The Daily Procrastinator

I have, in the past, admitted to a girl crush on Felicia Day (you should, too, especially since the release of Do You Want to Date My Avatar?). But she’s not the only actor from the Whedon world that I have a particular interest in, although she might be the only one who smells like fresh laundry and a cupcake.

I should probably say upfront that I don’t know what it is about Joss, but he attracts actors who seem so… normal. I’m not one of those deranged people who thinks that Sarah Michelle Gellar is really Buffy, or Neil Patrick Harris is actually Dr. Horrible. But if the Twitterings of Whedonites are any indication of their off-screen personalities, he has an amazing ability to attract cool and interesting people. I’d love to go to a Red Sox game with Eliza Dushku. I’d gladly have dinner with Jewel Staite. I’d have Alyson Hannigan and her family over for a low-key cookout (after all, it’s tough to make it through a restaurant meal with an infant). But the person who would leave me jabbering like an idiot is Nathan Fillion.

These are not the hammer.

I’ve been watching Nathan for a while, ever since he appeared on Buffy. I was a fan of Firefly (please tell me that you’ve already watched the series once or twice or more) and I was delighted to see him appear as Captain Hammer in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. I was thrilled to hear that Castle was renewed for a second season. I’m a huge fan of anything that means that I get to watch more Nathan Fillion.

This topic came up recently with a friend who wanted to know who my Free Pass Five were. Hers had Brad Pitt and Derek Jeter. Mine had Nathan Fillion. Much to my surprise, when I mentioned his name, she swooned. “Ooh! Captain Tightpants!” To think, I didn’t even know that she watched Firefly….

So Nathan, if you ever happen to meet a 6-foot-tall woman who babbles incoherently in your presence, say hello. And then maybe invite me out for coffee. I promise that given enough time, I’ll be able to form proper sentences and have a great conversation.

I spent a bit of time clearing out my spam folder tonight, and I’ve tried to piece together a little personality profile based on the emails I’ve received.

I’m rich.  Just this weekend alone, I won more than $27 million ($27,000,000) U.S. dollars through various internet lotteries and the gracious kindness of strangers who have willed me money.  This is far more profitable than my writing gig, and with far less effort.  All I have to do is contact a handful of individuals in various nations, and I’m betting that by the end of the month I’ll be set for life.

I’m cheap.  I have 27 unpaid item disputes on eBay.  How thoughtless of me.  While most just list random auction numbers without detail, some actually give insightful information.  I’ve evidently been bidding on everything from cars to — quite inexplicably — vintage Barbie dolls.

There’s irony.  Someone wants to teach me how to make millions on eBay.  Evidently they haven’t seen my track record of 27 unpaid items.  And I’m personally captivated by, “I hope you find my information helping you.”  Indeed I do.

I’m small.  It appears that in addition to everything else in my life, I have a very small penis.  Unusually small.  So small that I am unable to satisfy women.  ”Be the man she really wants.”  You mean without gender reassignment surgery?  This puts my crush on Felicia Day in a whole new light, doesn’t it?

I hope that this personality profile helps you to learn a little bit more about the person behind the TallGirl persona.
