3. Star sapphires take a week to crystallize properly. Would diamonds or emeralds do?
Extra clue; same character: "Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job"
4. Wiping out the human race? That's a great idea. That's great. But more of a long-term thing. I mean, first we have to focus on more immediate goals.
Extra clue; different character this time: "I'm in Insurance"

~~Was expecting someone to have got #5. #1 and #6 are slightly more obscure~~, still think I might need to add an extra clue for #4. I think most people will have seen it, but it's not a very quotable movie.

And feel free to post and guess. They're screened so you won't spoiler them.

Because all the uncool kids are doing it

Tell me what you think of me.

Try to do one of these each year. It's nice to keep track

( 37 questions about 2010 ) Really I've been a little stressed all this year. Think I should have done Serenity but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to cope. Certainly didn't have the cocky self-confidence that I managed in 2009. Contracting seems to have stabilised though. So wish I could have seen the Bristolians a little more. I am really really pleased I went on that holiday. Worth every penny.

Okay. Thanks, to my cous

moonwolf1988 for these

Top five books you want to write some day.
( Cut for length )

I went to London and saw

tinkerbell1980 and assorted other fiends. Went to Wagamama. Helped other people eat their food.

Something about Tink always cheers me up endlessly. Maybe it's because she really likes me and there's never any doubt that she means what she says. Maybe it's just her boundless enthusiasm. Maybe it's just the hugs.

Whatever. I'm feeling a lot happier than I have for a long time.

Plus Meme time

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, ice cream flavours, books I might get around to writing one day, physics equations, cartoon moments, explosions, OTPs, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.

1. If you could have a superpower what would it be?

Tricky. I've always wanted to be able to fly. On the other hand, the really cool super heroes have the funky gymnastics stuff going on. And being able to walk through walls just seems intriguing.

Although the best super hero power is the one shared by Spiderman, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and James Bond.

The ability to always come up with a witty quip.

2. What character from any book, film or video game would you like to be most?

The Librarian in Discworld. He's really got it made. He's happy with the simple pleasures of bananas, gets a lot of respect both for his academic skill and his ability to grab things with his feet and gets to spend a lot of time reading.

3. What is your favourite time of year?

Start of summer, just after the clocks go forward. There's nothing nicer than going for a walk in a summer evening, when it's still warm and still quite light. Everyone's happy because the weather's improved, it isn't too hot yet

4. If you could assasinate anyone (they can already be dead) who would it be?

Fred Phelps (The God Hates Fags guy). On one hand I respect that he has the right to spout his hateful anti-everyone tirades, but on the other hand I can't think of a better target for this one bullet I have.

5. What would your dream house be like?

Not too large. Guest bedroom with en suite, a huge bath in the main bathroom a gas cooker and a toilet with syphonic flush. Also a garden large enough for barbecues and a hot tub.

If anyone wants their own questions then leave a comment saying "ORANGES" (or any other fruit of your choice)
- I'll respond by asking you five questions.
- Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
- Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions, if you so choose.

Or at least all the evil cool kids....

Raw evil score: 42.22%

Not that good at secrets though.
