Ibbygirl Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 There are books. I don't know that they qualify as literature, but I'm going to count them. :) :iagree::iagree::tongue_smilie: They count! They totally do! That's my position and I'm not budging! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just too awesome for words! Maybe it's the Japanese influence? She's got an inner Samurai! :D Edited May 22, 2012 by Ibbygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 :D I so adore those two! I thought the movie adaptation by Kenneth Branagh was so well done. His Benedick is so funny, and Emma Thompson is just how I picture Beatrice. :iagree: One of my all time favorite adaptations! For me: 1. Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables 2. Angelo Pardi from Le hussard sur le toit 3. Viviane, Lady of the Lake, from The Mists of Avalon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Oooh, I'm changing my dating vote to the 10th Doctor. Or the 11th. I'm not too picky. :) I'll call the 9th Dr. I cried when he regenerated to the 10th Dr. David Tennant did grow on me but their is nothing like one's first Dr. Can we count periodicals? I'll add James May to the line up of date/marry. Can't decide who I would like to be. Maybe Stephanie Plum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 1. Mr. Knightley (Dh's personality is very much like Knightley's. He's not thrilling, but he is kind, loyal, hardworking and seems to put up with my faults even though he can see them). 2. James Bond (That would be the ultimate fun date, but really, not someone you should marry.) 3. Jo March (She's got spunk. She withstands adversity. She has the sense to not marry Laurie and hold out for true love. She follows her own path and finds happiness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Marry - Jean Luc Picard (and yes, there are books - not high literature, but there are books) Date - Robin Hood Be - Xena! LOVE your choices! :D And a couple of my selections were also from books that wouldn't necessarily qualify as literature. I think theres some wiggle room here, right? 2. James Bond (That would be the ultimate fun date, but really, not someone you should marry.) I started to put James Bond, too! But then I remembered that I never cared for that character much until Daniel Craig took the role, and I've never actually read any of the books, so he didn't seem to qualify after all. But if I can specify Daniel Craig as James Bond, then I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealea86 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 1. Ron Weasley. Because he reminds me so much of my husband. And, well, it's hard to imagine me with anyone who isn't very much like DH. :001_wub: 2. Ron Weasley (I adore Gilbert Blythe, but I fit much better with a Ron) 3. If the question is who I'm most like, that would probably be a combination of Beth March, Anne Shirley, and Hermione Granger. I'm a shy, imaginative, know-it-all. :D But if the question is who I'd most like to be... I've always thought it would be amazing to be Susan Pevensie - up to and until the she leaves Narnia for the last time. You wouldn't catch me betraying Aslan. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm really curious about how you define the difference between a good guy to marry vs. a good guy to date! I only dated guys I'd consider marrying. Help me understand this distinction... Fun thread! Oh, dear! Then you missed out on some fun if you only dated the "marriageable kind". My friend put it this way: You date Owen Wilson. You marry Luke Wilson. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkins_mama Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Since this is all fiction, I would #1 Date Rhett Butler because I think it would be fabulous to be courted. #2 Marry him because I hear he is fabulous at married type things. :tongue_smilie: #3 I'd be, of course, Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler. And I'd be awesome. My middle DD is named after her and boy did she inherit the stubborn resourcefulness that comes with the name. I've read that book at least 10 times, and the ehhh sequel as many. The movie doesn't do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 1&2 Gilbert Blythe3. Anne Shirley Hmmmm.... I'd marry Dr. Watson. I'd date for the sheer adventure of it, Sherlock Holmes. I would definitely be Beatrice and especially if Kenneth Branaugh was Bennedick. Faith :iagree: LOVE Kenneth Branagh And, goodness, HOW could I have forgotten Gil????? *swoon* The book is SO much better! I picked up the book when I was bored one day and was hooked. I read lots of random stuff my parents had on the bookshelves. :) I want to be your parents to my dc! I am trying to build my library up with good books. My Kindle App is hampering the endeavor. :tongue_smilie: ^I would totally date The Doctor, but is that really "literature?" Don't know, don't care! LOL I'll add the 10th Doctor to my list of dates. Marry - Jean Luc Picard (and yes, there are books - not high literature, but there are books) Date - Robin Hood Be - Xena! Jean Luc!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a teen, that was my most favorite show. I had the biggest crush on Jean Luc, and I wanted to be Beverly so bad! LOL OK, so I had a HUGE crush on Data, too. Don't judge me. LOL If e are going in that direction, I want to romp with Snape. Oo, oo, me, too, me, too!! I'm going with my Outlander girls! Jamie Jamie Claire :D Yes, at the end of the day it will always come down to Jamie. I see a lot of my DH's character in Jamie, which is probably why I love him (Jamie) so much. Both of my dc are named after Outlander characters. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My family has crushed my spirit. They say that Xena and Jean Luc would never make it as a married couple.
