Those are fun questions!

1. Sure. Most of them don't really get it though. I keep explaining to them the concept of fanfic. However, I have one (gay male) friend who knows exactly what slash is and while he thinks it's sick, he's also morbidly fascinated by it. Those are fun conversations.

2. I wouldn't go as far as to call it awesome. Heh. But I eat it sometimes. It's cheap edible food. Can't ask for much more! Also kebap places are possible the only food places that allow me to bring my dog along when I order. I recently got into ordering lahmacun ("Turkish pizza"), which I like better and which is pretty awesome.

3. It was recommended to me by various people. Just from the number of recs and the squee, I knew I would love that show. It took me some times until I felt like watching a new show but when I did, I was immediately hooked. It's nice to get a rec and have high expectations and then it really is a very good show.

4. Yeah, I watched the BSG ballet. I like going to live shows of all kinds but I rarely get to do it because I have trouble finding someone who'll tag along. I used to watch opera sometimes in college. I like theater and music. I'm not much into dancing. But I'll watch almost anything.

5. Uhm, I first noticed Hot Dog because it struck me that he only ever appeared in fanfic as a guy who's funny because he's stupid. However, from the way Bodie Olmos played him, Hot Dog never struck me as stupid. Quite the contrary- the first time we saw him, he was the only nugget who brought a stash of books to class! It's fun to play with that double perception, writing him as a guy who isn't stupid but everybody thinks he is, or a guy who is stupid in a away, but knows it, and so forth. He also strikes me as a thoroughly nice guy, and there seems to be a lot going on in his head although he doesn't talk about it. When first watching BSG, I noticed that there are a lot of shots of Athena or Starbuck where you can see Hot Dog in the background, observing and noticing the little details.
