5.00 (astute)

I've never gone googoo-eyes  over gymnasts - too young for my taste.  But the Brazilian women's volleyball team, that's a fantasy of epic proportions....

She was 14, I was 14, things were perfect!

Until I found out that she was actually 26 at the time I watched the footage of the '76 Olympics. Didn't quite have the grasp back then that what was on teevee wasn't "right now". Ah well.

At least it didn't go as bad as my other childhood crushes of Martina Navratilova or Ellen DeGeneres.

5.00 (interesting)

Martina and I are exactly the same age.  And although I've never met her, I've always felt confident I could ... give her a new perspective on life, so to speak.
