It’s like Chrismukkah came early!!!
I have them all but the guy in the cowboy hat.
damn.
I hear that! *glowing*
Oh, I’m going to do NO WORK for the rest of today.
Just sit here in my cubicle staring at my beautiful, beautiful animated GIF.
Do you think Chrissy will take pity on me when I lose my job, because she has ruined my career with Live Journal, and let me live in her flat with Cleo?
Wow! All? I thought a lot more people would be stumped by the guy framing his face with his hands. But then, you are all Joss Whedon addicts, just like myself. (hint, hint)
Brace yourself for some *gross* overuse of the IB icon for the next little while. Their faces are just so much prettier than my face.
eye of the beholder.
You have Luke and Owen Wilson, and Tobey MacGuire, Christopher Lambert, Nathan Filion, Elijah Wood, John Cusak, and Val Kilmer.
Yes?
I’m confused. 😕
About what, my little poppet? About my unhealthy attraction to men who wield swords in films? About my attraction to *both* Wilson brothers, even though one is sexy because of his zany extrovert behaviour, and the other loveable due to his shy, befuddled righteousness?
Or is it something altogether different?
These are just my *imaginary* boyfriends, Keira. I know I’ve come close on occasion, but I have not yet turned to the dark side of bigamy. It’s all going to be okay. Just lie down. Breathe deeply.
Excellent sleuthing, my good woman. You have a keen eye for the imaginary boyfriends. 🙂
Apologies for being such a glutton, but ravaged by the loss of Viggo and Mr. Depp, I had to override quality with quantity.
Chrissy did *such* a lovely job, no?
Your prize: a pint of Strongbow when next we drink together. Only thing is, you’ll have to brave The Foxes’ Den to come and claim it!
*evil laughter* There’s always a catch.
So Melly guessed all of mine (I did pick pretty obvious choices, except for Nathan Fillion for Canadian content, and apparently Owen Wilson threw some people for a loop…)
Who are your boys? Hugh Grant – ? – ? – Colin Firth.
(Brit fetish, much?)
Christopher Lambert is the one that threw me…i could not remember his name!
Mine are Hugh Grant, Callum Keith Rennie (how can you not know the staple of Candian films!), Eric Szmanda (of CSI) and Colin.
See, not so much a Brit fetish, but a men in period films thing. Cause Colin won my heart in Valmont and Hugh in Sense and Sensibilty.
Hello! I couldnt help but notice you added me, im really curious why. Im pretty convinced i have the most substandard lj ever. Reply! or not! bye!
You’re going to think this is pretty hilarious: I added you because I just got 2 months paid LJ donated to me by a philanthropic reader, and I’ve been playing around with all the new tools at my disposal. One of the perks is geographical member search. I thought I’d see if any of my friends from BC had diaries (both of my cousins live on the west coast: Keira in Vancouver and Caius in Victoria). Your journal caught my eye, so I decided to take a voyeuristic peek at your interests.
I was totally impressed that you knew who Egon Schiele was, and a couple of your other things resonated with me too: you put down Harvey Birdman; I like Space Ghost (both by Adult Swim). You’re into hentai and japan; I minored in Japanese cultural studies in my undergrad (have Kurosawa and Sei Shonagon listed in my interests). You’ve got very decent taste in music. And most importantly – this was the deciding factor in adding you to my friends list – you like Snapple Peach Iced Tea and Will Ferrell. So you can’t be all bad.
These might seem like pretty shallow reasons for listing you as a friend, but I go with my gut, and I like your style. Besides, I enjoy having non-news reports of what’s going down in the 604 area code. I miss the mountains and the greenery.
There’s your answer. Hope you don’t mind me adding you – don’t feel obliged to read my drivel, I’d just like the opportunity to snoop on you if you’re not too bothered by it.
How in the name of…. everything with names… was Jon Cusack NOT ALREADY TAKEN when you made that? Confused. Black cat falls off windowsill.
Good list of boyfriends BTW. 🙂 Also, Hi!
:p
Thanks!! who’s shonagon? filmmaker? And please do snoop by all means.
ps sorry for taking so long to reply.
Japan has a great history of women writers, and a miserable history of female film directors (there were less than a dozen before 1990).
Sei Shonagon is a long-dead Japanese author, a member of the Imperial court and lady-in-waiting to Empress Teishi from 993 to around 1000. She wrote her ‘Pillow Book’ (Makura no soshi) around the first decade of the eleventh century. It’s a series of stories and observances, with a number of neat little lists thrown in such as “Things People Look Down On” and “Things That Make One Uncomfortable”. Very cool.
I also like Murasaki Shikibu (another woman of the court, in service to Empress Akiko in the early 11th century), who wrote “The Tale of Genji”, widely acknowledged as the first novel ever written. And a big-ass novel it is, too, at a whopping 1090 pages in translation.
Sorry if this sounded like a history lesson, but you did ask. 🙂
