Meme Revival

[awanderingbard]

I was looking back through my journal the other day, as I am wont to do, and remembered how fun this meme was, so I thought I'd bring it back.

Character Questions Meme
1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. DO THIS FIRST.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it a canon person (Jack), an OC (Dr. Forrester) or whatever. Feel free to pick a character that was used last time, as the questions will most likely be different this time around.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here.

If you choose Mal or Fay or Graylin (or anyone of a minor age), any questions inappropriate to ask a child will be answered as though they were adults. You can choose a few characters if you so choose. I love these sorts of things, so any character, no matter how small, is really fun to do. :D

I meant to ask - did you get my ficathon story? There's no rush on the beta, I just want to make sure you got it.

[tigerkat24.livejournal.com]

I have it, yes. It's sitting on my desktop, and I should have it back to you by Sunday. Sorry for the delay!

No worries at all, no rush. I just wanted to make sure you got it.

Dr. Forrester

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
My wife, Samara (mention The Ring and she will kill you dead). She is the person whom I see every day (hopefully) and who looks after me and whom I love. In strictly non-romantic terms, she is the most interesting person I know and the first person to whom I want to tell news.

8. To which social class do you belong?
The Forrester line of which I am product has had an unfortunate habit of having the second sons of second sons as patriarchs. As a consequence, though my distant ancestors were elite, my parents' generation were comfortably middle class, nearing upper middle class. We hardly had tea with any dukes, but there was enough money to get myself and my brother through medical school, with a little saving and many nights waiting tables on my part.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Good Lord, I hope a good many people! Samara, certainly, and my parents. My brother and his family as well. What a terrible question to be asked.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
Murder mysteries. Preferably from the 1930's and 40's. I enjoy trying to solve the puzzle and there is something quite glamorous about leggy dames swaggering into an office, reeking of sex and danger. I also like tabloids when I'm at work. They give my mind a rest and warn me of impending attacks by half-man half-bat armies.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
It would depend on the situation, but I would say I generally do. If I had a choice, I'd prefer to be at home, but if I'm out and about, I do tend to lead conversations. I am hardly the life of a party, however.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
6'2", brown hair which curls when I need a haircut, eyes which I would describe as swamp sludge coloured but my wife would call 'hazel green', usually never clean-shaven despite my best efforts and often dressed in scrubs which, as I have a complete inability to match colours, probably is for the best. A bet undertaken when I was extremely drunk has earned me a Celtic knot tattoo between my shoulder blades, which I am nonetheless rather fond of. I have a scar on my lower right flank from having my appendix removed and another on the back of my right shoulder from having fallen out of a tree and breaking my collar bone as a child.
(Author's Note: Forrester has always looked like Clive Owen in my mind)

69. Do you care what others think of you?
I care what people think about my abilities, but not really what they think about my manners or personality. It would upset me more if you thought I was a bad doctor than if you thought I was an obnoxious git.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
I have a group of friends from medical school who are now spread across the globe, but who exchange e-mails with me regularly. All my childhood friends remain in England and I only see them when I return for visits. In Chicago, my best friend is Jamie Hennessey, who lived next door to me when I first came to America. He is an excellent person to get a drink with and would have your back in any bar fight. He was my Best Man.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I think American beer is rubbish, American football is silly and Manchester United is better than Liverpool. Other than that, no.

43. What are your political views?
I suppose I am quite liberal, politically speaking. I don't see any reason why same sex couples shouldn't be allowed to marry, I think women have the right to abortions, so long as it isn't used as a birth control method and teenagers need more sex ed than 'don't have sex'.

Eta: The bit about the tattoo, which was excluded because I couldn't decide what/where and then when I woke up this morning...I could. Which is why you should never post anything without sleeping first.
