Why helloooo boys!

As a newly single (Yup, again. Though this time it was a lot less dramatic.) gal, I have no qualms in writing this post. ;)

I promised Katie that I would write a post like this. If you've ever been curious what it's like to hang out with me and my girlfriends....ummm yeah this is pretty much what we do. Coo and swoon over various hot guys! This post is just going to be the fictional guys I love, real guys are just not the same. I'll do a post with real guys another time.


First, both in the list, and in my heart, is of course, THE DOCTOR! Ten (played by David Tennant) is le hotness. His hair is fantastic and he always makes me laugh. Plus, he can travel in time and is immortal. WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT???? Eleven (played by the eyebrow-less Matt Smith) recently took over the Time Lords spot in the TARDIS. At first I was sure this new regeneration would never hold the same spot in my heart that Ten did. But with a bright smile, a bouncy attitude, and a love of fish custard, I fell in love. No real guy can measure up to a Time Lord....in case you couldn't tell, I'm a huge nerd. The next two guys will probably only increase your realization of that fact. You've been warned....




Katie, my lovely friend who requested/demanded this post would KILL me if I didn't make this guy next, would be in complete agreement about this guy. It's our boy, CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS! Or you could use the nickname we have for him, CAPTAIN JACKIE. He's pretttyyyyy! So, yeah, we love him. He swaggered into my life from the TV show Doctor Who, weer he got killed off after five episodes. But don't worry, he was quickly brought back to life and given his own spin-off show! Jackie is the perfect tortured soul, but whats more important is that he has beautiful blue eyes. Jack is the perfect rouge/flirt/hero/cowboy wrapped in a futuristic umm...gay....bi.....omni....ummmm oh heck, he'll shag ANYTHING. And as the picture shows, he looks dead sex in a coat. Yes SEX. NOT sexY. Just cause.
Guy knows how to handle his gun ;)



I am far too picky when it comes to number three on my list, so I won;t be able to show a picture of BRUCE WAYNE/BATMAN. Yeah, a zillionare (just an estimate) who CHOOSES to fgiht crime and look really mega super hot? Whats NOT to love? And plus, a guy like that with arm muscles that would probably be the size of my head would be the perfect, sexy, ripped personal trainer I'd need. And plus I could be Batgirl! Ka-POW!

Next up, my love for Brits, royals, and Bowie shows up. Allow me to introduce, His Royal Highness JARETH KING OF GOBLINS! Poofy hair, tight pants, mismatched eyes, and a possessive attitude. Hmm, sounds like the perfect guy for me! Yeah, the megalomaniac side would get a bit annoying, but the guy can re-order time. That's a pretty awesome party trick! And he owns a labyrinth! No need to worry about those pesky Girl Scout brats selling tasty cookies anymore! And he gets kids wished away to him, so I could have fun with the kids if their guardian doesn't defeat the labyrinth.





Eh, I'm bored posting pics, the next guys will be book guys. Hey, gimme a break, its late and I'm sleepy

Next up, my Harry Potter boys, DRACO MALFOY, SIRIUS BLACK, and REMUS LUPIN. Sirius is my favorite, again, a charming rouge. And being in Gryffindor, he's got to be brave and loyal. And hot.
Draco: "You'd better hurry up, they'll be waiting for 'the Chosen Captain'-- 'The Boy Who Scored'-- whatever they call you these days."
Sirius: "This is how it is - this is why you're not in the Order - you don't understand - there are things worth dying for!"(heck YES)
Remus: "Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He called it my 'furry little problem' in company. Many people were under the impression that I owned a badly behaved rabbit."

MR. DARCY. 'Nuff said. This line from him describes women better then any quote I've heard from a guy: A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. So, so, true.

I think this is enough of my crazy, obsessed fan-girl for one night. I know ther were a ton of guys that I forgot (Howl, Castle, Jim Halpert, the guys from Gossip Girl, Ted Mosby, and Dr. Horrible) and maybe one day I'll get to them. But I'm tired. And hungry. And getting cranky. So I'm gonna go find something to eat. Om nom nom.

Summer Reading Suggetions

It make sense that, since I work in a library, and have access to hundreds of books every day, that choosing what to read over the summer should be a piece of cake (mmm tasty, delicious cake). Well, yes and no. You see, sometimes I just become overwhelmed when trying to find something, there are just SO many books! Most are absolute rubbish, and I'd really rather not waste my time on those books.

This is where all of you come in. I need SUGGESTIONS! Tell me what you're read, what you think I'd like, what you yourself want to read but are to lazy to actually read so you want me to read and summarize for you (I actually would if you really want me to), or something that is totally out there that I would NEVER chose for myself. Anything, really. Please don't be offended if I don't pick/like/finish/find what you suggest, but I will look into all of your suggestions.

Here is my list of summer reading so far:
Animal Farm (Orwell)- My teacher suggested this one, he was actually a bit surprised that I hadn't read it yet. So I figure I'll give it a try, animal and politics...whats not to enjoy!

Battle for the Labyrinth (Rioridin)- Ahhh kids books about Greek mythology! It's the...(thinks)
....fourth book in a series. Really good way to introduce tweens to myth. I highly recommend the series.

Jane Eyre (Bronte)- This one is a re-read, I read it two summers ago so I figured I'd recycle it for this summer :)

Going Rogue (Palin)- Because I actually like her and want to know more about her.

An Obama biography- Because I really don't like him, but he is the president so I should know more about him. this one I do need some direction on. Anyone read a good one? Preferably an unbiased (in either direction) one, if one exists haha.

Either a biography on Washington or Regan- Both awesome presidents that I want to know more about.
Again, suggestions are NEEDED here, we've got soooo many books on both men at work. I could spend a summer reading books on Washington and another on Regan's bios!

Series of Unfortunate Events (Snickett)- Hilarious author, I read the first book, I want to read at least the next two by the end of summer.

Case for a Creator (Strobel)- For someone who considers science 'voodoo magic', this one will take longer (It doesn't interest me, talking about science puts my brain into sleep mode). The author was an atheist who went and interviewed the most-smartest science people he could find to try to prove one and for all that Creationism isn't real...yeah it didn't work out so well.

There's No Place Like Here (Ahern)- Cause what's summer without some chick lit? ;)

Persuasion (Austen)- Ahhhh but this is more of my style of chick lit! My FAVORITE Austen novel deserves another read. Mmmmm Captain Wentworth....

As You Like It (Shakespeare)- I've seen a film version of this, now I want to read the actual play to see if it really is my favorite.

This might look like a 'lot' of books, but I tend to read three of four books at a time so it won't take me long to get through just these. Again, do NOT be shy with suggestions! I've read classics, modern, kids books, vampire books, wizard books, dragon books, princess books, zombie books, sci-fi books, long books, short books, funny books, stupid books!

Inversely, if you're looking for some reading suggestions, trust me, I have PLENTY. Just ask! :)




But if you suggest that I read Twilight, I will punch you in the face. Already went through that phase. It's over now. The books are HORRIBLE and the movies are only good to make fun of. That is all.
