1. Comment on this post and ask for a letter.
2. I will give you one.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose names begin with that letter, and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
1) Fox Mulder (The X-Files). Oh, Mulder. Snarky yet earnest, completely woo-woo in so many ways, but also practical and matter-of-fact. Plus, you know, HOT. I miss your smirk.
2) Michael Steadman (thirtysomething). I was shamefully addicted to this show. Michael and Hope were *my* couple, and Michael was so angsty, so trying-hard-to-be-grownup, I fell for him from the first episode. He loved Hope and Janie, but he never seemed romanticized to me--he had doubts and fantasies and the occasional resentment. Plus, you know, Elliot to deal with.
3) Monica Gellar (Friends). I do Monica's "I know!" voice all the time. I sort of hate the way they wrote her in the last two seasons -- my Monica isn't so shrill or so controlling, she's the girl who understood her cleaning obsession was a little weird, and kept Richard's drain hair after they broke up, and had to wear flame-retardant boobs to work.
4) Mary Lennox (The Secret Garden). In some ways, Mary's removal to Misselthwaite Manor was a nightmare to contemplate -- no toys! Very few books! What on earth was she supposed to do but be bored and cranky?! (Even in the '70s, there were Afterschool Specials and Barbies and 45s, you know.) Her initial rudeness was also sort of appalling, but fascinating -- I couldn't imagine growing up the way she had in India, having people dress her and cater to her every whim -- so I cheered her on when she discovered Colin and Dickon, and the garden. The ending is as perfect and nearly unbelievable as fairy tales are supposed to be, and I love it, and her, completely.
5) Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty, Disney version). So smoothly, elegantly evil! Such a gorgeous, macabre wardrobe! (I mean, a hood with horns, come on!) She was perfectly, unashamedly evil. I sort of wanted to be her.
