Jack, Ranger & Harry: My Men

Fictional men are the bomb. They're never moody; they're always sexy; and they're not nearly the pain in the rump that the real things are. So here are Odes to all my favorite fictional men. (I probably should get one made up for Darcy--God, I love that man. Though he was a bit moody.)

Ode to Jack

Ode to the pirate called Jack
The rogue with a tongue so clever—
Norrington’s fine; and Orlie’s sublime,
But Jack’s my true love forever!

57 days (May 25 release date) until witty Jack is saved. Approximately 8 weeks. And yes, Jack, I would have come to save you just because I missed you! (Of course, I wouldn’t have handcuffed you to the ship and let you die—you really need to stop kissing the wrong women. Seriously.)


Ode to Ranger

Ode to the hunter called Ranger,
The man with the gun and the bod—
To sleep with him ruins you forever,
But that happens when you sleep with a god.

82 days (June 19 release date) until a Ranger fix—and being he’s ruined me, he needs to fix it. (I don’t know where Sin got 73 days left, but if she’s getting a copier EARLIER, she needs to hook me up with her supplier…)


Ode to Harry

Ode to the wizard boy called Harry
Who faces dastardly Voldemort!
If he dies, I’ll do nothing but cry and cry—
Sobbing tears by the bushel and quart.

114 days (July 21st release date) until Harry kills Voldie. (We know he’s gonna kill Voldie—but let’s hope he doesn’t have to die along with him.) They have the book covers out now for our rabid (okay MY rabid) fascination. I’m once again excited. (That two week moping ‘Eh, who cares about Harry?’ period has obviously passed.)


Who is your favorite fictional man? And what would his ode be if you had to write one?

Ode to the man who’s called Mayne
The one with the grin and the curls—
Whose kisses will leave you dazed
And his bedside which’ll rock your world.

I know a man named Ranger
Whose mouth can put you in certain danger
With one crook of his finger and an intense look in his eye
You shiver because you know that it's no lie
Ranger is a bad motherf'er. :)

Well we all know whom I adore fictional wise. I can't wait for Sunday. *happy dance* More Ranger.

And you're right, H. I was wrong on the days because I can't count. LOL
