iTunes just followed the Hallelujah Chorus with Tessie. You know, with bagpipes.
I love life.
And now, because
elfwreck tagged me, and it's funny that she did so:
The 10 fictional characters I'd shag/that I fancy/whatever meme thingy.
10. Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables). Required token of younger days, really.
9. Khym Mahn (Chanur series). Partly because I had to have a Cherryh character, just on principle. Partly because -- he had the strength to defy tradition and live, partly for the sake of the wife he hardly ever saw. Pulling sticks. And anyway, being a not-Hilfy is entertaining all of itself.
8. Jin (from House of Flying Daggers). Actually, mostly I lust after his outfit. But the process of getting him out of it has its other bennies.
7. Buliwyf (13th Warrior). He's, like, the personified self-image of an old boyfriend.
6. The real Emma Peel (played by Dianna Rigg) (The Avengers). Not that I fancy women in general, but . . . still. Emma Peel.
5. Jarod (The Pretender). I actually find the capacity to morph into other selves, completely constituted, a fascinating process. And competence is always an attractor.
4. Sam Vimes (Discworld). Ahh, dark sarcasm and tightly-wound focus, finely tuned to hair trigger and sometimes a touch beyond.
3. Benedick (Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing). Not that I express affection by bickering or anything like that.
2. Tyr Anasazi (Andromeda). My, he's pretty. In a vicious, effective, nihilistic sort of way. But what a gorgeous voice. Mmmm.
1. I'm afraid, though, that my favorite is one of mine, and thus nobody's liable to meet him unless it gets published (aside from my first-readers, heh). Mikel, secondary protagonist of The Devil's Dance, narrator and primary protagonist of The Devil's Due. There's something about the combination of stunning competence, a scholarly bent, and complete emotional ineptness that hits my "engineer" buttons. :P
Not going to tag anyone specific. Do it if you find it as funny to do as I did.
