Amanda, 21 from Oklahoma, talks about why she's a Josh fan

I don't want to talk about the election. A week ago, definitely, but not now. I'm not going to post some long-winded entry about how I feel & why... I just don't care to right now. I can start off where I left off, right? Kind of?

I don't really want to talk about school or work or the news or anything that I'd normally like to @ least touch base on. There's a lot that I want to say, but the thought of posting an entry that needs to be split into multiple parts isn't the least bit appealing.

No.

I want to talk about Josh Gates.

Why, do you ask, people who don't read my journal? Well, I'll tell you:

Q. Who is Josh Gates?
A. The host of Sci Fi's show "Destination Truth," in which he & his crew travel to far corners of the earth to investigate anything from the elusive (and quite possibly non-existent) yeti, way over in central Asia, to weird monkey owl creatures supposedly living in east-central Africa... to all sorts of other totally weird (and some not) creatures/phenomena that may or may not exist on this crazy little planet of ours.

Q. Why do I care?
A. You probably don't... But here are some interesting facts about him anyway:
He's from Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. Massachusetts is one of my faaavorite states. It's wonderful.
He has degrees in drama & archaeology from Tufts University, which is in Boston & is also the alma mater of a band that is really close to my heart... Guster.
He's climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro AND Mt. Aconcagua.
He used his skills as a qualified SCUBA diver to assist in the excavation of Caesarea Maritima in Israel...
HE'S AWESOME.
He is a new crush of mine, what can I say? There are just so many cool things about him. He's tall, he's really funny (and in that dry/sarcastic sort of way that I appreciate), he's smart, he seems to be a really nice guy, & what's totally great about him is that he's cultured & that's something you don't find too much in the states. Also, he's just an adventurer... he does all this crazy & daring stuff... He's just fun to watch.

And I totally have a super huge crush on him. And I don't feel quite as silly about it b/c he's not a big big celebrity... doesn't seem as out of reach. LoL :-)
