ficitonal characters: a response

OK, my roommate posted a list of fictional marriageable characters on her blog. I laughed for a long long time, mostly because I agreed with her choices (mostly) but also because I remembered a similar list I made with my friends.

Lucky for you, I was going through a Princess Diaries phase at the time and wrote it all down.

I'll set the scene:
It's a Friday night. My friends and I have decided to stay up for 30 straight hours, inspired by the 30-hr famine sponsored by the FCA at our school. We had decided not sleeping was way easier than not eating, and we were bored. Mind, we had woken up early that morning for school and we were burnt out from life the way most freshmen in high school are. You know, growing and whining and stuff.
Eager to pass the time without drowsing, we decide to make a list of hot fictional characters and record it in the journal I had taken to chronicling my pathetic fourteen year old life in. here it is, word for word:

"Ginny's house

  3. By the way I just fail at condensing, so I deleted my previous comments to just put them into one.

    I was trying to organize my blog entries and somehow deleted my list. Ok...I did it on purpose as I was slightly embarassed about the whole thing after reading your comment. I couldn't tell whether you were amused or were embrassed for me. Of course, after seeing this post I think you were more amused. (I also realized I need to stop being so insecure about silly things that are meant to be amusing. And I remembered your post all about David Boreanaz from last summer, haha. So I did repost it, but this was all just a long winded way of saying I read your comment on my post and meant to reply to it but instead decided to be stupid become all weird and insecure.

    Now on to your post. It was actually Princess Diaries that gave me the idea as I'd been rereading it recently. Plus, I was tired of all the ridiculous oogling over unworthy fictional characters like Edward Cullen and wanted to provide some better examples haha.

    However, that list blows mine wayyyyyyyyyyy out of the water.

    Though I am concerned that a lot of them aren't human.

  4. Ah this is so great! I made a list like this too, but alas, it is locked away in storage along with most of my family's possessions. Most of mine and my friends' consisted of Lord of the Rings characters rather than HP though. I am still in love with Ferris Bueller. And a lot of other people on this list (Jake Gyllenhaal, ftw). The Peter Wiggin thing is a little concerning though-- didn't he torture woodland animals for fun and stuff? I am very amused by this though, and Marca, I'll have to take a look at yours next :).
