while i'm dealing with a couple days' worth of e-mail backup --

-- my aunt has ovarian cancer and is going in for surgery on thursday.

[chews lip, fingernails]

now, this is puzzling.

( i didn't take the original meme, so i'm not the one who has a crush -- of any sort -- on any of you [g]. )

so someone has a secret crush on me ... 'kay ... and someone used to have a crush on me but no longer does ... also okay.

but: someone has a public crush on me? how is it that i didn't know this until just now?

i am not going to pay money to learn who these people are. in the first place, i don't have money to burn, but more importantly, eew.
