Princess Eloise's Castle: 2010

You know what I'm talking about.

It's that feeling you get watching a cartoon character as you start thinking how good looking they are. In defense of the feeling, they do look like real people. But when you're a kid you don't think about how weird it is: to you it just is. When you get older, you think, "Wait . . . I had crushes on cartoons. How weird is that?" Then you see another good-looking cartoon character and go like, "Okay, I get it now." Then you accept it as something weird that happens that you don't really have to be afraid of because the worst thing that can happen is that a strange obsessions. It's not a real crush that can develop into something more. It's more of an attraction to an ideal character who would be attractive in real life.

So here's a list of my cartoon crushes, old and new.

Andy in Toy Story 3

Darien from Sailor Moon

Classic Aquaman

Fred from Scooby-Doo

Classic Batman (who was in two episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies!)

Classic Greenlantern (The other day I saw a man with a Greenlanter shirt and I said, "Greenlantern! Nice!" I think knowing that a guy admires your cartoon crush makes him more interesting.)
