DPP, Day Four -- LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

All right, kids, it's lovefest time.  So dust off those meme trousers and come on out and FEEL THE LOVE.  Today is all about the silly light frothy fun. This is a lovefest/get-to-know-you/friending meme all wrapped into one so don't be shy!

Here's how it works:

1.  Put your tags in the box by posting a comment saying "Will you be my Neighbor?"   Or whatever.  I just enjoy the Mr. Rogers reference.

2.  You must interview the person who posted ABOVE YOU in their comment thread.  

3.  You must ask them three questions:

     One (somewhat) personal (but not too personal, as this is, after all the internets, so no asking for identifying information-- ie, name, address, location, etc.  Just more generic personal stuff.)
     One fannish (anything fandom or pilots-related), and
     One weird/silly/crazy (just let loose and have fun with this one).

4.  You must must MUST chitty chitty chat chat with other people who have answered, especially if you see something intriguing.  This is all about the talking folks, so let's get to it.  :D

As innibis is my willing human sacrifice cheerful little guinea pig, she will be first up---(see the frist comment below)

And above all, HAVE FUN.  And Happy Thursday.  ; )

Innibis sets a shining example.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

OH-- and this went down in gchat this AM, so you get some stream 'o consciousness with your morning coffee...

Bee's questions:
#1 -- What would your dream job be?
#2 -- Are you more like Lee or Kara (and explain why).
#3 -- What's the worst, craziest and/or funniest pickup line you've ever used or that's ever been used on you, and did it work?


Innibis: 1 - This is a complicated one. In many ways what I currently do is a dream job; challenging, constantly changing, problem solving, a ton of responsibility
1 - for all my love of working on my own, i really love managing people and working intensively with a team
1 - so i guess my dream job would be owning my own business
1 - I mean I also want to be a Broadway Singer, an astrophysicist, an astronaut and a writer

Bee: (and a farmer?)

Innibis: (no)

Bee: (everyone should always want to be a farmer)

Innibis: but definitely a marine biologist

Bee: oh come on!

Innibis: I hate gardening. I am not good at it

Bee: but there are fuzzy animals! THEY ARE CUDDLY AND CUTE!!!

Innibis: BUT FARMERS KILL THEM

Bee: now i'm going to sing "farmer and the cowman" from oklahoma

Innibis: oh the farmer and the cowman should be friends. . .
damnit
i'll be singing Oklahoma! all day now

Bee: huh?
HA!
i win

Innibis: I just saw a great production of that last year
you do
2 - I'm not like Kara or Lee, actually.
2 - I certainly identify with characteristics of both. Lee's commitment to the spirit of the constitution above all things comes to mind
2 - as well as Kara's zest for life
2 - but they're damaged in ways that I'm not. I don't want to hurt people, and they do with their vast cruelty streaks

Bee: I gotchya. now i just need answer #3

Innibis: i need to go up and see what it is.

Bee: the pickup line
used on you or by you

Innibis: 3 - I don't use pick up lines
3 - I just smile and show cleavage

Bee: best intro for underlying romantic purposes then
;P
now THAT is always a winning strategy

Innibis: 3 - the worst puckup line I ever got was during plebe summer
plebe summer!
when I was always hot and stressed and tired and NOT CUTE
and my hair stuck up
and the dude leaned over and flipped my tag out of the back of my sweaty, sweaty shirt
and said "Just what I though. Made in heaven."
*facepalm*

Bee: why did you hair stick up? (you see how the really important things bother me)

Bee: SO MUCH FACEPALM
did you cackle? i would have cackled.

Innibis: because i had to get it cut super short

Bee: like shorter than shoulder length?

Innibis: and had 2 minutes for 3 people to take a shower in the morning
oh yeah
and it was humid
my hair dried on it's own

Bee: did you look at him like a crazyperson?

Innibis: and it is wavey
without the rest of my hair to hold it down, it sort of rose
I did
i didn;t even answer
i just stared

Bee: wow

Innibis: it did not compute

Bee: i didn't think that one even got used anymore
that's awesome

so are we supposed to answer other peoples questions cuz i have a great answer for the "pickup line" one and indeed, eventually plan on writing a blog post about it.

Re: Innibis sets a shining example.

[koolaidmom11.livejournal.com]

Ok, even though THIS isn't my question i HAVE to answer the pickup line one because...well, just because.

On my 23rd birthday i was in a club and across the way was the BEST LOOKING GUY i had ever seen (still, even after ALL these years this guy was one of the best looking guys i have EVER seen). I turned to my friend and said "that's what i want for my birthday! I want him!" and she said "he's blah blah blah and he is so conceited and full of himself and he'll never even talk to you" which BTW, is BULLSHIT,

So... i had this stchick i always used called "my three redeeming features" and i walked up to him and said " hi! i hear that you're pretty full of yourself" ... and then i paused and said "but then so am i ... but of course, i have reason to be" to which he was SO SHOCKED that he said "WHY?" and i said "because i have 3 redeeming features!" and he was so nonplussed that he asked me about them and so on and so on and LONG STORY SHORT I TOTALLY HOOKED UP WITH HIM THAT NIGHT so Happy Birthday to me!!!

ahhhhh...the good old days when you could bullshit your way through life!

There ya go

Won't you be my Neighbor?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Do your worst! :D

Re: Won't you be my Neighbor?

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'll interview you, Bee!

1) Hmmm, somewhat personal question. Okay: do you have any tattoos, and if so, what are they? If not, do you think about getting any, and if so, what are they?

2) Fannish: Who are your favorite major and minor characters on BSG and why? Alternatively, since I don't remember your answers, you could say who you'd frak/ marry/ toss off a mountain... :D

3) Silly: Hmm, I am still waking up, so this is not as silly as you might want... If someone paid for your airfare and travel expenses anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

And this is when I say "won't you be my neighbor," yes? I could even put on a cardigan and change my shoes for the questions!

[koolaidmom11.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm game for this although i have quite a bit of running around to do today.

1) Personal: If you were on a desert island and could only have 3 songs to listen to repeatedly, what would they be? (I have 2/3 and can never pin down the third)
2) Fandom: what was it about BSG that made you get involved, REALLY involved?
3) What is the craziest thing you have EVER done?

well, there you are. These are obviously easy for me but give it your all.

Will you be my neighbor?

Re: Won't you be my Neighbor?

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

2) Fannish: What's your favorite line on the show from either Kara or Lee?

3) Silly: If you were granted a superpower, what would you want to have, and why?

2. Were you a scifi person before Battlestar?
3. What's your favorite joke?

Won't you be my neighbor?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I'll jump in (since this seems to be getting totally out of hand anyway-- this is what happens when you try and herd fanboys and girls... ; P)

1. Riffing off Lynn's earlier question-- You have 3 albums to listen to for the rest of your life. Choose wisely.

2. If you could alter pilots story at any point in time (and only once) when would it be and why?

3. String or rubber band? And why. ALSO-- honeybadger or cobra? (And why.)

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

I am your neighbor in this tiny little federal city. :) Moving on...

1) What's your favorite thing about yourself?

2) If you could live in the head of one BSG character for a day, who would it be and why? (Bonus: pick a specific day!)

3) What's your favorite pizza topping?
