Jade, Amelia, and I did BFD last night as our Horde chars on Kilrogg. It's the first instance we've done in ages, since things kept conspiring against us and we haven't played together in awhile. It's also the first we've done w/o my brother, who has gotten sick of WoW and has canceled his account (again). I wasn't sure if we would be able to manage with just the three of us -- all indications from Thott are that three can handle it, if they're in their 30s. Well, we just kick major booty, then, because we totally accomplished all our questing with us three -- and we were all lvl 27-28. (Warrior, mage, priest was the line up.) We didn't kill the final, final boss (no quest anyway, just loot), because we'd already been there for ages and our armor was yellow/red. We totally could have done it, though -- I just really need to learn to watch my own health when in groups. *sigh*

Ten Fictional Characters I Would Love Like a Two Dollar Whore, in No Particular Order
1. Jim, from Empire of the Sun: Dude, he survived on his own in war-torn China. Clearly a keeper!
2. Jack Kelly, from Newsies: He sings, he dances! He's also had a hard life, and you just want to help him make his dreams come true. Plus, charisma coming out of his ears.
3. Thomas Berger, from Swing Kids: The most interesting character in that movie. He slides from one extreme to the other, not knowing who he is or what's right ... but in the end I think finds that truth.
4. Laurie, from Little Women: Because Amy never deserved him.
5. Demetrius, from A Midsummer Night's Dream: He's such a sexy bastard! If he's going to fall in love with Helena because of a spell, hell, it could just as easily be me.
6. Jesus of Nazareth, from Mary, Mother of Jesus: Four words - savior of the world.
7. Patrick Bateman, from American Psycho: Okay, he's batshit crazy, but have you SEEN his body????
8. Quinn Abercromby, from Reign of Fire: Because he's the serious one.
9. John Preston, from Equilibrium: He can't feel emotions? A challenge no true woman could let stand.
10. Bruce Wayne, from Batman Begins: A brooding and privileged rich boy who wants to save his city by fighting crime in a dark suit? I'm all over it!
Haha, notice anything about this list? It's accurate in that I would do all of them like a two-dollar whore -- as I would any character Christian Bale played. <g> I just couldn't resist.
But here's my "real" list, Christian love aside:
1. Draco Malfoy, from Harry Potter: So obvious I considered not listing him at all, but that didn't seem fair. It's really Fanon!Draco that I love, of course -- snarky, sexy, intelligent and rich. What's not to love?
2. Noah Calhoun, from The Notebook: Noah is the kind of guy every girl should want -- sweet and devoted, a truly good guy. But he can brood with the best of them, and has a slight penchant for obsessiveness. That's what makes him hot. :D
3. Dave the Laugh, from Georgia Nicolson: The perfect boyfriend for every 16-year-old girl, provided they aren't blind like Georgia. He's good-looking, funny, and a bit of a cad ... except when it comes to the girl he really loves. Then, he's still funny, but he's also attentive and faithful, and no other girl might as well exist. Too bad most 16-year-old girls are too silly to appreciate this.
4. Michael Moscovitz, from The Princess Diaires: He's the heroine's best friend's older brother; that right there gives him hotness credentials. The fact that he's insanely intelligent and unapologetically geeky are also major points in his favor. And he's nice, patient, and a decent human being on top of all that.
5. Ryoki Tachibana, from Hot Gimmick: Ryoki's such a bastard. He's a genius, and wealthy, with a powerful father, but has very few social skills, and is probably one of the most clueless-about-girls boys I've ever encountered. Though he's 17, emotionally he seems to still be in the "pull on the girl you like's pigtails" school of thought. He doesn't know what he's doing most of the time. But despite all this, you feel for the poor guy (and not just because he's tall and good-looking, no), because despite appearances, you learn there might be reasons for why he's as screwed up as he is. And when he has his accidental good moments, you know that somewhere in there is a guy worth saving.
6. Mr. Knightley, from Emma: I'm not sure I have adjectives to describe why I love Mr. Knightley so. Maybe it's because he seems like a modern man in Jane Austen times, but retains all the gallantry from those days (the lack of which makes most modern men suck). But whatever, he's the bomb and everyone knows it.
7. Legolas, from Lord of the Rings: Possibly the only guy with long hair that I've found attractive, ever. Let's face it, the fact that he can kill a man from a mile away with one arrow is hot. And the crazy acrobatics he can perform. Wonder what that's like in a non-battle situation...?
8. Spike, from Buffy: Cecily was a bitch and Buffy loves Angel, so Spike really deserves to have someone. ME! Sure, he's got cheekbones to die for, is built, has a scrummy accent, etc., etc., but really the reason I love Spike is because he makes me laugh. Oh, and tries hard to be evil, but just can't hide that spark of good in him (even when he wasn't chipped/didn't have a soul ... because imho, anything that can love has a spark of good).
9. Fox Mulder, from The X-Files: He's always searching for the truth, and the truth is this: I'd probably want to kill him after two months. But what does that matter, when he's such a woobie?? He's gorgeous and smart, and life just seems to kick him in the nuts all the time. Who wouldn't want to pat him on the head and ... other places?
10. Julian Sark, from Alias: Okay, I have a fixation on evil boys, what can I say? Who also happen to be British and blond, and usually quite wealthy. You wouldn't think there'd be so many of them, but lucky for me, there are! Sark is probably the evilest of the BBBBs (as I like to call them), but he's so refined. And I have to admit that the fact he really would just as soon kill you as look at you is rather ... exhilarating. The spice would never go out of that relationship. But, as is the way with these guys, and why I can find one iota of sympathy for them, Sark has Issues wrt how he was raised. He didn't have any good role models, and so he had to learn to survive on his own. That kind of inner strength is sexy, yo. Plus, he's brilliant. If you haven't already noticed, that's a big turn-on factor for me.
I guess I'm supposed to tag people now? Okay, I want to know whatseldon and mynuet would say. And also sydney_lynne, if she checks LJ anymore. :D
