gaia89, everylittlething310, lazoey, harriethayes, samsprostitutefriend, fundorkyben, blanchards. i think i had some others, but i haven't kept track so good. ugh, i suck. i think josh tagged me but i have no clue where that went. but anyway. i'm not tagging anyone because... i cba. hahaha
Favorite Doctor Who actor/actress?Umm, David/Catherine/Arthur is where my love is at. I think at the moment, Catherine is top just because of when I met her and being the nicest human on the planet. And I love how much of a fangirl she is!
Coca-Cola or Pepsi? Coca cola
Would you rather be a Wizard or a Time Lord? Umm, a wizard. I don't want all the regeneration shit. That's some stressful goings on, right there. And generally, it seems like a depressing, lonely life.
Last movie you saw in the theatre? Umm, Nobody Walks. I've been to the cinema so much lately (Cabin in the Woods, Liberal Arts)
What is one song that you could listen to on repeat for the rest of your life? Umm, A Comet Appears by The Shins. It sounds like the perfect morning.
If a genie came to you right now and gave you 3 wishes, what would they be? Perfectly straight teeth and off with the braces, a job for next year and... my dream guy to exist and actually be interested.
Favorite day of the week? Tuesdays or Fridays.
Favorite kind of candy? NERDS
Dawn or Dusk? Dusk!
Would you rather live seaside or in the mountains? I live by the seaside and I LOVE it. :) Summer is awesome here.
If you were the Doctor and could travel with any companion to any place, who would you choose and where would you go? Umm, I would go with Clairey, Spencer and Sally to see Giant Mechanical Man last week. hahaha!
Ellen's questions:
Favourite books/book series? Umm, The Lovely Bones is probably my favourite book, but I also love the Bridget Jones books, I gotta be honest. And Persuasion.
Favourite thing you own? My necklace collection, I think. Or my West Wing boxsets, hehe.
Favourite fandom? The West Wing. If you aren't in it, get in it because you won't find a better community anywhere. I've been so welcomed, even though I'm the newest newbie of all! They're intelligent, creative, talented, hilarious and lovely. What more could you possibly want in a group of people?! I mean, REALLY.
If you had one more day to live how would you spend it? I would go with my BFF and my mumma up to London. Maybe go see something on the West End. Go on the London Eye, travel about a little. Eat everything I want.
Have you ever been to hospital and if so why? I had an ear operation.
Would you rather always have your nails done or always have your make up done? Makeup! I'm a makeup girl. I bite my nails; I suck.
Best accomplishment of your life? Umm, I was pretty proud of my results last year from my first year of uni. And also, my first for my event in March.
Who are your heroes/role models and why? Amy Poehler, Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling, Emily Blunt, Bradley Whitford, Marlee Matlin, Allison Janney, Hillary Clinton, Catherine Tate, Maya Rudolph, Amy Adams, Diablo Cody, Debora Cahn, Martin Sheen, BJ Novak, Megan Mullally. I just think they're all so incredibly great at what they do -- and particularly with the women, I like to aspire to those that are witty, funny, charming and command a great deal of respect. I could only hope to be as awesome as the people on my list. There are also political reasons, or just certain career decisions and things that make these people significant to me I guess. They're incredibly intelligent, too. I hate people that dumb themselves down. Obviously some are more lifestyle-based and some are more career/talent-driven heroes. I cba to go through each one. There's probably more too; I'm inspired by anyone who fulfils their potential. We each get a certain amount of talent, and it's the people who can make the most of it that I look up to. It's not as easy as it sounds. I have quite a lot of writers that I look to, as an aspiring writer, but I don't want to go too into that. Screenplay-wise, no one beats Sorkin at his best.
What would your ideal party involve doing? DANCING.
If you had to watch only one tv show for the rest of your life what would it be? The West Wing.

Actually all the West Wing fans that come to our chats like Laura and Kelly and Kelsey and other Alex, I just adore and would happily talk to all day long. And I really like Avery and Jessica. But idk. I don't have best friends particularly. Clairey and Sally are the ones I'm closest to irl though, I guess. I'm bad at decisions.

Give one shameless brag about yourself here. I'm that star up in the sky, I'm that mountain peak up high. Hey, I made it. I'm the worlds greatest! And I'm that little bit of hope, when my back's against the ropes. I can feel it mmm. I'm the worlds greatest.
Avery's questions:
Can you stand on your head? Alas, no.
Favorite fast food restaurant and favorite meal from that place? Cheeseburger at Frankie and Benny's. Tuesdays baby, yeah!
Favorite quote? "The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Hey, the good things don’t always soften the bad things. But, vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant."
Last movie you watched (rewatches count)? Umm, ooh. Let me think. Oh I watched The Art of Getting By.
Recommend me 1 TV show and make your case for it. Hmm. You already watch The West Wing. So, go watch The Office. It's a delicious half hour comedy, that will do nothing but make you smile and bring the shipper out of you! If you aren't convinced after watching The Injury, I don't know your life! hehe
Recommend me 1 movie and make your case for it. AWAY WE GO. John Krasinski, Allison Janney, Maya Rudolph, Chris Messina, Sam Mendes, Alexi Murdoch. WASTE NO TIME.
Recommend me 1 book or series and make your case for it. The Lovely Bones. It's hard going at times, but the narrative is beautifully written. It's just really beautiful. In a way that isn't quite tangible.
Ideal vacation, go. I want to go to NYC, see Central Park... visit the NBC store, haha, see some shows, go to Macy's and the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty etc. I wanna be the ultimate tourist, basically. But I feel like I know enough New Yorkers that they'll help me out and direct me to the places that are awesome and less obvious!
Would you rather: do laundry, vacuum, or wash dishes? Explain. Wash dishes. Quicker.
Superman or Batman or other? Why? Do you have a preference for DC or Marvel superheros or are you a fan of all? Why? I do not speak superhero. But I want to see The Amazing Spiderman because MARTIN SHEEN. But I think he does, so I might cry.
Thing you’re most looking forward to this summer.. err Aussies, this winter/break from school/equivalent? Lol. London trips, and time with friends. Nothing too big planned at the moment.

What’s the meaning behind your Tumblr name? "Not a bad day" is a quite from Diversity Day in The Office. It's Jim's response to the moment that's my icon. Where my ship began, really.
What’s your favourite book? The Lovely Bones.
What are you currently obsessed with? The West Wing. Nothing's more current than a show that began in 1999.
Are you more of a Christmas or a birthday person? Umm, I like Christmas. But my birthdays of late have been really special. But I like the community spirit of Christmas. I loved Tumblr at Christmas last year. Everyone was following new people, and sending each other love, and it felt really special.

It's been a long time since I was blown away by anything. I heard The King's Speech was good, but I never got to see that. Idk. I'm massively picky. I would probably only list like 20 movies as "really great" ever. Tangled was good though. And Little Miss Sunshine and Away We Go are my faves.
