OK, the real world stuff is all good and fine, and I'm willing to admit that my outdoors time is limited, but I disagree that "real world" stuff makes you forget about things.

As for occupying my time in other ways, I've tried that. I've tried keeping my mind off the person, but things always bring me back to her, or I see/talk to her. And her first name is a noun/adjective, and I never noticed how often I see it used until I realized I really liked her.

I've tried to find faults, and there are plenty of them. But when you care about someone, it's hard to hold things against them. If you can dismiss a close friend who you also have feelings for just because you don't have the same taste in music, then you're worse off than me.
