I was rewatching High Fidelity today, and it made me want to make a top five list. It also reminded me of the huge boner I had for Say Anything era John Cusak when I was a kid. Thus, top five childhood crushes:
1. John Cusak

I don't really remember anything about this movie, since I haven't seen it since I was a kid, other than it made me desperately want to marry Lloyd Dobler.
2. Big Pete

Little Pete was cute and my age, but there was just something about his constantly pining and whining older brother that I found much more endearing.
3. Atreyu

I feel like a total creep looking at this picture and writing this at my age now, but I just remember being wildly fascinated by Atreyu's perpetually open shirt as a child.
4. Desi Arnaz

To this day, my ideal boyfriend would be a hot Cuban with a pompadour because of this man and Nick at Nite. Can we please lift the embargo and import some of these??
5. Donatello

He was a cartoon. He was a mutant. He was a turtle. He was a cartoon mutant turtle, and I wanted him to be my boyfriend from ages 5 to 6.
