Celebrity Crushes #1

Welcome to the first instalment of a blog series I like to call “Celebrity Crushes”. It’s pretty self explanatory really, it’s a post all about my celebrity crushes!

The first edition: Celebrity Crushes of the 90’s.
You’re going to judge me. You’re going to judge me hard.
I’m not going to apologise for any of these.

	Devon Sawyer I’m putting Devon Sawyer first, not because he was my first ever celebrity crush (I don’t actually know who was) but because he comes with a huge asterisk next to him. Devon Sawyer was definitely one of my celebrity crushes of the 90’s but for one reason and one reason only: Casper. I seriously cannot name anything else this guy was in and I only had a crush on him because of the split second that he appears in Casper and dance with Christina Ricci about 1 foot off the ground. Awesome
	Nick Carter Nick Carter was probably the first singer I had a crush on. In hindsight, it’s not the best crush to ever have, but in hindsight, he isn’t the worst either? Right? Who the hell cares, at 12 I thought he was the best thing that ever happened to music, like, ever. I don’t believe this anymore, but it was the 90’s and I was young.I told you you were going to judge me.
	Jonathan Taylor Thomas I’m not going to apologize for this one simply because I know a million other girls of the 90’s were of the same mind frame as me. Not only was I a Home Improvement fan, but this kid was in my all time favourite movie, EVER – The Lion King. Enough said. Hell, I’d still jump his bones. Wait, I didn’t want to jump his bones when I was 10. I mean. Wait. Hand on. I still have a celebrity crush on him is what I meant to say….
	Mark Paul Gosselaar A friend once yelled at me because I spend 30 minutes ignoring her. When I told her why I was ignoring her (I think we were talking online) she was livid. I believe her words were something like “YOU WERE IGNORING OUR CONVERSATION FOR A GUY FROM THE 80’S, HE’S PROBABLY 90 BY NOW!” Correction, dear friend, he wasn’t 90 by that stage. Might I add it’s now 2013 and he is damn fine these days!
	Joshua Jackson Remember when I said I couldn’t remember who my first ever celebrity crush was? I lied. THIS GUY! Enough Said. He wins.

Day Five: The Five Dinner Dates

If you could have dinner with any 5 people in the whole world, who would you choose? Why would you choose them? What would you ask them and what would you tell them? That is the challenge I’m faced with for today’s prompt.

[Day 5]: If you could have dinner with any five people, who would they be?

Yeh, small problem there. I’ve been watching Doctor who for the past hour and so, I really can’t think passed – Dr. Who. I’m trying to take this seriously, but who wouldn’t want dinner with Dr. Who?

 

Ok, so because I’m failing in my 15 day challenge and my 30 day challenge, I took some time to think of who I would have a 5 person dinner party with and what I would serve them. To be quite honest, I don’t think I want to invite any dead relatives. I noticed a fellow challenge contestants started saying in their entries that they would invite their grandparents who died before they were born or other such people, but I don’t think I would want to. I mean, sure it would be GREAT to speak to my grandmother again and there are relatives that I never got the chance to meet that I would love to get to know or ask what their stories are, but I also know how I am and I don’t think speaking to them would be so great for me. I mean I know this is all hypothetical and you can’t really invite dead people to dinner, but even in this hypothetical situation, I’d get upset at the mere sight of my grandparents, and then when dinner ended, I’d probably walk out the door with them into the big wide unknown because I wouldn’t want them taken away from me again. Do you see my conundrum? Again, I know I’m reading WAAAAY too far into the question.

If it were easy enough, I would say – I would have dinner with my Grandmother, her mother and her grandmother, just to see what stories they have and what they can share with me, I’d also get them to tell me all about the family tree just so I could help my mother out, who is struggling to put it all together. I’d also invite two of my relatives on my dad side, for similar reasons.

 

But in fun, I looked to celebrities or characters who I would love to spend an evening with, laughing over grape juice served in wine glasses and eating cheese fondue.

I would invite:

Doctor Who If you didn’t see that coming, you’re kidding yourself.
Doctor Daniel Jackson His gift would be all access pass to the star gate (because all dinner guests are expected to bring gifts)
James Joyce He’d be there to write all about the evenings events. Dubliners Style.
Claudia Donovan Otherwise it would be a bit weird, me having dinner with a bunch of guys. Needed to even the playing field.
Peter Bishop I’ve invited the guy who travels through time and space and the guy who travels throughout universes; so it was only fitting that I invite the guy who travels between parallel universes.

And if any of them couldn’t make it, I’d invite the kids from Harry Potter.

 

Also, conveniently I might add, most of these people are associated with messing around with time, time travel, collapsing universes and other such fun events so, in my wisdom, this could work out well! Not only could I ask them anything and everything I need to know about time travel, I could also prolong the entire dinner because I could just keep going back in time. I know, it breaks so many rules, but think of the fun I could have.
