There's blood on your hands and I know it's mine, I just need more time...
It seems my purpose in life is to steal memes...
The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you.
That, and listen to angsty music. Thank you, White Lies. My mind is now officially full of tragedy, unrequited love and bad behaviour at funerals.
Also, I spent a large portion of today casting my favourite books in my head. As I often do. The one that stuck me was Good Omens. (Fair warning: I have loved this book for a long time and will rant about it on a semi-regular basis) Now, I know it was going to be made into a film but it fell through, and the rumoured casting choices were Johnny Depp as Crowley (well, YES. Clearly. Because it's Johnny Depp. And it is clearly specified in the book; 'good cheekbones') and... get this... Robin Williams as Aziraphale. WHAT THE FUCK.
That is wrong on so many levels.
But anyway, the point is I can't come up with perfect casting for Good Omens. Got any ideas? Who is Aziraphale: English, intelligent, and gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide? Who Crowley, the dark-haired Angel who did not Fall as much as Saunter Vaguely Downwards?

Hmmm... English, intelligent and gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide and a dark-haired Angel who did not Fall as much as Saunter Vaguely Downwards? You KNOW what I'm thinking, right?
Helllloooooo John and "Stephen". ^^
Although whenever I read it I'm thinking of Jon and Stephen but Jon is rubbish at British accents, as we all know. ;)

I KNOW. I KNOW.
Tweak the accents a little, make Jon a little prissier and less sarcastic, make "Stephen" a bit sleeker and sluttier, and BOOM. Instant Gaiman/Pratchett style (b)romance.
It's so perfect, it makes me happy. John can tutor him on the accent.
