It is actually pretty strange that I am putting these boys up as "dream boyfriend" material, but I can't help it. It's also strange because they are brothers.
Fred and George Weasley would be so awesome to date. I mean think about it. They joke around all the time, but I'm sure they can be serious when the situation calls for it. I'm currently rereading the Harry Potter series and I'm becoming more and more aware of how much I love both Fred and George's characters. They're two guys that I would love to hang out with. I wouldn't even mind dating either one of them! Haha!
Anyways, sorry for such a short post and sorry for taking so long on posting. My semi-busy life seems to like to get in the way of things!

Fictional Boyfriend #53
Hmmm ya know, I actually was kinda nervous to put this as one of my boyfriends on the list, but I can't help it. I really love Raf from Bras & Broomsticks... but I guess I really really started to like him in Frogs and Frenchkisses. I haven't finished the series yet, but I think it is really sweet because he actually geniunely cares for Rachel!! I mean when he still shows up to her house after she messes up the entire fashion show shows that he really does like her. I was like "Awwww" because he was seriously so hurt when Rachel accidentally stood him up the night of Spring Fling. I honestly recommend this book to any of you. It reminded me of my freshman year to a certain point and Rachel is hilarious!! It's totally fun to read (:
And then because of a love spell gone wrong, Will, Raf's older brother, loves Rachel and Rachel goes with it because her reputation is restored plus she thinks Will is a good kisser. When she runs into Raf, he gets upset almost every time, trying to just shrug it off and act like he isn't hurt, but he so is. And it is extremely cute!!! I can't wait to finish this series!!

Fictional Boyfriend #52
Before I begin this post, just know that I am going to spoil this book. I don't care. This is my blog and I think this is probably one of the best endings of a book that I have ever read in my life.
Shiver has now become one of my most favorite books of all time. I recommend it to EVERYONE. I don't care what your preference in book is... this one has left me completely blown away.
Sam is amazing. I think he is a perfect boyfriend. Haha I'm not going to lie. This guy has it all. He smells amazing, he knows the right things to say, he composes his own lyrics, he's good-looking, he reads books (HUGE plus in my book :P), etc. Also, there's the fact that he's a werewolf. Now you can be like me and be happy that these creatures don't exist. I mean I would rather have a human boyfriend will all these qualities instead of a werewolf boyfriend or vampire boyfriend because I would always be afraid to lose them. I know the human boyfriends that are semi-perfect don't happen very often, but then again, how often do werewolf and vampire boyfriends? Haha :P I'm just messing with you girls out there that love these characters.
But I'm not going to lie. Sam is amazing. Whether he's a wolf or a human.
The candy scene was probably my favorite scene in the book. Sam takes Grace, the girl he's in love with, to the candy store in his hometown and has her close her eyes and just smell the store. He tells her to think of each individual smell so that she can end up loving it all. And Grace comments on how they look like the picture perfect cute couple and I think that would be a fantasy that many of us would like. I mean seriously? Candy stores are awesome and Sam is a genius for taking her there.
Maybe I should state how Sam and Grace came to be Sam and Grace :P
So Grace was attacked by a pack of wolves (later to find out they are werewolves) and then Sam, who she figures out quickly has unique yellow eyes, doesn't let the wolves keep feeding on her. He pulls her out of there and makes the rest of the pack leave her alone. From then on, he always watches her from a distance. In the winter, he watches her as a wolf and then in the summer, he works at the bookstore and watches her when she walks in to there. He is always hoping that she will recognize his yellow eyes.
Then Sam gets shot by these hunters that are trying to lessen the wolf population of the woods and he turns into a human again... although the winter is quickly approaching. This is very out of the ordinary. Grace helps him and they end up falling even more in love with each other, but this time it's right. They both get to love each other when they are BOTH human :P Haha
I'm going to post the end of the book now. I know that is HORRIBLE, but honestly, this moved me in to thinking about how much I LOVE this book.
For those of you who have read this book, yay cuz I sure hope you love this part as much as I do.
"She froze. Perfectly still, like a deer. I kept approaching, making hesitant, careful prints in the snow, until I was out of the woods and I was standing right in front of her.
She was as silent as I was, and perfectly still. Her lower lip shook. When she blinked, three shining tears left crystal tracks on her cheeks.
She could've looked at the tiny miracles in front of her: my feet, my hands, my fingers, the shape of my shoulders beneath my jacket, my human body, but she only stared at my eyes.
The wind whipped again, through the trees, but it had no force, no power over me. The cold bit at my fingers, but they stayed fingers.
'Grace,' I said, very softly. 'Say something.'
'Sam,' she said, and I crushed her to me."
That is the most beautiful ending ever. Here I was, gearing myself up for this intense goodbye scene between girl and wolf. I mean the whole leaving prints in the snow thing had me sitting there, tears pooling in my eyes, thinking about how much I was going to hate this book since he was going to still be a wolf and the "cure" wasn't going to work. And then he takes my breath away as he approaches her, human. And you know what? I still bawled my eyes out.

Fictional Boyfriend #51
Wow I am DUMB. I never added Michael to this list from the Princess Diaries.
First off, I'd like to say that I want to remove JP from this list. After reading the tenth book, I am NOT happy I added him to my list. UGH. Okay the rest of this is going to contain major spoilers because I need to rant on J.P. and then go on and on about Michael and you would only know this stuff if you read the tenth book.
J.P. is a douchebag. He is a HUGE douchebag. I can't ... well I can believe it, but still. I CAN'T believe how he was using Mia the WHOLE time. I mean that shows dedication. But the thing that pisses me off the most is how he slept with Lilly and then lied to Mia, saying that he was saving himself for someone he loved. Um excuse me. Poor Lilly cuz she got used too and poor Mia cuz she was dumb enough to believe him.
Michael... ah Michael. He waited. He waited ALL that time just to see and be with Mia. I was in romance heaven my friends. When he was telling all that to Mia, I nearly died. It was the cutest stuff ever. Kudos Meg Cabot for once again capturing my heart with your characters. I mean the little ride in the horse buggy? So many guys would NOT do that. Haha I was almost kind of sad that "Mia" didn't write down some details about her and Michael having sex :PPP But whatever. Let's keep it PG-13 I guess :P
Oh!! Alright so this girl Michelle left me this message:
Haha. I Love Your Blog. Genius Idea Really. I Found The Link Off Of Meg Cabot's Blogs. She Mentioned You In Passing:)Anyway, I Just Thought I Would Recommend A Book To You. It's A Trilogy Really But I Actually Loved The First Book Best. (Not That The Rest Aren't Amazing.) I'm Babbling. Anyway, There Called The Mortal Instruments Trilogy. The Books Themselves Are Called City Of Bones, City Of Ashes, And City Of Glass. I Want You To Read Them Because I'm Dying For Jace To Get His Entry In Your Blog. Haha. I Dont Wanna Ruin Too Much Of The Book If You Decide To Read It So I Wont Say Anything Else:)
I'd just like to ask you Michelle if Meg Cabot specifically mentioned my blog or it was just some random link that you happened to click on that was attached to her site. I was freaking out when you read this, so PLEASE let me know (hopefully you actually read this :P).
And thank you for saying such nice things about my blog XD That made my day and I am looking into buying the Mortal Instruments Trilogy. Another girl recommended them to me, and one recommendation is always enough for me, so two is like hitting the jackpot!!
And Watching, you are my favorite person on this website :P Just to add another shout out :P

Fictional Boyfriend #50
Yay! I made it to 50! That's quite the shock.
Today I wanted to add Aihara from Kimikiss- Various Heroines. Honestly, this manga really confuses me! Aihara is the main guy from all of them, but in each different volume, he is with a different girl falling in love with them. I'm just a bit confused.
Aihara, in each volume that I've read so far, is portrayed as a kind, considerate, and compassionate young man. He is always looking out for the girl that he has his eyes set on and ends up loving her.
In the first volume, he was in love with one of his childhood friends. She was supposed to teach him how to be popular and how to get a girlfriend. They ended up kissing as practice. It was so cute because Aihara kept asking Mao (the girl) to give him kissing lessons. She eventually caught on. The twist was that it was also Mao's first time being with someone. So this proves his cuteness :P
In the second volume, Aihara helps Asuka train for soccer. She's on the team (on the boy's team actually since there wasn't a girl's soccer club at their school) and needed help perfecting a move. Asuka falls behind in her studies and Aihara helps tutor her as well as cheer her on at her game. This proves him to be considerate and helpful :P
In the third volume, Aihara accidentally kisses a girl named Mitsuki. Mitsuki is pretty much a loner because she is shy, but is absolutely amazing. Her talent in music amazes Aihara. He first heard it when he went to go apologize for kissing her (they ran into each other). They become quick friends. After confessing at dinner that Aihara had feelings for Mitsuki, he finds out that Mitsuki is pledged to be married to this other man who is wealthy. Mitsuki herself is extremely wealthy and noble, so that's why there was an arranged marriage at birth. Mitsuki also lets Aihara know that he is the only one she has feelings for though etc. At the end, Mitsuki's dad decides to not go through with the marriage... or was it the fiance saying no? I don't remember :P This proves his kindness (:
So far I am reading the fourth and can't really do a post on it since I haven't finished.
I recommend Kimikiss to those of you who love manga!!

Fictional Boyfriend #49
It has been so unbelievably hard for me to actually read and blog. It's rather depressing if I do say so myself. My aunt gave me this stack of books that includes all these classics. I'm sorta weary on reading them because I don't know how long I'll be interested in that one particular story. Plus, I've been on this site called Booksie a bunch because I'm actually writing my own stories now and putting in them what I want, which is actually a nice thing (also powerhungry since I can make sure that my main guy in the story does what I want him to and I just find it nice to be able to have him as complete perfection according to me). Besides just writing my own stories, I read some of them too from other people. I'm honestly really tempted to start writing about those characters and providing a link to get to that story if anybody would be interested to read their work. I actually have no intention of promoting them, so don't think that this is all just to get you to read something that totally sucks. I meet random people on that website and am continuously blown away by their talent.
I was also thinking about starting another blog on reviewing books because I tend to do that on my blog anyways. It seems to me that I have been getting farther and farther away from describing the guy. I don't know... it's just a thought for now.
On to the guy. Well I decided to pick Newland Archer from The Age of Innocence. I really liked this character, despite the ending. He was a complete romantic at heart. But that seemed to be the poor guy's problem... I believe that he was more in love with the dream of being in love then the actual reality of being in love.
He got engaged to this one chick, May, who he thought was just absolutely perfect for him. She had a great reputation and is actually really beautiful in a young sort of way. He was absolutely convinced that he loved that girl. Haha was he sooo wrong. Besides the fact that he fell in love with someone else, May was just boring for him. He decided to steal a kiss from her when no one was looking and she actually freaked out. Dude, I know how people didn't really kiss or do anything really affectionate back then, but PLEASE. She claimed that she was so in love with him too... Pathetic really.
The woman Archer ended up falling in love with was Ellen, this lady who escaped her husband in Europe because he continuously cheated on her. He was a count and obviously had lots of money and her whole family wanted her to stay with him to avoid scandal. But Ellen was a smart girl and did NOT go back to him... She stayed with her family and part of that family was going to be Archer. Ellen's cousin was May. Ahh that romance was short lived, although he loved her for the rest of his life. There wasn't a day that passed that he didn't think about being with Ellen. I was actually really shocked when May announced her pregnancy and that made Archer have no way out. It wasn't until she died that Archer could pursue his fantasy.
Even after he went with his now adult son to visit, he didn't go in to see her. He simply told his son to go inside and he left. It was just too hard for him I guess. I didn't really understand the ending... But I mean it was just so sad because the whole time you are rooting for him to get rid of boring old May. The sad thing was was that May knew he was in love with Ellen the whole time.
Sorry about basically giving a summary of the book again... I just can't help myself. It was a good book though.
To sum things up about Archer, he made the list because of his romantic heart and just want for a real chance at love. That's the only thing that he really wanted and would make his life complete. Then he just dealt with the loss of it. Pretty depressing.

Fictional Boyfriend #48
Next guy comes from Vampire Knight. His name is Zero (:. So I really love Zero. I know how they make Yuuki end up with Kaname, but I was so torn between the two. Zero is just like (well kinda) Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket. He doesn't show his love for Yuuki until it really is too late. He's mean to her, but really only to protect her and himself. He doesn't think he deserves to be with such a great girl and everything like that. I dunno. I'm just a huge fan of him and a lot of that has to do with Kyo since he reminds me so much of him. ^^
<3 Kyo and so that means <3 Zero because they are SO much alike!
I'm so sorry this post was short. I'm exhasuted, but noticed that my blog needed yet another update, so I updated. (: Next one should be a little longer.
PS~ Those of you who have watched the anime, isn't it sooo scary that little Level E boy's eyes? OH my gosh those people are SCARY!!

My next post is actually based on the anime instead of the manga. I didn't read the manga after my friend told me not to since it wasn't finished because, tragically, the author died.
Itazura na Kiss proved to be an AWESOME anime, in my opinion ^^. It was pretty close to Fruits Basket (also an opinion) and is so cute etc. I'm picking the lead guy, which is pretty obvious, who's name is Naoki Irie. To tell you the truth, he is a huge jerk. He is constantly thinking he's better than other people, especially those who are stupider than he is. He's at the top of his class at almost everything (at least while he was still in high school). Kotoko, the lead girl in the story, writes a love letter for him and then decides to give it to him (during their final year of high school). He rejects it, telling her he doesn't even want it. You see, Naoki was in class A while Kotoko was in class F. They weren't really able to socialize properly because the smart kids always looked down on the ... er... academically challenged ^^.
Kotoko and her father end up moving into the Irie family's mansion because their own home collapsed. It was like Kotoko was being given a second chance.
MAJOR SPOILERS!!!
After they FINALLY marry after Naoki put Kotoko through everything he did (making her feel stupid all the time, hiding his true feelings of actually loving her and stuff), Naoki changes to become a little more loving. He is still somewhat of a jerk, but towards the end of the series he becomes an absolute sweetheart and it is clear that he just adores Kotoko. There were times that I hated him, but overall I loved him to pieces. It made me want to jump into my own anime *blushes*.
Anyways, I liked how Naoki would secretly kiss Kotoko, like a time when they were in the woods while visiting Romance Village or something (it's really only a housing community). She fell asleep reading a magazine on how to woo the boy you love and he stumbled across her and kissed her softly. She didn't ever find that out, but the watcher finds out when Naoki's younger brother blurted it out (since he saw the whole thing when he went searching for Kotoko). He blurted it out to reassure his mother that Naoki loves Kotoko and not this other girl (which was being set up as an arranged marriage). Anyways, please watch this series if you have ANY interest in its plot that I so crudely described to you. (:

Anti-list? No way would he be considered a boyfriend of your dreams!!
Do you ever have times where you hate a boy in a book (well any character, but specifically a boy since this is a BOYfriend list XD) that you are reading or you don't think the main chick character should have ended up with that doofus, but with this other guy? That happens to me pretty rarely, but when it does, I get really infuriated. It's like you want to take the author by the throat and shake him or her!! Haha maybe not that extreme, but you get the picture.
The reason I ask this is not because the book I just finished included a girl that ended up with the wrong guy. At first, I thought oh she messed up and stuff like that. But then I thought of the whole concept of the story and realized how I can't even include him on this list because he's a technical pedophile. The person I'm talking about is Humbert who stars in the book Lolita. Lolita is about a man who moves in with a widow and her daughter. He falls in love with the daughter, twelve at the time (ick!!) and does his best not to show this love in front of the mom. Well sooo the mom ends up taking her daughter to a summer camp and leaves a letter to Humbert, telling him that he either leaves her house or stays and marries her because she is hopelessly in love with him. After much consideration, guess what he does!!
He STAYES AND MARRIES HER!! How disgusting is that? The whole reason he married this poor lady is for her daughter. So then his wife finds this diary of his and ends up realizing that all he wants is her kid, which she really doesn't even like all that much, and gets so angry (you would too :P). She's so angry, in fact, that when she goes to put the mail in the mailbox across the street, she doesn't notice the car that ends up running her over and kills her.
This leaves no obsticale in Humbert's life to obtain the lovely Dolores, aka Lolita to him. So he picks her up from camp and they travel the country together. The rest, if you're interested enough, so for you to find out. Let there be a record though that Lolita seduced Humbert the first night she was out of camp. Humbert didn't resist, but it proves that she is a naughty girl. Her virginity was already gone before she seduced him and she's only twelve!! Crazy stuff let me tell you!! It all happens in the forties and fifties too.
Anyways, he was a character that I constantly felt bad for and always wanted Lolita to stop being a brat and give the man what he wants, but then that would be encouraging rape and all that stuff!!! It was really hard on my emotions, that book. Haha so you see why I can't add him to the list, but I can't even add him to a hate list, although there are some characters that I could gladly place there and be happy about it :P.
