that crush thing...
Oct. 14th, 2003 10:57 ami took down my original entry on the LJ crush meme. This was the one were the guy was offering to sell the results of his meme for $4 a pop. I didn't take the quiz (to my memory), so I don't know if the fact this data might be shared or not was mentioned on there (which does make some difference).
I also didn't take it too seriously when I first looked at it since the word crush is really variable to me; when I think crush I don't necessarily mean I love you romantic crush; usually i think friendship crush..as in this person is just plain neat.
I think if I had filled it out, anyone in my secret crush section would have just been fun and I believe the same follows for most of my friends. So at first i didn't see too much harm in him selling the info off, because anyone who was in my crush section would be someone I would guess to be there. If someone took it more seriously though, I can understand them being upset...and I understand why it annoyed some people, so i decided to take it off my LJ. On another note, the guilt evidently got to the guy and he took the site down.
ah well.
