The 5 Question Meme
Rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better! If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate.
3. Please update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Please include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them five questions.
My Answers to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hiyacynth's Questions:
1. Which version of the apocalypse is your personal favorite, and why?
My favorite would have to be the plague!apocalypse. Other apocalypi(?), apocalypses(?) have their charms but the one after the plague more easily allows for the rebuilding of society. There's no fall-out to contend with, no zombies roaming the landscape, just scattered bands of people trying to get the world back together. The only thing you have to worry about are the roving bands of marauders, the petty warlords and the supernatural creatures who will, no doubt, stage a mass resurgence with the death of modern technology.
2. Which five people working in TV/movies today would you fire, with whom would you replace them, and why?Please to remember my fervent desire to be the underwear continuity supervisor on Supernatural.
OK, so, there are TV shows that I am distinctly unfond of and writers who make me want to roll my eyes but a lot of my most egregious dislikes fill a needed niche ane while I do think that if I and my cabal ran TV it would be better would as many people actually watch it?
However, I would get rid of the guys who run Smallville because they wasted a lot of really interesting story potential by taking the show in the direction they did. I'd replace them with Peter David and Paul Dini and beg Doris Egan to come back because I've seen her speculation on what Smallville could've been and it pretty much rocked.
I would also ban Michael Bay from ever making another movie ever again. And give Scarlett Johansen's starring roles to pretty much any other working actress. And, of course, make sure that you have your dream job because, yes, continuity is very important.
3. What trait in one of your family members do you admire most? Which drives you the most insane? Which do you realize pops up in your own personality from time to time and makes you run screaming from the room because OMG you're just like him/her?
Wow, talk about your tough questions. I admire my dad's steadfastness. He'll do whatever he has to to support the family, even taking additional menial jobs that he's way over-qualified for to earn extra necessary money, and he never complains. He does what he has to do and he shuts up about it.
The one that drives me the most insane and also regularly pops up in my own self is my mom's rampant insecurity. She literally thinks everyone in the world hates her and that random people at the store are judging her on her appearance, etc. It makes me want to shake her and yet I find myself doing the same thing all of the time. On the one hand I recognize I'm being neurotic, which my mom never has, but on the other hand recognition has yet to cure the defect. So aggravating.
4. Desert island discs. You only get five.
I'm a big fan of variety so I'm including some of my mixes to shake things up. Handel's Messiah, my plague!apocalypse mix, Music from Supernatural Season Two, vol. Two (which includes White Rabbit, Renegade, some Zeppelin, and Lady in Red), Barenaked Ladies Stunt, and Dar Williams The Beauty of the Rain. These are all discs I could listen to over and over again and not get bored, plus, no need for emo chick music on a desert island of hottness, as described below.
5. Ooh, desert islands! Desert island companions! You get five men and four women. Keep in mind that quarters are tight and you may have to share. Consider intrapersonal dynamics, division of labor, and driver/cakehole reactions to your above music choices. (It's understood that these people can be, you know, fictional, right? Do I even have to say that?)
This is great! Obviously 3 of the women would be yourself and the Baylors because being stuck on a desert island without my fangirls is inconceivable. The other woman would be Ava because she's cool and I think we'd all get along really well as we're all plucky and, well, fangirl-y. =D
The men would be Dean and Sam Winchester, obviously, Hurley because being stuck on a desert island without Hurley would suck beyond the telling, Captain Jack Harkness who could build us a coconut radio and reduce the sexual tension by having sex with anything that moves, and, finally, Gunn because he's Gunn and is awesome.
The group consists of smart people who are easy-going yet practical, who don't freak out at the smallest little things and know how to prioritize so even if it were an Island of Mystery we'd still be all right. And have lots of sex.
