Oh, look! A meme!

Okay, I'm biting the bullet and applying to 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.

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.

Thanks, I'll need it! And I'll resist the urge to, y'know, FORCE you to proofread my application, because I know you have to be objective and all that because I have read the rules, yes I have. *nods*

1. What piece of music would you want played at your funeral?
2. What's your favourite icon you've ever made, and why?
3. If you could do some crazy death deal and swap Fred for any surviving 'good' character, would you? If so, who?
4. If you could see any concert, ever, what would it be?
5. What's your ideal career?

Does it actually say you're not allowed to ask someone to proofread your app? 'Cause I've seen members post links to their friends' apps (posted in their personal journals) and ask other members to look them over before those people apply...

expectolilium@gmail.com, if you want to. ;D

Meep! I want to read it too! Just because I'm nosey, really... and also because if I ever get forced to apply - *gives you a Look* - I wouldn't have a clue where to start.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Well then give me your email, durrbrain!

*gives you a Look* Do it! You know it makes sense.

[clouded-logic.livejournal.com]

:o I am no durrbrain! I am a Phelpsbrain, because they have taken over my mind so it can no longer function properly. Durr.

Pfft, I know it doesn't. I'd be stressing about it all the livelong week. Rejection is scary.

Oh, and: clouded_logic@hotmail.com XD

Done and done!

I'm reading! But not updating. I'm so easily distracted.
