Weird crush confession time
I think it is time for me to come clean about my "weird" crush. I am lusting in my heart (although I am not sure that is exactly where the feeling is located) after James May. I have no idea why exactly except that I find him incredibly sexy, even though, like most (all?) of us he is older and grayer than when I first started watching those shows. He is very smart and kind of weird. I have always been drawn to people who are like that. All of my relationships have been with people who are different in one way or another, including the one I am in now. I am also strangely jealous of his SO. It should be me, damnit. Yes it is disturbing.
Anyway, make fun of me if you like but I would never say no to him if for some reason we were somehow to meet. I am not proud of that but there it is. I am slightly obsessed; it bothers me somewhat when I most certainly do have an actual life, not just a fantasy life in my head. I joined Twitter just so I could follow him and Clarkson because their exchanges are hilarious. Now I am obsessed with Twitter but for other reasons. I want people to follow me, though I have nothing particular funny or interesting to say.
My boyfriend and I joke about his "pretend wives". Yes, MULTIPLE pretend wives/girlfriends. So I can have at least one pretend boyfriend I think. Well I wouldn't say no to George Clooney either, come to think of it.
So does anybody else have any weird crushes? And by weird, I mean slightly out of the mainstream. Not like George Clooney or Brad Pitt, who are pretty obvious, conventional choices (not that there is anything wrong with that!) but like, say, Steve Buscemi. I can't think of a female equivalent right now.

Here's a nice shot for you!
Loved him in Captives (great movie) and of course, Pulp Fiction.

was Darryl Sheets.
Then they did a show where they're all just sitting around talking and he wasn't the big jerk he portrays on the show and I decided he's sort of OK.
Dave Hester...I sort of liked him but yeah, he's cocky.
I found out something about Barry the other day that makes me like him even more...any of the storage rooms he gets, if there are any furs in them, he does not sell them. No profit from the sale of animal fur. He just donates them to someone. 
Because I'm right there with you. I've been crazy about the guy for years. Sure, he might not look like a type we're "supposed to" lust after (but for the life of me I do NOT get the attraction of Ryan Gosling, so maybe I'm just weird), but then again, what's not to love?
He's congenial, polite, modest, funny, sincere, self-deprecating, and effing brilliant. Plus he often expresses pure joy in his work, loves to play, and enjoys a good laugh (and a good beer or cup of tea). On top of THAT he's an amazing writer and thinker (always a talent that gets me to sit up and take notice)...and my sig is a great example of that. On the other hand, sometimes he can be a bit petulant...which I also find endearing!
Anyway, I'm willing to overlook the beer belly, bad clothes (oh how I love his bad clothes!), and flyaway hair when he's got all that going for him.
I love his tweets, too--they never fail to crack me up. Clarkson's too. And when they tweet to each other, well, it's a Very Good Day.
I like Oz, too, but yeah, all that rolling the wine around to detect the "notes" and stuff is a bit much. I loved it when James said, "When do you get to drink it?" 
I understand your James obsession--I'm the same way. When I saw a bottle of Ravenswood Zinfandel in front of him in one part of the California trip, I practically burst, I was so excited because that's one I drink. A connection! A connection! We'll drink it together one day, I know it!

Those are just off the top of my head.
Don't ask me why.
Since I'm heterosexual, I'll add Laurie Metcalf.
even though I'm sure I'd just completely hate her if we met.
My love for Amanda Palmer is perhaps a bit less weird, but my fiance contends she is ugly and sings like she's deaf. I still think she's awesome and Neil Gaiman is a bastard for having stolen her away.

Selena Gomez, Emma Watson, Freida Pinto, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, Penelope Cruz...
There are some I guess most men would not (immediately) think about, but I don't think there's anything weird about them:
Maryam Hassouni
Lisa Wade
YouTube-personality Natalie Tran
Summer Bishil
