Young Love

I was inspired by Anna last night to reach back into the annals of my life to my first celebrity crushes. Who were those guys? But of course just remembering them wasn't enough. I had to find out what they were up to now and gauge my elementary school taste levels.

In order of least plans made about marriage to most, with crush staying power ranked on a scale from 1-10:

Nick Carter
then he was the hunkiest member of the best boy band of the '90s. That hair, that smirk, those eyes.

now he has a solo career and he's still got that hair.

Staying Power: 2 (I have to tell you, Nick, I think I'm over you.)

Brink! (also known as Erik von Detten)

then he was the totally dreamy soul-skater out to skate better and save his family

now he has continued his role as Sid in Toy Story Three and beyond that I have no idea

Staying Power: 1 (it just wasn't meant to be, Erik)

Devon Sawa

then he was Junior, the stud quarterback for the Little Giants

 

now he's on the tv show Nikita

 

 Staying Power: 2 (it's not you, Devon, it's me)

Charlie Conway

then he was the swoon-worthy captain of the Mighty Ducks

now he's Joshua Jackson, the swoon-worthy guy on Fringe, plus a little stint as Pacey on Dawson's Creek

















Staying Power: 10 (Charlie, I would have married you then and I would still marry you now.)
