The Secret Crush

"Expectations lead to disappointment"

A brilliant friend who looks smokin' in her Banana Republic jeans taught me that.

My secret crush right now is Vin Diesel. I really am embarrassed about it too. Why is it that I can have a crush on Steve Buscemi, Edward Norton, Luke Wilson and Professor Snape that I will flagrantly admit too, but a Vin Diesel crush leaves me hanging my head in shame? It's because he's all muscle (which I really don't usually care for), doesn't seem too smart, and certainly isn't the world's best actor. I saw Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick and was converted. He's just so hot as a bad guy hero. Don't tell my husband.

Obviously you have not been talking to Erica or Zapp about him or you would have heard that he's been on every wishlist I have for the last 4 years. That man could read me the dictionary in nothing but a pair of jeans and I'd be happy. [insert drool smilie here].

Does a secret crush count when the crushee has a crush on the crusher?

I'm with you on Vin Diesel. There is something about that big hunky man with a deep voice that just makes me shiver! Yum Yum

So my longest crush has been Charlie Sheen. I love the bad boys.

As you all know, my biggest crush passed away. I pine for thee, Jerry O.

I was thinking of "secret crushes" this afternoon, and I have always had a little crush on Joss Whedon. To me, he is absolutely brilliant, witty and sharp. He has also kept me locking eyes with the television with Buffy The Vampire Slayer & Angel, for ages now! THANK GOD they live on in syndication (and now on DVD! I'll never stop watching! )

I really want to purchase Firefly on DVD, a series that I never got to catch the first time around. And, I just read an interview with Alyson Hannigan (Willow, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) hinting about discussion of a Buffy movie built around Spike, who just so happens to be another monster (no pun intended!) crush of mine!

Sigh. My Buffy & Angel fanzines are like Penthouse to me. (insert 25 geek smileys)

GrrrArghh!

edited to add: for mistyisjafo's Buffy sig above me! Yay Buffy!

My Hobbit-reading Starbucks crush has stepped up a notch. :giggle: I love being greeted by name and drink order by Richie. :giggle: Richie :giggle: I think I love him. He's putting together an awesome basket of cups and thermoses and coffee and all sorts of goodies for my auction. :giggle: He's got my home number now. :giggle: Have I mentioned recently that he's HOT? :giggle: He is!

This is an adorable crush.

Last weekend I went with one of my pals to the WonderCon (a comics/fantasy convention here in San Francisco). Joss was there with 3 members of the Firefly cast - all of whom were also guests on Buffy/Angel. They were going to be doing a signing session, but in order to meet them you had to participate in a raffle (each autograph session was limited to 125 participants). I was given strict instructions by Heather, my beautiful wife, that it was mandatory for me to get Adam Baldwin's autograph. I lost the raffle, but instead won a raffle to get Christian Bale's signature. Luckily, there were some very young girls who had a winning Firefly ticket and were drooling over Christian, so a trade was made. That afternoon, I was chatting with the local Universal Pictures rep who, for reasons still unknown to me, decided to bring me "backstage" to the press room. I got to walk to the autograph room with Joss and Adam and was first on line for autographs. I returned home with a 8x10 inscribed to Heather by the three boys (Summer Glau just signed her name) and I was allowed into the house. "Secret" crush? Some secret.

Cool!! Mega major snaps for you!

Up close with Joss deserves endless snaps! Did you get see Nathan Fillion from Firefly? He was wicked creepy as Caleb on Buffy.

I'm also so excited for Serenity!

Yep. Nathan was boy #3.

I'm psyched for Serenity, too.
