I got a thing for brainy underdogs: Ilan Mitchell-Smith (Wyatt from “Weird Science”)…awwww, yeeah. Otherwise: John Cusack Kevin Spacey Robert Sean Leonard Duncan Sheik Now, I’m pretty much straight but I’d reconsider for: Jodie Foster Traylor Howard (the girl from "2 Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place…which I don’t watch but I know she’s on that show) ---

Well, 2 come to mind, right now. Allison Hannigan (Willow, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)

The Kratt brothers of “Kratt’s Creatures” (together, not separately) 🙂 and Bill Nye the Science Guy. I know, I know, he’s geeky! But he’s smart, funny, and good with kids. Not everyone can have pecs like Mark Wahlberg. Not that I’d kick Mark Wahlberg outta bed, mind you… ---

This weekend, I’m working on grading 100 5-page papers on the McDonaldization of society. Hope everything is well with you.

Woohoo! Other people who have crushes like me! Here’s mine… Michael Biehn (played Cpl. Hicks in Aliens, Reese in Terminator…yum.)

How sad is this? I made a page about Sebastian Spence (I was bored and stoned on cough medicine, what can I say?) and not only did I put pictures of him on it, I retouched a few so that I was in them too. Yes, this is junior high, all over again.

I don’t go for the actor as much as the character they played. Never heard of Ewan Macgregor before Star Wars, now his “star wars” picture is my laptop’s wallpaper. A while ago I stumbled on a made for TV movie I think was called “An affair to Remember” by Barbara Taylor Bradford. I’m now head-over-heals for the male character (Bill I think). Yum. If anyone can tell me who is is I’d be most grateful (time for a new wallpaper picture). ---

> [@](#): > > Never heard of Ewan Macgregor before Star Wars, now his “star wars” picture is my laptop’s wallpaper. He’s been in a lot of movies, most notably Trainspotting, although his part is a bit less noble than his Star Wars role. ## JMHO - Trainspotting is a better movie. \>^,^\< KITTEN Seven days of sex makes a whole week.
