Five Things - Multiple Fandoms (Dead Like Me, Star Wars, The Departed, Boondock Saints)

[wook77]

For quarterturn - Five Jobs Connor and Murphy Worked

1.) Janitor. That job lasted little longer than the four minutes it took to get the brooms out of the closet.
2.) Bouncer. We'd rather be drinking that stopping others drinking. Though the free drinks were worth the shitty pay.
3.) Priest. Well, more like Brother if we even reached that point. We thought we had a calling for the priesthood but the priesthood showed us how wrong we were for that.
4.) Delivery men. Bit too dangerous, though, once the Orangemen got wind of our route. The training helped us out later on, though.
5.) Waiter. Connor thought he could do it and I tried to tell him he couldn't. Wouldn't listen to me. Asshole looked hilarious in his little tuxedo.

For jehnt - Five times Wedge Antilles wished he were elsewhere.

1.) The Awards Ceremony on Yavin IV. There were too many good men that should've been there instead. If I hadn't pulled out when I did, maybe Biggs would've been there with me.
2.) Two words: Lieutenant Kettch. Do you really think I wanted to fly with an Ewok on my lap? I'm still getting ribbed for it.
3.) Hoth. Any day. So cold it'd freeze your balls off and that was on the warm days.
4.) The testing. Luke talked to anyone and everyone about whether or not they were sensitive to the Force. I told him I wasn't. If I told him once, I told him a thousand times and he wouldn't listen. I'm not Force Sensitive and I know it but he wouldn't listen. It was almost demoralizing not to be able to do anything with it.
5.) When I had to talk to Admiral Ackbar about Jesmin. It never gets easier to explain the loss of one of your own, especially to your commanding officer about his niece.

For chaeldub - Five times the MacManuses wished they weren't brothers.

1.) Never. Connor is a part of Murphy and Murph's a part of Connor, of course. Wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they weren't brothers.
2.) Not even when Connor's insisting that he's the eldest. Murphy knows the truth but lets Connor believe as he wants. It's important to Connor, makes him think about both of them deeper and Murphy respects and honors that.
3.) Then again, there's when Murphy's showering. Murph wants the feel of other hands ghosting over his body, rubbing the bar of soap against his skin and forming a lather over his body.
4.) The looks in the morning, separated by a foot of air that might as well have been a mile. Murphy wonders if he'd be breaching that distance were it anyone other than his brother on the other side of that gulf.
5.) When he meets his Maker. He'll have to explain why he let his brother sink deep into his body and touch him like he did. He isn't sure that telling God that the feeling of completeness outweighs the darkening of his soul. It's a problem he'll think about later.

For anon - Five ways that Dignam planned to help Costigan –

1.) Fuck this. That little shit had better help himself. He thinks that I'll get him out of another fucking arrest and more fucking jail-time, he's got a few years in jail coming to think about that. No fucking way.
2.) Fucking prick didn't go get help after Costello fucked up his arm again? What the fuck am I supposed to do? Coddle him and kiss it all better? Like I told Queenan, it's Queenan's job to make sure that he's getting taken care of. It's not my job to make sure the kid's healthy.
3.) Why the fuck would I help that little lace curtain motherfucker? I've already quit my fucking job to protect him. That's above and beyond as far as I'm fucking concerned. You want more from me? Fuck you.
4.) Fucker can't even pick up the fucking phone? Christ, I call him to find out what the fuck's going on with him and if his cover's been blown and does he answer? No. Not my fucking fault. It's not. Fucking asshole.
5.) If he'd waited five fucking minutes, he would've had back up. Five fucking minutes, is that too much to fucking ask for? It's not like he gave me any fucking notice, you know. I might've fucked a few cars up on my way there and I was still too late. Not my fault he was an impatient arrogant cocksucker. I told him that ego was going to get him in trouble. Fucking quoting motherfucking Shakespeare or Walton or whatever. Asshole. Not my fault he's dead. It's not. I'm not here to coddle the little bastard and wipe his ass.

For icyaurora8 - Five Things George Learned – after she died – That She Would've Liked To Do While She Was Alive –

1.) Ride a rollercoaster. Then again, death's been a rollercoaster ride anyway.
2.) Take Souls. Then at least she would've been surrounded by real soulless assholes instead of ones trying to snuff out that last bit of life she had. Fucking prick reporting her for losing that file. It's not like it was that important. Dickwad.
3.) Say "I Love You". They're small words that shouldn't mean as much as they do and now she just creeps her family out when she tries to show it.
4.) Dodge toilet seats. You knew this one was coming. Do you want to be known as "Toilet Seat Girl" for the rest of your dead existence?
5.) Hug her mom and sister. And maybe her dad. If he wasn't such an asshole to her mom.

I have another few to go and I'm working through them as I go. They've been brilliant so far and more are coming as I need a brain break so thanks loads! As always, I'd love to hear what you think!

Okay, EVERY TIME I watch SW and Wedge says he has to pull out and then apologizes for pulling out ... my mind goes to a wrong place. So I like that you mentioned it, lol.

And Lt. Kettch jokes NEVER get old. XD

These five things ... things entertain me so much.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I remember giggling over that when I was a kid and I wasn't even sure what I was giggling over, it just sounded dirty.

Lt. Kettch jokes RULE.

Also - I totally JUST got your comment about my lj layout :( I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you before now.

That's cool, hah. I figured it was something like you getting drowned in comments and missing it.

Dignam nr. 5: God, I love that one!!!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!! I love Dignam and his cursing. I can only imagine what he really felt when he found out.

[kabal42.livejournal.com]

Agreed. He looks so bitter when he comes to kill Sullivan. And there's (too me clearly) no satisfaction for him in doing so. It's futile, they are already dead, but it's fair.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like those! Hee, especially them as janitors, getting *ahem* distracted in the closet. :D

[wook77.livejournal.com]

You know, I hadn't even thought of that... I just thought of a shitty shitty job that they might get without greencards. Or, my sub-conscious thought of that *grins*. I have two of your other ones done, I'm just waiting to post a few en masse.

[icyaurora8.livejournal.com]

hehe i'm soo glad you did that one! it really makes me want to watch some Dead Like Me right now. i love that series... i REALLY need to get it on DVD. :-)

it always makes me a bit sad that she learned to live life more once she was dead, rather than when she was alive. but at the same time, i think that is one of the things i love most about the series.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I couldn't resist a Dead Like Me chance! I was so sad when the show got cancelled though I'd only ever seen it on dvd.

I like that she's finally realised how important it is to live. I love Mason more than is healthy, though. Honestly, I think that's why they're ALL there... they've all learned how to live even when dead.

[icyaurora8.livejournal.com]

i hate how the show got canceled, because i think it's one of the best ones they've had in a few years.

mason is one of my favorite characters!!! i think that is one of the major things about this show. it really does talk about some of the reasons life is worth living.

[chaeldub.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* I said Murphy's, didn't I? I'll be buggered if I know why I did but the second i did I knew it but thought - You'll know what I mean, but still *headdesk*

Seriously though, brilliant, really brilliant. Each one tells us exactly who they are, esp the first. Oh, but #4... mmhhhh, then followed by #5, how can so few words be so damn hot?

*claps*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

TTEEEEHEEE, you did but I thought maybe it was due to excitement or something :).

Thanks muchly! They really are connected at the hip and I'm sure the only times that they've ever wished not to be brothers is when they're going after the same girl or something, in reality instead of twincest land *grins*. I'm very glad you thought that was hot, I do what I can!
