For reasons fully known only to myself, some four or five years ago I was looking for a serious definition of infatuation.
But I found this in the Urban Dictionary. It made me laugh so much that I posted it on my blog at the time. I remembered it the other day, and thought a few of you might enjoy it.
Some of us may have been the ‘object’ but who of us cannot admit to having been the ‘obsessor’ at least once.
infatuation |
|
|
All-encompassing, gut-wrenching, soul-draining activity that only requires the active involvement of one individual: the obsessor. A second individual is required for the peripheral need of providing the obsessor with an object of needless, unappreciated, possibly unwanted, often unwarranted affection. The second individual may or may not be aware of his/her peripheral involvement, and may or may not be willing to be peripherally involved: the object’s awareness and/or willingness of being an object of desire is of no consequence to the obsessor. |

This is so insane, yet so funny and true. I even did a search and found a quote, not as funny,, but just as true. Thanks for the loveliest laugh of my day .
“I want to be everything you didn’t know you were looking for.” ;p
