Holden Caulfield
15 Literary Characters We'd Totally Sleep With - Lemondrop.com
Over here, we like all types of men. Sci-fi guys. Chubby men. Even men who aren't real. Like these fictional heartthrobs from our favorite works of literature. We totally recall laying in our beds, curled up with our books, blushing at anything that even resembled sex. Years (or months, in some cases) later, we're still hot for them. Whether they're tragically flawed antiheroes or dashing leading men, these dudes all share one trait: They're timeless pieces of sexy, sexy ass.
15. Dr. Carlisle Cullen, "Twilight." Forget Edward, the everywoman's heartthrob. We want the dad with the ageless features and the medical degree.
14. Jay Gatsby, "The Great Gatsby." We'd seduce him just to see what his opulent, 1920s, dripping-in-money bedroom looked like. Hell, we'd even let him call us Daisy.
13. Mr. Darcy, "Pride & Prejudice." He's got the silent-but-sexy thing goin' on. Plus, when he's rude and standoffish to Elizabeth Bennett, it makes us want to rip that double-breasted coat off his tight little bod.
12. Ned Nickerson, "Nancy Drew." Oh, Ned. You are so clueless yet such a catch. Age about 10 years, then let's get crazy in the back of Nancy's Roadster. She never has to know ...
11. Atticus Finch, "To Kill a Mockingbird." It's Atticus's stick-to-his-guns personality that makes us want him to glower at us from across a courtroom. Plus, post-bang, he'd actually be able to hold an interesting conversation.
10. Heathcliff, "Wuthering Heights." So brooding. So dark. So smoldering sexy. Even if he went all bipolar on us, let's be honest: Crazies are the best in bed.
9. "James Bond." OK, OK. So we'd be just another chick in Bond's harem, but that's fine, The accent. The Aston Martin. The a-hole tendencies. He can double-ohhhh-seven us any day, anytime.
8. Holden Caulfield, "The Catcher in the Rye." So technically having sex with a 16-year-old would be rape, but as soon as the talkative, manic depressive hits legal age, we're so hitting that.
7. Phantom, "Phantom of the Opera." Yes, we'd choose the totally creepy disfigured ghost over boring Raoul any day. Sure, he might frighten us, but at least we'd get to see his dungeon and torture chamber. Which might be fun.
6. Aragorn, "Lord of the Rings." He's a rugged warrior, yet incredibly modest. And with those rugged I'm-even-sexy-when-I-sweat good looks, we'd throw Arwen over a cliff for a piece of that.
5. Gilbert Blythe, "Anne of Green Gables." After an exhausting day of tending to the ailments of the country folk, we'd tend to the all the needs of the dedicated doc. If you know what we mean.
4. Noah Calhoun, "The Notebook." We totally admit we're half-basing this off the movie adaptation starring smokin' hot, shirtless Ryan Gosling. (But, really, can you blame us?) Six words. Make-up sex in the rain.
3. Logan, "Babysitter's Club" series. If we were Mary Ann, heck, if we were any of the babysitters, we totally would've invited Logan over to "help" us babysit after the kids went to sleep.
2. "Macbeth." Romeo = too dramatic. Hamlet = too weak. But Macbeth is all forceful-like. As soon as he had his mind made up he's getting in our pants, he's getting in our freakin' pants. And hello, we'd totally calm those nightmares of his.
1. Rhett Butler, "Gone with the Wind". Frankly, my dear, we don't give a damn ... how many glasses of brandy it takes to get you in bed. You will ravish us the way only a Southern gentleman knows how.

I just bought an amazing pair of suede boots, but the calf size is too big! Does anyone know of a reputable place that will alter suede boots to a smaller calf size? Thanks in advance!! :)
Someone else does not like the loud neighbors besides me. Valentino called me last night to tell me he liked my sign and I told him I didn't make one. He sent me a photo of it and we both agreed that I would have used markers and glitter.

Preview of the Top 2010 Senate Races Permalink
While the Senate is gradually moving towards a health care bill, let's look at the top 2010 Senate races, that is, the seats most likely to change party. First we look at the Democratic seats that might switch (in alphabetical order) then the Republican-held seats, again in alphabetical order. At this point in time, it is much too hard to guess which ones will be the toughest battles. In many cases the two candidates aren't even known yet.

So, I called some middle-aged lady a "bitch" today. Frankly even asserting myself is unusual, let alone saying something like that. I felt bad about it, but... I don't think it was entirely out of line.
Here is what happened and why I said what I did:
After I took my kid to the movie, we went and got a couple of hot dogs. Having acquired food, there were NO tables anywhere, but then Lo! a guy got up and started clearing his stuff. So we moved in, only be told by a woman who was not sitting AT the table, but NEXT TO the table, "we're at this table." I asked: Uh, is someone coming? "No, but, this is our table." Would you mind sharing long enough for us to eat our hot dogs? The response: "Well. We're HERE. At THIS table." And then she turned away. We'd been, you know... *dismissed*. It was that dismissal that pissed me off more than anything else.
So I said "Well then call security, bitch."
And then I hollered at my kid to come back and sit down. Whether she heard what I said or just edited it out as something that nobody could have said to her, I do not know. But only when I hollered for my kid to come back and sit down did she look back at us, with what I am almost certainly imagining, complete fucking horror that we had defied her command.
Awesomely, the Nibby made a huge meal out of his hot dog, and then he wanted to eat my leftover bun bits from my hot dog, and then he wanted to eat the french fries, and oh, oh, oh, I was *loving* every minute of it. Of course she rather pointedly ignored us for every second of it, but pretty much the millisecond I picked up our food containers from the table, she reached under her chair and stuck a bag on the table. Which totally *showed us*. Of course the Niblet had no idea that any of this was going on, he was just enjoying the hell out of a hot dog.
But I feel that I won. And... you know... she was a bitch. I use the term advisedly.
