Crushes on celebrities

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I’ve never been one to harbor “love” for people I have no chance of meeting. I’m more realistic. Instead, I had a crush on almost every guy I met between grades five and twelve. That’s not to say I haven’t been intrigued by certain famous people, just that I’m well aware that it’s a public persona, and may not reflect the true person.

I have been attracted to more “alternative” personalities, I suppose. At eleven, most of my friends were ga-ga over Kirk Cameron, who totally left me cold. I, on the other hand, watched Star Trek: The Next Generation and drooled over dreamy Whil Wheaton. I admit, I’m still not totally over that one, even though he’s married with kids.

I’m not immune to celebrities’ public charms! To prove it, I’ve provided a list of my current famous crushes:

-         Greg Grunberg

-         Seth Rogan

-         Paul Rudd

-         Anderson Cooper – So angular! So hot!

Also, on a related note: I was reading People this weekend (don’t you dare razz me about that), and there was an ad featuring Lucy Liu sitting on the lap of a cute, nerdy, redheaded and bespectacled librarian. I don’t even remember what the product was. All I could think was, “Yes.”
