Currently, I've got a severe Spike (Buffy) fixation that has gotten so bad that every time he appears in an episode, I'll actually emit a little squeal of happiness (and I am normally not a squealy sort of girl). (I am counting the hours till tomorrow night's Spike-fest).

Recent past crushes: Wolverine (hmm, Wolverine, Spike? I think I have bad boy issues here); Steve Malkmus of Pavement; Ricky Fitts (American Beauty); Oz (Buffy)

Fictional crush in perpetuity:
Lloyd Dobler

Also every guy I've ever seen play a musical instrument at all well. It's a little creepy. It's like I've got a guitar=greek god connection formed somewhere in my brain. Saxophone.. mrowr! And god help me through my life if they can sing bass..

I used to swoon over Paul Atreides, but I think now that that would be one incredibly neurotic lover. Lazarus Long. I just can't resist a fascist 50s sci-fi hero. The robots from all those Isaac Asimov books.

I totally agree with you on Wolverine. Mrowr.

okay, having said that...
wolverine!!

wes bentley (his ricky fitts was so much like my husband that i prefer to have the crush on wes himself)

fox mulder

james hetfield from metallica

batman (print, animated, live-action... whatever. the only one i can't get with is the val kilmer batman. eek)

ian mckaye from fugazi

gabriel byrne

aidan gallagher (from this irish trilogy I'm embarrassed to have read-- but they were astonishingly entertaining-- by nora roberts)

rhett butler (in the book)

clark gable

captain crewe in _a little princess_

nigel tufnel from spinal tap-- "there's nothing wrong with being sexy!"

the six-fingered man in the movie version of "the princess bride"

wesley in the book _the princess bride_

okay, christopher guest too

doyle from the first season of Angel (he kissed me on the cheek at my bachelorette party! Um, glenn quinn, that is, not the actual character. sooo lovely.)

Okay, fine, glenn quinn too

kevin spacey

i'm sure i'll be back with more...

I will never stop loving Sean Connery. I think it's his accent that does it for me.

I also had a crush on Fox Mulder in Year 9.

... I moved to Chicago post-College specifically to find, meet and marry Dr. Carter (ER) but would settle for Drs. Green, Benton or Kovach (the one-night stand reserves are Drs. Ross and Maluchi).

Wolverine tops my bad boy list, as well.

Past crushes vary sadly the New Kids on the Block--each one of them EXCEPT Jonathan--occupied my pubescent heart at some point in time. And during the summer between seventh and eighth grade my best friend Amber and I constructed the "Wall of Men" in my bedroom, of which the main staple was FOUR issues of the same Seventeen magazine featuring Christian Slater ...

As they resurface, I am sure to be back with more ...

1. Lindsey from Freaks and Geeks (my friend Leo saw Kim Kelly in something else, and said she was cute there).

2. Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu in Charlie's Angels. Embarrassing, but I loved the movie (it was dumb though).

3. Lisa Miller on Newsradio.

4. Parker Posey in most anything she's done.

5. Rosie, Lulu, and Helga from the Kit Kat Klub in Cabaret.

6. Michelle (but not Romy)

7. Kirsten Dunst in the Virgin Suicides and Dick

8. Halle Berry in Bulworth (even though she's a bad actress)

9. Katie Holmes in GO and Wonder Boys

10. Rebecca Pidgeon in State and Main

11. Lauryn Hill in King of the Hill (the movie, not the tv show), and in real life

12. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights.

1. The lead singer from the band Live- Ed Kowazylicksomething. He's not classicly handsome or anything, but he has the intensity onstage that is just...grrr.

2. Jim Cavaziel (another hard one to spell) from The Thin Red Line. Those eyes! Those cheekbones! Ohhh....

3. Whoever the guy is that played the English teacher in "Never Been Kissed." He is a definite oh hi there!

Jimmy Fallon from SNL- awww what an adorable guy what with those cute cowlicks and all...funny (most important thing) I love him!

Like janest, Berg from Two Guys and a Girl

Dan from Road Rules 5- he's a cutie

And if I have to pick someone from today's "acceptable" crushes, I guess Ben Affleck won't make me barf.

Kikinoir, I'm so glad you specified that you would be a "happy man," NOT because there would be anything wrong if you weren't, but for some reason I had always invisioned you as a woman! So I began to read your reply and I was like, "Oh!" and then I got to the last line, and I was like, "Ohhhhhhh I get it." It's nice to be enlightened. Learn something new every day.

The movies, this could get dangerous. Lloyd Dobler (how can you not?), Trip Fontaine (Virgin Suicides), Sick Boy (Trainspotting), Dirk Calloway (Rushmore --yes, he's 12, it's gross, whatever), Mark from Empire Records... I'd better stop now.
I used to think Linus was dreamy, but sadly, I find myself more enamored of the PigPen type as of late.

I tend to like guys similar to what I like in real life... had a huge thing for Joeseph Finnes from Shakespeare in Love a couple years ago. Not many new crushes as I don't watch too much TV. As a kid I always liked boys from Teen Beat that no one else ever really had heard of. Shane McDermott (Swans Crossing) and Mike Vitar (the Sandlot) were my fictional crushes at age 13.

anyway...i totally dig your "He is a definite oh hi there!"...such a cute line.

janest...trip fontaine...gross. i guess i just can't get over what he became.

If we're gonna be gross and mention adolescents, I'm hanging onto a crush that i had as a teenager on Caitlin and Melanie on Degrassi Jr. High. Obviously they're too young for me now, but they were adorable way back when.

Wolverine!!!! (I talked Sean into growing big fat mutton chops. He thinks he looks like Neil Young circa '73, but I dream about that hunky X Man)

Lloyd Dobbler (That clash t-shirt!)

John Cusak

Rob from High Fidelity (From the book, but in the movie, too, of course)

Pierre Maguire (He's the former head coach of the Montreal Canadiens and is now a hockey commentator on TSN which is the Canadian equivalent of ESPN. He's bald and wears glasses and has an adorable geeky/jocky thing going on and he always talks with his hands.)

Eric Bachmann (Former lead guy from Archers of Loaf and current Crooked Fingers. He's super tall, balding and wears glasses. Hmm, a pattern seems to be developing. Anyway, he came to my birthday last year and when I worked at the cafe, used to come in and I'd give him free Cappuccinos. Sean used to be his publicist. He has an adorable Georgian accent!)

Shayne Corson (Defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs. A goon! And soooo cute!)

So, if I can summarize: slightly geeky guys who play hockey and obsess about indie music. That's Sean, and if you add all my pretend crushes up, you kinda get him.

And, I don't know how I forgot John Lynch as the uncle in the movie version of "The Secret Garden," Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff in "Wuthering Heights," [which I believe only ever aired on HBO, years ago] and Daniel Day-Lewis in "The Last of The Mohicans."

I'm a sucker for prominent noses.

Han Solo--You like me b/c I am a scoundrel (-al?) and Indiana Jones.

Later, as he was introduced Jack Ryan (not the Hunt for Red October Jack, but the Patriot Games one).

And so did I.

"The Rock" - You can check me in to the Smackdown Hotel anyday....aaaauuugggggghhhh(picture Homer here)

Giovanni Ribisi - Oh my lord, this man is HOT!!

Tony Montana from Scarface - not Al, but Tony

Angel Juan from the Weetzie Bat books - what a sweet, mysterious hunk of man he would be

Edward Scissorhands - sorry, but I want one of him to bring home - I'd love him and pet him and feed him.....

Bruce Willis - need I say more? Didn't think so

Li Mu Bai - all that flyin' and fightin' is enough to get a gal in a tissy - had a dream that he said I was good enough that he was training me to be a Wudan fighter.....ohhh, why did I have to wake up?

Peoples from Shaft - I know, I know! I think I have a serious bad boy/f**cked up guy thing going on here....ah well, bring 'em on!!!

I had a thing for Mulder until I realized that he looked like my brother....it kinda ruined the show for me

Tori Amos - if I was a lesbian, she'd be my first pick - as it is I have an unhealthy obsession with her

Scully/Gillian Anderson - One hot mama, I more wanna be her than date her, but...

This guy at work...sorry, had to add him, although the package is a lot better than the real deal, that's why I'm pretty sure he'll stay fictional

Madonna

Christopher Walken

Frances McDormand

Phillip Seymour Hoffman in both Magnolia and in State and Main.

Jodie Foster

Humbert Humbert in Lolita... speaking of which... Jeremy Irons in the movie version.

Alan Rickman in anything, anytime, anywhere.

Allison Janney on "The West Wing".

God, this is the best topic, ever. I could keep going for hours!
