Lonely Lovin'
I got your lonely heart right here, baby.
Wow. It's a big week here at The L.C! Alesia and I both nominated for Ritas (yay!), we had the fabulous Susan McBride here to entertain us (miss her already!) and Sweetness is turning 7 tomorrow. It's just a flurry of activity! And with all this love coming in to The L.C., I have to say, I'm having a hard time writing about lonely hearts. I keep hearing Sargent Pepper in my head, and while it does give me a very odd desire to run out and buy one of these jackets...
... it doesn't really get me anywhere, blog-wise. So what's a non-Lonely girl to do?
Talk about the Fictional Lonely Hearts I Wouldn't Mind Giving A Little Company To:
David Addison. Okay. Everyone who knows me knows my thing for David Addison. Hunky, fun, singing and drunk - just the way I like 'em. Yet, he and Maddie just couldn't seem to make it work. Possibly because the writers hosed the show, possibly because Cybill Shepherd got herself knocked up in Season Three and hosed the whole thing. I don't know what happened, but the show done got hosed, and David Addison ended up alone. Which is wrong, wrong, wrong.
House. Oh, my. Ohhhhhh, my. That Hugh Laurie? Oh, my. How an actor can make such an ever-loving a**hole (see? dig me, I'm watching the language) be sooooo sexy, I'll never understand, but I'm just glad he does it. And House is a big jerk, but there's something about his uncompromising honesty and rough exterior (and blue eyes, let's not underestimate the eyes) that makes him a lonely heart I wouldn't mind sidling up to. At least for a little while.
Eko. Okay. You know, I understand. The guy was a South African mobster. He killed people. He was kinda bad. But on Lost, he's just sexy. Walking around with that big stick, being all mysterious and spiritual, and did I mention the eyes? I've got this thing for eyes. All I'm saying is, what happens on the Freaked Out Island from Hell, stays on the Freaked Out Island from Hell.
Spike. You might surmise from the fact that this is the second murderer on my Let Me Warm That Lonely Heart list, that I have a bad boy thing, but you would be only the teensiest bit right. What I love about Spike is that, even with the whole No-chip-no-soul-I'll-kill-you-dead thing, he's still one of the most amazingly complex and sexy fictional people ever to exist. And when, even without a soul, he tries to be a good man for the sake of love? :::sigh:::
Michael Bluth. You know, I never had a thing for Jason Bateman until this show. And even though Michael is slightly selfish and highly manipulative, I can't help but think he'd be fun company, ifyaknowwhatimean.
All right. Time to run and party down with the kids. Have a lovely weekend, all!

Ooooo--David Addison. Mmm-MMM!! I STILL drool when I think about him! LOVED the show, HATED the network for killing it. I don't even think it's on in syndication anywhere... (sigh)

Clive Owen as the bank robber in INSIDE MAN. Yes, I know he's a bank robber. But - all together now - drool. Denzel Washington in the same movie. Happy birthday Sweetness!

Um, you forgot Russell Crowe in "Gladiator."
Mmm...body armor and a scruffy goatee...

Lani, Lani, Lani,
We can so hang out in bars together because we are never going to fight over boys. I mean, I love Mr. Eko, but not like that. Give me Naveen Andrews or Matthew Fox any day.
And the others . . . Spike? No. Angel? Yes. House? No. Snotty Australian resident? Yes. Jason Batemen? No, although there's no one on the show that I'd give a yes, too, so maybe we'd have to arm wrestle for him.

What the hell HAPPENED to Bruce Willis? He used to be so charming and funny. Now the guy has no sense of humor or charm. What a fucking waste!
Lani, I agree with your taste in men a lot, apparently :)

Congrats on the nomination, Lani!

Congrats Lani! And I have to agree with a couple of your choices. I *love* me some House. Laurie does and excellent job of making him human and broken so that I just want to be the one to fix him. David Addison, I *so* wanted to marry him, never mind how much older he was, and a fictional character, he was all mine.

Eileen - Angel over Spike? Snotty Australian resident over House? Wow. You're right. We'll never fight over a man!
Jennifer - it doesn't matter what happened to Bruce. David Addison is on DVD. :::sigh:::
Hope - you and I are obviously separated at birth. Now for the true test - how do you feel about Colin Firth?
And thanks to everyone for the congrats! I'm excited!
Posted by: Lani at March 27, 2006 7:25 PM
whooooo-weee! Colin Firth, now there 'ya go! The others on the list....not so much.
though I do wonder why Eko is cutting down those trees....
at any rate,
Congrats Lani on the RITA nom. woo-hoo!
:-)

Loved Colin since I saw this really weird movie with him and Billy Zane on Lifetime a few years ago. I believe it was pre-BJD, because he had the long sideburns of the 90's and the kind of puffy hair. So yeah, I think we were separated at birth.

Congratulations on the nomination, Lani!
I'm so with you on David Addison. Still sloooowly working my way through Buffy (I'm halfway through series 3) so I'm not sure about Spike yet. Angel doing topless T'ai Chi though? Enjoyed that v much.

Hugh Laurie as House! Now we're talking! Sorry, hon, but for me he supercedes Lovely Colin :-)
