A semi-random poll, and a thank you.

[garote]

My warm thank-yous, to all my friends here who commiserated with me over the loss of my cat. Last night I put on headphones for my jog, and walked out back to her grave-marker. I'm glad the marker is there. A family-heirloom statue, glowing bone-white under the moon. It stands in a patch of lilies, transplanted from the house that she grew up in.

I stood there, looking down at what was practically my cat's ghost. The Ghost of Tuna the Cat, like something out of an Ultima game. I patted it on the rough granular head, and went out for my jog, feeling too young and too old at the same time.

Now I'm scanning many bank statements, tax forms, old phone bills, and letters, so I can recycle the papers. And listening to Rapoon! (Thank you, Mr. Beatings Man)
And chomping Samoas! And about to watch an old Danny Kaye film I got for six bucks on DVD: The Inspector General.

A semi-random poll, so all us puzzled people can compare notes:

Is your crush not responding to your advances because:

1. He/she is waiting for a better time to do so
   
2. He/she doesn't want to hurt or depress you
   
3. He/she is afraid of you
   
4. He/she simply doesn't know how to respond yet, and is waiting for inspiration
   

Theories, please!

You asked the poll question in present tense, which leads me to answer about my present crushes, which will mostly be speculation as I am not a mind-reader:

crush #1: #3 - told me he was falling, and didn't want to, and promptly proceeded to have minimal contact with me for several months afterwards.

crush #2: Is still not over his ex who dumped him about a month ago I think.
Though that doens't count, for he has responded... hrm. Still, I'm just a distraction right now.
