Kristen, prompted

Your first crush

I wasn’t a particularly crush-heavy teenager.

I didn’t have posters on my walls, I didn’t join fan clubs, and I definitely did not have any t-shirts with boys on them.

But I do remember that when I saw Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken, I thought that the actor who played Al (Michael Schoeffling) was seriously good looking.

I had no idea even what his name was at the time, and it wasn’t until Mr. FG and I watched 16 Candles (a much more famous movie!) as a newly married couple that I even saw him on the screen again.

I think my only other teenage movie crush (along with about a million other girls) was Mr. Darcy from the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.

So, one slightly obscure crush, and one very, very typical crush.

Who was your first crush?

    Oddly, a little boy named Lane in my kindergarten class. Yes, kindergarten. I say odd because that seems weirdly early to me now, and I never actually had a boyfriend until, um, my eventual husband when I was in my twenties. I guess I got through that phase early.

    At first glance, I thought the pic was Mr FG.

      You know, I was thinking that there are definitely some looks similarities between him and my first crush. Apparently, I have a type! 🙂

        I immediately thought the same thing. Very handsome! You have good taste.

    I can only admit this because no one will see my last name or email and be able to identify me: Henry Kissinger. I cannot explain it and, luckily, I did not marry anyone who resembled him in looks or behavior.

    How about my last crush? It’s my hubby! It’s been 44 years, and I’m still crazy about that guy! Ahem…I kinda like Richard Gere too!!

    Mr. Darcy forever!! I think I liked a little boy in kindergarten — he wore a plaid vest! — but probably because my friend, Lynn Rose, liked him and he chose her for square-dancing.

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
