The 30-Day Fandom Meme: The Monkees, Day 6, plus other stuff
So, MTV.com is having this "Battle of the Boy Bands" thing where you vote for your favorite boy band versus others. I voted for the Monkees, of course, but the lack of Rockapella on that competition... MTV, you disappoint me. Which is probably why I never watch you.
...Anyway, this meme from spreckenzeedeu:
What's your full name?
You're not getting it. XD; As far as the internet is concerned, it's Crystal Rose of Pollux.
How old are you?
Old enough to have seen and appreciated Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego when it first aired, young enough to have seen and appreciated Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh when their English dubs first aired.
Are you married or engaged?
Been single since forever.
Do you have pets?
Nope.
Are you still studying anything?
Ahahaha, no. I do not miss exams.
Are you in love?
Love? No. Fangirl crushes? Yes. And it's gotten to be quite a list. XD; Simon, Darren, Scott, Sean, Elliott, Barry, Robert, Richard, Steve, and now Davy and Mike (and eeee, I am *adoring* Mike's vocals on "Sweet Young Thing"). For those keeping track, that's 3 New Yorkers, 2 Texans, 2 Englishmen, a Frenchman, a Los Angelite, a Hoosier, and one from Washington State.
Do you think people need love to survive?
Pfft, no. I've done very well without it.
Whats your best trait?
My creativity?
Whats your worst trait?
Procrastination. Just... procrastination.
Were you a nice teenager?
I'd like to think so.
Were you/are you a nice young adult?
I'd like to think so, too.
Have you ever hurt anyone?
I sure hope not.
What's the best thing in your friends?
They're just that awesome.
What's the worst thing in your friends?
Like Iris said, they live too far away...
Are you jealous?
Nope; have nothing to be jealous of.
Are you possessive about your friends?
Nope
If someone's being irritating do you tell them?
Usually, no, I just shut up and try to ignore it.
Can you take a joke when it's aimed at you?
Depends on the joke.
Can your friends take the joke if you joke about them?
I wouldn't know...
Last movie you saw?
Mrs. Pollifax, Spy.
Last book you read?
One of my Archie comics. Definitely a guilty pleasure.
Last tv show you watched?
The Monkees!
Last song you listened?
The aforementioned "Sweet Young Thing" by the Monkees
Last song you bought/downloaded?
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" -- The Monkees
And now, Day 6 of the 30-Day Fandom Meme (Monkees TV-verse): Character who probably had an interesting childhood
Hmm, I think all four of the fictional personas of the guys could qualify here, and we know so little about their backstories. Davy has quite a tale to tell, coming all the way from Manchester, and I'm sure Mike has quite a few tales from the Texas farm. Micky and Peter... Hmm. We know even less about their backstories, but Faye was suggesting the other day that it could be very intriguing if Micky and Peter knew each other the longest (kinda like how in my Hogan's Heroes headcanon, LeBeau and Newkirk know each other the longest), and it's definitely possible! And even if it was a bigger stretch, I'd like to think something similar for Davy and Mike, as well.
