Another completely retarded thread about Nathan Fillion (inspired by a dream I had last night)

In the dream, I was part of some group (semi-social, semi-something else I don't understand) which led me to be in regular contact with Nathan, who was apparently only well known to some of us. I wasn't the only one crushing on him, either. There was another woman there with clear designs on him (FutureMrs.Fillion??FollowMal?? J/K) and he seemed more than a little embarassed about the attention. I tried to appear less obvious, and he ended up talking more to me than her, without understanding (I assume) that I liked him, too.
The whole thing was completely high school/soap opera-y, and kinda dull but what the hell. Any dream in which Nathan appears is fine by me 
.
Anyway, don't have the faintest where it came from, but I was thinking about it again (and again) this morning while looking at Whedonesque, which incidentally had a link to a mini-interview with Nathan, which only led to more goosebumps.
It's hard to explain, but I am really weirded out by this crushing business. See, I used to watch One Life to Live at the time Nathan was on. I thought he was cute, and by far my favorite actor in that role, but never thought much about him beyond that. I did however have serious doubts about accepting "Joey Buchanan" as the lead in a sci-fi western, even though it was created by the object of my undying worship, Joss Whedon. Since FIREFLY, well since coming to know more about Nathan the person because of FIREFLY, I have found myself with a severe crush (as you know by now) I once thought belonged soley to Joss.
WTF???!!!!
For this, I choose to blame them both.
Joss, for hiring him. Nathan, for being himself. Even his parents, for making him so gorram adorable. The full-page article in TV Guide (in which he admitted to dorkily taking pictures of himself around the LOST set) didn't help, and neither did the mini-interview I read this morning, in which he was asked about all his favorite desserts/candy being chocolate, chocolate, chocolate (weird thing to obsess about, I know, but it's something we really have in common).
Thanks a lot, guys 
. Thanks a lot.

I'm there with you. Crushes are silly, and normally I'll have nothing to do with them! But Nathan defies silliness and reason. He's just crush-able. *sigh*
I recently discovered that I could have a crush on Jon Stewart too, after seeing him on Moyers last Friday. What is it about an intelligent, passionate, modest man with an excellent sense of humor? I just can't break free LOL!

Hit the nail on the head regarding my Joss-worship!
#3 for me is Drew Goddard, by the way. He keeps rising for me, too.
(No, I didn't mean it that way!)

Drew Goddard is an admittedly obsessed Buffy fan who became a writer in the final season, then wrote for Angel's final season, then moved on to two other favorite shows of mine, Alias and now, Lost.
He's made countless fanboy-statements that have eerily mirrored my own feelings (or what I would've felt in a similar situation) about the shows. According to the SERENITY commentary, Joss went to him for advice on some things while writing it.
Edit: a site I've only lurked at in a non-stalkery way, I swear--his pic's at the top.

Hey, don't worry about it. The night after Drive was cancelled, I dreamed that I met up with Nathan (which I actually did last year ) and told him I was sorry to hear about his latest cancellation. He said thank you and we indulged in Fox-y commiserations over a drink. Can't remember much more than that, but I think one of us mentioned how easily we could be brothers....
....but I haven't dreamed about River in months. What the gui. 
He had the gun
He had the hat
But Jayne had sights
And that was that

Well it couldn't have been mr, cause Nathan would have known that he could talk to anyone he wanted since he was taking me home! LOL

FutureMrsFillion:Of course that's true! Believe me, I do not want this crush. Nothing against Nathan at all, but I was perfectly content with my Joss-y feelings!!! Here where I live, and otherwise. As far as I was concerned, he was the 'perfect man'. The kind I thought couldn't possibly exist (I'm really picky). So, of course he's taken...and I'm completely wrong for him anyway (story of my life).
So, even though I know it's not really true, I feel like this crush on Nathan is beyond my control. It's happening even in my subconscious for crying out loud!!!
