Spell “chrysanthemum.”
Gilbert Blythe, do you need a
personal tutor?
I wanted to be Anne of Green Gables when I was younger. Not only did she have freckles and loved to write like I did, but also she had wild, red hair and lived on Prince Edward Island — a place I have yet to visit, but it would be on my bucket list, if I ever wrote one. Personality-wise, I more closely resembled her “bosom friend,” Diana, but secretly I wanted to be Anne. I was also infatuated with Gilbert Blythe. I even vied for “Gil” as one of our boys’ names, but it was vetoed.
Is there a fictional character you once had a crush on?
Sweet! My poem was chosen as the winner for Haiku Friday on Osler’s Razor. Check out the awesome “bio” that the esteemed law prof wrote for me: http://oslersrazor.blogspot.com/2011/09/winner-winner-chicken-dinner.html
Well, Gil is the most important one, but I’ve had others and *ahem* they may have been as an adult. There’s James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Frasier from Outlander, and there’s good ol’ Eric Northman from the Sookie books.
