But instead I did crushes.
'Cause a blogger that prefers her fantasy life has lots of them.
So just what qualifies one for Meg's bloggy crushes you say? Without getting too many Pretty Brides pissed off at me, all I'll say is that to make the list, you have to be a blogger with whom I'd like to spend the night with...
at an Irish Pub.
Here they are in no particular order:
Brett Diggs was my first bloggy crush ever. He’s witty, he’s weird and when I found out he does charitable work, it was a done deal. And really, how many people can look that good upside down?
Muskrat – When I first started reading him I had one thought: too conservative. But then I saw that picture of him pissing on an IRS building and my inner rebel was instantly turned on. I'm just trying not to let his new name "Father Muskrat" get in the way of my fantasies.
A Free Man – You know how they say women are attracted to men they see with babies at parks and other public places? Well, this guy posts pics of his beautiful son on his blog, and then every once in a while, you catch a glimpse of him in the pics and realize how attractive he is as well. But come on. Am I that shallow?
Yes, but I still dig his love of indie music. For me that’s everything.
Heinous – His cowboy hat and soul patch make me melt. And the fact that he sometimes gives the finger to his out-of-control neighbors, well, I likes me a guy with chutzpah.

Doug at Taunt Vortex – The guy is so together, so nice, so solid, so reliable. Usually the type of blogger that drives me to read Boing Boing. But I think it has to do with the fact that he can write about selling his house or a plumbing problem and make it work. That’s what they call inner…something or another.
Chris Wood – He’s quite the polar opposite of Doug--but in a good way. You see, he’s a Brit. And because he’s a Brit, he has an accent. And an accent automatically qualifies one for Meg’s crushes. But more than that, the guy is dashing and thrilling and irreverent. Best of all, he has drinking contests with himself. And you know how I like my guys hoppy.
For a Different Kind of Girl – It’s hard to tell, but FADKOG looks like a sexy redhead. But what really gets to me her inner 13-year old boy named Seth who blurts out inappropriate things. I got me one of those, too. His name is Norm.
Immoral Matriarch – In addition to her luscious lips, this girl tells it like it is. Straight. No apologies. She’s the blogger I want to be when I grow up.
The Dude Formerly Known As Unfinished Ramblings – Unfinished Dude first contacted me many months ago with a suggestion on how to get my feed to work better. His advice didn’t work, which was lucky for him because he ended up beating the peace patches off me in the ratings--but he totally deserves it. He’s one funny, kind-hearted guy who has great taste in music and film. And the fact that he plays fantasy football mans him up just right.
Matt-Man – He smokes. He drinks. He wears an earring. He talks about his girlfriend’s monthly cycles and the size of his…. for lack of a better word, penis. All of these appeal to my inner 13-year, Norm. But the guy also has a solid knowledge of history and current events. This of course appeals to the peace patch-wearing part of me.
VE – Several years ago when I was in between relationships the top criterion on my list was that the guy in my future have a sense of silly. This guy has a sense of silly. No one can write a commercial or Deck The Halls With Poison Ivy parody like he can. And though I can't get a close enough look at his picture here, I suspect that he’s got other attributes as well.
But what about Diesel you say?
Yes, Diesel's funny; he's irreverent; he has an inner 13-year old living inside of him. Yes, yes, I know. But Diesel's blog has been nominated for best humor blog in the 2008 Weblog awards. He doesn't need anymore stokes at this time. What he does need are votes. So cast yours for Mattress Police here. You can vote daily.
You can find many of these fine bloggers at Humor-Blogs.
btw, if you're wondering why I have 11 on my top ten list, it's because top ten lists are so lame ( told you, that 13-year boy gets loose a lot).
