A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

B) Tag five people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
If you feel like it.. ;)

1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:
Uhm, my glasses which I should be wearing, the Thunderbolt and Lightfoot dvd, a James Dean poster, a tangerine-shaped candle and a Bruce Springsteen cd lying on my desk.

2. How do you style your hair?
I don't. I dry it when I wash it and that's it. If it comes out alright fine, otherwise I'll tie it for the next three days.

3. What are you wearing now?
Black trousers, black sweater, blue shirt under the sweater.

4. What's your occupation?
What she said.

5. Do you nap a lot?
Sometimes, but just when I didn't start the day well.

6. Who was the last person you hugged?
My mother?

7. What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Pf, Lost and Bruce, but that's not news.

8. What was the last thing you ate today?
I had breakfast? A lot of coffee, not so much milk and crackers with orange marmalade.

9. What was the last text message you received?
You remember my uber religious (former) friend? He sent me a text saying last morning there was an interview airing on the national tv about his conversion (which wasn't a conversion. He became a fundamentalist, which is different than conversion, but anyway). Of course I didn't watch it, also because I saw it too late and I was studying rather than checking a program called The road to Damascus.

10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LJ, lastfm, yahoo, my newspaper's site, youtube.

11. What was the last thing you bought?
Uhm, a comic book? Can't remember.

12. What are you listening to right now?
What Love Can Do by Bruce Springsteen.

13. What do you think about before you go to bed at night?
How the holy fuck am I going to write that Jack/Sawyer fic which I have in my head but can't seem to actually write? But that's specific. It depends.

14. What was the last CD you bought?
Working on a Dream for myself. ;)

15. What is your favorite weather, and why?
Warm and sunny, but not uber-hot. Because I like to be out but when it rains it sucks and I hate, hate, hate cold.

16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
I'm the worst bass player in existence but I do play it when I manage.

17. How are you?
Cold as hell and Kant is killing my head, but in a week it'll be over. \o/

18. What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I don't have an idea and I can't come up with another question.

19. Say something about the person who tagged you:
She's awesome! And she rightly envies the camera who got sexually harassed by Mr. Springsteen at the Superbowl. ;) ♥

And stolen from [livejournal.com profile] lenina20 because it's way cool:

Pick a pairing - canon, made up, crossed or otherwise, and I will tell you five reasons why they're together.

*beams* Oh, thank you! At least one I know. ;)

1. Because when someone saves your soul and you're honest enough to admit it to yourself, then you're honest enough to admit also that there's no one you'll be as close to as to him. Even if he's long, tall and ugly and if he doesn't appreciate your humor.

2. Because Eddie is the first and only person whom Roland never really let down. Back when he was young he failed Susan and he failed his friends; and while Jake was the first other person he really could say he loved after such a long time, he had still let him fall to feed his obsession; Susannah might have stopped trusting him or believing in their mission after Eddie died, but that's not the point. Until then, they might have argued and fought and disagreed, but still, Roland can safely say that he doesn't see an abyss when he thinks about Eddie, and in his case it's the exception and not the rule.

3. Because Roland understands Eddie like no one else does or ever did, and Eddie brings out a good side of Roland which most times is unknown even to Roland himself. Eddie can't forget how it took Roland only five minutes to understand which were exactly his issues with Henry, and Roland knows that if not for three good months spent in Eddie's constant company he would have never even thought about cracking a joke, as lame as it was.

4) Because they're both Tower-junkies; maybe Eddie thinks he isn't as much as Roland is and it's probably true because you can't beat a life spent searching for it with barely three months, but when you quit something addictive, it's easy to find another one soon and he's no exception.

5) Because Roland gave Eddie a second chance when he doesn't think he was ever given a first at all (he doesn't think he has actually had a real grip on his life until he told Roland he was going with him) and that's why he knows there's no one else in the world he loves as much.

These are such great answers! I love reading about your love for these characters. It makes me want to reread some of my favourite Dark Tower chapters. I always had a lot of love for Eddie, though Roland left me a little cold. I guess I could learn to love Roland more through Eddie's eyes. He does bring out the best in his mentor (though humour is not Roland's strong suit). It often feels like a tough love relationship, but the love part is very deep and strong.

Thanks for your answers. BTW, did you do a Quill interview recently or did I imagine it? I got rather behind with LJ last week. I think I've missed some posts I want to read.

Glad you had fun reading them! *sigh* Those two are sooo my King OTP in general, while reading the series I shipped them so hard it wasn't even funny. Eddie always was my favorite part of the half without questions (hell, I don't think I ever loved a fictional character as I loved our friend Eddie Dean) but I always had a thing for Roland too, apart from the fact that I can't not like someone who looks like Clint Eastwood. ;) And seriously, while I did like Susannah until the end and I never minded Eddie/Suze that much, I always felt that those two really loved each other. With all the necessary bickering in between.

Yeah, I had an interview! It's here (http://community.livejournal.com/thequillstation/16648.html#cutid1). ;)
