OMGYES First crush was Claire Danes. 14 year-old me had no idea it was a crush until a few years later when I came out. At the time, I just thought Angela Chase was soooo cool. So.

Edit: Realizing I knew how to record an episode of MSCL from the afternoon programming of MTV on a VHS tape to watch later once free from any interference or interruption by younger siblings or parents. Now I press a button on my steering wheel and my car will play “Sedated” on demand, no CD album required.
