So on his visits, he brings box sets of Glee and other programs to make me watch. Buffy came about when I ran the women's center and he was my teenaged computer guru. He made me pay by watching Buffy with him. Who knew I'd fall for delightfully snarky Spike.<br /><br />But crushes make no sense. xoxoxoLinda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38305199190400262012-04-07T00:27:05.697-04:002012-04-07T00:27:05.697-04:00Ooh, Linda, I'm probably too late posting, but...Ooh, Linda, I'm probably too late posting, but I LOVED James Marsters. He played a bad boy on some episodes of Torchwood, and was still really hot.<br /><br />We have Buffy on streaming Netflix, and I swear I'm going to make Rick watch it, just as soon as we finish Being Human.

Grandpa laughed and commented about how Moe might be <i>a little old </i> for me. Little did I know that Moe was about Grandpa's age.<br /><br />Soon, my heroes were cowboys. I moved on to Michael Landon on "Bonanza," although I didn't get to watch the show much because it came on too late. Earl Holliman on "Wide Country,"a short-lived series about the two brothers who were rodeo cowboys, A time change also put that one on past my bedtime, too.<br /><br />John was my favorite Beatle.

I think his name was Robert Walker? Earlier on, I had had a crush on child actor Eddie Hodges. But the crush on Robert Walker,if that's his name,was the one that made this good Catholic girl decide at the age of 14, "nope, never gonna be a nun!"<br /><br />In high school I adored -and I don't remember why - Jack Lemmon. I even dreamed about him. I got over the whole Jack Lemmon thing for decades but it returned a few years before he died. (He DID die,didn't he?)<br /><br />My mom, who died fourteen years ago,once told me that she carried a torch for Christopher Plummer. She could have happily watched him portray a serial killer,apparently. I couldn't understand the attraction, until recently watching The Sound of Music for about the twentieth time.It suddenly hit me: he's Hot! (Mom, nowadays you'd have to fight me for him!)<br /><br />Although I agree that George Clooney is handsome and smart,I don't see him as sexy. That might be because with his coloring and the shape of his face,especially around the mouth,he has some facial expressions that resemble my dad's when he was George's age. (And nobody's dad is sexy. Ew.)<br /><br />But my biggest, all-time,never-ending crush has been and will always be -ta da! - Cary Grant! Don't ANYBODY say anything bad about my Cary! I guess he would be around two hundred years old now;I could still watch him do anything!Deb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49520177786670533872012-04-06T14:33:23.687-04:002012-04-06T14:33:23.687-04:00Darlene, I just burst out laughing.

The Munchkin was a baby. Her father was working out of town and we'd had days and days of very bad weather so we'd been stuck in the house. We had a Sesame Street video from the library that we had watched every day.

I was sure he'd like me better than that Jane Asher, even if I was a little bit young...<br /><br />Too many to name since, mostly Brits. Hugh Grant before he got so cranky (or maybe he was always cranky and we just didn't know it.) Colin Firth. Rupert Penry-Jones. I do love Johnny Depp. I think Clooney is handsome, smart, and very funny, but not sexy. Don't know why. Same with Brad Pitt. But, oh, I adore Matt Damon.<br />And Robert Downey, Jr.<br /><br />The latest crop? Benedict Cumberbatch, definitely.

I've had a crush on him since he walked out of the water in "Pride & Prejudice."<br /><br />I'm not one to crush on the obvious hunks like Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Johnny Depp, though--yum--he's a quirky hunk. I like me some Clive Owen too. I've liked him since a little movie called "Croupier."<br /><br />For the longest time I had a thing for Vincent D'Onofrio. I still don't know what that was about. I liked his intensity, I guess. These days: Benedict Cumberbatch! Don't know who he is? Check out the new BBC "Sherlock" series coming in May! (Second season actually.)Lisa Alberhttp://www.lisaalber.comnoreply@blogger.com
