People I wouldn't kick out of bed...
1) Peter Holmstrom of the Dandy Warhols. OK, despite the fact that idol-worship is invariably *ruined* by getting to know your idols, every now and then, I still see a picture of him, and just go "uuuuhhhh..." 2) Sonic Boom. Living proof that dirty dronerock boys from Rugby can have cheekbones, too. 3) Damien Hirst. Brains can be as attractive as looks. Besides, you just know he'd be absurdly *dirty* in bed. 4) Jeff Davies out of BJM/Smallstone. Uuuuuuhhhhhhh... 5) DanandOllie out of the Channel 6. This isn't even a crush any more. In fact, I don't actually want to sleep with either of them, either. It's not actually about *them* - as evidenced by the fact that I no longer distinguish between the two of them. It's just one of those things that has been going on for so long that it's become one of my personality quirks. Kate fancies the C6. I mean, if I *didn't* say something about them it would be odd, you know?
OK, just a general list of other boys I think are pretty: Nicky Wire (well, duh!), the keyboardist out of Sigur Ros, Nick out of Fonda500, posessor of the "Best Fringe In Rock", Mark Gardener (yes, still, even bald!), errrmmmm... gosh, I really must be sick if I/m having problems raising a flush of hormones about anyone. Most shameful boy I find attractive is probably Crispian Mills. If only I could tape his mouth shut and just have him stand there looking pretty. (hmm, kind of the way I feel about Nicky Wire. Wonder if there's something to that?)
Will probably add more boys who want to adore me as I think of them.
You're totally on the money about Mark Gardener. I got involved with college radio because the boy in charge looked exactly like him.

britney -- like i said that one night, it's like screwing america. and who hasn't wanted to do at least once?
beyonce -- i can only hope that she is my destiny.
nelly furtado -- but only if she promises not to rap or chant or whatever she does on that missy remix.
penelope cruz and salma hayek -- um, they're hot?
julianne moore -- because she was without makeup for almost all of safe and still looked great.
winona ryder -- fucking beck, man. he got her when she looked her best in years. beck's almost enough to put me off entirely. but not quite.
laetitia casta -- we'd speak the language of love.
thandie newton -- though i imagine dan and i would have to fight for her affection, and a menage a trois, with dan, is OUT OF THE QUESTION.
mila kunis -- some days, it's donna; some days it's jackie. today it's jackie.

and your sister likes these animal men. OUT OF THE QUESTION.
But she has money, and basically the same face regardless of age. Nelly will be hosting a show on the cbc within a couple of years, and then where would you be. and your sister likes these animal men. OUT OF THE QUESTION.
But that shows she has a lack of taste, so she'd probably really be into you. If she liked Crispian and Johnny Dean, it's likely...
― Otis Wheeler, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
I am so not talking to Fred anymore.
PS: Have realised no-tongue only applies to Angel.
I would've put Katie Fuckin' Holmes on the list if I liked the characters she plays. I would've put Ally's sister on the list if she still looked like Katie Holmes, but now that she looks like Mila Kunis, I don't care.
So, yeah, go away, thanks, we are so thru, how disturbing is this? "Yeah, here's my man, he wants to shag women that look suspiciously like my sister". U. G. H. Where's Richey when I need him?
Alex James... hmmmm... in about 1993/4, in a heartbeat. No questions asked. Oh yes. In fact, Ally, have you read The Deep Field? (mwah hah hah). But now... no, it's just too awful. I mean, it's not bad enough that he got all fat and furry like a giant teddy bear, but he CUT HIS FRINGE OFF!!! I mean... forget it! No fringe, no Alex!
Oh, and I forgot. Bobby Gillespie. He was the man who awoke my teenage sexuality in 1985, and I will never forget it, no matter how skanky he might get, he is still forever lovely and leatherclad and sweeping his fringe out of his face in my mind.
Sorry, Christian Bale is just not attractive. Nope, just can't see it. Next you'll be trying to convince me that Jude Law is anything but an ugly mug. However, Johnny Depp? Yes, indeed. Loveliness, even though I don't fancy actors at all. Well, OK, excepting maybe Ewan McGreggor and Gary Oldman.
Sorry, I could talk about cute boys all night. I often do. Heh.
Actually, now that I've thought it thru, this is the best thing ever. We should totally be hanging out with each other because we'd go to a club, see two guys, and we wouldn't have the issue of the mini-fight over which one goes with whom - we'd like different ones. This would be such a fantastically good thing, a change of pace, you see.
I've seen no recent pictures of Alex James, nor do I want to. In my mind, he looks exactly how he did on the promos for Great Escape still, damnit.
Actually, Blur as a whole aren't bad at all. My former neighbor looked like Graham, he was quite tasty.
and disturbing isn't picking someone who looks like your sister; disturbing is picking someone who looks like my sister. which is why jenny mccarthy couldn't even be considered.
and i took it for granted that we meant characters. who wants to sleep with people with emotions and feelings that go deeper than those expressed in videos and sitcoms? that's why models rule because they represent objectification at its best.
Hmm, based on your current picture I wouldn't say you look like Richey at all...
It's good if you and yer female friends don't agree on taste in men, cause then there's never fights over boys. I used to have a best friend who had the exact same taste in men, and she always pulled the boys I fancied, and it SUCKED!!! Now I'm mates with Jane (bassist for Lollies) there's never any trouble. She always likes the singer and I always like the bassist... with a few rare exceptions. (She thinks Damon is hot. I think he's a twat, and far prefer Alex... oh, and BTW, he was already being airbrushed by the Great Escape. Modern Life era Alex is the loveliest, by far... mmmm...)
I only sleep with men anyhow because I hate men and want to control them and abuse them, so the more emotions they have to fuck with, the better. Though I decided to go celibate today to make Ramon obsess over me.
Wanting to shag your siblings or your SIGNIFICANT OTHER'S SIBLINGS is sick though, really.
2/ Louise Loughman (Irish TV presenter who's kinda gawky looking and has horrible taste in clothes, PVC pants and such, but I still find her gorgeous)
3/ Teri Hatcher (whatever happened to her?)

Yes, Alexander the James has banished the fringe and got fat. It is terribly unfortunate. However, RickyT, who says we'd have to peel him away from Damien Hirst first, anyway? Go back and look who else is on my list!
I don't know why I like blond men so much. It must be the incest thing. Especially blond men with glasses. Glasses make any man about 10 times more attractive. Watched _Stand By Me_ last night and was having hideous impure thoughts about a pre-pubescent Cory Feldman. Save me!

I think I'd only seen Rosamund Pike in Pride & Prejudice before. The way she moves her face in Fracture, she sucked me right in from that amazing entrance onwards. I can only remember that happening with Zooey Deschanel in Hitchhikers and Nicole Kidman in The Others before. The camera just loves her.

infatuations and crushes and impoverished one-sided relationships should not be bestowed upon real people, because people are really not worth it

― mookieproof, Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link
i think crushes are important.
if you saw things with total objectivity--if you saw people as they are, like really as they are--you would be overwhelmed with the weakness and folly of humanity. we are smart enough to understand, or maybe formulate, ideals, but we are way too limited to realize them. if you dwell too much on them, you become a misanthrope.
admiring, and even feeling "crushed," by the beauty of another, even romanticizing them to a point that isn't really warranted, that is distorting, is a way to ward off misanthropy.
― treeship., Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link
it will make you, personally, miserable of course. you're never gonna "get" the object of your affection. even if you do enter a relationship with them, you'll soon learn they're just another sinner like you. to love them you will need to let go of the ideal in your mind, that construct that had "crushed" you. but being personally miserable is a prerequisite of having faith in humanity.

― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 26 September 2020 13:21 (three years ago) link
I constantly have more crushes than I can count, but I'm happily married and they don't mean anything.
Maya Rudolph though, is a Very Serious Crush. I went back and forth on whether I liked Big Mouth, but I hung on just to hear her say "bubba baff."
I have a coworker who I like but never fancied before. Recently, she got a short haircut (I like ladies with short hair)and I started finding her to be cute. Found out yesterday that she got braces (I'm fascinated by women with braces). But I can't see her braces because we're all masked up for quarantine and whenever we're talking I'm thinking about what's behind her mask which creates a tension which makes the mask exciting. Weird times.
