I've got a fangirlish question...

[conuly]

I got to thinking about this... Embarassing as it is to admit, I have crushes on three, count 'em, three guys in the buffyverse... Oz, Xander, and Spike. And, as we go on, I'm more than mildly crushing on Daniel Jackson (SG1).... I'm a fangirl. It's depressing. But then I started wondering...

Is it possible to be a fangirl* of someone who isn't stereotypically fangirled? Conversely, is there anyone fangirled who really shouldn't be? For example, I'm not a fan of Orlando Bloom, he just doesn't look all that good mihi.

And thus ends my stereotypical post of the day. I shall post a "valleygirl"** version later, for your amusement. Or perhaps I'll shoot myself first.



*_{Fangirl in this case is NON-gender specific.}

**_{*quotes her old joke* So, I was at the mall? And I saw this guy? And he was SOOOO HOT!!! *giggle*}


Oh, and on a related note... am I the only one who wants to date Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes? Not 6-year-old Calvin, grown-up Calvin, get your minds out of the gutter. By now, he'd be my age, about, if he had aged steadily from the start of the strip....

Yay for Daniel Jackson!

And I don't see why the object of one's fangirlness must be someone who is stereotypically fangirled... Is not being a fangirl independent of whether the fangirlee is fangirled by others?

[conuly]

Well, the thing about fangirlness is that fangirls generally seem to restrict themselves to the stereotypical fangirlish objects of their fangirly affections.

Try saying that three times fast.

But anyway... does that mean I can be a fangirl of whomever I want? *goes to pick out some obscure hottie to stalk*

Hmm, never thought of it that way, and still really don't see why one would have to fangirl only stereotypically fangirlable (and fangirled) persons... Maybe my lexical entry for "fangirl" isn't specific enough?

I've only started getting into watching Buffy, but I don't blame you for likign any of those three. I like Xander in the he's-just-plain-awesome way, but that may be in part because the first episode I ever watched had him dressed as a pirate and he had the same costume that I have ^-^ Though he looks better in it.

Ahem. I'm looking forward to your valleygirl version, seeing as I live there X_x

Ask Lizziey. Who thinks you're a guy. *grins*

[joeymew.livejournal.com]

She wouldn't be the first. *sighs* The tragedy of having a mainly male dominated name.

What am I supposed to ask her?

my mom, my best friend and more all have the consensus that i'm calvin. unfortunately, calvin's already engaged. sorry!

[conuly]

Hm. Can you hook me up with Hobbes, then?

[octopus.livejournal.com]

that would be great if i knew how. you know, the thing is, is that while i could see their point about calvin, i really think i'd consider myself to be more like hobbes anyway. um, not that it matters.. but anyway, i hope you find calvin or hobbes. or if you find both that you can decided between the two ;D

personally, i've always liked willow. the main reason to watch buffy ;p

I knew someone very Calvin-ish but in an even cheerier way.

I still grieve his murder last year. :`( He would be 21 this year.

I will soon have a LJ icon of him.

*hugs*

I'm sorry for your loss.

From Buffy - Spike and Giles
From SG1 - Daniel and sometimes Jack but only from the earlier series in Daniel's case and the later series in Jack's.

Someone who isn't stereotypically fangirled? Oliver Platt in lake Placid. I've got a thing about cuddly men with facial hair - hence the hubby!

You're not the only one. Actually, I love both Calvin AND Hobbes, I'd happily date either of them. But I adore Calvin. Lovelovelovelove. If I found a guy who was actually like Calvin....
