Perfect Man

"I know she's having a fit/she doesn't like me a bit/no bird of grace will sit on Auntie Grizelda"--Auntie Grizelda, sung by Peter and the Monkees

I hate when I fall in love with a fictional character. The other night I had a vivid dream that Mike Nesmith and I were going to start dating here in Athens. When I woke up, I felt sick so behind E's back I watched a bunch of Monkees episodes on tape (we usually watch the "new" ones together.) I couldn't stop looking at the Nez and of course that sweetie Peter Tork.
Now here's the thing. I'm not in love with the Nez in real life. Only the young him on that TV show. Not even the Nez from the movie Head. Got it? So, let me explain. The perfect man for me, I have decided (this is all fake you know), would have:
The intelligence, innocence and renaissance man appeal of Sam Becket from Quantum Leap;
The sassiness, strength and culture of Indiana Jones;
The sarcastic dry self-effacing humor and cool look of the Nez in the show;
The creativity, quietness, gentleness and quirkiness of Peter Tork (again, from the show.)

And Crazy E wants everyone to know that this is in fact not true. He claims my ideal man would be C-3PO and the Tin Man combined. He's crazy I tell you.

OK so what traits would your ideal match have? Use famous people to illustrate.

Cindy... my respect for you has increased a thousand fold. I have to read your comment again. I can't believe it. Wow. You understand Monkeemania.
Gasp!
I am at a loss for words right now. Excuse me.
By the way Jess was wrong, Mike Nesmith is obviously MY boyfriend!
Yse, his mom did invent Liquid Paper and he is sometimes credited with inventing the music video (although DEVO fights him on this.)
Eddy and I will both now think you are the coolest person alive.
