Oh, look! A meme!

Okay, I'm biting the bullet and applying to [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_elite. Wish me luck!

1. Leave me a comment saying something random, like the lyrics from your current favourite song, or your favourite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.


[livejournal.com profile] bishwop asked me...
1. If you could bring back anyone from the Harry Potter universe from the dead, who would you choose? Only ONE, though.
Eurgh, tough question. Well, much as I would love to, I really can't bring back Lupin without Tonks, because ANGST and WEEPING and DEAR GOD MY SOUL. Whereas bringing back Fred would lead only to awesome, because then the twins would be whole again.

2. Describe one happy moment and one sad moment in your life.
HAPPY: I don't really have one 'ultimate happy moment'. I suppose the times when I'm at my happiest is when I'm with my friends, and we're all dancing like prats to an excellent song and laughing for little or no reason. It's like those shots in films where everyone's laughing and the camera pans round in slow motion. Those are probably my favourite times, the ones where you think 'I hope I know these people forever'.

SAD: The saddest I've ever felt is at my granddad's funeral, when my dad was reading out a speech he'd written. It wasn't so much that my grandfather was dead, because he'd had a stroke and he'd been fading for over a year, it was that my dad was reading this tremendously beautiful and personal speech, and he was crying.

3. What is your favourite song?
Impossible question! Seriously, there is no way to just pick one. Anything by The Smiths, really. Although, if I could only pick one song where I completely love everything about the music and the lyrics and EVERYTHING, then "Wake Up", by Arcade Fire. Especially the line 'We're just a million little gods causing rainstorms, turning every good thing to rust... I guess we'll just have to adjust'

4. You are only allowed to watch one thing on your television screen (including TV and Film) for the rest of your life. What do you choose?
Oh no. If this happened in real life I would cry for the rest of time. I suppose anything by Baz Lurhmann would be both stunning and pretty damn cool. But there really is no contest; LOTR trilogy (Extended Edition, natch). It's got great performances, pretty men, stunning scenery and a fucking epic story. What's not to love?

5. Do you have any big fears or phobias? If so, what are they?
Oh, I'm scared of absolutely everything. Fire, elecricity, motorbikes, large animals... You name it, I'm afraid of it. I think my main phobia is danger. I mean, I love rollercoasters but I will not go on spinning teacups if the safety bars looks dodgy. I'm a complete and utter wuss, I really am.

Good luck, I'll be pulling (and voting) for you :D

Ok, umm, something random: *tries hard to think of something not twin-related* My dog never, ever, ever lets me cut her nails. We have to drag her to the vet to get it done.

lalalalala.

Or does the randomness have to be more specific than that? If so then:

Set The Fire To The Third Bar.

Also, as much as it pains me to say, your answer to number one is true enough I suppose. :/

My surname translates to 'slayer of turks'. LOLZ

erm...
My favourite sandwich filling is butter, ham, two types of tomato, thin slices of cheese and sweet red onion chutney in a baguette. :)
