Warning: This application is inherently spoilery. I'll try to avoid saying things right out when I can, but we are only recently seeing a lot of Desmond as a regular castmember so there are certain things I can't ignore. Maybe if you get uncomfortable reading posts that may spoil you, you can look at my pretty pretty icons and be comforted. Or something.
For those who don't mind being spoiled/want to know more about the show/character, Desmond David Hume from ABC's Lost. (Spoilers are clearly marked!)
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cheddar is a rather generic answer, but I'm afraid it'll have to be mine. It's the only thing I've had in the past three years. About half of the food drop is Dharma cheddar cheese, sharp, which makes me wonder if a lactose-intolerant could survive on this island for long...
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I'm impartial. Why should I have to kill either of them? I suppose if I were really into the not liking them bit, I would want to do something other than kill them. Dying is the easy way out, isn't it?
3. What time is it where you are?
I lost all sense of time years ago, brother, when it was nothing but me and that damned ticker.
But then the hatch imploded so now I don't even have 108-minute increments to go by... my sense of time is so skewed that thinking about it gives me a headache.
4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
First off--a well-established man such as Dumbledore, sexually harassing? I would have thought that he'd have a well-established relationship at his age. Something requited and dreadfully romantic. I'd like to think that I'd be with Penn by that age. Keeps me going.
But if I absolutely had to choose, then, I suppose I'd go for Molly Weasley. Something about the warmth and the charm and I obviously need a woman who can look after me because I've not done such a good job doing that myself.
5. If you are pushing to be in:
A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
Your commas are a bit confusing, brother. Do I bartend in the dark? Wouldn't that be difficult? I have a feeling I'd spill something. No, I know I'd spill something, and it's not a very successful bar when you cover your customers in their mixed drink.
That aside, I like the idea of "Great Scott!" Not only because I'm Scottish, but also because it's a lot of fun to say.
B. Gryffindor ā Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
Well, among twins there always seems to be the 'good' and the 'bad', so my opinion is, which does he like better? The scruffy, unlawful type or the do-gooder?
It's Fred and George, though, so I guess maybe he should flip a coin or something.
C. Ravenclaw ā You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though Iām constantly disposing of it.
It's symbolic of an existential crisis.
Go get your fortune read, mate. Trade me some shaving cream and maybe I'll do it for you.
D. Hufflepuff ā Prove you are not useless.
I saved the world every 108 minutes for three bloody years. Isn't that enough for you? I also save babies. So what if I was dishonorably discharged.
6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.
Dickens. I have a whole library of Dickens. Best stuff in the world. You won't regret it.
I also have a bottle of Dharma 40-proof in my sailboat, if you aren't the literary sort.

Date: 2006-10-31 04:45 pm (UTC)Word to the wise: There's lots of us who've come back from the dead here. You just appeared here, right? Don't know how you got here? Some of us did that right after we died - not me, I'd been a ghost for what turns out to've been a long long while - point is, lotta people around here are touchy about the whole dying thing. Some more than others, and some more dangerously than others. I'd step lightly around the whole issue if I were you.
*sighs again*
I'm Laura, by the way, and this is my telepathic treecat, Galahad. He thinks you're basically nice but not quite right in the head. Any comments?
