"We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown."- Arthur Eddington

The only thing I can find out about the artist of this piece is that part of his or her name is Kirby. But the work appeared as the cover of Upside Down by Ron Goulart.

Who do you love? A question of fun.

I stumbled on an old blog post of mine yesterday about all the fictional men that I have fallen in love with and reading it, it seems my tastes have changed a bit in the past couple of years. So for fun. I'm doing it again. Updated and more accurately. And with less than ten men on the list.

5. Finnick Odair (Catching Fire, Mokingjay)-  Clever. Resourceful. He can dance. Dangerous. Charming. Loyal. Able to make snap decisions. Observant. Completely damaged. Able to keep a secret. Knows when to stop keeping those secrets. Strategist.

4. LeStat de Lioncourt (The Vampire Chronicles)- Impetuous. Proud. Curious. Adverturous. Fearless. He can dance. Musician. Well-traveled. Dangerous. Loyal. Seductive. The ultimate bad boy.

3. Set/Seth ( Egyptian Mythology)- Fierce. Powerful. A leader. Schemer. Confident (probably narcissistic). Dangerous. Willing to go for what he wants/deserves and consequences be damned. Silver-Tongued. Lord of the Desert.

2. Howard Roark (The Fountainhead): He knows who he is. Uncompromising in his beliefs. Walks his own path. Intelligent. Driven. Unafraid of the world at large. Unafraid of failure. Able to see to the heart of things. Hard-working. Loyal. Dangerous. Astute.  Thinker. Artist.

1. James Fraiser (Outlander series):  Quite possibly the perfect man. Strong. Well-spoken. Smart. Brave. Loyal. Sexual. Commanding. Knows the value of and when to apologize. Honest. He can dance. Dangerous. Well-traveled. Multi-lingual. Has excellent timing. Protective without being overly possessive. Survivor. Always learning. A reader. Thinker. Family man. Wild. Observant. Alert. Trustworthy. Not afraid to fight. Stubborn to a fault. Inventive. Flexible. Endearing. Passionate.
