Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading
From Judy Blume to V.C. Andrews, there's always a book circulating among teens that their parents don't want them to read. What favorite book did you have to hide from your parents?

TV Meme
Okay, I can pin this one on 
sinspired.
Name your top six TV shows right now, before reading the questions.
1. Numbers
2. Stargate
3. Stargate: Atlantis
4. Mythbusters
5. Dirty Jobs
6. Eureka
1. Who is your favourite character from #2 (Stargate)?
Daniel, of course.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4 (Mythbusters)?
Um, none. I like all of them.
3. What would a crossover between #1 (Numbers) and #5 (Dirty Jobs) include?
LOL. Let's see. Mike Rowe's newest dirty job would be cleaning Fleinhardt's tubey-thingy that the kid wanted to steal the sapphire from in the second season. I know, boring, but other than cleaning up a murder scene, there's not much else he can do.
4. Who is your favourite ship from #6 (Eureka)?
But there are no ships in Eureka... Dr. Who tied for number six, can I count the Tardis?
5. If you were to set one person from #3 (Stargate: Atlantis) and one person from #6 (Eureka) on a blind date, who would they be?
Rodney MacKay and Susan Perkins. If she thought her first husband was bad... *evil laugh*
6. If you could meet one person from #4 (Mythbusters) and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Adam. We'd have fun figuring out new ways to blow poor Buster to itty bitty bits.
7. If you could change one thing about #2 (Stargate)'s plot line, what would you change?
*sniff* Find out a way to save it from ending...
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5 (Dirty Jobs), and why you like the relationship between them.
Hmm. Mike and his producer-guy. They have to enjoy what they're doing, especially since they both get knee-deep in muck as a matter of course.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 (Numbers) and #3 (Stargate: Atlantis) were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Well, Stargate can always assign someone else to the team, right (and have)? Charlie and Don are irreplaceable.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4 (Mythbusters), what order would you choose?
I can't even remember the order. Sorry.
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6 (Eureka), what would the character be like, and what would their role be?
Well, there'd be a new librarian in town. She'd strangely look a lot like me and find a way to figure out all of Eureka's secrets, write a series of best-selling fiction based on it (because who would really believe any of it?) and make a mint.
12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2 (Stargate)?
Jack and Teal'c relive the same day over and over and over again. Jack retires, kisses Sam and starts the day over again in a second. He and Teal'c dress in golfing togs and chip balls through the gate. Daniel keeps starting the new day asking poor Jack his opinion on something Jack wasn't even paying attention to the first time he heard it.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters in #1 (Numbers), who would it be and how would you do it?
Hmm. No one comes to mind. I like pretty much all of the characters right now.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 (Stargate: Atlantis) or show #5 (Dirty Jobs), which would you choose?
Um, Stargate. Mike would probably put me to work if I visited one of his jobs. Fuhgedaboudit!

(no subject)
Gakked from morchades:
Are you a demon worshipper? The rather arbitrary list of occult paraphernalia according to the now defunct DemonBusters website. Bold the items you own. Commentary is neat.
1. Occult games (I Ching, ouija boards, tarot cards, crystal ball, fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons) - A deck of tarot cards somewhere that I haven't touched in years.
2. Ashes from fire pits, including fireplaces and wood stoves - Ashes from my incense burner.
3. Robes and detachable hoods
4. Gongs, drums and bells - Um, how about a tin whistle and an ocarina?
5. Wooden stand for an altar, a marble slab or crosses - It's a nice little chest of drawers that doubles as altar and altar storage.
6. Chalice, goblet, cruet - My favorite is my Halloween green M&M goblet.
7. Phallus (sculpture of the male sex organ)
8. Heavy wooden staff, sword, knives - teeny, little knife (actually a letter opener)
9. Small velvet pillow, scarlet in color - Huh?
10. Bullwhip, cat o'nine tails, ligatures - Oh, sure. I stash them between my rack and Iron Maiden. Sheesh!
11. Mirror
12. Animal mask, possibly papier mache
13. Black satin or velvet glove for the right hand
14. Large ruby ring, worn on the first finger of the right hand
15. Flash powder, smoke bombs
16. Incense
17. Body paint, face paint
18. Metal crown with four candle holders
19. Ferns, palms - Does a dying philodendron count?
20. Human or animal bones (especially skull, long bones, finger bones)
21. Coffin - ROTFLMAO!
22. Ritual books, black books, diaries (such as the Book of Shadows, which may be handwritten)
23. Medallions with satanic symbols (such as pentagrams, peace symbol, yin/yang, etc.) - Wow. Peace signs are just so satanic.
24. Occult jewelry
25. Small animals in cages
26. Graph paper for fantasy games - Another does it count question - I use it for cross-stitch patterns and house designs.
27. Oddly shaped dice
28. Horror masks and costumes
29. Crystals
30. Small metal figurines of mythological nature - I guess this is where my altar decorations and my little Statue of Liberty candle holder come into play.
31. Posters of mythological beings, animals, half-animals
32. Nightmarish posters
33. Sexual, particularly sado-masochistic, posters
34. Posters of heavy metal and punk rock stars
35. Paraphernalia related to the martial arts
Hmm. I guess I'm just your garden-variety Pagan, then. Oh, pooh! I had so hoped to qualify as a demon worshipper. *rolls eyes*
