My Fake Crushes

I develop crushes easily.  These aren't real crushes though.  They don't involve feelings.  They are just pretend.  But I enjoy them nonetheless. 

I'm sharing here my top five fictional crushes.  Note: These crushes are not on the actors, but on their characters-their t.v. personas.  These will most likely change based on my rotating show following. You see, I am one of those people who get addicted to shows.  When I get my hands on a new series I fall off the planet.  The show consumes my life.  I can't just watch one episode - I can't stop.  I have to watch the whole thing all at once.  I have an addictive personality.  

So lets quickly summarize the who's and the why's of my fictional love life.  

Jim Halpert (The Office): I want to be his Pam.  He's the guy who gets cuter and cuter each time you see him.  He's the guy you have inside jokes with that no one else would

get.  You could be across a room from him, but communicate with just a glance. He has that witty sarcasm that turns my crank.  He makes jokes, but not to be the funny guy or the centre of attention.  If you're the type of person that doesn't get his jokes, he doesn't want you to get them anyway.  

Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds): 

He's the nerdy but intellectually stimulating guy.

He too gets more attractive the more you hear him talk.  The way he spits out random statistics cracks me up.  He balances being superior and inferior perfectly.  He's a genius yet socially akward.  But not in an uncomfortable way. More in a way that makes you want to turn your head to the side and saw "aww" - then hug him and kiss him and squeeze him.  

Nate Fischer (Six Feet Under): He's the sexy bad boy.  He makes a series of bad decisions. And he knows it.  But at the same time, he's honest and he lives life the way he wants

to live it. In a way, that's what life is all about.  Making mistakes and learning as you go along.  He goes through life trying to figure out who he is and where he wants to be - he just goes through a lot of obstacles before he gets it all straight. When push comes to shove - he always makes the right choice.  And isn't that all you can ask of a person? 

Edward Cullen (Twilight):  Okay, so this is a characer from a book - I know. This is the crush that caught me most off guard.  I am a person that hates any type of book or movie that can't be real.  I like true stories, memoirs or things that are believable.  I hate all other stuff.  I have never seen any Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars...etc.  No interest.  Which is why I thought I'd be the LAST person to get into a vampire series.  Yet, here I am.  Not only into the the series, but having a fake crush on a vampire.  But Edward, as it turns out, is the ultimate hero.  He is everything and more.  He is strong, honest, old fashioned, mysterious, trusting, family oriented AND incredibly attractive.  He's a protective lion.  He's an honourable man you'd take home to your mother.  Really, what isn't he?  I bet he would not only cut my lawn and snow blow my driveway, but he'd do it in 2 minutes.  I think the only thing I wouldn't be happy about is having him climb through my window and watching me sleep.  

Ben Covington (Felicity): He is pretty much exactly Nate Fischer, just on a different show. He's a little more "boy next door".  But unlike Nate, he got the girl in the end - just like in a fairy tale.

So that's that.  I was tempted to include Hank Moody (Californication) in there- but thats actually embarrassing.  That guy is a sex addicted, drug addicted bad boy with nothing going for him.  I can't even logically explain the crush. But it's there.  Maybe he tugs at my dangerous, scandalous inner thoughts. Who knows. I would think my crush may evaporate knowing that David Duchovny married Tea Leone because she's annoying and a bad actress.  I think this one will fade fast.  It's just a brief phase I'm going through.  

So - I'm curious.  Who are everyone else's fake t.v crushes???
