Variant Meme

[coalescent]

tomburnell suggested I complete this meme. Except he felt it would be more appropriate to complete it with Angel quotes rather than song lyrics. Who am I to argue?

With tongue firmly in cheek, then (and bearing in mind that much of this will only make sense if you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Angel plots and characters. Even though I'm going to provide attributions):


Anything in quotes is someone talking to me or about me. Anything not in quotes is something I'm saying.

1. Are you male or female?

Clearly masculine. You get that, right?

- Sahjan to Holtz, 'Quickening'

2. Describe yourself

Tall, funny looking, weird hair...

- Vampire to Connor re: Angel, 'Deep Down' (OK, so this one's a slight misquote...)

3. How do your friends feel about you?

"You're the reason we've all come together. It's your mission which animates us. We each contribute, it's true, but you - you're unique. You're like one of these rare volumes. One of a kind."

"I've got three of 'em"

- Wesley and the shopkeeper, 'Couplet'

4. How do you feel about yourself?

I don't dance...I echo.

- The Ballerina, 'Waiting In The Wings'

Alternatively:

What we once were informs all that we have become...

- Darla, 'The Prodigal'

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend:

I'm fine. I've been a solo act most of my two hundred forty-plus years and when I wasn't? Never turned out well. I like being alone.

- Angel to Lorne, 'Couplet'

6. What would you rather be doing?

Now I rule Europe, Australia and South America! Three fifths of the world covered in water, the rest covered in me. Who's your ruler, baby? What's my name?

- Gunn to Wesley, 'Blood Money'

7. Describe where you live:

People moving through their lives. I wonder if anything ever really changes...

- Angel to Cordelia, 'Somnambulist'

8. Describe how you love:

We've been working together for - a long time. What I mean is, you've become a truly extraordinary woman. I know we haven't always gotten along but - I think that we, you know, we...

- Angel to Cordelia, 'Waiting In The Wings'

9. Describe how you want to be loved:

"I used to think that. I thought love was - something that swallowed you whole. Ripped you up inside, but, you know, what I feel...even that fear...it's - it's not terrible. It's beautiful."

- Angel (talking to Wesley about Connor, but you get the idea) in 'Loyalty'

10. Any thoughts on life?

In the greater scheme, the big picture...nothing we do matters. There's no grand plan, no big win. And if there is no great and glorious end to all this - if nothing we do matters - then, all that matters...is what we do. Because that's all there is. Now, today.

- Angel, 'Epiphany'

(What, you thought I was going to get through this without mentioning 'Epiphany'? Nah...)
