You are welcome.
Um…I don’t even know how to start talking about this. I wish I was like, 15 years old so that at least I could blame my behavior on my age, but I’m not so here it goes: Fangirling is so much fun.
I have a 14 year old sister and man, is it fun to gush about Darren Criss with her. For realz (yes, I spelled it with a “z”). Our conversations essentially consist of variations of the sentence “I can’t even”. What that “even” is, I don’t know. I’m assuming that it is the part of my brain where rational thoughts are controlled.
Too cute.
How am I supposed to find the future-father-of-my-children when I am over here flailing over Michael Fassbender (and his other across-the-pond cohorts)? Case in point: I had dinner with my BFF a few a weeks ago, and during said dinner we were supposed to be watching Jane Eyre. We did eat, but we only watched the movie when Mr. Rochester came on-screen…good times.
This is too much. Swooning overload. You are welcome.
I’m sure a lot of you, my lovely readers, have Tumblrs. The ability to track certain tags (*cough* Ryan Gosling *cough*) was invented by Satan. It’s better than Google Images. Why? Because other Tumblrites find all the good pictures (and GIFs and interviews) of so-and-so and post them. Essentially, you only get handpicked results from people who share the same obsession as you. That’s why you can endlessly scroll through the tag until you realize that you’ve been sitting in the same position and staring at your computer screen for two hours… oops.
It may sound like I’m not down with fangirling, but I am so for it. Embrace it. I don’t think that fangirling would have any consequences for the world…with the exception that we’d all have reasons to procrastinate. Here are the reasons why you should do it anyway:
1. They’re so handsome. Why wouldn’t you want to look at their pictures?
2. It’s so much fun. Am I right? Let us have our cake.
3. Just do it, I mean, why not? Just for an hour or two.
4. It’s fun to talk about guys like you’re 15 again. Ahhh…to be young and carefree.
It’s harmless, so fangirl as much as you want. If you start making plans to break into someone’s house, however, it might be time to draw the line. That’s “stanning” (stalker+fan= stan) and it’s illegal. Thankfully, I haven’t reached that point yet, nor will I ever (I hope). It’s fun to project all the things I want in a guy onto a celeb’s handsome face, but trust me when I say this, I am watching my surroundings for my Disney prince with an eagle eye.
I want to hear from you. Who makes you question your sanity? Did you miss the plot of a movie because you were too busy thinking about how handsome X is? Leave me a name in the comments section below (trust me, I will Google Image search that) or send me a picture on my Twitter, I have no problem losing my “even” a little more. Let’s have us a nice fangirling session.

I’m totally with you on Darren Criss. I’ve never been one to have celebrity crushes, but OMG. I love him so much. xD
Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds) and Darren Criss (duh).
There are so many guys in this world to fan girl about that it’s just not possible put them all here hahaha. Jonathan Rhys Meyers from The Tudors, everyone in McFLY -but especially Harry Judd, Jared and Caleb Followill (follow you, I will lol) from Kings of Leon, Jamie Campbell Bower, Chris and Liam Hemsworth and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are totally worth my time.
Wentworth Miller. And Zac Efron, I know, I know.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt always makes me smile. Ryan Gosling…yummmm….Jared Leto. And, for some reason I am so insanely attracted to Max from Roswell…I don’t know what it is! Honestly, I think it’s the fact that whenever I look at him I see a hot alien (yes, I know he’s really human duhh.) But, I guess I’m really attracted to hot human-looking aliens. No, I don’t guess. I know this for a fact. I have had conversations about how great a hot alien boyfriend would be. Like Max…*swoon*
Omg Tumblr indeed is the devil! But I cannot get myself to pry away!! Im addicted, and I am in love with Jimmy Fallon! I mean, looks and that personality, I can die! I got to attend a taping of Late Night in March, he signed my book, and shook my hand and said I was sweet, we met eyes, he’s so tall…OMG ULTIMATE FANGIRLING for like a month!! Lol!
Fangirling is simply the best! I’m so glad that all you agreed with me! I’ve really enjoyed Google Image searching some of these names! Like I said before, most of them I already knew because, well, I am that big of a fangirl, however I did get some new faces!
I pretty much fangirl over Eoin Macken.
Hmmm. Let’s check that tumblr list…
Jackson Hurst (Drop Dead Diva), Sam Witwer (Being Human), Gabriel Mann (I love Nolan on Revenge), David Tennant and Matt Smith (of Doctor Who fame)… Charlie Hunnam (ohhh gosh don’t get me started on him in Nicholas Nickelby). Amen to Matthew MacFadyen. And for my strange tastes as well… Jim Parsons, Josh Radnor, Michael Weatherly, and my middle school self still loves Nick Carter.
It’s all about Douglas Booth. Even his name sounds sexy. Booooooootthhhhh
Plus he’s my age <3 I'm definately in with a shot! Now all I need to do is find out whereabouts in London he lives and then just camp outside his front door forever until he has to angrily shout at me to leave him alone. Or maybe in a world where good things happen he will invite me in for a cup of tea and we will live happily ever after
I'm also stalking pictures and videos of Dave Franco (James' little brother), arguably the hottest Franco sibling.
I’ve been told I have strange taste… I LOVE Jason Segel. The more I hear him on tv and radio, the more I love him.
Matthew MacFadyen!I never pay attention to anything when he’s on the screen
James Franco. His looks AND his brain. Sigh.
Love this!! Tumblr is seriously perfection for fangirls. It’s like the home country we never knew we had!
Fassbender. Yes.
Steve Zahn anyone???? I LOVE THIS GUY! Giovanni Ribisi! HOLLA! Oh and my long time obsession with Johnny Depp, but that’s a given for female kind. Jason Priestly, James Marsden, Edward Norton, Ewan McGregor. I could keep the list going and going I’m sure. Better cool it for now though.
See, I thought I was going to have to do some Google Image searching, but I didn’t have to. I mean, I’ve fangirled over all of these guys at some point or another. Hahahaha! I’m so glad that you guys liked the article!
Umm hello, Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins. (Texas Forever, No Regrets.) We’re the same age, so I don’t even feel weird about it. And also Dave Grohl, because I have loved him ever since Nirvana when I was legit fangirl age and will probably continue to do so for the remainder of my adult life. Good times.
I feel like this entire article accurately described my life.
I’d have to agree with Lisa.
