5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
My answers to
drbillbongo ´s questions are:
1) If you could spend 1 hour with your favourite actor, what would you two talk about?
Let´s see - you know, seeing as my favourite actor is Johnny Depp, then there is a good chance that I could spend an hour just looking at him (or being too embarrassed to say a word). But, well, I dunno - books, probably? Hard to say...
2) If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?
Johnny Depp and Jack Davenport naked in my bedroom would be nice. Or a cat. Or those Hill House editions of Neil Gaiman´s books. Or... well, truth be told, I´m not so good at settling on just one of something. It´s like when people ask me what my favourite book is: I can probably narrow it down to the ten best or something like that, but please don´t ask me to single one out above all others.
3) Which Johnny Depp movie is your favourite?
Oh, that´s easy - the PotC sequel where Captain Jack and Commodore Norrington finally realize that they are perfect for each other (as if that´s going to happen). Right, to be serious - Pirates of the Caribbean is somewhat predictably my favourite, but that answer is not exactly interesting. If we pretend that Pirates is not around, then the first place goes to - uhmm, let me see - "Don Joun DeMarco", I think - it´s such a lovely movie. Maybe not terrible serious, but lovely :-) (Also, see answer to question 2.)
4) Have you ever fallen in love with someone of the same sex?
No. Nor have I ever fallen in love with someone of the opposite sex. Truth be told, I´m beginning to feel a little left out.
5) Which fanfic of yours are you most proud of?
The fantastic, amazing, as yet unwritten (and unimagined) epic that, if it was original fiction, would get me the Nobel. Of those I have actually written - well, I´m not sure proud is the right word, but my favourite is "A Scandal in Port Royal" - for various reasons.

2) Pity that it's too few time to travel around the world. I guess I would give it to the people I love because they have more time to do something reasonable with it.

4) Actually because my former girlfriend

The Little Mermaid. It used to make me cry when I was little
2) What is so great about this Sean Bean fellow anyway?
*splutters* Look at him! The man oozes sex. He plays REALLY hot bad guys (like 006) and REALLY hot heroes (like Sharpe).
3) Have you ever gone a week without posting to LJ?
Are you saying I post too much? Hehe. Uh...I probably did when I was on holiday or something and when I first got my journal I didn't use it much. I'm addicted now though
4) What is your favourite non-alcoholic beverage?
Orange juice. No bits though because that's bleh
5) What is your favourite Christmas tradition?
You mean like a family tradition? I think putting up the decorations. That's always fun, whether it's with my family or in more recent years with my friends. We put Christmas songs on while we're doing it and it's always nice

1) What Hans Christian Andersen fairytale is your favourite?
Hard question - I might have favorites and not know they're by him. So I looked it up on google. There are 127 of them, (2 megs of reading), with interesting titles like 'The Philosopher's Stone', 'The Flying Trunk', 'In The Uttermost Parts Of The Sea', 'The Last Pearl', 'The Phoenix Bird', 'Soup From A Sausage Skewer', 'The Sunbeam And The Captive', 'The Thorny Road Of Honor'...
Those last three I adore for their titles alone, and the rest for their titles filtered through rabid-fangirl-filter.
And I HAVEN'T READ THEM!!! *Weeps* But I will...
'The Ugly Duckling' I know and love, and 'The Emperor's New Clothes' is a favorite too.
2) Who do you like most, Crowley or Agent Sands?
Now, that's just mean. Though it does make me appreciate how much I love them both.
But now I'm thinking of hell wiping Crowley's memories and turning him human as punishment, and who he would become.... Except Sands is too much himself for that, no matter how similar they are when you start thinking.
Possibly, just possibly, I'd miss the demon more. But it would HURT, loosing either.
Beautiful snarky Slytherins.
3) Any particular reason for your sudden fondness for pies (apart from the obvious)?
Not sudden. The obvious. Plus, when I was younger (10ish, I guess) there was this really good fast food chain called Georgie Pie. They're all gone, have been for ages, and I still resent the fact. I always used to get a mince pie or chicken pie, and then blackberry and apple for dessert. They had GOOD pies, dammit! *rails against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.*
4) If you had 24 hours left to live in, and several millions in your pocket, what would you do?
Spent some time trying to work out what I'd really do, based on what I know of myself. I don't think knowing I was about to die would suddenly grant me unusual confidence etc. So I wouldn't jump on the nearest plane and go skydiving or anything. And there's not much point buying things if you're not going to be alive to treasure them. So...
Seriously, I'd probably start by wiping my porn/slashfic collection from my computer, and bulk posting all my works-in-progress to my livejournal.
Donate a million to the local Multiple Sclerosis society with instructions to buy back the holiday units that got sold when the old society split up into our group and what we 'affectionately call the dark side (or tds). (Mum has MS, I'm Secretary, Newslettuce Editor, and proud of it.)
Give a chunk to my brother to have fun with.
Give most of the rest to my parents
Then... chocolate, lots of chocolate. None of this 'which one should I get' nonsense either. DVD marathon, binge-read favorite fics. (Wrens' 'Turning Tides' first, I think.)
Probably buy mum a bookcase. She's been wanting one.
Order pizza, to be DELIVERED.
Play 'Dance Dance Revolution'
Buy many, many paintbrushes - soft and fluffy. Do something very random in oil-colours.
Dress up in my shiniest/craziest of clothes. (Never mind getting paint on them, for I won't be here.
Write something, maybe.
Somehow obtain kahlua or other liquers and get drunk for first time in life. Also maybe.
Possibly I would, but I suspect I wouldn't, tell anyone.
Of course, I might just panic, and spend the day being comforted by dad, and eating junk food. And raw cake-mix. But I think... not. Or maybe.
Music - loud. Gilbert and Sullivan, Chess, Les Miserables, Il Trovatore. Maybe Eminem. The soundtrack of 'The Last Unicorn'. Bohemian Rhapsody. The Triumphal March from Aida.
I might even do the dishes, if mum askes really nicely.
And... 24 hours are up, aren't they? I forgot to write my will.
