House Related Questions
Who is your favorite character and why? Chase, Wilson and House. If I had to choose then I'd say Wilson because of his ability to remain morally acceptable despite his relationship with House.
Do you have a favorite episode? Care to Share? Skin deep and the mistake
Do you have a favorite quote and/or snark? Wanna tell us? "I know you're in there. I can hear you caring"
Do you have a favorite House accessory? Nope
If you were sick, would you want House as a doctor? Life threateningly and unexplicably sick then yes as he's the best doctor for the job, otherwise no. My ego wouldn't take it.
Which character do you identify with most? This can include a patient. Chase probably although I also have moments of identifying with Cameron and Stacey.
Most importantly, what is your non-House favorite quote?
"I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it." - Robert Sapolsky
**extra** please include a pic of yourself, it would be really nice. :)
