Help! I’m in love with a fictional character!

Actually, a few.

There is of course Sheldon Cooper, the subject of last week’s love-a-thon.

This week it’s Edward Cullen. Mmmhmmm, you heard me. I finally jumped on the Twilight bandwagon. Now I am embarrassed I didn’t sooner. First, I do love me my vampires – Buffy being one of my all time favourite shows. Second, I am way into fantasy in general. Third, my niece raved about the books for ages, but I just didn’t listen. Then the movie came out, and I was all above it, you know? Pfft. I’m too old for this “Twilight” stuff. I practically lorded it over everyone who gushed about the film.

Embarrassing. Now I have to eat my words, because, hello! I loved it!! And Edward! Oh, Edward. He is the hottest vampire since Spike, that’s for sure. True, a little on the youngin side for me, but I checked, and the actor is only a few years my junior. Besides, I’m not in love with the actor, I’m just hearting on the character. And he’s been 17 for longer than I’ve been alive, so it’s cool. People would just think I’m an intro-coug.

This going-on-for-12-hours-now love affair does raise an interesting issue, however (and yes, I mean BESIDES the fact that he’s not real). Apparently, I am also attracted to creepers.

Let’s review my list:

Sheldon Cooper: social douhebag

Dean Winchester: even his brother thinks he’s dick

Chuck Bass: complete wanker

Gabriel Gray:  aka Sylar, aka a serial killer

Davis Bloom: aka Doomsday, aka same as above, also killed Superman

and now, Edward Cullen: wild mood swings, sneaks into girls bedrooms at night, and might eat me one day.

Frankly, I’m a little concerned about my well-being. I think I should just concentrate on Sheldon for a while. At least he’s a doctor, and his social douchebaggery is improving with great strides week by week. He probably wouldn’t ever kill me either, which is a huge bonus.

Now if only he were real.
