Squee! Rupert! :o
I wasn’t going to come into this thread at all, as since I got with my sweetie I’ve literally never been tempted - what a party pooper I am. But then I realized, after watching his clips for the hojillionth time, that whenever I see or hear Hokuto Konishi a smile comes onto my face, so that probably counts.
I recently remembered how fun crushes are - the type where it’s never occured to you to even think about following through on them. A happy bit of extra excitement/motivation to get you through the day (Like my old (but young) calculus teacher from college - got me out of bed to the 8AM class each morning, though gay. Perfect!). Sadly all my co-workers are dorks (nice ones, though).
I wish I had a regular gym crush to keep me excited about that.
I would like to add Adriana Costa of “The Lot” to my list…
A woman at work that I have had a crush on for the last 12 years. Not the most beautiful woman in the world, but what a smile. Unfortunately for me, she seems pretty set in that whole happily married thing, so I settle for saying hi and trying to make her smile. And I don’t even get to do that since I changed departments.
I rotate my crushes to keep things fresh.
Right now I am on a rather large asian crushfest: Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan.
I like them both for different reasons but you simply can’t mention them in the same sentence just because they’re Asian! One is a smoking hot serious actor, the other one makes a living by slamming fridge doors shut really fast on people’s heads.
raises hand
I’m a rather large Asian!
I think I have a crush on you now, just because you posted that.
I kinda like Ellen Muth from Dead Like Me – especially since I found out she’s a member of Mensa and Intertel.
I don’t really get many crushes in real life. I’m perfectly happy with the man I’ve got. I do get TV crushes though. Here are my current ones:
Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)
John Corbett (I’ve been watching Northern Exposure reruns)
Simon Cowell :o
I have to say, that is the worst excuse for a crush I have ever seen. What were you doing? [/Simon Cowell]
She’s mid-40s, divorced, childless, a recovering fundamentalist, a talented writer, and an accomplished pop culture historian despite having only a high school education. She’s also classically elegant in style, good with her hands, and has flowing raven hair and a very pleasant pair of legs.
She’s about 600 mi from me, so we’ve never met, but we interact on a fairly reputable general interest board, and we PM frequently.
I’m trying to give her subtle hints (she’s all about subtlety), but as of yet, she hasn’t taken them. I’m willing to nurse this one along, though - she is truly, truly rare.
MySpace in profile; feast your eyes. You’ll find my claim of largeness to be largely (heh) boast. I’m only 5’9".
You know, I think that I, too, hate how well you wear orange.
Same here!
gigi, that’s a pathetic imitation of yellowval’s crush. You need to make your crushes YOUR OWN! /Simon Cowell
I now have a crush on the woman who works at the MoneyMart where I fill up my prepaid Mastercard. Black, curvaceous, and beautiful. And she’s always so pleasant to talk to.
:: le sigh ::
Lately I am all about Laura Knoy from New Hampshire (and occasionally National) Public Radio. She’s getting a lot of play lately on C SPAN with all the presidential hopefuls coming through NH. She’s bright, articulate, informed, has a warm musical voice, and the camera reveals a long, slender, chic brunette with a low-maintenance bob and restless, expressive hands.
Not to take anything away from my feelings for the one I told you about earlier in the thread. She’s from Maine. Must be something about those New England girls.
Cuddy from House. I think her name is Lisa Edelstein or something like that, but the character is much more attractive than the actress.
Holy crap that’s a big one!!!
BTW How tall are you for comparison?
innocent
Who knew the Internet had the power to make you blush? Thank you both.
By the way, MaxtheVool, I found your single doper flirt/crush thread that was locked, and it gave me a little boost when I did.
Also, count me in on the John Corbett fanwagon. I watched “My Big, Fat Greek Wedding” the other week and I kept saying, “Damn you, John Corbett! Why must you be the same age as my father and make me feel all weird for finding you attractive?”
And John Armitage, especially in his role as John Thornton in North & South. Like Mr. Darcy without the mor jerkish character traits. Armitage has the most amazing voice.
Finally, one of the writers on staff at my college’s newspaper was positively dreamy and he was in a few of my classes and he was smart and . . . le sigh. Beautiful nose, incredibly masculine, and smiled like no other. But editors could not fraternize with writers. Stupid ethics. And now I’ve transferred schools.
