It's hard to tell which came first, but I remember being in Junior kindergarten (cause school was half days as opposed to Senior kindergarten) and my father leaving me with a babysitter who was a teenaged girl our family knew well from across the street. My grandmother usually took care of me, but she was out. Anyways, I remember being really nervous about being babysat by this girl, cause I had a crush on her and didn't want it to show. I was about 4 or 5 at the time.
There was also this girl in the schoolyard in grade 2 (I guess I was 6 or 7) who's name I never knew because I never slowed down enough for her to catch me, lol. There was this game all the girls at school used to play where they would chase the boys, haul them to the ground and kiss them, at which point the boys would die of embarrassment and "coodies." Anyways, this girl would always chase me every day at recess and she was definitely one of my first crushes. I sometimes wonder what happened to her.
And of course random tv characters. Somewhere around the same time (5) I had a crush on the character who played Susan in the BBC version of
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I also remember wanting to alternatively be Edmund and Peter...so in retrospect that's a little odd since Susan was their sister

Anyways, I also remember crushing on Felicity from
Road to Avonlea (fellow Canadians, I hear you mocking me! But you will never shame me into not liking that show! lol)...though I still totally crush on Sarah Polley (Sarah Stanley in the show)
I guess you can call it a life-long thing, lol. I was a little kid, she was a little kid. She's grown up, I'm grown up. And she's still hot as hell
