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.  ; )

Won't you be my neighbor?

Helloooo!

1) Personal: What's one of your life goals, or have you achieved any life goals recently?

2) Fannish: Do you go for AU or canon? If you go for AU, what's your favorite spin on it? If you go for canon, what time period do you favor?

3) Silly: What celebrities would you frak, marry, and airlock?

Ha! You beat me to it! ; )

I guess that means I should stop procrastinating at work, eh? Let's have a dance party!

DON'T TEMPT ME....

1) One life goal is to do some original writing, maybe work on some kind of anthology of short stories. It hasn't happened yet, but someday!

2) I enjoy both AU and canon, really. My favorite AUs in the BSG world are Academy fics and also anything that really creates its own richly detailed world. I think "Aerilon Girls are Easy" and "The Reality and Immortality of Things" are amazing because they feel so very real on their own terms. And kag's "Irreplaceability of Things Lost" is breath-taking not only in its world-building but in its incredible logic -- she makes everything fit so very well.

3) Ha. There are many actors I've had crushes on over the years -- I'm a sucker for beautiful, posh voices, so Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Baker, James Mason definitely have a lot going for them. I also like people who seem intelligent and pleasantly sarcastic; Peter Wingfield, Joseph Gordon Levitt, James Marsters. I have an inexplicable attraction to Jimmy Cagney. But I would (and did) marry the sweet, upstanding type. Someone sort of Clark Kent-ish :)

Actors I don't enjoy? Jack Nicholson, maybe. 95% of current comedians.

Oooh, thank you for the fic recs! I also love Academyfic!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I heartily approve of your crushes. And double triple YES to the posh voice. (omg, James Mason's voice. that is all.)

1. Finish this sentence: "In a world free from any kind of constraints, I am __________." (Answer can be as long or short as you want.)

2. Describe for me how--when they're both honest with themselves about being perfectly in love with the other--how Kara sees Lee, and how Lee sees Kara.

3. Three famous people (living or dead) you'd like to have over for dinner.

1) I am travelling the world, I suppose, with the people I love best. Taking a lot of late-night train rides, eating cheap gyros from street vendors, climbing the mountains at Delphi, learning to speak Russian with my husband, visiting a lot of museums, sleeping under the stars in the Tuilleries gardens on a summer night, playing the cello, taking my mom to Rome.

2) Kara sees Lee as the person who knows her best. He accepts the ways in which she can't change, has the courage and strength to push her when she does need to overcome some destructive behavior/idea, and for the most part he does a decent job of telling the difference between those two situations. She sees how much he loves her and respects her without being intimidated by her attitude, her extraordinary gifts, or her baggage.

Lee sees Kara as the person who makes him comfortable in his own skin. He is the most himself when he's with her, she draws out of him everything he has to give: friendship, laughter, anger, love both platonic and deeply passionate, his soldier's instincts and his politician's ambition. She makes things happen, she *moves* him. He needs that.

3) My three guests would be Alexis de Tocqueville, John Adams and Bobby Kennedy.

I love your response to #2. I agree with that fully.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Love your K/l explanation, and I quite agree. Thanks for indulging me. : )

If I promise to bring some wine, can I come to that dinner party? ; )

What's the one "path not taken" that you miss/regret the most?

What is the farthest out of your comfort zone you've gone for the sake of fandom?

Peanut butter - smooth or chunky?

1) It's never too late, is my philosophy. Better to keep searching than to regret. Besides, as my aunt once said, one form of learning is to make mistakes quickly :)

2) I like my comfort zone, actually. It's there for a reason -- fandom is about doing things I enjoy, and sharing happily with other people whose tastes overlap with mine. I'm happy to try new things that I'm not uncomfortable with, but I don't go further than that.

3) Smooth, definitely. Yum!
