Post below with 'Resistance is futile' to receive your own customized five question meme to answer.
Then repeat on your own journal and watch the meme-y-ness spread. As it does.
1. How do you feel about rocking chairs?
Erm. I used to be fascinated by them and wanted one when I grew up. Now I don't think about them much. I like the idea, but they never work out quite the way you want when you try to sit in them.
2. Do you believe in astrology?
No.
3. If you could meet any one historical figure, who would it be?
I have a list, but probably C S Lewis. I would love to sit at the back of one of his talks and actually see and hear him in action. I've heard it said he could make reading the telephone book interesting if he wanted to.
4. What do you think next year's biggest toy craze will be? (just make up something random, because toys are pretty random...)
Errr.... Exploding penguins, then. Just because. Who wouldn't want an exploding penguin?
5. Name one irrational fear.
Fish. And things that float in water. Is that irrational enough?

Why?
And, although I've done it 5 times before, Resistance is Futile (curious to see what questions you come up with for me!)

Date: 2009-11-07 08:02 pm (UTC)Oh, and here was me hoping all my f-list would be sated with questions and I wouldn't have to think of anything!
1. (To borrow a now standard q): Given a trip back in time in the TARDIS, where would you go?
2. Which Doctor would you really prefer to travel with and why?
3. What was the most life-changing book you've read?
4. Are you a desk spook or a field officer? (If you were one, obviously)
5. Do you shelve your books in any order (and what)?

Interesting questions!
By the way, I couldn't work out why you were talking about not spoilering me - until I remembered ep 2 of Spooks has already aired on BBC3...

Use that and take out the asterisks...

Date: 2009-11-08 12:43 pm (UTC)(And I may reuse some questions here.)
1. Given one trip back in time, where would you go? (Assuming you can get back again, of course).
2. Are you a desk spook or field officer?
3. Which would Doctor would you actually want to travel with? (As opposed to who's your favourite).
4. Do you have any irrational fears?
5. What's your favourite children's book?

Date: 2009-11-08 05:39 am (UTC)Also, I once worked at an island-based camp during a year when all the carp were dying. They'd just wash up on shore and... *shudders* THOSE ARE BIG SCARY FISH!
anyways... resistance is futile!

Date: 2009-11-08 12:51 pm (UTC)Oohhh... Erk. I don't like the sound of that. I have confronted my fear. I picked up a dying fish and threw it back in the sea once. Of course, whether I saved it or killed it, I don't know, but it was trying so desperately to get itself out of the sand, even my fish-fearing heart had to take pity on it.
1. Which episode of DW would you most like to see? (that you haven't yet. It can include the 60s missing ones).
2. Do you feel that the cake in a cake fic should be chocolate or are other flavours permissable?
3. What is your least favourite 'ship' - and how would you write it if forced at the peril of your life? (Cos that sort of thing happens all the time round here... ;-D)
4. I know you've been on digs - what's the most interesting thing you (or the team) have uncovered? (As in historical, and not Dw/film-ish strange artefacts that glow and take you over etc. But mention that if you have, of course).
5. If you could be a character in a DW episode, who would you be (and which ep)? (guest characters only)
I was going to write 5. as this 'When do I get the next chapter of the excellent Seven, Hex, Ace fic you were writing and WHAT ABOUT ACE?' but I thought that would be meme-abuse.

Date: 2009-11-08 06:27 pm (UTC)It could indeed... lol
Unless I'm super sneaky, ignore the meme rules, and answer it right here and now, but I wouldn't do that. Would I?
1. I'd love to see Evil of the Daleks; I've seen a *very* good reconstruction (seriously, it was almost animated) but I don't think it did it justice, and the fact that we're missing a Jamie sword fight just makes me sad. After that one (because how can I pick one?) I'd say: Marco Polo, Furry from the Deep, and Enemy of the World. the burnations make me sad. :.(
2. I was always of the opinion that cake!fic cake should be light and fluffy in colour. It might be marbled, vanilla, lemon, or banana. The icing can be any colour, but sugar decorations are a must.
3. That's probably a toss-up between Ten/Jenny and... nope. That one wins. That's just the mos disturbing ship I've ever seen on or off screen. After that, we'll put Rose/Handy, and Seven/Ace. I don't see myself writing Rose Handy except -possible- as part of some humorous third installment to my Doctor's Leg series. Seven/Ace are a bit too much like father and daughter for me to see that one through, but I can almost see where those people are coming from, and Nemo_the_Everbeing on the 'spoon wrote some good shippy stuff with adult Ace, so, maybe...
4. Oh! I found a ceramic glyph! And it was shaped like the letter 'J' and it was the only glyph found on the site since the British museum raided it in the 20s (and those glyphs have all been lost in storage ala the Lost Arc). Alas, I didn't find the rest of the pot so we couldn't translate. The coolest thing the team found was a cache of effigy blades (see the bottom illustration on this link for an example: http://www.arrowheadphotos.com/pages/foreign.htm). I'm still mad because the actual pictures I took of them got ate by my camera.
5. Let's not kid ourselves, I'd be Other Dave in the Library episodes. (this, even though I'm never going to be 'Other' anything since my name's a bit... unique)
Er, yes, actually, the next chapter is really coming along on that. I might be able to get it to you by the end of the week. Maybe. Hopefully.

Date: 2009-11-08 08:01 pm (UTC)And I forgive you for not finding a way to write Ten/Jenny (althouh I suppose a fic in which it is revealed that she's actuially NOT his daughter would be the only way to go), because incest... Yeah, let's not go there.
Other Dave? Aw, I'm sure not!! And I will keep my fingers crossed for fic.
