the ivy gate blog (and no, i didn't go to an ivy league school) posted an interesting little tidbit on former child actor (and heartthrob to all tweens in the '90s) jonathan taylor thomas. it reads:

If, like me, you thought Randy Taylor's mushroom cut was the pinnacle of prepubescent eroticism (sigh), used back issues of Tiger Beat as locker wallpaper (you're not alone), and are still waiting for him to write back to your nine-page mash notes -- there's still hope! Apparently everyone's favorite flannel-shirt-wearing troublemaker never learned the wonders of the internet and has failed to remove himself from Columbia's public directory. Or maybe he simply didn't do the math -- us Tiger Beat diehards are now just about the age to be in college. At Columbia. Stalking Tom Sawyer -- I mean, Jonathan Taylor Weiss. Send e-fanmail to jtw2112@columbia.edu.

if i were 13 again, i might actually reach out to him because the word "boundaries" and "restraining order" wouldn't really mean anything to me at that age. so thank you for my smart, ivy league graduate friend for that little update on one of my childhood crushes.
