Crushes (from an older main list post)

Replying late, so combining responses. RL has been *awful*. 
Unfortunately it was more than 
just busy. *That* I could have handled.

Hey, I *like* David Cassidy.  He's held up pretty well, actually.

I'd say *very* well, myself.

You know what? I have to agree, but I do like how Scott Baio turned 
out. I liked him as he was 
in Diagnosis Murder.

I don't think so. He *was* in Empire Records, which I believe might 
be very similar.

That was a weird experience. It's *odd* when your current female 
crush comes on to your first 
male crush in a movie (the cfc would be Liv Tyler).

Incidentally, I always thought MC would make a good Lockhart. He is 
actually British (the Brit 
thing goes deep for me) and he really seems like the type.

In RL he's married to Juliet Mills (who is eighteen years older than 
he is) and they've been 
together since before I was twelve, so that's going on twenty years. 
A Hollywood/showbiz 
marriage that's actually lasted. Good for them.

I think I liked the other one. Definitely not Mr Harket (my best 
friend was insane about him), 
Paul was the blonde, sort of skinnyy one, I think? If not, it was him 
that I liked. And I can't 
remember the other one's name now.

Last I heard, he was in Kevin Smith's Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. I 
believe it was only a 
cameo, though.

Oh, so do I! He was always Scott Baio's best friend, I think in a 
movie as well as the TV show 
Charles In Charge. And *I* liked Willie better than Scott. I never 
got into any of the guys from 
Happy Days, come to think of it.

No, I used to be subbed under my other account joannec at hwy.com.au.

Just Joanne.

Unfortunately, I think they will be closed down without warning. Just 
like what happened to me.

If they're not in adult, they have a chance of survival.

Well, if you believe in reincarnation theory, maybe you *were* a boy 
back then. Who knows?

Interesting. And, you write slash?

Yes! Sister! I agree. Can you tell that I, too, loathe Kirk? And I 
would put McCoy above 
Spock. Though my favourite is Scotty.

He's definitely aged well...my favourite of his recent movies is To 
Die For.

I can't say was. I *am*. And I will happily admit it.

Joanne.
