I have a new term I’ve introduced to a few of my friends. It’s not really a new term exactly. It’s more like – a new “saying”. Brain crush.

Nice, right?

Now a brain crush is something completely different than a crush. A crush sometimes has the intonation of being something physical. Like I have a crush on Denzel Washington. I have a crush on Halle Berry. I have a crush on Simon from American Idol. I even have somewhat of a crush on Dr. Oz from the Oprah show. Something about the way he talks about the S curve that your poop should be in just turns me on a little. Freud would have a lot to say about that, wouldn’t he? So CRUSHES have some origin to something physical. Some physical attraction. Something that makes your heart beat a bit crazier. A brain crush is something totally different. A brain crush is the type of thing that doesn’t make anything hard or wet or pitter patter. A brain crush just IS. A brain crush just connects with some part of you and it just feels nice and familiar and kinda like being home. A brain crush has nothing to do with physical – but everything to do with mental and has even more to do with … well… BRAINS. Intellect. Wit. Humor.

I have a BRAIN crush on OPRAH.
I have a BRAIN crush on … well… on a kid in my geography class who knows land masses as well as I know my way around Bed Bath and Beyond or Staples. I have a BRAIN crush on a lot of men that I wouldn’t even consider sleeping with – and probably would never even THINK about considering it because it’s so not about that.

The best thing is to have both types all rolled up into one. ‘Cept I am not so sure I’m ready to handle all of that yet.

I thought about my new saying/term again today when I was thinking about this site I ran across not so long ago. I immediately fell deep into brain crush with this person behind the idea because it’s just simply … BRILLIANT. Post Secret is an online art community where people mail in their secrets on a decorated (they decorate it themselves) postcard. There is something so … incredibly orgasmic to me. The thought that people feel safe mailing in their secrets to this guy so that he can post them here is … a turn on for my brain cells. I want to meet this person behind post secrets so I can just touch him. I want to camp inside his head for a moment and feel whatever it is that he feels when he realizes that millions of people now trust him and he is now the keeper of their secret. Even if names never cross his path – it’s powerful – these secrets. *sigh*

I didn’t think up the idea. But I figured that maybe I could post a few of my secrets to give honor to my brain crush of the month. (I have others but I don’t think they would appreciate being linked to a teenagers adult phone sex site…).

• I sometimes pee in the shower.
• I use to binge alot – sometimes I still do – I just can’t get rid of it the way I use to…
• Sometimes when I babysit for people, I look under their mattresses in their bedrooms to see what type of porn they have.
• I’m deathly afraid of Kangaroos
• I’ve never had an orgasm thru just penetration before. I always have to have clitoral stimulation in order to cum.

I have other secrets, too – but I’m reluctant to share them because – well – some of you know who I am. Some secrets are just plain necessary – though if I ever share the really hard stuff with you – you’ll be my brain crush, too.
