Remember when George Castanza had a non-sexual crush on the Dan Cortese “Tony”?
I’ll admit to having non-sexual crushes, meaning the “I want to be them” part of “Women want them and men want to be them.”
In no particular order:
Rupert Giles: He’s very smart, good looking, sophisticated, and in the real world, his dating life would be a major hit among the smartypants female set.
Paul Young: He’s a good looking guy, has a smooth, man-sultry voice, got Pino Palladino to play bass on his albums, and seems like a smooth lady-killer.
Richard Hammond (Top Gear, Brainiac): A good looking short guy (I’m on the short side), who makes smart remarks while presenting interesting and funny tv shows.
Xander Harris (a bit): A decent looking guy, in good shape, a lovable nerd.
I want to be Sandra Bullock. She’s smart and funny, and can do everything from “unappealing geek” to “soccer mom” to “drop-dead gorgeous.” She’s also very talented, especially with the right script. Everything I’ve heard/read is that she’s a genuinely nice person, too, with no diva behaviour on her sets or anything. If I can’t be her, I want to be her friend.
Do they have to be famous? Cause I have one friend I’m completely in love with and would love to step in her shoes for a while to see how she manages everything in her life yet stays so fun and focused.
I thought of one on the way home. I have a huge platonic crush on the french singer Alizee. I mean, she’s so cute! And she shakes her butt so adorably at the camera, and sings well, and dances great. How could you know?
Excalibre. He has such a healthy self esteem that he’s sublimely unperturbed by anyone’s low opinon of him. I admire that.
And I want to be Holland Taylor when I grow up.

I owe the object of my admiration an apology; this sounds horrible. I deeply respect and admire Excalibre’s sense of dignity and his refusal to allow unfounded insults from those unable to match his arguing skills to sway him from his convictions.
Everybody hates him, but look, he’s completely unaware of it! Like that one guy at every party with the bad breath who can’t figure out that everyone’s trying to avoid him! I wish I could be as blithely unaware as he is!
It’s okay, dear. I figured you weren’t likely to say mean things about me. I only emailed you because I thought it was funny.
