Seizure Worthy April 7, 2008
Posted by brandy in and now you might know everything, confession of the day, happiness, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i said that, i love fragment sentences, i wish i was water, it makes sense to me, it's a good thing, love or something like it, men, oh dear, people i like, question of the day, secrets, when i say it anyway.trackback
Brad Pitt.
Two words that send many of my generation into fits of delight so spastic I’m often convinced an epileptic seizure is taking place. Me? Not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I get the Pitt passion, but do I feel that my Earth moves when I see him in a movie? Do I day dream about him and me frolicking on sandy shores whispering fevered murmurs of passion into each others ear? Does time change when I witness his face? Not at all. I think he’s made some brilliant movies and if he stopped dressing in clothes that remind me of my grandfathers couch, I would like him even more- but I will never love him.
My heart belongs to another.
Of course, this is where I should point out that loving a celebrity with your entire heart is both dangerous and foolhardy. Such unrequited passion can only lead to heartbreak (and in the rare case, a restraining order), but through the years I’ve learned that everyone, EVERYONE has that one person that for reasons that they can’t explain (or refuse to unless court ordered) just, adores.
Here’s mine:
Are you taking in that tall drink of water?
I’m not sure why, but David Duchovny is my A+, my home run, my acceptance letter, my winning lottery ticket. I actually blush when I see him in a movie because I just feel so…. flustered. As though I’m considering asking him to go steady with me. Which is ridiculous because you know, he’s older than me. And he’s married. And has kids. And oh yeah, WE’VE NEVER MET.
In fact, I know that my love for David is serious because when I imagine being in the same room as him, I always imagine me having to leave quickly through the nearest exit without speaking to him. Which is what I do anytime I really, truly enjoy someone- run as far away from them as possible as though the man has a fatal and contagious disease. Because I MAKE ALL SORTS OF SENSE.
Who is your drink of water?
I wonder how KC is going to feel about this online offering of yours.
Yeah I”m the same with Brad. He’s hot but he doesn’t get me going. I love Leo (we’re on a first name basis). But David is a hottie. I loved the episode where he was Carrie’s boyfriend … even though he wound up in a loonie bin. Still hot.
i’m all about jake gyllenhall..
egan- You know, I almost put in a Kevin shout-out at the end but wondered how much the blogging world could take with all my inappropriate loves…
EM- Exactly. I mean, who else could play crazy that charming?
k- I get the Jake. In fact, I get the Jake a lot… but David? DAVID? When I see him I just feel closer to heaven. Wait, was that too much?
Well, we all know about my JKras obsession. And he’s pretty dang up there, not to mention all the recent press he’s gotten what with the new movie and The Office coming back! and he gives very good interview.
Anyhoo!
I’ve always had this very deep, undying love for James Franco. Le fetching sigh.
Gretch-a-sketch- Ohhh John. He’s a keeper isn’t he? Although I have to say, I saw “Leatherheads” on the weekend and was torn between who should get my love- him or George. Now I know how my mom feels when I ask her if she loves me or my brother more. Sometimes it’s impossible to pick a favourite. But John really does well in the movie. I was nervous for him but his part was perfect for him.
Oh, Ed Norton. Bless his heart.
Do you watch Californication? You HAVE TO. You’ll love him infinitely more (although I’m thinking, maybe, that’s not possible)…
So many, many choices. But I’ll pull a geek reference: Claudia Black from Farscape. Hotttt, perfectly capable of kicking ass, and ravishing in a simple black tank-top.
I’m a trifle depressed that I’ve never caused a woman to run out of the room flustered, though. Damn.
Jake Gyllenhaal. For serious.
Although, after watching Season 3 The Office DVD last night, I like me some Jim. Not even the actor. Just the character. *swoon*
Have you heard the song “Why Don’t You Love Me, David Duchovny?”
I am pretty sure that Matthew McConaughey is perfect!!
YUMMMMMY!
I don’t really have any famous people that I crush on…I definitely don’t crush on Brad Pitt though. He has never done it for me!
I am with `Are you willing to change` I have never really had famous people that I crush on i do like me a bit of George Clooney though even though he is old enough to be my dad. I am a bit of fan of a Japanese actor also Satoshi Tsumabuki!
I actually can`t stand brad pitt, or tom cruise either….I look at them and think `EUGHH`…
I am so glad that I am not the only one who doesn’t fall to pieces over Brad Pitt. He is a handsome man, but not that handsome.
I’m sure that when David learns of your adoration, he will beat a path to your door! As it should be, of course!
I am totally in love with Matthew McConaughey. And Matt Damon. Yum.
Oh this list is entirely too long. But I’ll agree about Brad Pitt. He just doesn’t do it for me.
Kyle Chandler and Josh Jackson are probably my two most swoon-worthy guys.
I’m so with everyone on the whole Brad Pitt thing, he’s cute - but not swoon worthy. As for Duchovny, pretty hot. For me it’s always been Jon Bon Jovi, since I was a wee little lad. Love him to pieces. As of late, have been digging Ryan Phillippe and yeah Jake Gyllenhaal is pretty cute. Wait, is that a conflict of interest?
Your tag “i wish i was water” pretty much made me snort-laugh like mad.
As for my drink of water…I go in phases. Right now I’m all about Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond from Lost).
I’ve never really “gotten” all the Brad Pitt love. Except maybe in Meet Joe Black, when he was all nice and clean-shaven. Usually he looks like he needs a bath.
I can’t even say that I have my one go-to celebrity crush, because really I’m so fickle. Like right now it’s Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies (talk about a tall drink of water) but this post and the comments remind me of other guys I could get moony-eyed about, like Desmond from Lost. Not the actor, necessarily, just the character.
But Lee Pace? MMMM HMMMM.
I get all sorts of crap for this because seriously, this guy shouldn’t really be anyones fantasy guy, but Jim Belushi. And Judd Nelson (except after this one made for tv movie he had that he was some sort of psycho killer guy that made a garden of dead girls in a lake I sort of got over him a little bit). I can’t explain my connection with the two of them, but they both make me feel so happy.
One word. CALIFORNICATION.
Right now I am crushing on two celebs (it changes weekly).
The first is Craig Bierko (he plays Gator on Unhitched) and the second is Jason Segel (probably because I know when Forgetting Sarah Marshall opens I will be able to see his PENIS).
Tea Leone has nothing on you. What kind of a retarded name is that. I just realized it is spelled T-E-A. Dipshit.
My drink of water is most certainly Johnny Depp and Sawyer on LOST. Must. do. dirty. things. to. them.
Ooh, Duchovny in Californication.
I love me some Patrick Dempsey, and lately, Henry Cavill from The Tudors. Oh, and Matt Damon. That’s the short list.
I sometimes see a picture of Brad Pitt and think he is hot. Once in a great while he’ll cause a little flutter, but that’s very, very rare.
Hmm.. David’s a hottie.
And mine? His name is Brian. But … he’s not super famous or anything - just the dude that seems to have my heart.
Oy.
OH. DEEP. BREATH. DEEEEP. BREATHS.
Okay, now that I’m back. Mr. Duchovny? I love you. I’M SORRY. I heard him on a commercial once, and freaked out. Literally. Weird, huh?
I totally agree with you. I think it was X-Files that did me in. The 8ish seasons I spent watching his sexually deprived gorgeous self get involved in some serious stuff, and still handle it with a calm, hot face? Yeah.
Mine is Alan Rickman. And no, I can’t explain it.
I do not get the Brad thing either– I often wonder what the deal is with the clothes, as well. And I’d never looked at David that way before…hmmm.
But I’m a John Cusack girl. I just can’t help it.
We got the first 3 seasons of the X-Files, and yeah, I got a David crush. But that’s ok, because Matthew got a (still has a huge) Gillian crush.
Biggest one? Probably still Christian Bale.
Used to be Heath, but oddly enough, Matthew looks just like him.
Tom Brady. I was was all in love with him pre-major Super Bowl wins. And pre-leaving his pregnant girlfriend for a super model. I also blush when I see him and my heart quickens. Love.
Hmmm, I’d have to say Ryan Gosling
Mmmmm…. David Duchovny *is* hot…
Mine seems to change every five years or so. The first was Christian Slater, followed by Antonio Banderas (who I still would not kick out of bed), then Heath Ledger (RIP), then Ryan Gosling, and now James MacAvoy.
Oooh, I got a little tingly just typing the name. Mmmm….
I know I’m strange, but I don’t get that way about any celebrity. Now if I had to guess one that would make me feel that way, it would be Gerard Butler and Jeffery Dean Morgan. In person? Total shivers. Mmm.
joshua jackson.
you can laugh now
George Clooney & Patrick Dempsey. Rowr………
Never got the Brad Pitt thing either.
Jess, I have a friend who is also totally into Alan Rickman. Made me look at him differently and now I do get the sexy vibe from him too, though it’s not the same as GC & PD
agreed on brad. and im not an angelina fan either, just fyi.
hmm… ill go with matt damon for now. but, it changes often.
Christian Bale. Throw in the Batsuit and I start to feel really funny where my bathing suit covers…
oh my. James McAvoy. *drool*
but that freaking giddy daydreaming… it’s all about my rl crush Indie who i drone on and on about online. *le sigh* I so need to get over him.
Bryan Adams. “Everything I do… I do it for you!”
Dead: Cary Grant
Alive: Colin Firth
p.s. a couple of weekends ago? your love and I were in line together at my corner store - such skin should really have poems written about it
I agree with you about Brad. I thought he was way sexier back in his Jennifer A. days. DUMBASS.
But anyhoooo…
My tall drink of dirty water is Peter Krause (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0470244/) of ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Dirty Sexy Money’ fame. When I see him and he starts getting all bad ass and lippy like he ALWAYS does, my heart beats really fast and I barely catch my breath. *SWOON*
I never got the Brad Pitt thing…mainly because I’ve driven through the town he was born in and it kinda ruins the whole image.
My long time crush is Eddie Vedder. Me loves the grunge days.
Lately, it’s Joaquin Phoenix for me.
Currently it’s been James McAvoy for me. We’re married, but I haven’t told him yet. Or his wife.
oh lord there are so many of them! here’s the short list.
russell crowe
gerald butler
mark ruffalo
jason bateman
Robert Buckley…He’s a new found crush after I started watching Lipstick jungle…seeing him on the screen makes me grin like an idiot for the entire 50 minutes until I realize what I’m doing! Its inexplicable this love that we share…
Oh and mcdreamy.
Daniel Craig rings my bell like no other bell ringer before him.
Especially in those boy shorts.
Crikey.
Matt Damon. Although all I hear then is the dumb way they say it in Team America.
All i can say is F*ck yeah!
ooh jamie bamber, but then im a sci-fi geekette. i like a bit of jared leto as well…
So here are my loves…..
MMMmmmm mmmmmm…. LOL
Ben Affleck is numero uno….
Then Vin Diesel…. yummy….
And third would be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
A few episodes into The Office I knew my heart would never pitter-patter for another like it does for John Krasinski. Mrowr!
Sizzle, my wife loves Joaquin Phoenix too. Her new recent crush is the Irish bloke in Atonement, James McAvoy.
ummmm…. are you me? because i have been in love with david duchovny since my pathetic 12-year-old self first laid eyes on him on the x-files. i was obsessed. and nobody else understands!
I don’t really have one, but I do go for those sweet brooding types…
Nice. Gillian Anderson is definitely high on my list.
You do know they’re making another X-Files movie, right (with him in it)?
Someone above mentioned Christian Bale. Oh lordy, lordy, lordy. How on earth did I forget about him?? Desmond pales in comparison to Christian (we’re on a first name basis, Christian and I…have been ever since Newsies). HE is definitely, 100% without a doubt, my drink of water. Now if you will excuse me, I need to figure out a way to plan out a dream sequence for tonight.
Have you heard the song, “David Duchovny, Why Don’t You Love Me”? By Bree Sharp. Google it :).
My crushes leap around. Joaquin Phoenix is a mainstay since way back in the Parenthood Days. I could listen to George Clooney read the phone book. As to crushes that make no sense whatsoever? Tim Robbins.
Tina Fey and Jenna Fischer. I seriously watch 30 Rock with this dumb grin on my face…
So….do you like him more than Josh on WW? I think about you every time I go to a Starbucks near my house b/c one of the baristas looks just like him.
we drink from the same well, obviously, because i think the d man is HOT.
cool blog, looking forward to reading more
Johnny Depp! So talented and sexy and quirky and HOT.
Oh and another one for Christian Bale! But I loved him in American Psycho - so buff - so NEKKID!
I love the cerebral man.
That is so strange…. I’ve never had a thing for Brad Pitt either… However by some bizarre coincidence David is my cup of tea!! Wonder what that means
oh! One of my favorite topics. My tall drink of water is- Jake Gyllenhaal (or however the hell you spell his name.) And John Mayer, who sadly- seems a bit douchey.
John Cusack.. and Alan Rickman - thinking woman’s bit of crumpet..!
Spencer Pratt…LOL!
Dylan McDermott
omg…i feel like i have alot of them!
christian bale by far
david duchovny <3
johnny depp
heath ledger
james franco
and young marlon brando
all amazing…and if H ever made a list this long with females i would not be happy. lol. j/k
lol
all of my men have already been listed here 
Johnny Depp - loved him before I ever laid eyes on him.
John Cusack - he’s my cute one
Dylan McDermott -
Christian Bale - he totally owned me after I watched “Equilibrium”. And I watched it many times…How sexy can a man get???
Gerard Butler - I really don’t understand how could Christine opt for that other guy in “The Phantom of the Opera”. I weeped.
[Fab blog, by the way. Luv it
]
Matt Damon. Yummy!
And Joel McHale from “The Soup.” I see him in my dreams sometimes…
Taye Diggs, hands down.
Christian Bale. Yum.
Dude, he’s mine too. I’m loving my current old X-File re-runs because I get to drool over his pretty hair! I think you should come over and watch it with me.
Other one is Nicolas Cage. Don’t even ask!
What happened to Ryan Gosling?
I saw a Ryan Gosling look-alike in my library the other day…he wanted me to answer his questions about something I can’t remember. I just wanted him to leave, because all I wanted to do was stare at him in all of his attractive glory. Bad. Very bad.
[...] for no other reason that I love him with every ounce of my soul, every hair on my head, with every taste bud on my tongue, the one and [...]
