Write Back Weekend: "Stay The Night"
If you would kindly take a gander to the left you will notice I have a new tenant. It's all part of Blog Explosion's Rent My Blog program. Lucky for me my first time is with my blogging buddy, Monty. So stop by and bring her a cake or something, won't you?
So this week's TITMT revolved around a rather indecent proposal. I wanted to know with which celebrity(ies) would you choose to use your "get out of jail free" cards, so to speak. Some of you interpreted it differently and included people you'd like to "hang with" and that's ok too. After all, I wasn't completely clear on this.
First I must say how surprised I was at some of the responses. Here I am, thinking I'm all pop culture savvy, and some of you manage to stump yes, even me. Amy Acker? Molly Ivins? Anne Lamott? Marat Safin? Melanie Lynskey? Robin Roberts? This tells me I have an eclectic group of readers if there ever was one. That's cool. I like that.
Now for my answer, I've included a brief timeline.
In my early years I had a huge crush on Andrew McCarthy, wide eyed "I love her man!" innocence and all. But since I also had my soap phase, I was equally enamored with the likes of Ricky Paull Goldin and Matthew Ashford. You'll also notice most of my crushes were far beyond me in years. I guess you could say I tended to have sophisticated tastes.
But I did have a teeny bopper side that swooned over the likes of Joey Mcintyre, Chris Young, Sean Astin and eighties crush king, Kirk Cameron. And speaking of Growing Pains there was Brad Pitt, but I'm talking before he was BRAD PITT and just another scrub on GP.
In high school college I went through brief "love affairs" with, in no particular order, Dan Futterman, George Newbern, Danny Masterson, Matthew Perry, Stephan Jenkins, Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Lance Guest, Joshua Jackson and George Clooney.
Understand that this is a brief, abbreviated list. Also understand that I am a very loyal crusher. Although I have moved past seeing many of these guys as my "main squeeze" that does not mean I would kick them out of bed anytime soon either.
Unfortunately, in the past few years my crushes have remained stagnate. Not many new loves have entered the horizon. But no crush compilation would be complete without featuring my two biggest devotions: Ethan Embry and Randall Batinkoff.You might have seen Ethan in movies such as That Thing You Do, Sweet Home Alabama, Empire Records or Vegas Vacation. Then again, you might have not.
You probably didn't see Randall in productions such as For Keeps, School Ties, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Movie, Hefner: Unauthorized, and the late great ABC series, Relativity.
I consider these guys "crushes supreme" since I have hung on to some semblance of feeling for them--even long after the hope of either of them ever making it big has waned.
Now that's what I call devotion.
