Woo! I held JTC's hand! Before you disapprove, it was all just tout en amis. It was during opera, and he was sitting in the armchair in the hall. I was sitting on the bench, and he was dressed in his ducal outfit from Gondoliers. I started quoting my favourite lines from Gondo at him: "That man is a *Duke*, and I will love him." (At this point I take hold of his hand.) "Several of my relations bet me I couldn't, but I did - desperately..." (At this point, the bench tips over.) "...all while upsetting the balance of the bench." Well it made me giggle - and he's got lovely hands - string player hands - he plays the viola, you see. His more lithe and graceful brother plays 'cello, but I have to admit I've got a soft spot for violists.
Now onto my other patheticrush, who is too young, way too young, for me to be crushing on. I'll tell you who he is, and how old he is, later.

Found out! T stands for Thomas - I was right! Joshua Thomas Ch., he is. And his brother is Jarrod Kenneth Ch. Such regal names... Anyway just wanted to tell y'all I was right :-)

It's ok. It's all ok. I think he's gay, and I shoulda guessed, cos I liked him in the first place. (I heard him say he's never going to marry, which at the age of twenty is a *big* hint.) He's gorgeous, at least I think so. I still catch my breath when I look at him, even moreso than when I look at his brother (who is also a dish, but in a different way). Please don't think I'm being bitter. I'm not, I'm glad he likes me as he does, and indulges my slughuttish tendencies. You'll see him when the pictures of opera go up, of which there will be many. Note: must ask him what his middle name is. Starts with a T. Todd or Thomas...? Or Timothy. I actually like the name Thomas.

Help me, o sisters. i'm suffering a bad crush. Give me draughts and medicines for this ailment.
