Memes, memes, they're good for the heart

[fredericks]

anogete posted this, then I got sucked in and spent time at this ungodly hour writing up a list of people and surfing for pics. Because I'm sort of nutso. I'm not tagging anyone. It's fun enough that y'all should be obligated to do it (if you want).

List fifteen fictional characters, male or female, with whom you would have sex (in no particular order) and tag five people to do the same.

1. Kira Nerys (from Star Trek:Deep Space Nine)

Nerys kicked ass first and asked questions later. During the course of the series she went from a volatile ex-Freedom Fighter to a ... somewhat less volatile ex-Freedom Fighter with serious heart. Her smile, her boots, the way she *strode* into a room, her eyes. Oh, and, uh, the way her character balanced the deep faith of the Bajoran people with a warrior's life was sort of intriguing as well.

2. Benton Fraser (from due South)

Okay, *look* at that picture; do I have to justify why I'd have absolutely no problem shacking up with this fictional man? Yes, he was a little socially inept - I find that *endearing*! Sure, he talked a lot on topics like the best ice fishing methods in the Northwest Territories - who doesn't like a relationship where one is constantly learning?!? And, yeah, he was totally doing Ray Kowalski...okay, that one I can't get past menage a trois?. But in my fictional world? We'd totally be (fictionally) knockin' it. And how.

3. Horatio Hornblower (from the Horation Hornblower series [TV 'verse only])

Yes, I do sort of have a thing for folks in uniform. This particular entry makes me feel slightly dirty, because when the series began Horatio was, what? 16? 17? and there was a scene where he stripped down to his britches and jumped into the sea in order to try and patch a hole in the side of the ship that left me with the desire to report myself to Child Protective Services. He grows up though (but good!), and he retains that aloof sexiness that I seem to find intriguing. In "Fictional Characters I'd Do World", of course.

4. Russell "Stringer" Bell (from The Wire)

This man was charismatic, sophisticated, and not made for the streets of Baltimore. Oh, String. *sigh* But, Jesus, that voice. The whole damn package. Who can forget "I'm an XL"? Oh yes, String, you certainly were.

5. Chief Tyrol (from Battlestar Galactica)

Because I have a thing for big dorky guys who are deeply passionate about what they believe in. I think it's the closest I get to an actual type. The craziness and abuse? not so much a turn-on. But I'd definitely take him before all that happened. Him and his big hands. Big skillful hands...

Moving on.

6. Rodney McKay (from Stargate: Atlantis)

Wait, did I say I was moving on? I lied. Ok, so Rodney can be a dick at times. A LOT of the time. But he can talk really fast and do amazingly fast things with his fingers. And even though I disliked the way TPTB were throwing him and Katie together, his interactions with her showed a refreshing sweet side to his personality. So you have the potential for the hot monkey sex and the slow soundtracked-by-Luther and/or Al Green sex. Score!
And the Stat Nurse who periodically shows up on the floor looks *just* like Rodney, with a nifty stud earring and all. When I call the RRT it's effin' Swoon City, I swear to God.

7. Zoe Washburne (from Firefly)

Forget Cap'n Tightpants or the Companion; Zoe's effin' sex on (long long) legs. If it was on offer, the only reason to turn it down would be because of risk for bodily harm. But, you know?, sometimes it's worth it.

8.Gerald Tarrant (from C.S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy) - I think I mentioned the aloof sexiness appeal somewhere above. It really applies for the character of Gerald, and the whole deal is doubled when you add the anti-hero/fear vampire aspect (btw - if you haven't read the series, please do: it raises all sorts of interesting questions about faith and belief and religion without bashing you in the head it 'em).

9. Eddie Dean (from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series) - He's the guy that cracks wise at inappropriate times, but always has your ass. Humor, gunplay, and sexiness going hand-in-hand. And I'm a sucker for hazel eyes.

10. Thomas Raith (from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series) - A luminously attractive emotional vampire who can get a charge from teh sexin'. He's also described as "a wiseass who makes everyone who meets him want to kill him". I just like the crackin' wise bit. And the sex. Talk about le petit mort.

11. Jack Knight aka Starman (from the DC Comic 'Verse)

Jack is the sorta guy I'd normally feel the urge to pop in the the mouth: he loves to quote obscure movies or wax poetic on noir, dresses like he can't decide whether he wants to be a hipster or a hippie, and his day job is more or less running a Salvation Army. But I can't deny I find his Starman gear hot as all hell. And I've mentioned how I like the funny guys, right? Funny guys + leather jacket + glowing stellar rod? For the win.

12. Ianto Jones (from Torchwood)

My first instinct, when pilfering the Torchwood team for FCILF, was to go with the perpetual horndog Jack. But Ianto's like a damn diamond in the rough: you take off that suit and you muss that hair and you *know* (you just KNOW, dammit; like you know the sun's going to rise tomorrow) that you're going in engage in some fun exhausting sex. Sure, there's some fumbling and, yeah, he's blushing (so beautifully - never underestimate the power of the blush), but y'all are going to get to the summit and it's going to be a damn good trek.

Ah, Ianto, you sly dog.

13. Daniel Jackson (from Stargate the Movie AND Stargate: SG-1)


I think I've gone on and on about teh Spader in this space before, and (imho) he played Daniel Jackson during the apex of his hotness (I'm still wondering how a man goes from "hot" to "meh" so fast). When the series started up Daniel stayed intelligent and ridiculously nerdy, but then he friggin' got a haircut and bulked the hell up. I had *absolutely* no complaints; I'd hit either version with pleasure.

14. Tristen, from C.J. Cherryh's Fortress series (btw - the link's to a rather comprehensive review of the first four books of the series; both the review and the series are worth a read if fantasy's your thing) - Tristen falls into the "shy quiet" class of potential lovers. Sort of like Ianto, and also sort of like Ianto in that he knows what he's doing. If a coupling with Tristen's anything like the lovely Yuletide fic I read, count me in.

15. Jemaine (from Flight of the Conchords)

I guess this should be 14.5 and 15, because I wouldn't kick either of them out of my bed, but Jemaine wins by virtue of the way his voice can rumble. And because his French accent is much better. And he sings on "Business Time". I have yet to stop laughing while listening to that song. We could so make it happen.


And another meme - I was tagged by the perpetual awesome machine that is sibyline:
A) List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B) Tag seven people to do the same.
C) Do not tag the person who tagged you or tag "whoever wants to do it."I tag *everyone*! Bwah ha ha! Ha! Take THAT, meme rules.

1. Before using washed and clean utensils/dishes I have to rinse them out with boiling water and/or let them soak in boiling water for a good minute. Sponges are germ mongers; surely everyone knows this.

2. If I shower right after I wake up or right before I go to bed I like to get everything done in one go: I'll brush my teeth, floss, and wash my face while in the tub. It just saves so much time.

3. The more embarrassing my consciousness has deemed a situation, the longer I'll hold onto it and use it to flagellate myself at random times. If I'm hanging out with you and I suddenly snort or roll my eyes out-of-the-blue it's most likely because I'm thinking of what a fool I made of myself on the dance floor at that wedding back in February (or something along those lines).

4. I can no longer use a normal 8-10 oz. tea cup, but instead pull out the jumbo "need two hands and a crane to carry 'less it tips over and causes a small tidal wave" mugs and use two-three teabags per brew. I'll usually not use more than one caffeinated bag unless I have to work within a couple of hours.

5. I currently own two pairs of jeans, and they tend to get me through an entire week+. When it comes to jeans, I'll wash them when they become stained, if they develop an odor, or roughly every week and and half, whichever comes first.

6. It is annoyingly easy to hurt my feelings. The irony is I've spent years and years weaving these elaborate defense mechanisms that have kept me from engaging in situations where I might find myself hurt, and it's left me *completely* unprepared for coping with those times where things get through to me anyway. If I say "it's okay" 9/10 times it's not, but I find myself incapable of saying how or *why* it isn't okay. Or if I say "don't worry about it" 9/10 times I mean "I'm going to quietly go to pieces over what's just happened for a couple of minutes, so don't mind me; it always takes me a little while to shut down once I get fucked over". If I don't appear to be "into" things as much as you are it's not because I'm not interested, but because I'm exhausted from trying to figure out the next moves to the dance. But I AM trying, really. If I engage you on any level it's because I think you're worth the effort.

7. I'm 99% certain my "last meal" would be two slices of white bread, toasted, with butter, guava jelly, sharp cheddar, and a cup of Earl Grey with a drop of milk.

Yes! Done! ::tips over::

I dislike clothes shopping in general. Occasionally I'll start in and I'll be enthusiastic, but then my spirit'll just die and I'll want to leave abruptly.
