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.

He's my favourite, too! From the first time I read the book even. Just a great character.

oh! I forgot about the questions, I can answer them here, my journal is a bit meme-fied. lol

1. Somewhere in the UK. :)
2. How can I choose? Um, GOB and George-Michael. Sorry, I know you said favourite Bluth singular. lol
3. Well, if I'm blessed with such a long life, I think it'll be very different. Look how different it has become just in my short lifetime. I don't think it'll be quite as space-agey as some of these movies predict, but I think it'll be quite different.
4. You mean, like which of the actors? If that's what you're looking for, then I guess I'd say Colin Firth. lol
5. I'm quite partial to Jane Eyre, but I also quite enjoyed Everything is Illuminated because it was so different from anything I had ever read.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Lord of the Rings trilogy, too. I love those books.
