purridot asked me five questions. Here are the answers:

1. What pops into your mind at the words “New York”?

A picture of the outline of the state, like from a map.

Gosh, that's boring.

2. What hobby or activity would you love to take up, but are too scared to?

I can't think of anything I'm scared to take up, just things I never seem to find time for. Tai chi, for example.

By and large, I am not attracted to things that scare me. If I'm scared of it (e.g., skydiving, cold-call selling), then I'm not interested either.

3. What (canon-ish) cliffhanger would you like to see at the end of House Season 4?

House is now living with someone but we don't know who.

(Except you and I do, don't we?)

4. What constellations can you usually pick out in the night sky?

Orion and the Big Dipper. I wish I could pick out more.

5. At a House fan convention: you find yourself at the buffet table reaching for the last slice of chocolate cake – and RSL is too. What do you do?

Realistically, I'd pull back and let him have it, and then watch him walk away while silently yelling at myself for not talking to him.

In my fantasy land, I'd offer to split it with him, and he'd say yes, and we'd sit and talk for at least twenty minutes while sharing the cake.

(In my night-time fantasy land, somehow this would lead to me licking crumbs off his face...)

On a similar note, my husband asked tonight what I want for Christmas. "Real things, he said. "Not for Robert Sean Leonard to come over and amuse you by telling boring stories about going to Pottery Barn to find a facecloth that matched his towel set."

LOLOL -- even Mr. Laundry knows RSL by now!

Hee! I've been looking forward to your answer for #5. Sadly, I think many of us would have the same shy reaction in reality while replaying the moment later with far different results. :)

I know : ( And then HugeLaurie (do you know her? she's awesome) would come over and say, "Hey, did you guys know RSL's here? I just talked to him for ten minutes while we were waiting for Hugh to tune up his guitar. God, he's boring!"

: )

Orion and the Big Dipper.

Those are all I can pick out too. I can recognize a couple of the brighter stars, but only because they're ... uh ... in Orion. Hee!

And Mr. Laundry sounds a lot like Mr. Nightdog.

*g*

These men of ours, sheesh. *smiles*

[courtberger.livejournal.com]

I laughed on the Christmas question, heheeh! :D

Court

He's a funny one, Mr. Laundry is!

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

I think I really like Mr. Laundry!

*cracks up*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He's a funny guy. *laughs*

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

I fully support your answer to question #5. Including the licking. <3

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. And our glasses would click, and we'd have to take them off... And I'd probably call him Wilson at some point, but it's my dream-land so he wouldn't care. : )

OMFGZ DEE!

OMG, your husband is hilarious. ;D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He's quite the card. :D

Not for Robert Sean Leonard to come over and amuse you by telling boring stories about going to Pottery Barn to find a facecloth that matched his towel set." LOL!!! That sounds like a wonderful Xmas. Who needs sugarplums and presents when you can hear RSL drone on about the important things in life?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm glad you've been spreading The Gospel of RSL (thou shalt be boring?). Regarding (5), if reports are to be believed, you could pick it up, eat a few bites, then put it back on the plate. It probably wouldn't make a difference to him... ;)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I do believe I've read those reports...

XD XD

I had to watch this DVD for work called "The Secret." In it, they said whatever you keep your thoughts concentrated on, you will attract to yourself.

So where are the naked celebrities? Come on, universe!!!

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I approve of your answer to 3 XD

I suspect that if I encountered the chocolate cake scenario, I'd say hello and then collapse in embarrassment and/or giggles.

I haven't tried asking anyone for RSL or Hugh for Christmas. Hmmmmm. AND it's my birthday soon, so I could have RSL for one occasion and HL for the other. There, sorted. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

#3 XD I have about ten scenarios in my head for that one...

Aren't you clever, to have your birthday and Xmas so close together? I think you should both RSL and HL on your Amazon wish list. *nods*

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I tried putting both on my list, but for some reason Amazon doesn't offer either of them for sale, only their work. How unreasonable! *sulks*

My mum tells me that I was due at the start of January - I obviously got fed up of waiting :D They let her out of hospital a day early, because it was Christmas (in those days they kept you in there for ten days after the birth!)

The only other constellation I can usually pick out is Cassiopeia -- the big sprawling W -- which I think we should petition to have changed to Wilson, don't you? And while we are at it, let's change the constellation next door, Cepheus -- Cassiopeia's husband -- to House, because it is sort of House-shaped. It was meant to be -- written in the stars.

I would hope that RSL would be gallant and let you have the cake! But if it's free...maybe not.

Mr. Laundry is certainly not boring, LOL! (Which leaves RSL for me :-)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You have the right idea for the constellations. I don't quite see the pictures in them that ancient folks did, anyway. : )

Mr. Laundry is a hoot when he puts his mind to it (and when he isn't nagging me to get off the internet).

Hee! Just be careful that you don't end up with a mouthful of nose hair.

I bet if you let RSL have the cake, he'd take one bite and complain that it's too dry.
