James - my name
Leave a comment saying "Mullet with headlights!"
- I'll ask you five questions to satisfy my curiosity.
- Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
- Include this explanation and offer to ask other people


I asked xheartrockx if she could think of anything ... as I am pretty open, and we first met on a very cool morning in Cardiff, so chatted a lot right from day 1 .... Anyway, this was her reply:-

Let's see if I can come up wtih something new for you :)

1) If you could re-live one day of your life, which day would it be?
2) Would you change anything about that day?
3) If you could "visit" one Buffy-episode, which one would it be and why?
4) The classic - if you were stuck in elevator with James, what do you think you'd talk about?
5) If you were to receive an award for something, what would you get it for?



1) If you could re-live one day of your life, which day would it be?

Oh boy ... that's a hard one!  I had these questions a couple of days ago, actually.  But found it hard to decide on one day ... So, I've cheated and am going to list 1 event, 1 day and one hobby!

1 Event -
Bet you can guess this ... it would be any time I met James.  The first time was special, the first "day" (when I met xheartrockx )was special  ... and so on.

1 Day -
My graduation ... July 1st 1983, when on the last day of a four year course I collected my diploma.  After being bullied, college was special.  I made a lot of friends, but that day was like the last episode of M*A*S*H ... I knew I wouldn't see some of them again.  So it wa s day of highs, but poignant at the same time

1 Hobby -
I love sight-seeing.  So, my first trip to Venice was magical ... as was my day in Washington DC.  I've loved all cities, but those 2 are the most special.

2) Would you change anything about that day?

My time with James ... I wish I could remember that first time, my James-fog was at it's worst!

My graduation ... No, that day was brilliant.

My trips ... Washington was brilliant, although I would have gone to The Jefferson Memorial if I could have (I did the rest!); and Venice ... I would have tried not to end up barefoot, after ripping my sandals falling obver on the Rialto Bridge!

3) If you could "visit" one Buffy-episode, which one would it be and why?

"Lies" - the first episode I saw.

It would either be that ... or "Fool for Love" ... just to see the range of actor characters that James portrayed!

4) The classic - if you were stuck in elevator with James, what do you think you'd talk about?

Ummmm, that's presuming that James-Fog doesn't kick in, Sway!!!  Still, I can usually speak when I have the autographs signed so should be OK!

Having recently seen the You Tube videos, and with a nephew of the same age (and seeing my brother) ... I would like to chat about James hopes and dreams for his 2 kids.

If we get stuck for longer, I would love to know what memories he has of his father's Church!!

Any longer, and goodness knows where the conversation would go!

5) If you were to receive an award for something, what would you get it for?

Another hard one.  I don't think I would ever get an award for anything ... no, that's not the "pity-me" statement, but just me thinking that I'm not really good at anything - just average, or maybe a bit above average.

Maybe, if pushed, I would say Loyalty to friends ... that is something I do feel passionately about.

"Mullet with headlights!"

You know I love these things. But your answers are great. Love the James in the elevator ones.

And you would deffinetly get that award.

I'm sure once I got through James-fog, we would chat about all sorts of things! He alsways seems to have a thought about most things, doesn't he?

Right - lets think -

1) Would you like to have visited the Space Station?
2) What was the colour of the last top/blouse/t-shirt you bought? Was it an impulse buy, or to go with a specific outfit?
3) Do you like driving, or do you only drive to get to a specific place?
4) Have you ever met any other Celebs, other than James ... whether yes or no, which was your best day "near" a celeb?
5) Have you ever wished that you had been born a boy?

Oh, I remember that morning... I can't believe I managed to survive the day in the heels and corset. Was a great day, though, for multiple reasons...

Ummmm, that's presuming that James-Fog doesn't kick in, Sway!!! Still, I can usually speak when I have the autographs signed so should be OK!
I guess the fog would wear off after a while, especially if you were actually stuck in an elevator. In my mind, I'd probably get annoyed by him because he just wouldn't stop talking, probably rant about the physics of an elevator :P

Maybe, if pushed, I would say Loyalty to friends ... that is something I do feel passionately about.
Oh, I like that. It'd be a sparkly one, too.
8th-Oct-2010 08:41 pm (UTC)
Yes, I still don't know how you didn't completely freeze!

Having heard James read about how much Harry Dresden distrusts lifts, maybe those ideas will have rubbed off on him! And I would hear about it!

Thank you - I like the idea of a sparkly loyalty award!

Yes, James-Fog is terrible, but as I just said to kudagirl I recon he would chat first ... then I could begin to recover, and be able to chat. I am able to speak to him at autograph thingies.

OK

1) Where did you go on your first date with Stevie?
2) Have you ever met any other celebs, other than James?
3) If you could be in one episode of Buffy - which one would it be?
4) Favourite James song - and why?
5) What would be that luxery that you would take on th desert island - and why?
8th-Oct-2010 10:47 pm (UTC)
I've met James several times and I still have James' fog. One nice thing about James is that if you ask him something, he goes off a mile a minute talking.

I saw strikske's post on this before I saw yours. I asked her to give me some questions.
9th-Oct-2010 01:24 pm (UTC)
Yes, I reconned that James chatting would get me through the fog ... so then we could both chat properly!
9th-Oct-2010 08:46 am (UTC)
Oh go on then.... Mullet with headlights!
9th-Oct-2010 01:23 pm (UTC)
LOL

1) If Dr Who had never been born (I know heresy!) ... but just try and imagine ... who would defeat the Daleks and the Cybermen?

2) If you had to design a flag for galifray - would it be a traditional one - stripes/spots/lines - ir would it be a Coat of arms?

3) What is your favourite story in the Old Testament - just a good story you like.

4) Go back to one event of the 19th century ... which one would you chose to watc?

5) If you could spend a day on mainland Europe - where would you visit?

Questions of win are win! I will get on this today :)

I'm late but MULLET WITH HEADLIGHTS!!

^_^

Ah the James fog...
11th-Oct-2010 10:25 am (UTC)
James-Fog ... long may it last!

MMmmm-

1) What was the first episode of BtVS that you saw?
2) What is your favourite role that James has had?
3) Do you like driving, or do you only drive to get to a specific place?
4) What is your favourite drink?
5) What would be that luxury that you would take on th desert island - and why?
11th-Oct-2010 12:09 pm (UTC)
1) Welcome to the Hellmouth, the first time it aired in France, back in July 1998. So it's been 12 years of BtVS for me!

2) Apart from Spike you mean? Bobby Comfort in Cool Money!!

3) I love driving esp at night. :)

4) Water. Or a cup of tea (lots of milk, one sugar). Coca Cola (the real stuff).

5) Robin Dunne. Cos I wants him and if I'm gonna die on the desert island (let's be realistic about the survival rate here) at least I'll die happy. ;) Or did I choose to go on that desert island? In which case I'd still take him with me.
12th-Oct-2010 12:40 pm (UTC)
Thanks!

Wow - 12 years of Buffy, 11 of Spike!

I love my tea - but it has to be strong, normal milk, and no sugar!

LOL - I love the island idea ... I know who I'd chose, but still can't think of an item if I can have a certain someone!
16th-Oct-2010 06:37 am (UTC)
Yup, never stopped. *grins*

Re the tea, some days I have sugar, some days I don't...

How about your camera?
16th-Oct-2010 11:54 am (UTC)
Camera - great idea ... Ta!
