My top 10 date wishlist

Seeing that many people are going on about dates these days, and because my last article was about imaginary relationships, I thought I'd follow it up with my list of dream dates (and I felt like treating myself to browsing through nice photos!). If these people did really exist, then I'd definitely like to meet them! I restricted the list to ten people - after all, there are quite a few lovely fictional characters out there. This list is in no particular order.





Aragorn (Lord of the Rings): preferably the Strider version because he's far too clean and tidy when he's king. I liked him when he was still a bit rough around the edges, and still was full of doubts. 







Bard (The Hobbit): I think this needs no explanation. Most of you know what I like about him.





Faramir (Lord of the Rings): Here I prefer the book version because they changed his initial motivation quite a bit in the movies. I think he is a very sweet character.




Auron from Final Fantasy X: Don't judge me. I like him. He is mysterious, has fantastic hair, and is incredibly loyal.





The Holodoc (Star Trek Voyager): No, not Chakotay, not Tom Paris. If I had to choose someone from that crew, I'd choose the doc. I think he would be very loyal, and he is incredibly sweet once you look past his arrogance.




Lara Croft: I didn't say that I'd just choose men! Lara Croft has been part of my life for quite a long time, and she's got a great character.







Malcolm Reed (Star Trek - Enterprise): I don't really know why. I just like him. 





Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean): I think he would make quite a good partner if he ever really was in love with someone. He'd have to stop drinking so much though!







Varia (Xena): Well..... I'm sure she'd be quite interesting. I wouldn't mind dating Xena's version of Athena, but I guess Xena kind of made that impossible........ 


Xena: Not a surprise, is it? Don't tell me you still didn't realize......

    I should also have put Duncan MacLeod and Methos on the list. Especially Methos!

    Haha, awesome list! I definitely second your comments about Aragorn and Faramir. Aragorn was much better when he was just a ranger, scruffy, enigmatic, and full of doubt. The book version of Faramir was a lot "wiser," I guess, and you could see why he wouldn't have fallen for the Ring's allure like his brother. The film version made him rather unlikeable.

    On my list: #1: Thorin (not very surprising), #2: Mr. Thornton from North and South (also not very surprising), #3: Fíli and Kíli, #4: Elrond, #5: Lady Galadriel :)

Kenny Wizz vs Navi vs Ben - Can there be only one #1 Michael Jackson tribute artist?

Last night, I have been to a place called Stevenage to watch a Michael Jackson tribute artist called Ben . He was one of only two UK tribute artists I found interesting and promising enough to spend money on a ticket, transport, and accommodation (it's too difficult to travel back home with public transport at night). Now that I have seen three different Michael Jackson tribute artists in person, I would like to write about what they have in common, what made each of them stand out, and then answer the question: Is there really a number one? Did one of the two UK tributes manage to do something Kenny did not do? If you have read my old writings about Kenny, you know that he's very special (at least to me). I will have a look at their looks, their energy during the performance, the song selection, the costumes, the singing (or lack of it), the moves, the band & the dancers, the overall feel of the concert, and the meet & greet after the shows.

Seeking and finding motivation - It needs to come from within

I have known for a long time that motivation is something that needs to come from within yourself. At least genuine motivation needs to come from within your own soul - it is the only kind of motivation that will last. Even though I have known this, I found (and still find) it very hard to keep myself motivated, to keep the spark within alive, to not let the world and the people in it kill my dreams. As a writer, I also read a lot. Most books are dedicated to other people, or have some sort of acknowledgment page where authors thank people who support them, people who keep them going, people who motivate them, and so on. For a very long time, I have wished I would have people I could use for these pages. I was wondering whom I would dedicate my books to, whom I would thank. But I could only ever think of fictional and/or famous characters. In real life, there is nobody who supports me with my writing and shows a genuine interest in my ideas or progress (of which there isn't that

Why work harder when there's no reward at all?

I am rather demotivated at the moment. Why work harder than other people if other people in the end get more for less work? Two volunteers who work a lot less than I do (also as a volunteer) get taken to see a castle this weekend, while I have to work. One of those two is being taken to the second castle. He's been taken on a day trip before. While I have been here since November and haven't been taken anywhere once. Usually, volunteers work five hours a day. But because I am really committed to the animals, I usually work six hours, often seven or eight (as a volunteer, so it's not like I get any money for extra hours). So I work more, but get less in return. How is that fair? It's just my life. I often put in so much effort into things, but get nothing in return. I feel like giving up. Why be reliable and hard working if it's just taken for granted? Why put in more effort when people who slack get all the rewards and extra attention?
