I'm clean.
If there was ever a point where I had a bit of a crush on Dr. Bob, I really don't remember. After nearly five years of being alternately amused and thoroughly exasperated by him, I can say without fear of hiding anything from myself that I neither wait breathlessly for a response from him or have anything but the amused affection or fondness one might have for the sort of friend or uncle most of us have at some point or another, the one who's like Dr. Bob.
All I'll admit to is a lifelong tendency to want to be a Jessica to those very few authority figures who've earned my respect, especially if they're smart and/or funny or really sweet. Ever since kindergarten when the vice principal used to put me up on his desk and let me talk to him when he saw me wandering around school till all hours waiting for Mama to pick me up.
Which is, I realize, more serious a reply than you were looking for. But I was stuck in replius interruptus when Dr. Bob mortally offended me.
