Five characters that I had hopeless crushes on as a child:
1. Prince Caspian, The Chronicles of Narnia. The hair, the geekery, the knowledge of boats...he was like me, a child yearning for the old days, except that he actually got them back and was hotter than me.
2. Gilbert Blythe, Anne of Green Gables. So the perfect guy ever. That, and I was totally Anne, so I reckoned he'd like me.
3. Eilonwy, The Prydain Chronicles. Gorgeous, spunky, clever. I should have wanted to be her, but I think that I mainly just wanted to snog her. Not quite sure why ti worked out that way, but it did.
4. Laurie, Little Women. Come on. Who didn't love this guy?!?
5. Ged, A Wizard of Earthsea. Just. He's Ged, man. Dark, tortured, brilliant, silent, passionate...I wanted to fix him and free him and have lots and lots of sex with him.
I have been completely carried off by Palestrina's "Sicut Cervus." Oh my god. This may well be the most beautiful music in all the world. I could live a lifetime listening to it alone.
