I was quite the ’90s fan, even when I was young. I was also always boy-crazed. I don’t mean over the boys in my class- they were icky. No, I mean over the boys of the nineties. I always thought they were much cuter than the boys now. And let’s see who the lucky winners were:
Omri Katz, Eerie, Indiana
You can see why I'm in love, right? Length of crush: 2004-2006 Age: 8-11
My sister bought the Eerie, Indiana DVD when I was eight, and I loved it. It was the first crush I remember having. It wasn’t very serious. I just wrote his name in bubble font on the front of my math book, and that was it.
Ross Hull, Are You Afraid of the Dark:
R.G. Quimby, watch out. Length of crush: 2006-2007 Age: 11-12
This was yet another case of my sister bought the DVD for me, hoping to kindle a liking of it from me, which worked. This was a crush, for real, where I got pictures of Ross Hull of the internet, printed them, and taped them over my bed. This usually made my sister go, Awwwww, a lot.
Mike Maronna and Danny Tamberelli
Oh, boy! Length of crush(s): 2005-2008 Ages: 9-12
Guess how I learned about this one. Seriously, just guess. My first episode was Crisis in the Love Zone. I fell in love with Danny quickly, before I saw Mike. I was confused but eventually I got over both crushes, and just watched Pete and Pete with only the emotion of silliness and happiness.

Oh man. I had SUCH a crush on Gary. And, actually, on Marshall from Eerie.

Oh, Gar-Bear. How I loved him.
Ditto for Marshall Teller. As a kid, I always thought he was so “street” because he was from Chicago. Hee.
