Past crushes besides your Waifu?

[Ice Cream]

When Jurassic Park came out, I had a huge crush on Lex because there really weren't many women that were into Computer Science like i was. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to get into computers as much as I could, and decades later I still am in the industry.

I was young at the time and I was devastated when I learned that the actress that plays Lex really doesn't know computers at all. She doesn't really know her way around an SGI System V terminal. The actress just plays a fictional character in the movie and she isn't a real Computer Scientist. I was pretty sad for that.



My second major crush was Gabriel from Xena: Warrior Princess. In retrospect the main reasons I liked her was because she was so moe. Moe as in the Japanese term Moe. A woman in need of protecdtion. In the later seasons of the show she cut her hair short and became this strong fighter that could hold her own. I lost all interest in her at that point.



In retrospect I've been a big fan of moe even before I really understood what moe was. That was long before I started watching anime. Also, long before I knew there was a Japanese term for it.
