Me: So who would go on your list?

Him: I was thinking Kate Beckinsale.

Me: Oh, good [...]]]> In the planning stages of my list (I’m a Ross, what can I say) I brainstormed with a friend of mine. The conversation we had illustrates our goal here today quite well:

Me: So who would go on your list?

Him: I was thinking Kate Beckinsale.

Me: Oh, good call. She’s hot. But she always seems a little … flighty … in interviews.

Him: Uh, we’re not making a list of 5 celebrities we want to grow old with here.

Ah, excellent point, nameless internet friend. With that in mind, I made my list, waffled a LOT, and then changed my mind. My husband and I have spent countless nights mulling over and razzing each other about our respective lists, but we’ve never settled down on a Final Five. This, my friends, is a list 10 years in the making. Is this the same as laminating it? Because if you ask me in a week, it might look completely different. I am a fickle, fickle girl.

1. John Krasinski

Duh. If you aren’t watching The Office, start watching it right now. This dude makes goofy look hot. Or does he make hot look goofy? Regardless, he’s got an endearing charm about him. Also, he’s tall. Tall is my favorite.

2. Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Also tall. NOT goofy. I’m a complete sucker for the scruffy lumberjack type. Another bonus: his characters are always dead. Izzy got it on with Ghost Denny, and that is TOTALLY not cheating. Seriously, I shouldn’t even have to use a spot on him, with the deadness, but I’m going to play nice and do so anyway.

3. Taye Diggs

Not tall, but sweet golly hot potato, that is one beautiful man.

4. Zooey Deschanel

She rocks my socks in anything she does, is remarkably quirky, and just seems cool in her own skin. Definitely my top girl crush of the moment.

5. Nathan Fillion

Bam, said the lady. I have had a thing for him since he was Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live. Which was probably inappropriate because I think I was 12 at the time. But, dude! I’m totally legal now. Tweet me!

So who’s on your list? Join up on the Mr. Linky (with your permalink, please) and make us wish we’d picked your five. If you don’t have a blog, share in the comments!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk. Err … reviewing your submissions.
