ways to kill an incipient fascination with another human being of the opposite gender (aka a crush):

*produce, AD, direct or any other time crushing activity
*destroy the beats that end a meeting gracefully
-without sacrificing professionalism
*identify the needs the person satisfies and devise new ways to sustain them
*read Qur'an, read Qur'an, read Qur'an

ways to fail at all of the above:
*washing dishes
*listening to person in question's music
*engaging in philosophical discussions with said person that are usu. reserved for private journals
*indulging prose inspired by said muse

dear God help me think clearly, it's Ramadan of all times...
