Pash, Pick or Pass: The Hardest Week Yet

Time to play Pash, Pick or Pass (a.k.a. Date, Do or Ditch) - a weekly game I feature where we pick from a random book trio and say who we'd pash (and dash), who we'd pick for a relationship and who we'd pass on all together. I've brought back the linky this week because there was interest in it last week, so feel free to create your own posts and link up!

The Contenders

You guys, I don't know why I did this to myself. Or to you. I wanted to come up with three really great, romantic guys. I think I did. But it's not going to be easy. This week the contenders are...

Etienne St Clair from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (played by Tom Sturridge in my head)

Noah Calhoun from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks (played by Ryan Gosling in the movie adaptation)

Adam Wilde from If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman (played by Darren Criss in my head)

Seriously. How do you choose out of those three?! I'm going to try...

My Choices

Pash: Etienne. All that sexual tension in Anna totally made me swoon. I'd pash the French kissin' shizz out of him.

Pick: Noah. Who could resist his lifelong devotion, grand gestures and ability to love? Not me.

Pass: This really pains me to say, but Adam. I had to whisper it so it didn't reach his ears. Nobody tell him, 'kay? Coz I still love him. His whole messed up period just makes him slightly less desirable than the other two. I mean slightly as in the slightest tiniest smidge of a bit. But still, I had to pass on someone. Uh, that hurt.

Who would you pash, pick and pass out of these three lovely romantics? No cheating (you have to pass someone. Really).

Next week: We take a trip through Wuthering Heights and choose between Heathcliff, Edgar and Hareton.

Search Me: Pantless Alex Pettyfer, Shirtless Ian Somerhalder and, Erm, Hagrid

This is probably a bit sad, but one of the things I love about blogging is seeing what searches people do to find my blog. I don't know why, but it amuses me no end, and makes me feel somewhat better about the random things I type into Google. So when one of my fave blogs, ...in the Attic (check it out for lots of V.C. Andrews awesomeness), recently featured a hilarious post on search term shenanigans, I thought it would be fun to do one myself.

Now, if you could guess what the number one incoming search term OF ALL TIME is for my blog, what would it be? I'll give you a hint...

Yeah. It's Hagrid. WTH?! Not that I've got anything against Hagrid - in fact, I love him, as I said the ONE TIME I mentioned him on this blog. I don't get how something I've only mentioned once - all of ten days ago - could be the most popular way people find my blog in the history of this blog. Who'd have thought Hagrid would be so dang popular?

Something that doesn't surprise me as much - and that I'm actually rather proud of - is that after Hagrid, and "Princess Bride Westley"(holla!), the most popular search term is "Ian Somerhalder Shirtless". My job here is done. I'm, like, totally contributing to the greater good of humanity. Or something. Anyhoo, I'm certain that the reason this search directs people to my blog is because of the fangirling in my review of Stefan's Diaries - but that's no reason not to post more shirtless Ian Somerhalder. Just giving the people what they want.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find that if you google "Adam Wilde", my blog comes up on the first mother lovin' page of results (as does Missie's - YAY for My Book Boyfriend). But I was rather less pleasantly surprised to discover that Adam Wilde is not just a gorgeous character in If I Stay and Where She Went - he's also a real-life gay porn star. I wonder if Gayle Forman knew this when she named him? So, er, if you came here looking for porn - sorry, this isn't the place for you. No judgement or anything. Just move along you dirty, dirty perv.

Speaking of dirty pervs, the most random award goes to the searcher looking for "pictures of Alex Pettyfer taking his pants off". Now, while I've posted a picture of Alex on the loo, I've never actually seen one of him taking his pants off. Pants-less, yes. But not in the process of taking them off. So this will have to do...

Finally, to the two people who searched "fuck yeah Mila Kunis", there's not much to say except...
