CONFESS!!!!!! Who did you have a crush on when you were 8 years old

[LynneSin]

Both real, imaginary, playground sweetheart and teenybopper crushes can be included!!!

Keep it clean though - we're all 8 years old in this thread!

Me, I had a crush on Davy Jones of the Monkeys and this guy in my 2nd grade class named David (can't remember last name). Unfortunately both were unrequited loves :cry:

[On the Road]

1. Mary Travers of Peter Paul and Mary

and the Irish girl next door.

[JohnKleeb]

2. You were 8 in second grade? I was 8 in like third

I dont remember who I crushed on when I was 8 but I remember who I did when I was 9, she's still awfully pretty.

[LynneSin]

4. Well if it was 3rd grade then I think it was Shaun Cassidy and a kid....

...named Barry.

[JohnKleeb]

14. Amanda

was her name if you wanna know. Danced with her at the colonial dance in fourth grade, and I recently had her in a psychology class and she was really friendly to me and stuff, ran in to her at best buy recently too.

[Beaverhausen]

3. Mickey Dolenz, then David Cassidy

and Kurt Russell.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. I had a crush on Donny Osmond

And David Cassidy. In real life, I had a crush on a guy named Brook (briefly requited, though he soon left me for Sherry). I had a crush on John throughout school, but he never thought of me as anything but a friend. SIGH.

6. Oh God....

I cannot believe that I am actually willing to admit this....... but here goes:

I was IN LOVE with Shawn Cassidy! I even had a huge poster of just his face.... I practiced so many nights kissing my pillow thinking of him! :swoon:!

[LynneSin]

10. I did all that AND I saw him in concert too

so there!

[Texasgal]

22. This is so funny!

There's a bunch of Shawn Cassidy swooners in this bunch!

And here I thought I wasn't NORMAL! HA! :)

Remember his album? He sang a guy version of "Da do run, run run"

[KittyWampus]

33. Shawn Cassidy Wasn't My Bag But He Was A Cutey. Burt Lancaster

was my heartthrob... and I grew up in the 70's.

[ET Awful]

7. Wonder Woman! :)

According to my mom, when I was 7 or 8 I used to tell everybody I loved Wonder Woman because she had sexy legs :).

[UdoKier]

[BikeWriter]

18. Lynda Carter is beautiful!

[UdoKier]

26. She really is.

It's a shame she's a republican...

[BikeWriter]

28. What? No.....

:(

[UdoKier]

30. I may be wrong, according to this fan site...

http://www.wonderland-site.com/html/news/news.htm

She marched to protest Bush administration policies on abortion.

I heard a while back she was a repub, but maybe not. Maybe she's a pro-choice "moderate"?

[BikeWriter]

34. Yippee! She campaigned for Gore!

"Lynda joins Al Gore's campaign on a caravan around Tennessee."

15. My accordian teacher.

She moonlighted as a Go-Go dancer in some club. I remember she had a picture of herself in a Go-Go cage wearing Go-Go boots pinned up in the little 6 X 6 lesson room where I would come to take my lesson. Sometimes, she would actually be wearing white Go-Go boots during the lesson itself!

I was completely smitten. I never had any problems getting motivated to go to my accordian lesson.
