Girl Talk Thursday - Five Fictional Men That Still Get Me

It's been a few weeks since I've participated in Girl Talk Thursday with travel and everything happening but this weeks topic was just begging me to respond. In the beginning of September I wrote a GTT post about who my List of 5 would be. It was a serious amount of fun to not only think about, write about, and look up pictures for but also to read other people's lists and realize that in some cases mine was just wrong. I didn't include Eric the Vampire in my original list? What's wrong with me?!

Now I have a chance to redeem myself. We're doing it again. Only this time our lists are about those characters that we just can't help drooling over. The fictional men who we just wish were real. Clearly Eric will be making this one. 

1. Vampire Eric

Sorry Bill but I'm an Eric girl all the way. 

2) Jaime Lannister

Nicolai Coster Waldau who will be playing Jaime in the upcoming HBO pilot Game of Thrones

From George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. It takes a couple of books to warm up the guy but by book 5 I am all about him. 

3. Mr. Darcy

While I certainly prefer Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy, I've pretty much been in love with the man since I read the book.

4. Han Solo

Easily one of my first character crushes. He's just such a trouble maker! And the looks he gives Leia... make me melt every time.

5. Don Draper

Do you guys watch Mad Men yet? Seriously, get on that. Then I won't have to explain why Don gets me all worked up. It's self-evident.

Nostalgia Mention: Josh Hartnett in the Faculty

Since I still get made fun of for this one (rightly so, I'm sure) I may as well include him. But come on! He pulled apart a paper cutter and attacked an alien teacher with it! That was kind of badass. Right? Am I right? Shut up, I'm right.

There are lots and lots of others from movies and books and a bit of TV. I just need to stop here. I have lots of other things to do today! As much as I enjoy doing a google search for images of hot men. I feel like I should make a list of honorable mentions, past crushes, etc. Would definitely include the likes of Bud White, Malcolm Reynolds, Gambit, Robin Hood, various men from old Westerns, Rick Blaine, Jack Sparrow, Batman, Spike, a few British guys, and one or two characters from Shakespeare... others I'm sure.

See why I had to stop?

Girl Talk Thursday: The Five.

This week's GTT is about your five. You know... those five. The five freebies you're allowed to have and it won't be cheating. Or however that works. That is how it works, right?

Straight up, this list is hard! Especially working out here in LA land. Like, I might actually meet these people someday! And work with them. And have them become my best friends. And, um, I'm not creepy? I've all ready eliminated Michael Vartan off the list cause I've seen him irl (Hottest man I've ever seen) and crossing this over into reality seems to take away some of the fun of the fantasy. Or maybe that's just me.

I also change my mind a lot.

1. Johnny Depp

Been in love with him forever. No way he wasn't getting on this list. I don't remember when it started, but I do know I watched Chocolat countless times because of him.

2. Gerad Butler

I watched The Ugly Truth for him. That's commitment to a cause right there.

3. Robert Downey Jr.

I blame Ally Mcbeal. For the crush part at least. I also think he's a fantastic actor and I'm very, truly happy that he seems to have gotten his life together.

4. Nathon Fillion

Everytime I hear "Bam, said the lady" or some variation thereof I get all tingly. He's just so cute!

5. Russell Crowe

Maybe not always but for sure in the L.A. Confidential Bud White mode. Also a fan of the 3:10 to Yuma Russell. And a few others. Something about the bad guy or the tough guy who can still do good. 

I feel like all of these guys sort of fall into the same sort of physical category. Am I really this predictable? I guess I'm a sucker for tall, dark, and handsome. Also, good arms. I'm totally a sucker for good arms.

**EDIT**

Okay, so after reading a few other lists I just have to add a few honorable mentions here. So many cute guys to drool over!

Hugh Jackman
George Clooney - I adore him. I once even had a dream we made out in a pink hair salon. Okay, maybe that's just a little weird and TMI...
Jason Bateman
Taye Diggs - He is so beautiful
Jonny Lee Miller - I had SUCH a crush on him after Hackers. HA!
Justin Long - I know, nerd.

And, last but certainly not least, Alexander Skarsgard.

 I am definitely a Vampire Eric girl. I actually almost, almost put him on my list. I'd say he's number 6. Although, ask me in another week and he may move up...
