Part 2 of the '5 Things' meme (All Highlander, all the time... er, I'll hush now)

[gryphonrhi]

Right, here are the last of the ' 5 things' meme. If you haven't asked me for something already, feel free. ::cheerful:: These have been fun.

For feonixrift, 5 pieces of advice Methos gives himself but never takes:

The lighter set --

1. Never barhop with a man who willingly drinks boom-boom. (But if you do, take a tape recorder...)
2. Do not agree to something just because Amanda/Duncan looked distraught and batted her/his eyes.
3. Shoot Kronos Cassandra on sight, before he she can open his her mouth.
4. If Darius wants to play a game of chess, do not accept any side wagers.
5. Remember that Joe Dawson can be a caluclating son of a bitch.

The more serious set:

1. Bora-Bora's (always) nice this time of year.
2. Don't take an interest in young immortals. They're too likely to break your heart.
3. There's no point in arguing with zealots. You should be packing.
4. Things are replaceable. Don't love them too much individually.
5. A - (the part he keeps) Always know what you're willing to pay for something. B - (the part he doesn't) Never pay too much.

For Shemchadash, 5 things Cory never stole:

1. At no time and in no place was Cory ever stupid enough to try to steal a book of hours from Rebecca Lords. That's a vicious rumor.
2. And the young 'lady' in Comstock didn't lose her maidenhead to him. Cory's pretty damn sure it wasn't 'stolen' by anyone. (Her brother, however....)
3. He may have temporarily owned a steamboat in the 1860s, but he never gave anyone a free ride. Even if they were too dark, too bloody, and too desperate.
4. He never stole the Hope Diamond. It's gaudy, and he doesn't care for diamonds. Mostly, he's not fool enough to mess with anything associated with hope. People fight like cornered rats to keep it.
5. He never stole a plain gold ring, worn at the edges. He didn't know what it was when he saw it pawned. He didn't hit the thief who pawned it, they weren't in a dark alley, and the guy woke up with all his money. That money didn't go to the family whose heirloom ring had been stolen. He certainly didn't break into Matthew's house four centuries later to return it to him. And he had no idea his teacher gave it to his first wife. Really.

And now I'm going to bed, because today was long, and tomorrow will be too. Night, all!
