Damn you, Monstre! I was going to call **Hoshi** but you got to her before I did! A plague on your house! A plague! Other than my poor, poor Hoshi, I’d have to say \*\* Rachel Green\*\* from Friends. I love sweet girls. \*\* Ezri Dax\*\* from ST: DS9 too… _sigh_ ---

Phoebe Buffay from Friends. I mean she’s a masseuse ferchristssake. I also like that she’s spacey, I can’t help it…I’m that way myself. I also like Lana Lang. She’s just the nicest character (and damned cute) Jackie from That 70’s Show. I’m not really sure why, I guess I"m just a glutton for punishment. ---

I have a tough time with this, as TV folks usually act too stupidly for my tatse (hence I did not answer the first time the thread was up) but I think I have come up with one. Willow Rosenburg. But not the same Will everyone else has mentioned. I want evil Willow, who kills people, smashes buildings and she just delights is her own cool cruelty. I love that. ---

Grace Adler from _Will & Grace_. I know she’s a bit psycho but in that way she reminds me of a serious crush I had as a teen. She’s a live wire. Abbie Carmichael from _Law & Order_. Brains, beauty and poise. Ay yi yi… For the longest time I had a thing for Christine Sullivan from _Night Court_. Sweet, trusting and beautiful. Maybe I just have a thing for lawyers or characters who live with lawyers… 😃 ---

OK, so it isn’t a TV show, but Nicole Kidman’s character in Days of Thunder… wow… just thinking of her… mm mm3 … she just has…“something”… ---

No one has mentioned Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stevens? What the hell is wrong with you people? Jennie Lowell from Kate and Allie (the redhead daughter). And don’t forget Molly Ringwald was on Facts of Life… ---

Marshal Sam Cain from ‘The Young Riders’. He was hot. [http://us.imdb.com/Title?0096732](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0096732) I’m sure there are others, but I can’t think of them right at the moment. ---

Kim from _Sports Night_. Fred from _Angel_. Rory from _Gilmore Girls_ (if she were a little older, or I were a little younger). ---

Willow from BtVS definitely. Of course, you know, before that whole being a lesbian thing though. Stupid writers… ---

Well, I guess I’m in the minority, cause I would much rather date Anya than Willow. Willow is too…well, lesbian, for one, but also she’s…well, you know…um…yeah, like…well, and…geez. (if you can’t tell, I’m _trying_ to do a Willow impression…it doesn’t translate well to the written word.) Anyways, I don’t like how she is too good (except for when she was evil.) Anya has that nice mix of evil, and absolute sexpot. ---

Karen from Will and Grace. Hmm, just found out she’s from Oklahoma City. I frequently find myself attracted to Oklahomans before I realize they are from there.
