Argh, mine all are pretty high-up there. I didn't have many celebrity 
crushes at all compared to the general population of girls I knew. 
Mine were mostly on baseball players. I seem to remember Jim 
Walewander (a utility infielder for the Detroit Tigers, 1988) and 
Kevin Tapani (pitcher, has played for a few teams, notably the Twins) 
as standouts on that list. I actually met Tapani at an autograph 
signing and shook his hand. I had the signed card framed and placed 
on my bookshelf...

Who mentioned NKOTB? I remember that too, from my latter days of 
elementary school and junior high. I didn't see anything special 
about them. Same thing goes for Chuck Knoblauch, the other girl 
favorite from my junior high days...yes, it did seem like the whole 
school had a baseball fixation.

Most of my crushes were on classmates. I remember when I was 8 or 9 
watching a boy I liked play soccer during recess, and admiring his 
play.

'Course, on the Lockhart scale of teacher crushes, I scored a 10.0 in 
my equivalent of second year (7th grade) by having a crush on a guy 
who could have been the behavioral model for Snape. I suppose I was 
the cross between Hermione and Draco there--suck-up geek that I was. 
Asking him to dance at the leaving dance was probably a mistake, 
though. *blushes and runs from ML*
