When you consider that I ... had a desperate crush on Azzi

I'm the same class as Jennifer Azzi.

My father desperately wanted her as a daughter-in-law.  He'd tell me, "She plays basketball, she's Italian, she's cute...what more could you want?"

I was always amused by the order of his priorities.

By my senior year my father was getting desperate: "OK, just get me an egg.  One ovum is all I need!"  (He's an endocrinologist, and he was joking.  Kind of.)


I met her just once, briefly, while standing in line to register for a class.  I considered telling her about my dad but I couldn't think of a way to make it sound funny instead of creepy.
