I Have a Crush On a BOY!

[Placebo]

I really shouldn't though, he seems verrrrrrrrrry anti-social and I haven't even said a word to him, but nevertheless I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!

He's all PUNK, and wears the same damn clothes everyday, has bad dirty hair, and gives my friends and I the evil eye whenever we try to talk to him, but it's like, the more weird, he gets.........the more I am.........DRAWN to him! It is very strange.

I shouldn't even like him, he's not 'attractive' by any of the 'normal' societal standards, but it's almost like, the dirtier he gets and the worse he dresses.....the SEXIER i find him!

It definitely wouldn't work though, because 1. I don't know if he is gay. 2. he seems really anti-social and is definitely the loner type, and 3. he is very PUNK and I'm more the preppy type, but dammit, I THINK HE'S GREAT! I want him, hehe :P

[sui generis]

1. no you don't

not unless you want a whole lot of trauma and drama and hurt feelings. Anti-social has its reasons. Plus, personal hygiene is underrated in some people. down with b.o.

[jilln]

6. sage advice...

but anti-social could be because of shyness, it's not necessarily something bad

[skypilot]

2. You like those bad boys, don't you?

Those dirty, dirty bad boys.

It happens sometimes. You'll end up with a crush on a type of person that you normally wouldn't look twice at. This is your aberrant crush. I'd say enjoy it from afar. If he's as dirty as you describe, then "from afar" may be your only choice.

[Placebo]

3. You are probably right!

*siiiiiiiiigh* guess i will just enjoy him from afar :(

[Donkeyboy75]

4. If you are 55,

this is a truly sick post. :P

[ismnotwasm]

5. Ahhh!

Drawn to the bad boys syndrome. I remember it well. Usually a waste of time, but who knows? By the way, does Punk plus Preppie equals preppie punk?

[Placebo]

7. Mmm preppy punk...

i like where you're going :)

[tigereye]

11. I suspect preppy punks bathe periodically

[JohnKleeb]

16. Whats a preppy punk?

I am a prep but enjoy some punk music but I also like other stuff. :shrug: Anyhow good luck man.

[sandnsea]

8. Thrill seeking

It might not be attraction you're feeling, it might be the adrenaline related to danger. Like when you see a really cool roller coaster or get ready to go into a scary movie. It's great for the moment, but it generally doesn't mean you're ready to make a life's commitment to riding roller coasters every day. Took me many, many years to recognize the difference between attraction and adrenaline! Whatever you do, good luck! :)

9. If he is 14, you are one step from prison!

[Placebo]

10. I'm a freshman in college!

and so is he

[JimmyJazz]

12. Could I respond to that?

Do you mean punk like this?



or punk like this?



Cause if you mean #2, I say get yourself a pair of Creepers (they have made a come back) and go for it!

[Placebo]

13. #2

:P

[JimmyJazz]

15. Bonus points if you know who it is!

[JohnKleeb]

17. umm Paul Simon?

:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

18. Dude - we seriously need to get you a bit more clashified!

Paul Simonon. But, you were close, sorta:



Paul Simon

[JohnKleeb]

20. I was being a smartass

remarkable concidence though, who is Paul Simonon?

[Phillycat]

21. You weren't being a smartass--you cheated and looked at

"properties" and saw "simon". The reason I know this is because I did the same thing. :P

[JimmyJazz]

24. Oh JohnKleeb is soooooooooooo busted

I will never trust him again!
LMAO

Yeah, Paul Simon was on that make over show - look what they did to him! Amazing results!

[JohnKleeb]

26. hah really I admit that I right clicked but I was thinkin of Simon today

because I had heard some on the way home from school.
thread jackals we are!

[JimmyJazz]

29. Here - we'll just show The Nation this - he'll be happy and

and hopefully forgive us.

OR PERHAPS PUNK LIKE THIS???

[JohnKleeb]

32. Thats Bob Dylan isn't it

;)
I am kidding, I clearly read Joe Strummer in the right hand corner, speakin of him, I heard him sing Marley's Redemption Song on a British CD I got, wow it was neat.

[JimmyJazz]

35. Yeah - it's a great version. That whole cd "streetcore" is

really good especially "burnin' streets." It was probably some of the best work he ever did. But the last song, "Silver and Gold" made me cry like a baby.

I'm gonna go out dancin' every night
I'm gonna see all the city lights
I'll do everything silver and gold
I got to hurry up before I grow too old

I'm gonna take a trip around the world
I'm gonna kiss all the pretty girls
I'll do everything silver and gold
And I got to hurry up before I grow too old

Oh I do a lotta things I know is wrong
Hope I'm forgiven before I'm gone
It'll take a lotta prayers to save my soul
And I got to hurry up before I grow too old

:cry:

P.S. We owe The Nation big time!

[JohnKleeb]

36. hey we managed to keep the thread kicked lol

:). I am sure we'll be the ones owed. Ive gotten in to punk a lil more now since I got Rock Against Bush and American Idiot.

[JohnKleeb]

25. nah really I was

What is this McCarthyism day?

[JimmyJazz]

22. are you serious? you were just guessing and came up with that name!

Now, we've completely highjacked The Nation's post. Paul Simonon was the bass player for the Clash. He was brought into the band because of how he looked. He was unable to actually play the instrument for some time and never really mastered it to any degree. During shows, Mick would tell Paul what chords to play!

He is, however, a wonderful artist.

[JohnKleeb]

23. Yeah I heard some paul simon on the way home

Its a weird concidence yeah eh, but I do in fact know who the Clash is.

[JimmyJazz]

27. To paraphrase Mr. Jon Stewart: "JohnKleeb, I do believe

your pants are on fire."

[JohnKleeb]

28. but I wore shorts today

:shrug: This is like the McCarthy-Army hearings all over again.

[Phillycat]

30. Heh heh heh.

You can't get away with ANYTHING around here!

BTW, I am older than my BF and he seems to like it that way. Good luck with your older gal.

[JohnKleeb]

31. its just a crush

:shrug: My cousin seems to have a thing for older guys, in fact my one time camp conselor/basketball coach was hitting on her at a club.

[Phillycat]

14. #2 is one seriously sexy picture.

Yum.

[tjdee]

37. Are creepers those rocking high boots?

Is that what they are? Huh huh?

[JimmyJazz]

38. Creepers come in many styles, but this is the pair I had in mind

when I wrote that:

[tjdee]

40. Those are fly.....

I was thinking of something completely different...sigh.
I'm so not punk :)

[JimmyJazz]

42. tee hee - I've been a punk for 24 years! stick with me, we'll get you

there!

[JimmyJazz]

19. sorry dear, I didn't intend to highjack your thread - hope you enjoyed the

photos!

[Placebo]

43. No problem!

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

44. No matter what happens, I still think you should get the shoes!

[NamVetsWeeLass]

33. hmmm...

From the "Will and Grace" Perspective (Yes, I am a Certified "Hag", It seems that over 3/4ths of my friends are gay.) You are attracted to the "Dark Dirty Dangerous Boy" part of it, Get over it, You will get hurt by him because of the same inexplicable reason you are drawn to him. Unless he is putting on the Punk boy act. Yeah, People have a thing for bad boys, as Strange as that does sound. I don't fully understand it myself. It seems that you are drawn to almost the opposite of what you, yourself are.

[Red State Rebel]

34. Oh my, seems we need to have a little talk......

Bad guys are called that because they are....BAD! Am I getting thru here?

BTW, why didn't you tell me about this before????

[bigwillq]

39. I think it's called lust my friend

You want him because he's probably something you can't have.

If you're really serious about meeting him either

1. Just go up to him and say HI! I always find it attractive when guys have a sack and are able to come and talk to me
or
2. Does he have any friends or people that you can find out from as to whether or not he's gay. If so, go that route.

[Misunderestimator]

41. Reminds me of a song... You'd meet him on the street and never notice him.

"Bill" from Showboat

I used to dream that I would discover
The perfect lover some day.
I knew I'd recognize him
If ever he came ‘round my way.
I always used to fancy then
He'd be one of the godlike kind of men
With a giant brain and a noble head
Like the heroes bold in the books I read

But along came Bill, who's not the type at all
You'd meet him on the street and never notice him;
His form and face, his manly grace
Are not the kind that you would find in a statue.

And I can't explain,
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill.
I love him because he's wonderful
Because he's just old Bill.

He can't play golf, or tennis, or polo,
Or sing a solo, or row.
He isn't half as handsome
As dozens of men that I know.

He isn't tall and straight and slim,
And he dresses far worse than Ted or Jim;
And I can't explain why he should be just
The one, one man in the world for me;

He's just my Bill, an ordinary boy,
He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about.
And yet to be upon his knee
So comfy and roomy feels natural to me.

And I can't explain,
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill.
I love him because he's I don't know,
Because he's just my Bill.

45. what i'd give to be a freshmen in college again

trust me, nation, you're gonna have A LOT of crushes.


and enjoy EACH and EVERY ONE of them :P

[JimmyJazz]

46. ew. not me - Ronald Reagan would be president and ketchup

would be a vegetable. yuck. I've grown quite fond of my kids and my wrinkles, thank you.

[newsguyatl]

47. well it was only a few years ago for me

:P

[JimmyJazz]

48. Well, it seems it was only a few years ago for me!

I'm old enough to be The Nation's mother and I'm giving him such great advice like: here check out these pictures and buy these cool shoes! Pass me the parent of the year award and I'll be on my way!

[Guy Fawkes]

49. Wait... and you're a guy? GASP! Just because it happens in nature doesn't

make it natural!

Anyway, find out what bands he likes. There are a LOT of awesome gay-punk bands. Hell, the word "punk" used to refer to a young -submissive- gay man. (thank you for that info, Dan Savage)

[JimmyJazz]

50. I knew that! about the "punk" thing!!! I learned it from watching

Westway to the World. Hold on a sec here (lightbulb over head), you mean some of you posting here are GAY?

That is so way cool because I really love happy people...
