Blegh. What a world.

Meme time!

How this works: Comment with your favorite color and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

lilithnaamah gave me these!

1. What are two things on your bucket list?

I have skydiving on there for some reason. Also, I'd like to visit all of the states I haven't already. I've been to 19 (+1 for D.C., so 20, I guess) so far. Maybe next time I own a car I'll do some road trips.

2. What were your favorite books you've read in the past year?

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Etiquette & Espionage, and Timeless. The Weird Sisters was okay, too. I didn't read that much last year, unfortunately, and a lot of what I did read wasn't that great. /shrug

3. If you could quit your job tomorrow and not worry about money, what would you do?

At first I would just sleep a lot, and then I'd move on to reading everything I've been meaning to for the last few years. Once I got bored with that, I'd probably start traveling as much as I could and spend a lot of time in places with beaches and tropical weather and fruity alcoholic drinks. Also I'd play more video games. And maybe write more.

4. You're so into the various comic fandoms nowadays. I can only sit back and watch with curiosity, and no understanding. What's your favorite fandom now and why?

Oh god, there are so MANY fandoms I'm involved with at the moment, I don't even know where to begin. I'm only nominally in comics fandom right now for reasons (one of which being certain people who drive me up a fucking wall, but whatever), and most of the others I'm in are TV- or movie-based. I guess my favorite fandom is Teen Wolf? Like, the show is a hot mess 98% of the time, and I really question whether all of us are actually watching the same material, but there's been some amazing fannish output in the last six months. Also I just really love werewolves.

(I've been reading a lot of Hobbit fic lately, though. It's movie fever, I can't help it.)

5. In case of the zombie apocalypse, what are your must have supplies?

Generators. Tall barbed wire fences. Canned and dried foods and bottled water. Books. Guns and bullets and machetes (and maybe an axe or two).

Your apocalypse kit needs more trampolines. And my favorite color is red. :p

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

I'll add those to the list!

1. If you could retire to anywhere in the world, what location would you pick?
2. Bucky or Dick - you can only choose one. WHO WOULD IT BE?
3. Which poet would you like to sit down and have a drink with?
4. What is your favorite snack?
5. If you could jump into books like Thursday Next (from the Jasper Fforde novels) does, which one would you want to spend all your time in?

[paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com]

Fuchsia! Although I've really been on more of a true purple kick lately. Maybe eggplant, which is also a vegetable! What's your stance on colors that are also foods?

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

I think it depends on the food or color!

1. Top five fictional characters you'd consider marrying?
2. What's one of your favorite memories from college?
3. If you could cast Much Ado About Nothing, which actors would play which characters?
4. What is your favorite musical instrument?
5. If you had the opportunity to create and write a TV show, a) what genre would it be, b) what are two characters' names, and c) how many seasons would it run?

[paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com]

Oh man these are all awesome questions! Although we've already had an almost perfectly-cast Much Ado; I'm not sure I can beat that. BRB googling all the actors ever. GENDERBENT MUCH ADO Y/N? No lie, I would totally watch a production where everyone gave a shit about men's chastity, for once.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

YES, GENDERBENT, DO IT. I would watch the shit out of that.

[paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com]

Claudia and Petra call out Hero at the altar for being a total man-whore! Beatrice and Benedick are not genderbent, because that is not a particularly interesting change, given Beatrice's personality and frank discussion of gender roles.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Agreed, they should stay. :D

[afrocurl.livejournal.com]

Purple, if you please...
