My Five Things
Please, for the love of all that is holy and writerly, gimme prompts, people. You know, Five Things-shaped ones. "And One ___ ____ Didn't" optional. Just anythingwhatever.
{Clarification via example: Five Times Kaylee Ate Strawberries (and One Time She Didn't) et cetera.}
Can be random original somethingness, can be fandom - my usual HP, Good Omens, Who, whatever and also Firefly, though I haven't quite finished watching the series and if you spoil me for the film heads may roll, and Being Human and, er, apparently, Merlin. Don't mock. Also! Xkcd! Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Whatever strikes your fancy really, I'll decline only if I know nothing 'bout it.
Help an ailing mathematician spark it and work it!
[Indeed, make a meme of it. I'll gladly give you prompts. I just have problems giving any to myself.]
Also. Because I'm on the recovering end of a very difficult week, random music meme waffing aroundness ahoy, as stoled from ehnel ages ago
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
Kisschasy - Opinions Won't Keep You Warm At Night
{Not true, but an excellent answer to the question anyway.}
2. WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
Elton John - It's Tough to Be a God
{Okay, that is eerily accurate. See, that's why I love randomiser memes. There's something divine about chance truths. A hidden god arranging these answers for fun and profit.}

7. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?

Santana - singing Winds, Crying Beasts
{I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.}
9. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
David Gray - Hospital Food

You know, I'm gonna reshuffle this and it will feel like EXORCISM.
