Rules:1. Go to this website. 2. Pick fifteen characters from any fandom. 3. Tag five or more people.

1. Your mum/dad: Jack Harkness (Doctor Who)

He’d be fun at least, when he wasn’t flirting with everything in sight

2. Your sibling: Leslie Knope(Parks and Recreation)

I think she’d be a very positive influence

3. Your grandma/grandpa: 10th Doctor (Doctor Who)

At least I have a grandfather who can travel through time and space, I guess

4. Haunts you: Flynn Carsen (The Librarians) 

Well...might be handy for like trivia 

5. Your boyfriend/girlfriend: Kate Todd (NCIS)

Yeah....not a problem

6. Your ex: Donna Noble (Doctor Who)

I can only hope she realized she deserved more(Also am realizing how many women I put on this list)

7. Your best friend: Ann Perkins (Parks and Recreation)

She’d be an awesome friend

8. Proposed to you: Clarke Griffin (The 100)

This will not end well for me

9. Your boss: Gibbs (NCIS)

Well, he might be an ass, but at least I know he’d always have my back

10. The random person you met at the bar: Peyton Charles (iZombie)

Aww, she’d be so sweet

11. Your rival: Seeley Booth (Bones)

I should probably rethink my choices, don’t want him as a rival

I uh....yeah...

I think this could be fun, especially after the right brain

No complaints here

15. Gave you your favorite dessert:Ziva David (NCIS)

Hmm...yeah, this seems pretty likely.

I’ve bought issues at the local Barnes and Noble bookstore here in the US. They’re usually in next to the sci-fi and horror magazines.

You can tell a lot about a person from their music. Hit shuffle on your iPod, mp3 player, etc. and put the first 10 songs!

All my guilty secrets, eh?  ;)

I was tagged by the gorgeous @fuckyeahtatennant. Thank you so much, love! :D

1. Do you have any pets?

Sadly no, but I’d love one. We used to have budgies and a dog, many years ago.

2. Are you the sort of person that gives other people nicknames?

Not intentionally. I always start by using the person’s actual name, then hubby goes “Who?”, so I have to include a describer. In the end I just say something like “her that can’t act”, “across the road”, “him that’s the waste of space“ or “up by Tesco’s” to differentiate.

3. Do you believe in anything supernatural?

Yes. My mother instilled within me that there was something beyond death, we had an Ouija board for years, I used to accompany her to psychics and I’ve seen things that aren’t easy to describe. I also know that certain frequencies can induce such experiences, as can the way buildings are laid out; so I’m more than willing to accept a scientific explanation for something. But I see no harm in accepting that there is more to life than the things we can see, whether that means tuning into more pagan aspects of my culture or not.

4. Pet peeves?

People smoking and leaving their detritus everywhere is my main one, physically doing Christmas shopping, gratuitous sex scenes in the media that try to dismiss it as men needing eye candy, bad acting, neighbours who play their music far too loud, same neighbours who also feel a need to scream at their children to shut up (cos we all know that works… not), and any behaviour that isn’t respectful towards other people.

5. What is hanging on the walls of your bedroom?

Oh, this is shaming… a three picture framed photo presentation of DT as the Tenth Doctor, several postcard sized collages of photos of DT in various roles, a calendar containing (you guessed it) images of DT from each role, and a cardboard cut-out of DT as the Tenth Doctor that is half life-size.  In my defence, all of these images were gifts. I used to have a beach scene, a watercolour of the steeple of the University of Glasgow, Kelvingrove, and another watercolour of two Scotsmen in kilts on the wall; but they fell down and not been replaced since I expect to move very soon.  

6. City or country? Why?

I’ve always lived in an urban situation, although where I live now is only a couple of minutes away from open countryside despite my nearness to everything a city can offer. Soon I’ll be living in a village, so I’ll let you know which one I prefer.

7. If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be?

Probably Catherine Tate. I admire her enormously, know that she is very shy so it would take a while to get comfortable with me around, and I’d love to quiz her about her work.

8. Are you a glass half-full or half-empty person?

Hmm. My natural tendency is to say that the glass contains half the amount of liquid possible; but I’ve been working for years on a Pollyanna personality/attitude. It’s hard work, but I feel much better for it.

9. Who are your favourite artists?

I love all sorts of artistic works. I’m not sure if this means art, music, media, or dance. If we’re talking art then I’m rather fond of William Turner, Alexander Miller, Beryl Cook, Alphonse Mucha, Andrew Wyeth, Mairi Hedderwick, and John William Waterhouse.

10. Do you enjoy any sports, watching and/or playing them?

I used to think I hated watching sports, because I was forced to watch football, rugby, wrestling horse racing, tennis and cricket. But thanks to alternate channels’  experiments, I’ve found that I love some motorsports, sailing, snooker, women’s football, cycling, swimming, and many other non-mainstream sports. As for playing sports…. Pft! Nope, that doesn’t happen anymore, and rarely did before that. As a ‘plus-size’ person, I was always mocked for trying any sport. 

11. Describe your best friend.

Well, my best friend is very sleek, he’s (I say ‘he’ because of the name hubby gives him)… oh, you mean real best friend and not my laptop?!! I suppose I’ve got to opt for hubby in that case. He is taller than me, older, my means of support and leading pain the neck. ;)

Assuming that I now choose 11 people I tag: @smackalicious, @soniczephyr, @wizardwarriorwolf1011, @some-thrilling-heroics, @noteissignedlc, @accio-spaceman, @luinelengel, @depressions-knight, @helloprilly15, @freddietobi, and @reginafreak.
