Strange Love.

My boyfriend, Evan, at random-- usually quiet-- times will pose theoretical questions to me to pass the time. A lot of the time they involve celebrities, and it's usually a hard choice, like... "Dr. Cox or Dr. House?" Dr. Cox is a devious but lovable doctor from one of my favorites shows, Scrubs. Dr. House is a devious but lovable doctor from another favorite, House. They're both enormous jerks but so clever and witty that you can help but feel endeared to them and even attracted. Maybe it's that complex that many women struggle with... hoping to find the rebel that only she can change. That's how it goes in my television-doc fantasies... the untamable is tamed by me, of course.

One of Evan's other favorite questions to pose is this: Who is your weirdest crush?

My answer is always.... Conan O'Brien.




See what I mean? Not your traditional heart-thumpin' attractive. But there's something about ol' CoCo... he's genuine and very funny, and, most importantly he's very intelligent and tall.

I've thought a lot about this question for some reason, and I've come up with some other strange loves...







Again, these men are not stunning. You wouldn't walk past them on the sidewalk and do a double-take. What they have in common, though, is an incredible sense of humor. This is easily, in my humble opinion, the most attractive asset a man can have (other than height and good teeth... but they can't really help that, can they?). These are the kind of guys you could sit down and have a conversation with. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to hang out with Matt Damon or Josh Duhamel, but let's be honest... I'm going to have a hard time forming words with drool pouring out of my mouth. They're not the kind of guys I can be myself around. Steve and me, though, we could shoot the breeze... he'd tell me jokes and fall in love with my laugh (because he'd be hearing a lot of just that). Bill would try out his latest impressions on me, and I'd sweetly critique them and try out a few of my own (I do a mean Ashlee Simpson). Will and I would talk about the good times and friends we have in common (other than Steve, Conan, Andy, and Bill), like my former Swedish exchange student David... who taught Will how to ice skate for Blades of Glory. Andy would probably right a sweet parody about me, but he'd manage to make it a YouTube success along the way.

Yep, there ya have it... my weird crushes... my funny faces.

  1. You know what? I'm partial to Conan too. It's the hair.
