I definitely do not remember apparently laminating the assignment to save it for posterity. I do not at all remember writing what appears to have been an assignment for a Spanish class in high school. I found this item this past month when going through all my stuff that had been stored at my parents’ house while I was in Denmark. I think I threw it away.Īnd then there was this laminated assignment: I don’t know what happened to that picture. Because if they did and didn’t tell me about it… Now, I’m pretty sure the nakedness of Wheaton was pure speculation and conjecture, and that Sandy and my friends had not managed to either find a picture of Wheaton naked or to see the man himself in such a state. Because the drawing was a very realistic pencil sketch of Wil Wheaton - naked. I think she was grinning devilishly - at least, that’s how I like to remember it. Sitting at the school cafeteria, they circled around me, and my friend Sandy, one of the best artists in school, slid a drawing across the table-top to me. A couple of my gal pals conspired to get me a very interesting gift. (I subsequently sold it to someone in Australia via eBay, with a big loss to my pocketbook and a big dollop of embarrassment for past indiscretions.) I thought about it, for a little while, and then I bought it. It was, if I recall correctly, over a hundred dollars. When my school choir performed at Disney World my freshman year of high school, at the store in Tomorrowland, I found this amazing photograph of him, mounted on a plaque, that was from a limited series. It was more than buying memorabilia that featured him. It was more than just watching all the movies I could find that he was in - by the way, Stand By Me is a very, very good film that everyone should see. I really liked when he got his black-and-red ensign outfit, and that episode when him and Picard were trapped on that desert planet and the strange alien entity that protected the water and how dirty he got in that cave…Īnyway, how much did I go gaga over Wil Wheaton? I never found the character annoying, and I still find myself battling my kneejerk reaction to defend him when Wesley mockers speak up.
He was the kind of guy I was looking for in real life: sensitive, smart, hard working, loyal, and not physically domineering – because apparently teenage girls really do not like physically domineering men (ex. I can’t tell you how I started watching it, when, or with what episode - but I can tell you I fell for the young Crusher. I didn’t start watching it until the early 1990s, after it had already been on television for several years. Now, I didn’t start watching ST:TNG when it first aired. It was because of that show that I “found” him. These are actual pictures I've kept for nearly twenty years.Īllow me to demonstrate the extent of my affection and devotion to the actor best known for being the much mocked Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
