I have a confession to make...I have a tiny crush on Wil Wheaton. I know he's old and kind of a geek now, but I still adore him.
Who is this Wil Wheaton, you ask? Why, he's Ensign Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. I borrowed the first season of the show from Richard, the guy I babysit for and an avid Trekkie, over the winter break and slowly worked my way through all the episodes, including the very interesting 'Encounter at Farpoint'. Now I'm into Season 2 and there's no going back.
Why do I like Wil Wheaton so much? Well, I've discovered that it's not so much Wil as it is Wes. Wesley is just so cute! He's such a genius but he's so socially inept, for example in an episode called 'The Dauphin': he meets a girl that he falls head over heels in love with from afar, and when he can't figure out how to woo her he asks a succession of his older bridge-crew friends what they would do. Worf explains in great detail how Klingon women roar at their suitors and throw heavy objects, and Riker and Guinan set up a very cheesy example of romantic language and come-ons for Wes in Ten Forward. Of course the romance is ruined when Wes discovers that his beloved is a shapeshifter who can turn into a giant hairy monster at will, but still...so adorable!
I've decided that if I ever had a chance to go on a date with Wesley Crusher, I would take him out for sushi and bubble tea and then we would sing karaoke. Very Asian, I know, but I think he would enjoy it.
Winberg out.
-Laur ;)

Wil Wheaton rose to become one of the most loved nerd-celebrities on the Internet through his blog at http://www.wilwheaton.net. He seems like a nice enough guy to say yes for sushi/bubble tea/karaoke any day.
