A few more Top 5 Answers!
So I was going to post some more top 5 answers yesterday, but b_dsaint and I ended up writing cracktacular Clueless recast as Bandom chatfic instead. Because we are complete dorks and highly distractable like that. WHOOPS.
Anyway, without further ado, some Top Fives!
turloughishere wanted five places you would like to visit some time?
Oh see, now this is HARD. I am all about travelling, but I'm actually not hugely fussed on where I go, I just like going places. But let's see, if I think very VERY hard:
1. The Bandom road trip pikasafire keeps banging on about, across the states stalking visiting fangirls everywhere with a pitstop in Mexico. In a van. I can't think of a better trip.
2. New Zealand, because I know too many people there not to go and check out what all the fuss is about. And also, it's so close to Oz there are no excuses.
3. Japan! Because I think it would be fascinating.
4. Canada! Because it would also be fascinating and everyone knows Canadians are awesome.
5. While I am in the UK I want to do a bunch of little jaunts around Europe. I've already done France and Sweden, but I'd like to do more, Italy, Greece, etc!
Well that was more than five! Really though, I just love travelling, I'm happy to go anywhere.
From kasuchans_v2 Five celebrity looks you'd like to steal. This one was HARD, because I guess I don't pay a huge amount of attention to that kind of thing, but I scratched my head and came up with the following. Note, it was really tempting to grab looks from films (like actors in costume) but I figured that would be cheating so I stuck to actual fashion choices from the celebrities (and probably their stylists).
1. Dita Von Teese
Because everyone loves a bit of 50's glamour and there has to be corsetry in here SOMEWHERE:
And hey! girl in uniform!
2. Gwen Stefani - the crazy Mad Hatter-esque outfit from 'What You Waiting For'. I couldn't find any shots of the cute shorts though sadly, but yay top hats!
3. Angelina in her goth phase. Because that shit is hot (and also because it kind of shits me that they keep picking on her wearing this dress to the Oscars. I don't think it's that bad FFS.)
4. Also? Lyn-Z's school girl thing, because ties, vests, tiny skirts and boots are HOT.
See? HOT.
5. I feel like I HAVE to include this one, because I actually did steal Kimberly Wyatt's hair for about a year. I google-stalked her for her haircut and made my hairdresser try to copy it.
Not bad, right? Obviously it looks GREAT on her. Not quite as successful on me....
and nemoinis said How about your Top 5 Favorite Foods?
I'd just like to preface this by stating YES, I am ACTUALLY TWELVE, or at least I appear to have the palate of a twelve year old. I've gone for treat foods, so it's basically ALL sugar and fat...
1. Devonshire Tea
Scones with jam (jelly to you crazy foreigners) and whipped or clotted cream and a nice hot cup of tea! So very British, but when done well (with freshly baked scones, good quality jam and LOTS of cream - on TOP, cream on TOP - can you believe some people put the cream on the BOTTOM? PHILISTINES.) it's SO delicious.
2. Tim Tams
I had to include these, since they are the BEST biscuits (cookies to you foreigners) in the WORLD. Sometimes people compare them to Penguins but they are so much better. The best trick is to bite off the ends, suck hot coffee or tea up into the middle then let it explode in your mouth. SO. GOOD.
3. Ice Cream
Image was ENTIRELY unnecessary, but I've started a pattern now, so I need to stick to it. I am quite partial to Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough and Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter & Chocolate or even just some plain vanilla with a bit of Ice Magic. Mmmm. Ice Magic. Wow. I actually AM twelve.
4. Pancakes
And I mean PROPER pancakes! Big fluffy buttermilk ones with melty butter and buckets of maple syrup. If I want crepes I'll ask for them dammit, so many places in Australia get it WRONG. Except The Pancake Manor in the old church in Brisbane always got it right, and it was open 24 hours to boot. Mmm. Pancakes.
5. Iced Frappe or Frappucino or Iced Coffee
Many names for the same thing, that is, coffee blended with ice and milk and sugar (sometimes ice cream also - yay) and topped with whipped cream. All your sugar and caffeine needs in one handy drink! I am kind of addicted to the ones they make at Starbucks because the ones they make at Nero aren't creamy enough.
So yeah, how about that? I have the palate of a twelve year old. No one is surprised.
I still have a few more top 5's left, so expect another post at some point.
In the meantime, why not sign up to write some happy Pete/Mikey fic? Because there really will never be enough in the world.
And in other, other news... Brendon, WHAT?

Pete is NOT impressed.
Not. At. All.
