1. If you could have any single superpower/magical talent/psychic ability, what would you want and why?
A Claire Bennet ability. That'd be useful. I could be more reckless and have all the kinds of fun I want. Plus, as a writer, I could try out the character deaths for more autenticity in writting. ( I know, it's creepy that I've thought about it.) Plus I'm terrified of.. not of dying, but being dead, as in... no more consciousness. Creepy. I want to always know, and always know more.
Also, since I was a kid: telekinesis. I have always dreamed of tidying up shit while doing the lotus on my bed. :P
(See? Thought through from an early, early age. I was very lonely and bored as a child.)
2. If you could change one tangible fact about the world or humanity (the color of the sky, the strength of gravity, number of moons, which gender(s) give(s) birth, what Cherry Cola tastes like, where Iceland is located, etc) to try and make the world a better place, what would you change, and why do you think it would help?
I may be super stupid, and I just realized it's been used on Twilight sort of... and, it may or may not help. (Could be one of those allegedly genius ideas that start wars)
Can you imagine being in conflic or misunderstanding with someone, and you can TELL it's all because they don't get what you mean or that you're getting frustrated because you can't understand what they mean?
It could be inspired by La Nuit Des Temps by Barjavel, a master, but I'm thinking of a way, a device or a talent... You grab the person's hand and you can project what you mean. Or how you feel. Or the logic behind what you're saying.
One: less misunderstanding.
Two: No more Sheldon moments when you are just flabbergasted by the incredible slowness of everone's minds (when they are just, in fact, thinking in a different patern than you).
3. If you could invite three fictional characters to your next birthday party, who would they be?
Hm... I'm thinking this quickly. But I think it'd be fun to have Tony Dinozzo, Dean Winchester and Richard Castle in the same place.
Movie reference war!.... Annnd, GO!
4. If you could choose to have become interested in one thing (an activity, a subject, a future, a fandom, whatever) earlier than you did in reality, what would it be?
Hm. It's a toss up. If I'd had computers earlier, I would have probably opted to study in that field, which would have had the fortunate side effect of putting me on the 'welcome immigrants' list of both the USA and Australia. Which would mean that I'd be in the sun, right now. And happy.
OR.... If I'd known internet earlier, thus found fanfiction, thus developped the writting bug earlier, I'd probably have oriented my studies differently.
5. If you could perform a single action or deed with complete impunity (you automatically succeed, no consequences to yourself, no one ever knows it was you) what would you choose to do?
Hm... If I wasn't so poor, I'd probably say something good. Like... you know, taking drastic action that corrects injustice in the world, or make a bad regime fall, but that's completely illegal? Something like that. You know, Leverage like, but I'm not *that* good.
But since I'm broke, I'm gonna say I'd become a billionaire and be set for a while. Save me a bunch of stomach aches.
6. Did you believe in the bogeyman as a kid? If you did, what did he look like. If you didn't, was there something else similar you believed in?
I don't think I did. When I was a kid I liked the dark and used to mack my cousins who were afraid to sleep in it. I'm lucky they don't remember it because I'm not the one who can't realize I'm faling asleep or else I'll have a panic attack.
Hm. I remember at one point when I was like... 5, maybe? I was traumatised by a trailer for a documentary on old school vampire movies. For a month I slept with one arm above my head and the other across my eyes (no access to my neck.). Oo. And then I grew up and was intriduced to Spike. And it all changed. :P
7. If you could bring a single animated character to life, who would it be?
Ahem.
Um... I'll just shut up about the fact that the thing I thought of was Light Yagami or Ryuk and move on without digging further into that creepy corner of my brain...
8. You and any celebrity. It's a date, they have to say yes. Who do you ask and what do you do together?
Oh, damn.
They have to, or they'll want to?
I'm gonna go with the second, because that'd be too sad and I wouldn't want it.
Hm... It's a toss up (what came to my mind immediately. If I too some time to think about it, it would probably be different)
1. Paul Wesley? Because he is hot, after all, and no matter how cliché his tattoo is. He's funny. And, well, not in the perfect couple like one co-star I won't mention.
2. Candice Accola? Cause she's adorable. And the more I learn about her the more I think she a genuinely nice person and be awesome to know.
3. Emma Stone. Because! Emma Stone!!
1. Hm. What do straight guys like to do?
The only things I come up with are soooo cliché that I don't think real people do that. (Like going to a movie and then oh hey, there's a fair right next to the theatre... want to take a walk in it? ugh.)
I need to explain something here. French people don't do dates. We go out, we sometimes go to dinner. But the entire concept of 'taking someone on a date that I sort of planned to impress someone' is completely foreign. Ergo: my references for 'date' come from tv shows I watched when I was twelve.
2. I'm thinking we'd spend an afternoon doing something for charilty. Outside. Maybe habitat for humanity. Or something with Lyme Disease (will have a post about that later). Then go to a nice restaurant I know that's near a national park lake no far from my place, and watch the sun set on the water while we're waiting for desert. :P
3. No clue. A day visiting Paris with a native? Showing her best kept-secret places, maybe? (clubs, restaurants, boutiques and workshops)
9. You have one "Get out of Canon Free" card to change/retcon/rewrite any single plot point of any single show/movie/book. What do you change?
SPN: Cas stays human at the end of S5. Which leads him to stick around with Team Free Will and have all the funniest awkward moments when Dean and Sam have to teach him what it is to be human.
Ex: - "Dean: No, Cas. I will not demonstrate how to use the shower. I explained it to you.
Cas: But If I have a question?
Dean: I'll be right outside. Don-'t-... Don't walk out to ask me. Yell it out."
- "Sam: We need to get him some porn.
Dean: *choke* What?! Who?
Sam: Cas! The poor guy's human now. And he doesn't know how to, um... relieve the tension... you know. The mailman tension.
Dean: Yea! Okay! No more picturing things. I get it.
Sam: So-
Dean: You do it."
-"Cas: But why?!
Dean: Because! That's just the way it is!
Cas: But they're readily available. A lot easier to hunt.
Sam [arriving with burgers]: What are we talking about?
Dean: Cas wants to know why americans don't eat cat.
Sam: .... I'll just... go get the check.
- "Sam: Oh, god Cas, you look like you're trying to look like a Muggle.
Cas: I don't understand that reference.
Dean:[walks in] Oh, god! Why is Cas wearing a hawaiian shirt with a baseball cap and military pants?!
Sam: [covered laughter]
Cas: I thought they were pleasing. They're really confortable.
Dean: Man, we're going to have to have a fashion 101 course. Samantha, you're up!"
- "Sam: This is awesome.
Cas: Thank you.
Sam: Wait... you made this?
Cas: Yes. Dean taught me. He said he used to cook your meals when you were younger.
Sam: ... yeah. ... So, where is he?
Cas: He said "to stick with the rabbit food with Sammy if I wanted.", he's making himself a burger."
10. If you could gain any mundane talent you don't now possess (dancing ability, singing voice, artistic talent, a knack for language/math/physics) what would you ask for?
Does getting my voice back count? I used to be a singer. I guess I still am, but during a spring-break-like student packed vacation, I screamed like crazy (also, spent two weeks deaf from one ear) and broke it. I lost my voice for half a week, maybe, but it never came back the same. My range is just as wide as before, but it has some weak spots where my voice tends to break or lose volume if I try to push it. Me very sad.
Also, yeah. Talent. Drawing talent.
11. Aaaand because I've run out of interesting questions... Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Uh.... again... at the top of my head. Riff Raff, from the Cadillac Cats. Because that's a sweet childhood memory. (My grand ma had two casette tapes. The Lion King, and TCC.)
Then again I really like Diego from The Ice Age.
And for those I am tagging, here are your questions:
1.How do you feel about your (real, legal, the one printed on your IDs) name?
2.You can move in in a tv show. Which one is it, and is it temporary?
3.You are informed that you can now travel instantly to whereever you want just by thinking it. Where do you go as a test?
4. What is your Drag Queen name? (Take the name of your first pet, and the name of the first street you lived on.)
5.What's the creepiest thing to know about you? (in your opinion or opinions of others that have expressed it to you)
6.What is something that, diet or no diet, you CANNOT say no to?
7. You are ropped into a talent show against your will (or not). What do you demonstrate?
8. Monsters are real. Everything from Buffy verse to supernatural verse is real. What do you do in such a world? (Become a hunter? Pretend you don't know and hope they won't notice you? Ask for a denial treatement like in the Matrix so you can forget you know? Who knows, maybe you have already. :P)
9. What's the last thing you ate and drank? (no cheating, we won't tell your momma)
10. You've just made an embarrassing dast dash to catch a bus and missed. You're panting and out of breath. You look around to find your favorite celebrity sitting at the bus stop. He/she's looking at you. Reaction?
11. Your pet suddenly starts talking to you. It remembers everything that's been said around it or to it. Do you think you're loved? And what's your connection with it from now on? (distrust, plotting, lat ratting, etc...)
EDIT: Bonus question: What/Who would you be if you were born in the other gender?To be fair I'll give you my answer to that: If I were a guy, I'd be the gay owner of a clothing store called "Some Wear Over The Rainbow" (or a tattoo shop called "Do you Ink I'm Sexy?"), it would be in Frisco, and we'd have an 'accessories' stand at the Folsom Street Fair.
Tagging: (I feel like tagging black_sluggard again, cause those are some fun answers I'd get. If you feel like it, in the comments?), xfirefly9x, ace_of_spades6, pamsblau. Anyone else that feels like it and somehow sees this?
