Nathan Fillion. I don’t hold illusions that he is like his character on Castle, though I kind of wish he was. This one is almost entirely based on how awesome his twitter account is.
Mindy Kaling. And her blog is awesome. And I just read an undisclosed amount of her book at Barnes and Noble and sincerely thought about buying it for a friend but also because the I could read it before I gave it to her (I’m kind of poor, or at least poor enough that the only way I could justify buying it was by buying it for someone else, but I ultimately decided that it would have been not as heartfelt and indicative of our friendship so I’m continuing my search for a better birthday present and will either go back to B&N to finish it or buy it for my kindle). I actually did that with I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. It turned out he already owned it so now I just have it. It sits among things like The Things They Carried and Eat Pray Love because I felt it went with those memoir-y kind of books but this is definitely a, “One of these things is not like the other!” situation. Don’t worry, I’m suitably ashamed of owning that book.
Jason Segal: because we went to go see “The Muppets” this afternoon and he co-wrote it and it’s adorable and awesome! And now we’re going to have a Muppets marathon sometime soon. And I secretly hope that he is kind of like his character in, “I Love You, Man.”
Zooey Deschanel. Because I love the way she dresses. And it would irritate my boyfriend (he dislikes her because he vehemently dislikes her character in “(500) Days of Summer.” Also I like her new show, even if I have to watch it on my own because, “It’s too vadge-y.”
Edit: Also Amy Poehler. And Stephen Fry.
