First Crush

[ithildin]

Before there was Methos, there was Adam. No, not that one [g] The first TV crush I recall having was when I was about five, and the object of my affection was Adam Cartwright on Bonanza. Always being different, I didn't like Little Joe at all, even though he was the show heart throb.











And he was the first in a long lone of 'Adams' that I've been fond of. Adam Dalgliesh and Sir Adam Sinclair, and of course, Adam Pierson!

I wonder if there's any Bonanza/Highlander fic out there?

When I was five, the Cartwright brother who made the biggest impact on me was Hoss. Don't laugh. See, back then I had a speech impediment ... of sorts. (Now I recognize it as a Gaelic accent but I have absolutely NO idea why a child born in Maine and raised in New Hampshire would have a Gaelic accent) - and I couldn't say the word hospital. It came out more like ospadal (and I think the accent was on the wrong syllable too). My siblings laughed at me, so I practiced saying it by remembering Hoss Cartwright's name. (Hoss-pee-til).

I still have a tendresse for the gentle giant sort of male. The only times I saw 21 Jump Street, it was Peter DeLuise's character that drew me - and I felt the same when he joined seaQuest second season - even though it meant the end of his lovely hair.

OTOH, big, beefy jock-types turn me right off.

oh, and btw, my first crush was Robin of the old campy Batman series. But I didn't want to date him, I wanted to be LIKE him.

Oh, I loved Hoss! He was the one I wanted to be my big brother :) He was probably my favourite overall character.
