1. Your favorite qualities in a man.
- Humor, and that from a time to time he can show me that he cares. Also I'm a really big sucker for nice deep eyes and nice hair, but looks are not that important to me. He can be the best looking guy on the planet, but if he's a jerk, goodbye!

Tight embrace. 😛 Kidding. No, it'd be wit... good, intelligent humor.

5. Your main fault
I'm ridiculously socially awkward. I don't understand social cues, or customs. I was raised in a ridiculously liberal and open household, so I talk about whatever pops into my head. I have essentially no filter. What I think is what I say. I pry into people's lives and I don't know I'm doing anything wrong until someone tells me.

7. Your idea of misery.
Emptiness. Not loving anything/anyone and having no one love you.

I love Barney to pieces. he's my favorite HIMYM character. But I had never thought of him as hero before today. I like it.

 

[Mozzymandias]

I've never really though of Barney as a hero. Interesting.

He's a hero to me in the way he lives his life.

Confidence, Honesty, Not caring of what others think of how he lives his life, his love for his friends (e.g getting Lily and Marshall back together)

All values I hold high which makes him a hero of mine.

Also, he's awesome (sw)

And damnit I remembered another hero of mine...

NAKED MAN! 😀

[This Year's Girl]

yay, for so many people allready answering this! A real fun read! you're all so smart and funny!

Oh, and yes, in one question it says "me" instead of "you", the questionare was a bit strange and mixed the two of them from where I got it from, and I forgot to change that one. But I see you all got it anyway 🙂

 

[Mozzymandias]

That's interesting about going deaf. Oh, and I've been meaning to ask you - your username, has it anything to do with Morrissey? I hope so. 🙂

Nope, although I'm a bit of a fan.

My second name used to be Morris and I got nicknamed Moz.

Anyhow when people shouted my name I'd respond 'Yah?' to the point where it became the thing for my friends to call me Moz-Yah.

I made it an internet alias and took the 'H' off because it looked weird.

 

[This Year's Girl]

That's a great nickname to have. 🙂 And fun to hear that you're a fan too. 🙂 Do you like the smiths too?

Going through everybody's answers, I thought that it would be funny if somebody made an avatar or banner that says something like "Vahla Ha'nesh-We don't like Hitler."

 

[Washburne]

1. Your favorite qualities in a man.
Honesty, lack of need of proving himself, humour.

2. Your favorite qualities in a woman.
Charm, trustworthiness, honesty, smile and humour.

3. Your chief characteristic
Thinking way, way too much.

4. What you appreciate the most in your friends
The ability to make me feel relaxed.

5. Your main fault
See 3 , lack of confidence, too serious and trying to make a joke of most things. The last two go well together don’t you think?

6. Your favourite occupation.
Professional besserwisser. If it only were a real occupation and I was smart enough for it…

7. Your idea of misery.
Can I make an essay?

In general? Your kids dying before you.

8. What would be my greatest misfortune?
If you mean my, becoming homeless in every sense of the word since that would mean no family or friends what so ever.

9. If not yourself, who would you be?
I have no desire to be famous. Seem to be a lot of trouble. So an improved version of me.

10. Where would you like to live?
In a house with a beautiful garden and me not having to do one bit of cleaning, cooking or gardening. It’s better that way. Location? I like where I'm living.

11. Your favourite colour and flower.
Red, purple and possibly roses.

12. Your favorite bird.
Eagle

13. Your favorite authors.
Stieg Larsson, Liza Marklund, Dan Brown, John Grisham, C.S. Lewis and of course J.K. Rowling. Maybe I should add Jules Verne and Enid Blyton as well. Just light reading for me it seems.

14. Your favorite poets.
Sorry. Don’t have one. I could be biased and say my gran (that just died) since she wrote more than a few. But even if I have three booklets by her I can’t say that I remember enough to make that claim. The one read at the funeral was good and very fitting at least.

15. Your favorite heroes in fiction
MacGyver!

President Bartlett, Samwise Gamgi, Ianto Jones, The doctor (more specificly the tenth doctor).

16. Your favorite heroines in fiction
Modesty Blaise, Storm (X-men), Kitty (not called that for most of you so unless someone tell on me it’ll be my little secret.), Hermione and Willow.

17. Your favorite painters and composers
Da vinci although not based on his paitings as such so probably a terrible answer. Beethoven as a composer.

18. Your heroes in real life.
à…sa, Sandra and others like them. You know them? 😉

19. What characters in history do you most dislike
People that causes pain to multiple people.

20. Your heroines in World history
The first that came to mind is Jeanne d’Arc but I don’t know enough to say that with 100% certainty. But you can't go wrong with Rosa Parks can you?

21. Your favorite food and drink
Plankstek is yummy but so is the right type of sandwich cake. Drink? Water, tea,ice tea, milk, chocolate milk, beer, coca cola or sprite depending on the situation. Best answer would have been: None or way too many.

22. Your favorite names
Jasmine. I know, I know. Not the best name to like on a board about Whedonverse. 😛

23. What you hate the most.
People constantly trying to put others down.

24. The natural talent I'd like to be gifted with
Singing. At least if it goes along with the ability to play guitar.

25. How you wish to die.
A hero.

More seriously, fast and peaceful. Guess just sleeping in and not waking up is the best way.

26. What is your present state of mind.
Confused. When isn’t it?

27. Your favorite motto.
If I just remembered them I could name loads but since I can’t I’ll stick to one that I do remember. “It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice.”

As me the same questions in a week and I'll probably have some different answers for you.
