better late than never, right, friday five?

thefridayfive. Every week they ask us to suggest new questions, and every week I want to post five questions like, "Isn't it awesome how The Friday Five forgets to post questions, then promises to do it later, then never does?" and "Do you ever wonder how hard can it fucking be to post five questions once a week?"
1. Favorite cereal and why?
Cracklin' Oat Bran, because it sounds like it's going to be awful, and it looks like it's going to be awful, but secretly it's just oatmeal cookies! And also there's like this secret club of cool people who know how awesome Cracklin' Oat Bran is, and will travel to two or three different supermarkets in search of a box, because Cracklin' Oat Bran sometimes just disappears from your life for months at a time.
2. What is the best thing about summer?
What? It's January. Nothing. Summer sucks. You know what's awesome? Standing around in a five-thousand-degree subway tunnel. Not.
3. Would you rather have a slurpee or a milkshake?
Ew. Milkshake. Slurpees are disgusting.
4. If you could be a member of any band/musical group, past or present, what band would it be and why?
I don't know. I mean, the whole thing about my favorite bands is that I love them as a band. Eurythmics is Dave and Annie--the whole point of Eurythmics is their relationship and how weird it is. Fleetwood Mac is the five people who made the Rumours album. Like, I don't even really like Christine McVie, she's boring, she's not Stevie Nicks, and yet I didn't care about anything Fleetwood Mac did without her because Fleetwood Mac is about Christine being clear and piano-y, up against the chaos that is Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and about how John McVie barely even exists, and yet you understand why everyone loves him, because his bass is so solid and warm. And like it or not, Fleetwood Mac is about Mick Fleetwood pushing everything forward, being a total dick and playing ahead of the beat. The way they sing and play is so tied to who they are, as people, that you can't just get another bass player or another guitarist, because another bass player will play the notes but not the shyness, and another guitarist will play the notes but not the anger and the insecurity and the need to show Stevie who's boss. Which is a really long way of saying that I wouldn't want to join any of my favorite bands, really. Maybe 'NSync.
5. Who is your idol? What are they famous for?
I think from now on I'm just going to answer question 5 with "Nicole Richie," no matter what it's actually asking. Nicole Richie. Nothing.
