DPP, Day Four -- LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

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.  ; )

Won't you be my Neighbor?

I'm in. Hit me! Lightly though, I'm fragile.

Hello! I promise to hit gently. :)

1) Personal: Where's your favorite place in the world? Alternately, if you don't have one, where would you go if money and time were of no consequence?

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?

1) My parent's backyard. My mother's garden is unrivaled IMO. Plus an in-ground pool and privacy fence and lots of nooks and games and hammocks and everything about it is just gorgeous, and tranquil, and home and there's no where else that makes me feel more peaceful and loved.

B) Kara's - "Are you sure I'm what you want?" in UB cuz I really think that single line explains ALL her internal conflicts over the course of the entire show. It breaks me. BREAKS ME I TELL YOU!

Lee's - "Especially you." in Six of One brig scene. It's just so honest. He doesn't try to hide anything from her there. Nope, he's just straight up "You are my kryptonite, Kara." I mean, I know that he did actually say no to her once in TAB but not really, not in his heart. *sob*

4) Flight! There's a wonderful This American Life segment on what someone's choice in superpower says about them HERE (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/178/superpowers)

And they've so got me pegged with the flight one.

1) Your parents' yard sounds really lovely!!

B) Ooooof. I'm going to have to watch those again with a box of kleenex. I'm due for a rewatch anyway with holiday break coming up.

4) Haha, one of my best friends just posted that TAL on facebook, and that's what prompted me to ask the question!

I love that TAL segment so much! I force people to listen to it all the time. The part where they say that people who would choose Invisibility were 'fearful crouching masturbators'? LOL! OMG I spit my coffee EVERYWHERE the first time I heard that.

Right?! So amazing. I pick invisibility because I'm an inveterate people-watcher and can be nosy, but yowza, soooo funny!

Lol, don't get me wrong, I totally see the pull toward invisibility! It is NOT an easy choice!

My other favorite TAL moment is David Sedaris' Jesus Shaves-Meaning of Easter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5apZmwR9UI) *dies forever*

You seem to have some questions already, but you're the person above me, so I'll ask more!

1. What's the best road trip you've ever been on? (Or if you've never, where would you go?)
2. Were you a scifi person before Battlestar?
3. What's your favorite joke?

Re: Won't you be my Neighbor?

1. Hmmm. Best ever? So many great ones. Ummm, I'll go with a trip last spring to Boston with 2 of my best friends. It was 1st for all of us and so much randomness and silliness ensued. Slap-happy, over-tired road trips make for the BEST stories.

2. Yes. Scifi AND fantasy, (actually fiction of EVERY form is a wonderful escapism for me) but I was not really a fandom person. Other than occasional lurking. But my BSG love was un-repressable and had to be brought out into the open. Yesterday the guy who runs the trivia league I play in showed up with THIS (http://shirtoid.com/46350/you-sunk-my-battlestar/) teeshirt for me and my entire team was humiliated by my geeky squee. They are NOT scifi fans at all and give me shit all the time for being one.

3. I have a weird aversion to jokes *smh* (i know, it's silly) but I don't 'believe' in scripted humor. Don't get me wrong, I am Ms. Funny Times, but anytime someone goes "So I heard this joke..." I immediately tune out because ... well probably because I'm a snobby jerk and rarely find them funny.

That is an awesome t-shirt :) And I'm glad you got sucked in to fandom!
