My Infamous Crush on...

Scott Plummer


Amanda blogged about her crush in high school and I'm participating in sharing my most infamous crush...

I met Scott when he moved into the neighborhood in fifth grade. He had dark hair with white bleach spots in a leopard pattern. I can remember Angie pointing him out and it was love at first sight. He was a year older than me and the school year soon came to an end. I convinced someone to walk around the block several times each Summer night. (It was usually Natalie that ended up consenting) She soon put two and two together that I was really just trying to walk by his house in hopes of seeing him. On a few occasions I actually did run into him outside, feeding my need to do it every night. I WAS IN LOVE...

Sixth grade went by and I often had dreams about the older hot boy that attended South Davis. In my dreams, he would always pull into my driveway in a red convertible to pick me up for a date. I ended up seeing him at Lagoon the next summer and we went on the Terror Ride together. He held my hand and caressed my my thumb during the whole ride. This lead to him being my first kiss. I began sneaking out of my house to walk up to his house to make out, every weekend. He would always spray New West cologne in his room before I came and we would make out to Guns and Roses for hours at a time. I can remember coming home one morning and my sister Laurie was leaving to go to Drill and I had to hide in the bushes until she passed. We made out for about two years, and I loved, loved, loved him.

I went to a New Years Eve dance at Five Points and he left with Dawn Duncan. I was crushed. I cried the whole way home. I also remember sneaking out with some of my friends and waiting outside his window for the South Davis girls (mary jean potter and nicole) to leave before we entered. How pathetic. Anyway, I was ruined my sophmore year when he got asked to Sadie Hawkins by a Senior (Heather Neil) who he ended up dating. The crush soon died when he dropped out of High School and I no longer got to see him. Although I did see him at Jazz games every so often because their season tickets are right by ours. This happened for years and years. He ended up getting married and having kids. I still wonder what he is up to and I STILL have dreams about him. I wonder if they will ever go away...

I think this most definitely my favorite post ever. I didn't know your love affair lasted so long!!! 2 years of making out to G&R??? No wonder you are still in love. I think it's hilarious that you could have been attracted to that hair. I remember thinking it was so gross. I think you really should have dropped out of high school and moved to WX with him. And lived happily ever after.

Okay, I am composing myself right now because I have simultaneously had my mouth agape and laughing for the last 3 minutes! There are so many reasons this is fabulous to me:

1. You soooo embraced my challenge and this is an amazing post!
2. Scott Plummer ended up dating all kinds of my friends ie. Heather, Lindsay, etc. and he always had that kinda dangerous/slit your throat vibe which I never understood
3. The slit your throat vibe came from the fact that when Lindsay was dating him, our Junior year, Mel, Amy Lindsay and I spied on him and he kept a huge knife in his bedroom window as a "warning". We got caught trying to escape, I fell down that hill of srub oak in his backyard, and got stuck in the splits hanging on to a branch and peed my pants.
4. I always told him he looked like Scottie Vargas off of The Christmas Story - the mean kid with yellow eyes and green teeth. He never appreciated that much.

You were the Queen back in the day - I think all the boys loved you and wanted to make out with you for hours. Must have been that hair and killer body!
