Crossed wires; Five Things

[trinityofone]

wychwood sent this to me, a real screencap of her del.icio.us page:



It's like an advert from another universe! (Also, dude, I totally want one of those on my phone.)

In the last..er, hour or so, I have been contemplating the fact that my only contribution to the Five Things Meme has been a cheat. I don't think I'd be able to do as good a job as some of the other people I've seen (especially cereta—have you read her entries? They're wonderful), but, I can do something slightly different: a Puddlejumpers Edition.

This is the meme, for those who don't rememeber or (miraculously!) haven't seen it:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "Five Phrases Batman Will Never Say", or "Five Jobs House Wishes He Had" or "Five Things Dean Will Never, Ever Tell Sam"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!

Puddlejumpers prompts only, please. (Though if you're desperate for something else, and you sneak it in there, I may very well answer. WHO KNOWS?)

Five Recording Sessions Teyla Will Never Forget.

and/or

Five Times Someone Else Played with the PJs.

[sparktastic.livejournal.com]

Yay Puddlejumpers! Okay, prompts.

-unwanted groupies
-endless bus journeys on tour
-equipment malfunction
-hostile crowd
-video shoot

Um. I'm sure I can think of more, if none of these grab you...

[sparktastic.livejournal.com]

...and clearly I can't read instructions! Ignore me.

*hides under a rock*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's okay! Any of the above can be turned into a Five Things. And they may be... *mysterious*

[sparktastic.livejournal.com]

If you can salvage anything from my brain-dead response, I am ridiculously pleased.

*glomp of relief*

Five Times John Didn't Tell Rodney The Truth.

(In my head, this is actually Human Vacillation verse, because I'm a total sap and predictable like that. But what the hell, it works for Puddlejumpers too.)

[persephone-il.livejournal.com]

Five times Rodney should have told John no, but didn't.

[saldemonium.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope that one gets written!

[wyomingnot.livejournal.com]

How about... .Five songs Rodney's written but will never share with John ?

*sneaky*

Five ways Joe and David made each other miserable.

(I am in that kind of mood!)

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

Okay, I suppose it works better if one understands that there is a band called the Puddle Jumpers... Although according to Google, a puddle jumper is also a type of shoe, a brand of waterproof kids clothing, a start up airline and a daycare center.

5 Songs The Puddle Jumpers will never perform live again.

or alternately:

Rodney's (or any of their's really) 5 favorite songs to play live.

[etben.livejournal.com]

...can I have five first dates that Rodney and Veronica don't go on? Or is that too screwed up? If it is, feel free to pass on it.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You can have anything you want. I owe you big time. (And last night I had a dream that you were super mad at me!)

[etben.livejournal.com]

Awww, don't be like that! You don't owe me anything, dear—life is HARD, and I understand that, so you're OK. And I'm not mad at you! My anger is reserved for John Sheppard, who insists on having POV in fucking everything.

...although, hmm. Anything I want, eh? *ponders*

Top 5 Reasons why Rodney locked John out of the puddlejumper.

Five musical collaborations the Puddle Jumpers regret afterwards.

Five Cities That Will Never Be the Same Again.

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

how about:

Five Cities the Puddlejumpers will never, ever, play on tour again (and why).

Five Awards the Puddlejumpers won (which awards, which bandmember accepted, what did s/he say in his/her acceptance speech?)

Five songs they play on every tour.

Five important people Shep pissed off (and what they did about it).

Five magazine covers the band was featured on (and why Rodney hates them).

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I love all your prompts. I may do more later. But here's one of 'em (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/99702.html).

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

and you did it brilliantly, too.

Five Reasons Why Teyla Has Always Known About John and Rodney.

:)) I love this universe.

OH MY GOD YOUR ICON.

[chinawolf.livejournal.com]

*cough* Sorry for the repost, uploaded the wrong picture at first.

I'm not very good at making manips, so after I took hours to make this without ever thinking it was good enough, and for more hours tried to get Shep's sunglasses into the picture but failing to get it just right, I gave up and just made the icon instead of sending you the covers. >_> Since it's not really the Puddlejumpers if Shep isn't wearing his glasses. Also, a million other not good enoughs. But there you go, anyway. Didn't know what font to use, if there is a special Puddlejumpers one...?



(The original is, of course, this one (http://pics.livejournal.com/chinawolf/pic/000kphac).)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You are a genius. I totally want make huge posters of that, or, or shirts! At the very least, I'm totally going to print it out at work tomorrow and hang it on my wall.

This is just...SO COOL.

[anna_luna]

Hmm... five times Rodney almost got what he wanted from John and didn't or possibly five ways Rodney finally left John and five ways John got him back?

This universe *fills me with angst*.

[wychwood]

How about one of...

- Five songs that someone in the band secretly wishes they still played live
- Five rumours that have circulated about Teyla
- Five fans who liked Rodney best
- Five times Rodney wished the coin-toss had gone the other way
- Five times they almost got outed (but didn't)

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

I have such love for this verse, despite and because of the angstacity. (I am a happy-endings person! I don't understand!) So many people have already suggested really awesome prompts. Um...

- Five ways they scared off groupies
- Five things they shouldn't have said during interviews

I also think it would be kind of fun to turn five SGA episodes into events in the Puddlejumpers-verse; like Trinity (but that's my trust-issues kink speaking) and Grace Under Pressure, etc, but I have no idea how that would even work so don't listen to me.
