Don't get me wrong. I know that the chances of even just meeting Elijah in a 'can I have your autograph and I really think you're awesome in ::insert a future movie::' way, are very small. And even if I would meet him, I would leave exactly the same impression on him as I did the one time I did get to meet him: none at all (I'm not being cynical about this, just being realistic) and most of the time (let's say 99,9% of the time, ok?) I'm completely content with that. I love watching him in his movies, watching pictures, reading about him, about what little of his private life, of himself, that we get to see, about his work. He makes my heart go pitter patter Every Single Time. The way he looks, the way he sounds, serious, giddy, amused, subdued, openhearted or reserved.

But every now and then it hits me: I'll never have him.

It's completely outrageous to even think something like that. Of course I'll never have him!

But damn, every so often, for a moment. Ouch.

It doesn't even hurt in a funny, haha, silly me, way.

Just remember that I really completely realize there's no way, not ever... I'm not stupid you know. And usually it's not an issue. Just twice a year. For a short while.

Nope, I'll never have him

i think the best way to approach these things is by realizing (and we all KNOW this, but wanting to realize it is an entirely different thing) that they're just people, and no better than the bloke sitting next to you at the pub. sure, they may *seem* like the best thing you've ever seen, but what we get is the best of at all times. we get the charming and the funny and the sexy and the adorable, without any of the drawbacks of "real" people.

so ultimately, a celebrity crush is just that: you never get to know the real person, and WERE you to, there's as big a chance of a relationship failing as with any other guy. the difference is that the letdown would probably be so much worse, when you realize people aren't all they're jacked up to be. and you'll be kicking yourself for a long time for falling for it.

(not saying now that they might not be great people, but i can guarantee they're definetly not the greatest you'll ever encounter)

that said, what i'm REALLY here for was to ask you: what do you think of Dropkick?? :D

Elijah a let down in RL? Nah, he's perfect.

About the other thing: I love 'm! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dutch_eowyn/218504.html?thread=1932936#t1932936) Can't wait to see them live :D

Exactly. :) And the frightening thought is: if I were to get to know him for real, and I discovered aspects of him that were less pleasant, it would probably make me love him even more, because it would prove he's a real person, like everyone else. Does that make sense??
