I used to work with a guy named Ellery Queen.
That's the second time Ellery Queen has come up in my (internet-based) life today. hilarious.
I used to live with a guy named Rutherford Hayes.
Maybe I've always been here.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My Dead Celebrity Boyfriends include Young Michael Redgrave (oh so pretty and snarky in The Lady Vanishes), Youngish Jimmy Stewart (had I been Kate Hepburn's character in Philadelphia Story, I would've ditched Cary for him in a hot second), and Young/Youngish/hell, any age at all Humphrey Bogart.
Seriously Dead Celebrity Boyfriend (really, way deader than yours, Susan): John Donne. Totally the Prince of 17th-century England.

Seriously Dead Celebrity Boyfriend (really, way deader than yours, Susan): John Donne.
Mmm, Donne. I don't have a crush on him as such, but I have been known to put his words in my characters' mouths. Typically words from "To His Mistress Going to Bed" and "The Good Morrow."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Can I have a Dead Celebrity Boy Friend? 'Cause I always wanted to be BFFs with Kit Marlowe so we could sit and snark together.

Mmm-hmmm. You come crying to me now that you fear the eating of your brains. But did you listen to me when you could have fended off the conspiracies to begin with? No, you did not. I'll let you borrow it, but only because you probably are in grave danger. Let this be a lesson to you in your lack of paranoia.

Jimmy Stewart over Cary Grant??? Wha-huh? It doesn't get any hotter than Cary Grant. That was a yummy, funny, gorgeous dude right there!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
jz--you can have Michael Redgrave in "Lady Vanishes" if I can have Robert Donat in "39 Steps."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know Gene Kelly was alive when I started my crush, but my Gene, the one I was crushing on, was doing his stuff before I was born.
My "ita, really?" crushes were politicians. Mostly Jamaican and African, although I had a girlcrush on Indira Gandhi. Oh, and Margaret Thatcher, but in my defense...well, there is none. I was 10. I did get to meet her, and she's the only one on that list I have. My sister got to meet Nelson Mandela, and that's a solid place to put a crush. I'm not ashamed of myself there.
Bolted from work in a flurry of pain and anxiety. ::sigh:: I am so bored with myself, you have no idea.
