Happy Birthday to Chris O’Donnell!

Mr. O’Donnell played an extremely important part of my sexual development.  He was my first all-consuming, all incompassing crush. I was thirteen.  I was a late developer.  At the time, I thought boys were nice in theory, but in practice I wasn’t entirely sure.  I had never kissed anyone. I had never even come close to kissing anyone, and I wasn’t entirely sure that I wanted to.  Then I saw Chris O’Donnell in feature in YM Magazine and something inside me went, “oh”.

I wanted to kiss him tons.  I wanted him to kiss me.  Suddenly things like sex, which being a late-developer I had never considered before, seemed like it would be nice if it was with Chris.

My fantasy life became totally consumed with Chris O’Donnell.  In my head we were married and had two kids.  Alas, it wasn’t to beforever.  By the time I was fifteen I had moved on.  There were real boys and real kisses, and Chris O’Donnell started to look safe and boring.  There were other, more exciting celebrities to have crushes on.  But occasionally, I like to think back and remember him fondly.  So, happy birthday, Chris and many happy returns!
