The List

Although never a static list for more than a few weeks, I decided to give you all my current top ten men list:

"Top 10 Men: Those I Love But Will Never Love Me Back"

Number 1: Johnny Depp

All the other ranks tend to fluctuate but number 1 NEVER changes.
There is just no contest.

Number 2: Mr.Darcy of Pride and Prejudice (book)

I see a Keira Knightley trend happening...haha
I know the BBCColinFirth fans probably hate me for putting up THAT Mr.Darcy, but I own and have seen both versions and prefer Matthew as well as the newer film version. My pick though is not for either film's versions of Darcy, but the way I see the Mr.Darcy of my mind in reading the actual book. He is a perfect gentleman, distant and shy but so utterly in love with Elizabeth it is heartwrenchingly beautiful to behold.

Number 3: Howard Roark of The Fountainhead (book)

There is a film version of the book with Gary Cooper, but I have yet to see it. Also, Gary Cooper is not at all what I had in mind for the character of Howard while reading The Fountainhead, and therefore do not want to use his picture.
Howard Roark is pure and everything a man should be. He also rapes the love of his life and it's romantic...yeah...he can make rape romantic.

Number 4: Robert Downey Jr.

Ah RDJ! I feel he and Johnny are similar in that they can be both adorable and bad-ass at the same time. RDJ just seems so goddamn cool. Also I love reading his interviews because he's completely insane and makes little sense, but you just know he's brilliant. He and Johnny should be best friends, that is if the world doesn't implode with too much awesomeness in one place. Favorite movie of his by far is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, go see it now! Iron Man obviously is dynamite as well. Ah! And how can I forgot Tropic Thunder! It's sad that he doesn't have a chance to win the Oscar (obviously going to be Heath) but I think his role in that movie is both really hilarious & important.

Number 5: Conan O'Brien

AKA the funniest man on the planet. Although he may be no Johnny Depp, his humor is so attractive to me. Also sidenote: I AM GOING TO LATE NIGHT ON FEBRUARY 16th! BE JEALOUS! I cannot wait, I think I've watched every single episode of late night for at least the last 3 years.

Number 6: Clive Owen

A beautiful, beautiful man. It was love at first sight when I first saw Closer, a film I now consider one of my favorites of all time.

Number 7: McDreamy of Grey's Anatomy

To make this clear, I do not mean Patrick Dempsey. I personally think Patrick Dempsey is a huge tool, but his character of Derek Shepherd is a wonderful, gorgeous man. I used to like McDreamy a lot better, but now that Merder is all stable and normal now his appeal has sort of lessened for me.

Number 8: Vampire Bill of True Blood

I have recently discovered the wonderly creepy show True Blood and therein found Vampire Bill. If Mr.Darcy was a vampire he would be Vampire Bill. Nuff said.

Number 9: Ned The Piemaker of Pushing Daisies

ADORABLE ADORABLE man & show (recently cancelled...ABC=thumbs down) The vulnerability and innocence of Lee Pace's character is so endearing and hard not to fall in love with him.

Number 10: Jack Driscoll of King Kong & kind of Adrien Brody himself

I loveee this character, maybe it's the playwrite thing. However I go back and forth on Adrien Brody in general though.


That's what the list looks like as of this moment. I guarantee in a few weeks it will be completely different...well all except number one :)
