I am currently stranded in my house. My car is broken down because it is from hell and has been in the hands of some jerkface shop for 8-days now. That being said aside from going a little bit cabin-fevery, I am bored. So guess what that means? I'm gonna write some useless bit of info here for all to read, or not read, in all of it's boring glory (and that little saying has me thinking of Morning Glories, the prettiest of all losery weeds). Woo!
Celebrity crushes. We all had them (or still do) at some point in our lives. These perfect folks that command our attention from time to time. Sometimes for years. Sometimes we look back and think "Seriously?? Really? I told people you were cute?" Well, since I am so currently involved in life (aka watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 for the 5th time this week with the little dude) I have decided it would be cool to create a timeline of my life using my celebrity crushes. This will probably date me more than I want, but it's the price you pay for being a bored person.
First Crush Ever - Rick Savage. It's the 80s. I'm probably the ripe old age of maybe 6 or 7. And all of my older cousins are way into Def Leppard. And they're watching music videos on MTV when that was what they actually showed. And I see this dude, bass playing so of course I think he is brilliant, a real musical hero. From England. And I think he's cute. Maybe one day we can meet and get married, yeah that would be cool. Now, at the time I don't realize that the dude is my dad's same age and way too old already for the likes of my Terra-Linda-Elementary-School-attending self. I just thought he was (he's old now, and well, not cute anymore) awesome. And so it began...
So fast forward to 1992. And everyone (my co-7th grade homies) is not allowed to own the Nirvana or Metallica tapes that are the coolest thing out. Everyone but ME. Because my parents are not uber religious like the parents of all of my friends. So everyone came to my house to listen to the "good stuff". And so we hung out and listened to and watched Nirvana. And I could not help but notice that this crazy dude Kurt Cobain was kinda.. sorta.. a little bit of a babe. I mean, he had pretty rad eyes and didn't give a shit what anyone thought, ever. Does it get any cooler? Maybe one day we could meet, and get married. Yeah....
That of course was the story until things changed. My life changed the day 'My So Called Life' came out. Claire Danes (who is basically my exact same age, I think she's like 2-weeks older than me) is playing a 15-year-old girl (which we are at the time) and her love interest in the one and only Jared Leto aka Jordan Catalano. He is the most perfect guy I had ever seen both on TV and well, in real life he's alright too. And so when he decided to start a band when I was 22, I totally didn't become obsessed for a good 5-years, make friends with other obsessed, crazed fangirls, noo..... JK, but it was worth being embarrassingly into this band because it brought me at least 6 or 7 of the best friends I have ever had. I love my girls. And there are so many people that I know today only because of 30 Seconds to Mars. Thank you Jordan frickin' Catalano!
So towards the end of my high school days there's this dude in all of the up and coming coming-of-age flicks. Freddie Prinze Jr. And I can't help but notice, he is like the cutest... dude... ever. I mean adorable. I see him and think, "Wow, if I could just meet this dude, we could totally fall in love, and get married. Yeah." And I live happily in crush-land, until Sarah Michelle Gellar's lame ass comes along and MARRIES him. Shattering my fairy tale love life. Thanks Sarah. I don't ever get along very well with girls named Sarah. This has been a life trend. Weird.
And then time goes on and I've grown up, found out about real non-crush love myself, have two little kiddos of my own and, well crushes go on the back burner to real life. They are no longer exciting, or well, valuable. Celebs are just people, probably rude ones, especially the boy ones I would assume. That is until I discover The Strokes and find out about Julian Casablancas aka The Coolest Dude Alive. And he's kind of a bit of a fox ;) He is a brilliant singer/song writer who also shares my love for music by The Doors. And well, so again I think he is pretty awesome, of course. I'd probably not label this one as of much as a crush since, well, I don't really do crushes anymore. Ha!
Well that is the end of my personal time line o' lame-ass celeb crushes. That wasn't as entertaining as I had hoped, but it helped me kill some time while the chihuahua movie played for one kid, and while the other said mean things about his brother into his Auto-Tune app on his ipod. Anyone else have a list they wanna share with me? Isn't it funny how much our opinions change as we evolve? Eventually we all do, grow up.
This is the only of my celeb crushes I actually got to meet:
