OMG. Are you on flight rising?

I AM YES sorry I just saw this :D  My username there is chemicalconcerto

[timemachineyeah]

I vined it.

Tagged by tardis-stowaway to answer 11 questions and then write my own questions and tag people to answer them. 

Here goes! 

1.  Which fictional universe would you most like to visit for a short (say 2 weeks) trip? 

If it is two weeks relative earth time then Doctor Who because I could adventure forEVER in two weeks because time travel. 

If it is two weeks relative my perception then it depends on whether any effects of this two week trip last once I get back to my universe. If they do: then a fictional universe where human augmentation and functional immortality is relatively safely achievable and green energy that can be brought back already exists. Become immortal and stop global warming all in one go. 

If I don't get to keep the effects of the trip that doesn't exist in this universe then probably I'd go to Hogwarts because I have so many questions. 

2. Which celebrity would you most like to have as a best friend?

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY DIFFICULT. Um um um. Emma Thompson? Jessica Williams? Daniel Radcliffe? Jordan Gavaris? PATRICK STEWART? ANTHONY MACKIE? Laverne Cox??? Nicole Beharie??!???!? Janelle Monae? Osric Chau? And of course the unbelievably terrific markruffalo???? OH NO NIEL DEGRASSE TYSON? 

/lays down on ground despondently

I want to be all of their best friend

3.  If you had the power to bring any one extinct species back to life, which would you choose?

If I really had this power I would obviously do a lot of research on ecosystems and losses and gains first but off the top of my head I'd bring back the Passenger Pigeon. They used to be ubiquitous and now they don't exist and that makes me sad. 

Alternatively the Deinonychus to recreate Jurassic Park because that totally ended well, right? I think I remember that ending well. 

4. Name a few (however you choose to define a few) songs you’ve really been enjoying lately.  Not necessarily your all-time favorites, just your current jams.

"Dance Apocalyptic" and "We Were Rock and Roll" from Janelle Monae's Electric Lady. "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn. A bunch of Dixie Chicks hits. 

5.  Rec a fic or five (or some other number that seems right) you’ve enjoyed recently!

I have not read a lot of fic recently. Been listening to audio books and podcasts, mostly. 

Though thank you for asking this because it made me remember to look back on one of my favourite fics, The Death of Narcissa Black: A Potion, find out it's no longer online, and snag an illicit PDF of it before it becomes to obscure to have. If you haven't read that one (the watercolor painting picture book) let me know and I will send it to you because it's so so so so powerful and amazing. 

6.  If budget and your current sewing/crafting skills were no issue, what character would you most like to cosplay?

Katie and I have talked before about putting together a four-person EVERY CHARACTER IN DOCTOR WHO FROM 2005-2008 quick-change cosplay (so like, the costumes change from one character to the next) and even once sat down and figured out which characters would change into who and how you could do some of the transformations if you wanted to do like a "The RTD era in 4 minutes with 4 actors" sketch or something so I'd probably do that. 

7. If the Doctor showed up in the TARDIS and offered to take you one trip anywhere in time and space, where would you ask to go?

Again, somewhere where immortality is relatively achievable and I can grab and green energy solution. If the Doctor objects to my non-specifics and also intention to screw with the timeline (for a good cause!), then I'd definitely choose to go to the future, and probably to another planet as different and mind-blowingly revelatory and insight-giving as he or the TARDIS can think of. 

8.  What do you typically have for breakfast?

Pop tarts. I'm usually running out the door. If I have time to make something it's usually eggs and toast. I also love cereal but I eat that any time of day.

9.  If you got to make one amendment to the Constitution (or the foundational law of your country if you’re not from the US), what would you change?

Some kind of Fair Elections Amendment that overrides Citizen's United, sets up a limited and reasonable at-least-semi-public budget for candidates to eliminate fundraising concerns, and replaces first-past-the-post voting with something like The Alternative Vote. OH AND GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

I can't think of a way to work prison reform into that off the top of my head but I also want to do that.  

10.  What’s your favorite place to be outdoors?

The shade. 

If there is a pond or small lake with some shade that is ideal. Something with frogs. 

11.  Are you wearing socks right now?  If so, what color/pattern?

SADLY NO. 

This is something I deeply dislike about living in SoCal. Growing up I had the most fabulous sock collection. I was well known in high school and early college for my socks with monkeys and cartoon characters and variously delightful things on them. And I still LOVE socks! They are so comfortable and there is something about wearing socks that feels so safe, like a blanket or a hug. 

But Los Angeles is so deeply hot that I almost never wear them, as I wear sandals whenever possible, and business shoes that would be inappropriate for socks when I need more professional footwear. 

I do have some freaking cure Cookie Monster socks, though. 

OKAY MY TURN TO ASK QUESTIONS.

1. If you wanted to woo me, what pickup line would you use? 

2. What's your favourite phone app (or, if you haven't got a smart phone, computer program) that isn't a web browser, email, or social media?

3. What news story or historical fact or sciencey thing do you think needs to be given more attention? 

4. What's the biggest thing (game/show/book/website) you've ever wasted more than 10 hours on entirely of your own volition only to come out from your trance, realize suddenly and all at once what you've done, that you didn't even really like it, and you'll never touch it again? (PLEASE TELL ME THIS DOESN'T ONLY HAPPEN TO ME. I STILL REMEMBER GAIA ONLINE AND THOSE THREE DAYS AS SOME KIND OF MIND CONTROL I DON'T UNDERSTAND)

5. Bees?

6. You get to change or erase one major event in World History. What do you choose and how do you change it? 

7. You are a pokemon now. What pokemon are you? You have to answer this even if you know nothing about pokemon. 

8. Any podcasts, audio books, or audio dramas that you'd recommend? 

9. YOU ARE NOW A PONY FROM MY LITTLE PONY (classic or new). What do you look like? What's your name? Pegasus, Unicorn, Earth Pony, Alicorn, Breezy, or something else? You can even use a pony maker (1) (2) (3) THIS IS, AGAIN, BETTER IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY LITTLE PONY. 

10. I'm Aries. Write my horoscope. I assume you know it. You seem as much an expert as anyone.

11. Sort one or all or any selection of the following into a Hogwarts House:  Stephen Colbert's TV Persona from the Colbert Report Sam Winchester Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox Your pets Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane The cast of Bob's Burgers Cecil Palmer, Carlos the Scientist, and anyone from Night Vale

You are absolutely not obligated to answer anything if you are tagged. It's for fun and no pressure and I think I'm supposed to tag a certain number of people? But I don't care and I'm not going to count.

*Hugs you real tight* Would you please send this to the first 10 people on your dash to keep it going? Make their day with a hug :)

Tony is in a hurry to get to a meeting in time, but the car that was supposed to pick him up gets into an accident. What does he do? Hail a taxi, of course!

This is for ivyeyed, who wanted 'strangers to lovers' and 'cute date', sooo I hope you're happy with this one. ^_^"

I was tagged by mishasteeth

1. What are your dreams, goals and aspirations?

To be a writer for a living, make a good amount of money, and a lovely apartment with a kitchen that has marble counter tops.

2. Do you have an embarrassing story you’d like to share with us?

Oh my goodness, it doesn't take much for me to do something embarrassing. Um, earlier today I'd been sitting on my friend's couch with her watching Pacific Rim with her and had my laptop on my lap along with a blanket. Well, after a bit I had to go to the bathroom, so I set aside my computer and actually turned and reached down to unhook my seatbelt because for some reason my brain decided that the couch had turned into a car. I was momentarily confused as to why I couldn't find something there before my sanity caught up with me and informed me that I was not, in fact, strapped down in a car. I really need more sleep.

3. Have you ever met a celebrity? Tell us about it!

I have met all of the band members from my favorite band Rise Against. I was with my best friend and his two brothers, and they are all really smart and sophisticated people, so they went up talking about how their music is meaningful and what it means to them and rhythm flow, and then there was me, who was so flabbergasted by the fact that I met them I was actually speechless. I apologized profusely about not knowing what to say, and they were very nice about it, but I'll still always be sad I couldn't have at least said that their music means the world to me.

4. What does happiness look like to you?

Cockles.

5. Put your ipod on shuffle: What are the first five songs that come up?

Recovery - Frank Turner

Wait for Me - Rise Against

Give Me a Sign - Breaking Benjamin

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

6. What movie are you excited about this year?

ALL OF THEM

7. If money were no object what would be the first thing you did on waking up tomorrow morning?

I would give my parents a million dollars because I love them dearly and they pay for so much for me and I owe them so much.

8. Would you survive a Zombie apocalypse?

Eh, hard to say. With my cardio skills, I'd say not, but knowing my friends I would probably survive whether I wanted to or not.

9. Do you like the colour of sky?

I like not seeing the sky. Clouds ftw.

10. What team?

WILDCATS

11. Worst pick up line you ever used/received?

I was good friends with this attractive Spanish guy that was sort of a player and we would flirt all the time, mostly for fun, but we were attracted to each other. One day in my Econ class I was talking to another friend about "what we are" and I was saying that I was German, Dutch, and Irish, and she told me she had more of a Spanish background. Well, the guy friend sat on the other side of me and heard me say "Yeah, I don't have any Spanish in me" and instantly said "Would you like to?" It was a horrible pick up line and we both laughed about it. He then proceeded to use that on other girls, but I knew that he said it to me first, so I always had that small bit of satisfaction.

My Questions:

An alcoholic beverage you wish wasn't so you could drink it all the time?

Favorite quote from your favorite TV show?

Elves or Dwarves?

Dogs or cats?

Tea or coffee?

Come up with an awesome story for a boring scar.

Do you wear mix-matched socks or matching socks?

You have one hour left to live. In that last hour, you get to watch one episode where your OTP becomes canon, and the episode is all about them. Which OTP do you pick and why?

You are allowed to jump in and out of one reality, but you have to take over as one of the characters/people. Which universe do you pick and which person will you take over?

Favorite snack food?

You have the ability to erase 50 Shades of Gray from the universe. Do you?
