Devotion Is My Middle Name
Other than spending my free time plotting to casually meet Craig Ferguson and enchant him so that we would get married the very next month, I read his book (Between the Bridge and the River), google his pictures, and watch him on YouTube.
No, really, I am not that desperate. I don’t spend ALL of my free time thinking about Ferguson, but I do find him very intelligent, funny, and prime eyecandy. Now some will argue that he is 45 and I am 23, but love knows no boundaries…and the man has a tattoo for crying out loud! (It reads: Dulcius ex aspirus, or “sweeter after difficulty.” = Yum!)
The reason for this post is that yesterday I officially joined Glaswegian - The Craig Ferguson Fanlisting, to which I had applied months ago. I am happy I am now an official, certified fan minus the crazy antics that fans normally do. For all we know, I am probably the most sane of all Ferguson’s fans and what I just said in the previous passages confirms this.
Ferguson’s book, Between the Bridge and the River, was to me an exciting existential read that paralleled my own attitudes towards life. It was when I read his book that I was certain Ferguson’s witty intellect on his show was in fact no show, and I enjoyed connecting to his ideas because they were similar to mine.
I like him because he’s quirky and spontaneous and simply funny, and now I will go and celebrate my official ‘fan’ status and that I am the ONLY official Ferguson fan in Jordan. I leave you with this interview he did with Gerard Butler from 300 (aka The 6-Pack Movie):

Ummm…excuse me? Excuse me please? Was this not just a video of (deep breath) GERRY BUTLER?!?!?! Did I not just sit here and drool as I watched this? Am I not slightly feverish now and experiencing tingling sensations and, oh I don’t know, maybe wiping beads of sweat off my forehead? Am I not slightly lightheaded???<br /><br />I cannot explain to you how edible he looks to me right now. Ferguson wasn’t even in my peripheral vision. He is so irrelevant, that it’s kind of like, who? Fergie who? Ferg? F? Huh??<br /><br />Oh my GOD Tololy, I think this is it. I think I finally know who I am supposed to be with.<br /><br />*Swoooooooon*<br />

Breathe, Hal. Breathe.<br /><br />I enjoyed watching this simply because of their accents. Love it.<br /><br />Funny how all native speakers of English across the world mock us Americans and our way of speaking.<br />

HEY! I didn’t say Butler was bad so don’t hate on me Lulu, I appreciate age and maturity and maybe you should too ;)<br /><br />Let me tell you this: In a perfect world, a certain scenario will involve me and Ferguson AND Butler (they’re good friends), a stuffed animal, and hot pink paper.<br /><br />LOL<br />

WOMEN! Ah! :D The only thing missing is Chocolates, but did we actually have one Ms.Hala (aka Ms.Galler JO) commenting! :D<br /><br />Toly, CF and GB OK, understandable, pray what does a stuffed animal and hot pink paper do in such a situation (*imagination run riot*) :-O<br />
