Internet Crushes?

I know I'm going to bump into people that I know really only from their blogs (or maybe Twitter) but am overly fond of their work, their writing, their thing in proportion to how well I actually know them. I'm going to gush, and I accept that.

A few of the people so far I'm a little crushed out over...

ze (is he coming?)
Michelle Tea (personal hero, so excited she's doing the Heather Gold Show)
Tom Coates (I have no idea if he's even going, I've just been adoring him & his blog for almost ten years and I can't believe that's even possible)

I know I'm not the only one. Please fess up? Or are you usually the type beating back fans yourself?
