The 5 Things Meme.

You know the drill.

Do me a favor and ask for five things. My fandoms are: Star Wars, Hornblower, RPF for Paul McGann and/or other Hornblower actors, Supernatural, West Wing, Venture Brothers, Boondock Saints and really, anything that you might desire to see done in a halfassed way. If anybody wants it, I'll even write Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and Harry Potter.

Be greedy and ask for lots. I'm in a rut these days, and writing these short little things will help me pare down my blather tendencies. :D

Five campaigns Tobey really wanted to win but didn't (pre-Bartlet).

Dude, why would I mind? You're the one doing me the favor.

1. There has never been a campaign that Toby hasn't wanted to win. He hears about the dial-in campaigns on TV talent shows, and he itches to organize them. CJ heard about this, and she makes fun of him for it. Mercilessly. Such that the entire staff makes fun of him about it -- the President teased him about it once during Senior Staff. In between discussing North Korea disarmament and the trade deficit.

2. In fourth grade, Toby ran his own campaign for class treasurer. It was the first and last time he's ever run as a candidate for something. He learns from his mistakes.

3. The next year, having learned from his mistakes, he ran his best firend's campaign for class treasurer. Indeed, he learned from his mistakes.

4. Maybe he should have picked better friends. Or at least ones that, nine years later, didn't want to run for borough president after losing for class treasurer every year from fifth grade through to twelth. And wouldn't faint in hot rooms.

5. He learns from his mistakes. He does.
