My longest serving crush, the one that is as secure and valid today as it was in the beginning, is Jewel. Jewel she will save my soul. She was and is my age, and I didn't really even think about it until just now, while writing this, but that beginning was 15 years ago. I was barely out of my teens. And back then, there was that something about her, maybe the slightly imperfect teeth, the round face, the innocent shy smiles, the alaska upbringing (which Prince Rupert relates to so much, more so than any other town outside of Alaska), and even the championship level yodeling, but she had me at the moment she looked up from her guitar and smiled. My old roommate Jessica B. thought this crush was amusing, even in 1998, when it had been 2 years since she had a hit. Hell, she hasn't been on the radar since then, either. But still, even now, when she appears those rare times and media stumbles upon her, I still surprisingly lose my train of thought, and suddenly cant feel my toes.
