'is there room for one more song?'

moogingLolol I have so many other things I should actually be doing right now. But! In true Moog-style, I shall completely ignore them in favour of twatting about on the internets. Join me in procrastination as I do that Five Things meme, from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lovestories. If you want to play, comment and I shall think of questions to throw at your faces.
(spoilers for Being Human episodes aired so far, but reeeeeally mild ones, and in picture form)
1. Name your favorite getting-dressed-up-with-your-friends-in-preparation-to-go-out-on-the-town song.
This question is sliiiiightly null and void for me, as getting dressed up with my friends in preparation to go out on the town is something that has never happened to me (shut up), so instead I shall do a song that I listen to when I'm getting ready ON MY OWN to go somewhere. Er, or maybe more than one song. Don't you love how I am following these questions to the letter?
- Rogue Traders - Voodoo Child: also known as: that song on Doctor Who that Saxon did a dance to and we all thought it was awesome but then promptly forgot about when he did the next, more awesome, actually choreographed dance with kissing in the next episode.
- The Killers - Sam's Town: I should point out that I could name aaaaany Killers song here, but this one is playing right now on iTunes, so that's the one I'm going with.
- The Gossip - Standing in the Way of Control: I heard this on the first Skins adverts and it has been in my head forever and ever since then.
Kate Nash - Foundations: it's just so plinky-plonky and melodic! I also really like Birds.
- Katy Perry - Hot and Cold: shut up, okay? I don't even know. I just like iteven though I Kissed a Girl makes me want to hit her in the face.
- I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SAY 7 THINGS BY MILEY CYRUS, EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT THEN.
02. Top five times a character you've absolutely HATED did something undeniably awesome.
Oh Goddddd. I don't know. Um um um um.
1. When it was revealed that, in Alias, Sloane had actually known where Emily was all along and had cut off her finger to trick the Alliance into thinking she had been kidnapped, thus the better to save her life.
2. Sean from Nip/Tuck randomly shagging the blow-up doll. LOOK, I DON'T KNOW, OKAY. IT WAS JUST GOOD TELEVISION.
3. Actually, Julia from Nip/Tuck being suddenly awesome in that episode where Ava was the angel of death in that alternate universe. And season 3 Julia was abruptly less irritating, I thought.
4. Mickey, from Doctor Who, suddenly becoming REALLY GROOVY in the Doomsday two-parter. Previously, the line 'what's a horse doing on a spaceship' led to 'what's 18th century France doing on a spaceship', and that was fabultastic too.
5. I can think of a couple of examples from BSG, but I know a couple of people on my flist have only just started watching, so I won't say. BUT THEY ARE THERE. This is by no means a cop-out, shhh.
6. OH WAIT, MONICA REYES. I hated her with all the fires of hate within me, but that episode about the Brady Bunch was a gud tiems episode, and I seem to remember finding her quite amusing. NORMALLY, THOUGH, I HATED HER.
03. Name one fictional character you'd...a) go shopping with, b) take over the world with c) have a slumber party with d) would STAB IN BETWEEN THE EYES and then dump into the river, if you could.
a. I would go shopping with Manny from Black Books! Can you imagine it? It would be amazing. He'd be all helpful and making suggestions, and then he'd tactfully tell you when something didn't suit you, and he'd be happy to play infantile shopping games like 'what is that woman thinking right now', and he'd go and look at retarded secret shame purchases with you, like buying Twilight or something of similar ilk, and then he'd advise you on which kind of muffin to get when you stopped for lunch and he would be right. Plus, you'd probably get to meet Bernard and Fran at the end of the day, and there is no scenario in which that is a bad thing.
b. I would take over the world with Laura Roslin:
Are you insane, why would you even pick anyone else? God, she could kill opposition with her eyes. Also, she's intelligent to the point of being terrifying, she's pragmatic, she does what's right, and if she's decided to do something, god help you, nothing is going to stop her.
Also, I like her hair. ♥
c. Oooh, I think a sleep-over with Caroline from Green Wing would win at everything.
She'd just indulge in alllll the chocolate with you, and make ridiculous remarks with you at the television, and then she'd be one of those people who like to talk rubbish into the night once you've turned the lights off and are ostensibly going to sleep, which is generally awesome. ALSO, you'd get to listen to her bitch about her work colleagues, and then if you continued being her friend there would probably come a time when you were in the same room as Mac and Guy at the same time, and then I think my head would explode. And they'd be able to fix me! Because they're doctors! (lolol person change there)
d. Why can't I think of anyone I want to shove off a cliff? Normally I am full of the rant and the vitriol but now, when challenged, I become Mrs. Niceface. Argh argh argh. Okay, this question would probably be better for being interactive: if you're curious, give me a fandom in the comments and I'll tell you someone from there. OH HERE'S ONE: DAWN FROM BUFFY.
04. If you could choose one super power, what would it be?
I DON'T KNOW, OKAY. Either flying, being able to read minds or the ability to freeze time. Both, if possible! The first because, dude, flying, reading minds because, secretly, don't we all want to know what everyone else is thinking? and the third because IT WOULD JUST BE SO USEFUL. God. Don't want to get up just yet? Freeze time. Don't know the answer to this question? Freeze time and find out. A kitten is stuck in a tree? Freeze time, fly up to it and telepathically find out how it got up there. OH YEAHHH.
05. If you had to be turned into either a vampire, a werewolf, or a ghost, which would you choose (using the Being Human definitions of said supernatural creatures)? Why?
Vampire, oh my god. Definitely a vampire. Firstly, and shallowly, have you seen vampires? Look at them. They are smoking hot (er, except not literally, unless they step into the sunlight). For example:
Also, then you get to have the werewolf as your friend, and if we're going by Being Human, that means you get to be friends with George, which I imagine would be several bazillion shades of amazing, and you'd know Annie too (win win win).
(it amuses me how Mitchell here has an inexplicable amount of love for his fingers)
VAMPIRES. Other pluses include immortality and suddenly possessing enough charisma to fell a small forest (what, you didn't know trees were knocked down by personality? Oh yeah, it renders all those chainsaws useless).
Take it that the screencaps I've used are not mine, but because I am useless, I have managed to totally forget where they are from. If you see this, and you need credit for something, I will be happy to oblige :DD
Well, that was a bit longer than expected.
On a different note, does anyone know where I might find myself a League of Gentlemen moodtheme?
