Remember that Friends episode where Ross and Rachel pick 5 celebrities of the opposite sex they would be allowed a ‘freebie’ with? Well, guess what loyal reader(s), I have a list of my own! After many sleepless nights, I present to you: My Five (in no particular order).
1. John Krasinski - Jim Halpert from The Office
I’m such a sucker for you, John/Jim. I have a thing for nerdy underdogs with a great sense of humor and adorable smile. I am embarrassed to admit that I think I’m honest-to-god in love with you. I have memorized every episode of your show, done countless Google searches for your biographies and photos, and keep a life-sized cut-out of you propped up in my kitchen so I can get up every morning, enjoy my coffee, and say “Good morning, sweetheart! Did you sleep well?”
Whoops…I may have said too much (that’s what we call an overshare). I promise I’m not insane! But seriously, John, I’d love if you could mail me some of your hair and maybe an old sweater so I can add them to the statue I’m making of you.
2. Joshua Jackson – Pacey from Dawson’s Creek
Cue the Paula Cole theme song, and get me my row boat! Because, Josh/Pacey, I don’t want to wait for my life to be over. I want to know right now, what will it be? Stop leading me on with your completely adorable grin, your devil-may-care slacker attitude, and your sexy cable-knit sweaters! I demand to know where you went after Dawson’s Creek ended. Come back soon because I’m starting to think you don’t love me the way I love you.
3. Christopher Meloni – Elliot Stabler from Law and Order: SVU
Is there anything better than watching Benson and Stabler kick the shit out of pedophiles? I think NOT. This show is my crack. I am 100% out-of-my-mind addicted, and Chris Meloni is mostly to blame. He has a gun and a badge, a penchant for breaking all the rules, and tough bad-boy image. Done and done.
(Oh, and Mary Frances? I know you’re going to post some comment about his receding hairline, and you know what? I think it’s sexy so don’t even bother.)
4. Ami James – from Miami Ink
I certainly don’t expect any of you to understand the bond we share – how a bad boy tattoo artist living in Miami can have such a powerful connection with a 23 year old Development Coordinator from Richmond, VA - but there’s something about you that I can’t get enough of, Mr. James. I dig your bald head, hardcore tattoos and low rise jeans. Call me up sometime and maybe we can get inked together.
5. Taylor Hanson
STOP JUDGING ME.

This is a very interesting group of men you have put together. I like to think that each one speaks to a different part of you. Also, I can tell you where Josh/Pacey has gone…I am loving every second of him on the new show The Fringe. It is totally X-Files and fantastic.

Oh, Liz, of course you have the guy from SVU on there. I hope they appreciate your devoted fandom, because they SHOULD.

Scottie, did I ever tell you about the time I was watching SVU, enjoying hot tea from my SVU mug, and my cell phone rang the SVU theme song? True story. I didn’t even notice anything was weird until Thalaline told me she was scared for me.

UM NO that was ME who told me I was scared for you (remember, I’d slept over at your house after we got stupendously drunk at Sticky Rice in March? hello? You did your first sake bomb?)!! ELIZABETH. I know that Preston and I are all fancy and married now, but have you forgotten ALL of our magical life partner moments so quickly???

ps Excellent choices on numbers 1 and 2. 3 I’ve never heard of and although I love you, your love of Hanson goes along with your love of Britney for me: a love that I respect, but that I don’t understand….don’t hate me. Actually I kind of take it back. I do love Penny and Me. Also, we were watching the Office last night, and I’m pretty sure Preston’s in love with Jim. Like, for real.

ok now i’ve posted like 18 times in the last two hours. but whatever. anyone who’s reading this probably reads my blog so they already know i’m a loser. i embrace it.
to the point: i JUST saw the christopher meloni picture (and the comment, which was dead on. receeeeeeding hairlineeeee….) and i obvi know who he is; i don’t know who number 4 is (the tattooed one).
love me even though i’m rapidly becoming your number one stalker? k thanks.

Liz, did you know Taylor Hanson’s wife is pregnant with their FOURTH child? I mean diz-amn Hanson brothers. We should have picked ‘em up when we had the chance at the Landmark sophomore year…

Whitney, they ALL have kids and wives! It’s the weirdest thing…even the little one. I think Taylor has been married for years (since age 19 or something). I was thinking of doing a whole diagram and family tree to share with people but then realized there are less than a dozen of us who actually realize just how talented and adorable they are.
