Stolen from dragonwhishes

List five fictional people -- from television, movies, books, whatever -- that you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then post this on your LiveJournal so other people can be assured that you're as weird as they thought.

Hrm. I wasn't much good at crushes at that age- it was heavily intermingled with a streak of 'I wanna be THAT when I grow up!', so I didn't recognise it as crushes at the time. To the best of my knowledge, though:

1. Indiana Jones
2. Dr. Leonard "Bones" Mccoy
3. Han Solo / Dr. Peter Venkman, cartoon version (tie- and considering how much of a Han Solo fan I was at the time, this is saying a lot)
4. MacGyver
5. Ferris Bueller

You had a crush on Indy, too! Sweet!

I used to pull branches off the weeping willow tree in my grandmother's backyard and try to use them like whips. God, I wanted an Indyhat. Never could convince my parents to get me one, though.

I totally forgot about Luke Skywalker/Han Solo on my list. Dur. Classic late childhood/early teen crushes. When I was in the 8th grade my best friend and I saw empire strikes back 11 times. In the theatre.

Heh, I tried doing this on tronella's LJ last night and I couldn't come up with five, but now that you mention Han Solo he could probably go in that fifth space. Though I think I was much more along the "I want to BE that."

Am out of time for this morning, though, no more posting for me. Just as well, as I seem to be ridiculously chatty today. I desperately want to make a big post about the firehouse pic, but I haven't got it uploaded to the server, yet! And then one of my friends called last night to say she's pregnant, but I haven't got the go-ahead to squee publicly about that, so, *chomps her tongue*.

All of these are very definitely the 'I want to BE that', I admit. It's just that the intensity of the sentiment was equal to a standard crush. I think Ferris is really the only recognizable crush on the list; the others were all want-to-be for me. I got started on crushes and romance foo really late.
