Mine was the boy who could fly from… _drum roll_ … ‘the boy who could fly’. i saw it last week for the second time, and it brought back exactly how i felt the first time i had seen it.

really, i would have sworn that i had fallen in love… then again, i was only four.

Bobby Sherman. When I found out he was married I cried. I think I was like 13 or 14 at the time.  
Of course David Cassidy was a close second.

Well, let’s see. When I was young, Bob Conrad, William Shatner, Bobby Sherman, Davy Jones, Christopher Stone. Oh, I have to pick just one?? Can’t.

As to first real love, his name is L----. I can’t say his name here. Word might get out! 🙂 😉

As a kid, his name was, believe it or not, Forrest Strange. His daddy owned a dairy farm just outside Roswell, NM. I was 10. what did I know?

I should never admit this, but here goes. Shawn Cassidy. I really had it bad for him. I would listen to his cheesy albums over and over and stare at the album covers(kiss the album covers, “Oh, Shaaaawwwwnnnn”. Gawd, how embarrassing. Tons of issues of Teen Beat and Tiger and Dyn-o-myte around my bedroom. I was probably 8 or 9.

Well since psycat admitted to Shawn Cassidy, I guess I can admit to Leif Garrett (sp?) and/or Donny Osmond.

I was about 10, okay?!!!
