Real life: My friend Aiden. It was 1984. The crush came to a boil on 30 Decemeber. I had just turned thirteen on Boxing Day and was spending the night at his house. He had suspected that I was attracted to him and admitted that he felt the same way. We snuggled and talked the whole night (we did nothing more than snuggle). I was on top of the world. Then, the very next evening, New Year's, a tragedy struck that drove us apart forever. This whole thing actually makes up the first part of Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days.
Movie/Celebrity: I'd have to say Chris Reeves as Superman. I was just figuring out that I was into dudes and he filled out his super suit quite nicely.
Comic/Cartoon: Would probably be a tie between Lion-o from the Thundercats and He-Man. Archie Andrews would have been on the list as well.
Music/Band: The 1980's were a glorious time to be a young gay kid when it came to music. The tight jeans, spandex pants, leather & studs, big hair... it was a veritable dog's breakfast of visual stimulation, and best of all, the music videos were usually polluted with hot chicks as well so I didn't even have to pretend to not find the videos hot. I only had to pretend the reasons I found them hot.
