Because today hasn't really been the best of days, and I have a headache and I seem to be on a health-plateau which is kinda... shitty feeling, but not enough to go to a doctor. I want to think about nice things. So, stolen from blythely;

Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.

Unless you're not a gourmet jellybean type person, then...alcholic drinks.

I generally can't afford jelly belly beans - I've only had them from my mum, when she's had them, and I think she only gave me the ones she didn't like, so I don't think my judgement is the best on that. As far as alcohol goes...

-olde english cider
-baileys glide
-medium white wine (had a really nice pinot grigio, but I confess usually I go for anything that's, like, £2.99)
-budweiser
-vodka and pineapple juice

It'll change as soon as I can afford more adventurous things. XD

*thinks*

Er, can I count 'Hay on Wye' as a bookshop? Because it is, essentially, a town made of books. It's like heaven. I need to go back there again.

-Hay on Wye (particularly the open air bit by the castley thing)
-Blackrock market (beautiful 1920s TE Lawrence book that I fell in love with)
-Albany Bookshop, Cardiff (they paid me in books. Doesn't get much better)
-er er... 'Chapters', possibly? In Dublin. copinggoggles and I spent ages rummaging around in the basement, finding random Patrick O'Brian books.
-Oxfam bookshop in Southampton. And the one in Winchester. And Cardiff. Oxfam bookshops in general, really. Cheap, and charitable. Maaaahvellous.

-You, and your art. And yes, if someone else had asked this question, I still would have said you. I love speaking to you, it makes my day better every time, and your Aziraphale kills me dead of love. :)
-copperbadge and his stories. He's woefully fond of terrible puns, but he always manages to cheer me up and is someone I trust, which is rare. And his stories are amazing, ridiculously so.
-chaos_pockets who is an inspiration. I've never met a kinder person, someone more willing to give her time to people. She's sensible and sweet and cheerfully cracky, and I respect her so much.
-darthrami, who is far nicer to me than I deserve. I don't know what I've done to inspire such friendship in her, but she's just absolutely lovely.
-*cheats* everyone on my friendslist (http://www.livejournal.com/users/villainny/friends/). I wouldn't have 'em on my friendslist if they didn't make me happy. Livejournal makes life worth living, some days.

-camomile and spiced apple
-redbush
-chai (made properly with half milk and star anise and cinnamon and the like)
-english breakfast
-afternoon tea

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Interesting. Children of what kind of age?

*ponders*

-Harry Potters
-Archer's Goon by Diane Wynne Jones (or anything else by her, pretty much)
-the Worry Website by Jacqueline Wilson
-Rebel Fairy by Lynne Reid Banks
-The little grey men by BB

It's been a HELL of a long time since I've read any kidfiction. :)

[villainny.livejournal.com]

-Yours. Seriously. When you friended me I cracked up.
-blythely
-bookshop
-copinggoggles
-bravecows

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Oh hell... it changes daily, just so you know.

-Hard Core Logo
-The Princess Bride
-Velvet Goldmine
-Pi
-Wilbur (wants to kill himself)

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Er... oh lord. Um.

-choral (Tavener, Thomas Tallis, Karl Jenkins, etc.)
-weird atmospheric songs (Mogwai, Amon Tobin, Godspeed you black emperor)
-pretty indie tales (the weakerthans, the decemberists)
-silliness (they might be giants, the bobs, silly folk songs)
-bad bad bad crack songs (dragostea din tei, blue (da ba dee) etc.)

I'm a bad person. XD

It depends on the day of the week though, really. I could always make you a CD...?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

-Aziraphael and Crowley (who I will include as one although I'll admit that Aziraphael is my favourite, by a little way)

-The Them, older (because I have the ways they've turned out and the reasons why all in my head, and I need to write more about them - I've loved working out how they'd grow up, and how the relationships between them would evolve)

-Billy Tallent (who I miss terribly - he didn't get much play in milliways after the cabal he was a part of fell apart. I love the way he feels in my head - kinda energised and twitchy and itchy. He has a unique head-voice)

-The Marquis de Carabas (I've not played him enough in Milliways, but he has an absolutely fascinating potential. There's a world of stories I could tell about him, I suspect, but I think I need to improve my writing first or he'd be offended)

-Ted Tonks, weirdly enough. (He's appeared fully formed in my head, and I'm trying to work out why he is the way he is. He's endless fun to play)

glad to entertain... XD
