1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Make a movie.
'Course, the one thing I really want to do is leave this world, but the technology doesn't exist here yet to do that, so...

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
Ooh, dat's a toughy. I mean, the first questions I have to ask myself, actually, is a bunch of technical questions. For example: Do I go to that world to be this character, or am I that character as if they had been planted in this world? How much of me, my personality and memories, will remain intact; do I know I didn't used to be that person, or do I just look and sound like them and have access to their skills, powers, knowledge, and memory? Do I get to stay a lesbian, even if the character wasn't? Do I have to share their fate, or can we assume that I can avoid a premature death? For that matter, what happens if I run across the fiction that contains me in it? If I pick a cartoon character, am I a cartoon in real life or just how that character would look in the real world? These are all very important things to consider; they'll affect my choice dramatically.
My choices inclued people like Tank Girl, Susan Ivanova, Baby Bowler, Willow (Rosenberg, not Ufgood, smartass!), Chiana, Iria, Frankie Cook, probably others... It's really hard to choose, especially since I'd need the above questions answered before I could truly begin the narrowing process.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I'm jonesin' for the kinna tech we'd need for interstellar travel, something along the lines of Star Warsian hyperdrives.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
Janeane Garofalo. Maybe Clea Duvall. Either will do. :)

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
Gosh, um...I d'know. The thought isn't very appealing, right from the outset; just not attracted to any guys... Hell...Harrison Ford, I guess. Just for the right to brag that I had snogged Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and Jack Ryan. That's some serious geek cred right there. Heh.

Well, he's obviously not my first choice, of course, given that he doesn't have the lesbian cred, but you know...I had to make a choice and there it was! :)
As for #2, well...that was a very ambiguous question! :)

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Uhm, I would like to make a difference somehow. Probably by helping people with their problems because I'm good at that for some reason.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
I have to be really lame and go with one of the characters from the Vampire Chronicles, probably. XD

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
people would be more accepting... or at least tolerating.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
LOL. Mariska Hargitay.

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
JOHNNY DEPP, DUH!

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do? Get rid of everything I own that isn't necessary for sustaining life.
2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why? I think I'd like to be Hermione from the Harry Potter novels because she's brilliantly smart and gets do go on fantastic, if dangerous, adventures but doesn't have the extreme responsibility that Harry has. Also, she gets to snog Ron.
3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be? It'd be nice if everyone in the world could mind their own fucking business and stop using violence against one another.
4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be? Uh...not my thing.
5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?Famous? Johnny Depp. Just...buh. Non-famous? My ex-boyfriend :X I'm an idiot.

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Never wake up when it was still dark out ever again.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
Who? Claire Fraser. Why? Jamie Fraser.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
It’s a toss up. I would eliminate one of the following things from existence: either the person I hate most in the world or Wal-Mart. In suppose that in a perfect scenario, this person would be inside the Wal-Mart when it was purged from existence.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
Holly Madison. If I’m going to make out with another girl, I want a bleached-blonde with big tatas!

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
Right answer: my fiancé. Fun answer: Johnny Depp. There really are so many to choose from but he’s been around for a long time and keeps getting sexier, so he’s a solid choice. Yum.

(It's my first time! Be gentle...)

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
I would love to front a band. That's pretty much my big dream. I've always wanted to be an performer. Hell, even get me into a TV show or a movie. I just want to create and perform and touch people. Not a lot to ask for, I'd say.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
I'm already slightly Bridget Jones. I'm a klutz and mess things up with men...haha But I've never had two men fight for me or all of the other adventures she's had. Hmm. I don't know, really. Maybe Death. I love the way Neil Gaiman writes her. Maybe her. I've never really thought about this before, to be honest.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Honestly, I wish that people could become a little more tolerant of each other. I'm not saying hold hands with everyone and dance in a meadow full of daisies, but try to understand one another better. You don't have to completely understand or agree with the other person, but at least acknowledge them, you know? I also wish America could pick itself up. Shit economy, jobs are so hard to get, no health care for those of us *raises hand* that could benefit from some coverage. I'm waiting to see what happens in the coming year there.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
Ooo...you know, Christina Ricci is a gorgeous lady. And Drew Barrymore, too. I used to say Angelina Jolie, but she's way too skinny now. Not attractive to me.

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
My man, Dennis. He's by far the best to make out with. But if there were anyone else, I'd say Paul Rudd (he's just hot in a geeky kind of way...which is the best sexy there is, in my opinion) and Gerard Way. He's got the hot geek thing going on, too. But Dennis wins out over everyone, male or female, that I'd chose to make out with right now. Ain't he lucky?

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Be with child with Spaghetti's baby

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
Shane from The L Word ... she's hot, confident and doesn't give a fuck

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I'd be debt-free .... I hate feeling drowned by debt.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
Hehe ... seriously ... there are a few I could list for real

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
Spaghetti

Play in a band again. I'd love to be in a band that was just popular enough to make a living through music alone.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
Hiro Nakamura from Heroes. I'd love to have his power. I'd use it for both good and mischief.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I'd make everyone more tolerant.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
John Barrowman from Torchwood.

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
Tara Summers from Boston Legal.

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Become a famous author.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
This is a tough question for me to answer. I love so many characters in fandom but if I had to chose one I'd choose... L in Death Note. XD I know he dies halfway through the series but he's just so cool! A bit odd but really cool.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Religion. It just causes a lot of problems in the world and sometimes I think it would be better if it didn't exist... or if people knew how to tolerate other people's beliefs and realize it's arrogant to think your religion is the right one.... but that will never happen.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
The right answer would be my girlfriend. The fun answer would be Utada Hikaru. *.* She's so beautiful and has an amazing voice. *points to icon* See? She's very pretty.

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
I really don't know. The thought of making out with a male isn't very appealing because I am gay but if I had to chose someone I'd say Billie Joe Armstrong. He's in the band Greenday and plus he's bisexual. XD After he was done making out with me I could ask him to make out with a guy. *shifty eyes* I have a rather strange obsession with gay men which is odd for someone attracted to women.

Hodgepodge

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
Oh that is a tough one. Probably become a successful writer/author. Travel around the world would be another too.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
Another tough one. I'd probably choose one that I've made up.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Hunger or AIDS I think. Sadly we can't just cure the world.

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
Haha God. Why is this such a highly asked question? I have no idea. I don't ever think about this. Therefore I refuse to make myself think about it just for the entertainment of others.

5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
Much better question. There is a long list. Can't limit it to one. Orlando Bloom is probably the first though. Hehe!

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
I’m not sure what’s meant by the word “do”. If it means a one-time deal, I’d like to see the aurora borealis. If it means do one thing for the rest of my life, I’d like to open an animal sanctuary/organic farm.
2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
This might show more about my psyche than I’m willing to admit. I think either Jane Eyre, or Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, or Dorothea Brooke from Middlemarch. All three women fall in love with brooding, complicated men. Yup. That about sums it ALL up.
3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I know it’s a trite answer, but how about no more war?
4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
I think most women say Angelina Jolie, so I guess that’s my answer. No groping, though; I’m totally grossed out by women’s breasts. It’s almost pathological.
5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?
So many to choose from. Keanu Reeves, or George Clooney, or Chris Isaak. That’s my top 3.

Hodgepodge

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why?
3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be?

1. something that could possibly happen: become a doctor, help children
something that could not possibly happen: change my name from Melissa to Melina, grow long hair till my feet, become tall, become a singer, become a fairy tale princess, live in a small cottage in the forest in the woods, with animal creatures who could talk (I'd be like Giselle from Enchanted, except I have brown skin, my hair is black, and I'd also have an upright piano in my cottage. And I'd have an equally cute, but less egocentric prince).

2. Oh shoot, I might have answered that question already. I'd love to be a fairy tale princess like Giselle. I'd like to be Princess Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries. I'd never have dumped Michael though. Maybe I'd be one of the girls from The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Which one? That's another question's story.

3. for Canada and the U.S.: I'd get rid of hypertension, cancer, diabetes, depression --> I'd do something magical so that these people would live without illnesses like these
for countries in Africa: I'd get rid of HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses like those. I'd also make AZT cheap and available for everyone there.

4. Jennifer Morrison. She's not that much taller than me, so it could work.

5. Hugh Grant. I'd have to stand on a box, but he's a nice guy, so I think he'd be okay with that.

Well thanks for reading :-). I heart you for it.
