Write about your first crush.

Just thinking back to who may have been my first crush, I’m afraid I have to admit that it was one of the lasses of ABBA for crying out loud. The insanely popular Swedish ensemble (what a funny sort of place it must be that produced them, Volvo, Saab and Ericsson as well as the Vikings and a highly regarded peace prize named after some dude who invented dynamite) did not receive a warm welcome in my own small peer group so I kept my crush to myself.

Sometimes I wavered and thought the blonde singer was the prettiest but in the end I always found myself in the imaginary embrace of Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Oh well, there, I’ve said it..
