Ok, after watching the two incredible episodes that aired this week - and Fitch added (thank-you again) - it occurred to me that we have to wait another two weeks before HITH airs. This left me thinking about what I am going to do to pass the time until my next Bones fix. This is what I came up with...
1. Start hanging round karaoke bars. Sing 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' each time your name is up until they throw you out.
2. Apply for the FBI. You can do this link.
3. Steal a lab coat from school/uni. Print out the Jeffersonian symbol on your computer and safety pin it to the coat. Go to your local supermarket and buy whatever bones they sell for making stocks, feeding to dogs etc. and boil and clean them. Then set them out on your kitchen table and conduct your own autopsies. If your parents/housemates come in the room and demand to know what your doing, yell at them for contaminating the evidence.
4. If you have a partner, print out an enlarged picture of Booth/Hodgins/Sweets/whichever Bones character's face floats your boat. Tie some string to it and demand that your significant other wears it as a mask around the house.
5. Buy a beer hat. Sit in the bath with a couple of coldies, cigars/cigarettes and some loud music playing. Wait for someone to burst in and accuse you of faking your own death, or until the smoke alarm goes off.
6. Join an ice-hockey team.
7. Enrol in a pottery class. Make some miniature horse statues, and try to start clay-fights with all of the other people there until you get kicked out.
8. Join a circus.
9. Make a big tray of mac'n'cheese with pancetta, leeks and a little bit of nutmeg. When it's cooked, and your family/housemates/partner is ready to eat, take it into your bedroom saying 'I want to be alone with it.'
10. Take up martial arts. Pick fights with random gang members, then hope that someone else will threaten them into leaving you alone.
11. Start reading up on conspiracy theories. When people around you are talking about current events, interject with random spiels about aliens, the CIA, KGB, Illuminati etc. and how they are actually behind what is going on in the world, and that what you hear on the news is all just an elaborate government cover-up.
12. Go to your nearest museum with your significant other just before closing time. Hide in the toilets until everybody goes home, then get frisky together in the ancient Egyptian exhibition.
13. Go out and by the most garish socks and obnoxious belt buckle you can find. Wear them constantly. When asked about them by your friends, tell them that your therapist said it was ok to wear them.
14. Start collecting keys.
15. Go to your local Thai/Chinese restaurant. When the waiter comes up to you for your order, laugh at him/her saying 'You know what to order for me!' When they insist that you should actually place an order, demand seven organ soup.
16. Start digging holes in random areas around your neighbourhood, and if anybody asks what you are doing, claim to be rescuing victims of the Gravedigger.
17. Get a pet. Preferably either a pot-bellied pig called Jasper, or a dog - Belgian Malinois breed - called Ripley.
18. Go back to the karaoke bar that threw you out earlier for singing too much Cindi Lauper. This time, bring a gun.
19. Set up all of your friends. If any of them ask you for a favour, only do it if they kiss under mistletoe. Claim to be feeling 'puckish', and if they want to know why you want them to make out in the middle of January, tell them to use their grown up words.
20. And last but not least, post random articles such as this on fanpop!
