Don't ask me why, but for some reason, my first crush on someone other than a celebrity popped into my head tonight, and the memory made me smile.
I was 16 and worked at the San Clemente Library during the summer, along w/ my dad's girlfriend's daughter who was around my age. This guy who had to perform community service for a month on a drunk driving charge had started working there, and was he ever hot! His name was Richard Grant and at the time he was 24 years old. He was always nice to us girls there for summer help. Once he left his library card at work, so I went to his house to return it. (He lived nearby) I didn't expect anything to happen, but I just had to go. He was surprised, and knew I was crushing big time for him, but he was no dummy, I was just a kid. Anyway, us girls threw him a party on his last day of work, and even gave him a desk plaque (my idea) that said "Richard L. Grant, Attorney At Law" ,b/c he said he wanted to be a lawyer someday. I saw him again 4 years later...w/ a slight beer gut, stubble and getting donuts on his way to a construction job....oh well.
Anyway...did YOU ever have a crush on someone older who wasn't famous? Did they know you liked them? Did you ever see them again after your youth?
Do tell!
