*cracks knuckles*  
*walks in, carrying a bag full of sweets*

Well! Since no one has really posted... I thought that I, The Old, Scary, Gryffindor Lurker, should. Get this party started, since there are so many first years here who need a little goading... feel free to post anything! Well, anything that corresponds with the rules, of course ^^

Let's see... well, one of the topics that is great for these weekends is 'Get to know each other!' These type of games are played often on other forums...

So. Let's get to know one another! Because I am completely uncreative as to how to get to know one another... I'll just post up a questionnaire. Very simple, yesh. And, of course, you are free to leave any of the questions blank.

This way we can totally connect with people through age, location, hobbies, yada yada yada. Spread the love <3

Right. Here we go.



Name:
Additional Names/Titles?:
Age:
Location:
Fave HP Character:
Family? Pets? Anything?:
Other fandoms besides HP:
Hobbies:
Music/Books/Movies:
Something interesting/weird about self:
Random:
Anything else of utter importance:

My own answers:
Name: Suvi
Additional Names/Titles?: Laire, Lady Blue Elf, Elfypoo, Suv, Suvster, Suvilicious, Suvi Dooby Doo, Ringerworm, Tolkien Geek Extraordinaire, Creepy Lurker Lady, and way too many more...
Age: 16. I joined the first community at 14 O.O Wow. 2 years with this general comm <3
Location: SoCal, baby! (southern California). Home of not-as-great-as-it-seems Hollywood, messed up weather conditions, and bad traffic! WOO! Nah, seriously. I love it here.
Fave HP Characters: Gred and Forge <3, Loony Luna, the bookworm Hermione, and Sirius. Who is not dead. Yea, I'm part of the 'Denial for Life' crowd.
Family? Pets? Anything? 2 younger bros, and 2 beautiful doggies, Boberen and Cinnamon. Bober is a Maltese while Cinnamon is a German Shepherd mix. Cinnamon is my darling baby ^^
Other fandoms besides HP: *points quietly to a couple of her titles* There is a reason for those. A big reason for those. How many of you would kill me with a nice 'Avada Kedavra' is I said LOTR was my main fandom? :P But yea, I'm utterly obsessed with Tolkien. It's actually a bit sad how obsessed I am. Ah well XD I also love POTC, and Lost is great too.
Hobbies: I love drawing and photography. You can see some of my stuff at http://ainulaire.deviantart.com, if you wish (no Harry Potter fan art, sorry :( ). I also love writing, reading (fan fiction is included in both of those), poetry, horseback riding, and of course, surfing the internet ^^
Music/Books/Movies: Hehe, stick it all in one category! Music... rock and new age, and classical. I love Nightwish, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Enya, Howard Shore, Vivaldi, and many more. Books... HP of course, and Tolkien's works. There are many others, but those are really my main two favorites. Movies... pixar works, POTC, 1st Matrix, Shrek 1 and 2, Emperor's New Groove, and, of course, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings ^^
Something interesting/weird about self: I've lived in SoCal all my life and I have never been past Arizona, but I've probably done much more than most kids my age ever have.
Random: Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back!
Anything else of utter importance: Funny enough, Harry Potter was my first fandom, but LOTR took it over as #1. However, HP shall *always* have a special place in my heart :) and one day I'll do some Harry Potter fan art. One day. A lot of people have asked me to do some, and I will have to give into their demands soon ;P



Have fun XD

Cheers,
Suvi the Gryffindor who is seriously in need of a new banner because she only has ones from when the other community was still around... wow, she is OLD. Like, past graduation old. Any takers? Por favor? XD

Name: Rebecca
Additional Names/Titles?: Stareyes, Samwise, Sheska, GM. I also answer to character names, which can be awkward as many of my characters are male.
Age: 21. 22 in less than a month.
Location: Ithaca, New York.
Fave HP Character: I like a lot of the villains -- Bellatrix and Peter come to mind -- but that's as villains. They are interesting people, but I like to keep them fictional. But I think my favorite characters are Arthur and Molly Weasley, who aren't villains.
Family? Pets? Anything?: A brother and sister 1,000 miles away, with my parents. No pets yet -- I have to see if I can keep a cat when I'm at school for 12+ hours a day.
Other fandoms besides HP: A lot of anime, with Slayers and Fullmetal Alchemist being the msot prominant, and Hellsing and Vision of Escaflowne being in there. I also like some other novels (my favorite author is Steve Brust) and science fiction TV shows (Star Trek and Bablylon 5).
Hobbies: I write and draw -- most of my stuff is available on my website. No HP fanfic/fanart, unless you count the Voldemort/Lockhart fic I wrote for a friend.
Music/Books/Movies: I adore Steve Brust's Vlad Taltos series for books. As for music, my tastes are... eclectic. I have a fondness for Star Wars for movies, but I don't watch many -- I need to get into Firefly/Serewnity, as I keep being told that I'll like it.
Something interesting/weird about self: I love flying, but cars scare me -- at least, if I'm driving.
Random: It's no fun sitting in lecture while your boss talks about the Mars rovers to a bunch of undergrads and not having anyone to share the George R R Martin reference you make.
Anything else of utter importance: I'm an astronomy grad student studying the planets. People find this interesting for some reason. (It also proves that Hufflepuff != stupid) ^_^

Rebecca, Hufflepuff

I mostly like punk, oldies, broadway music, country, just about everything but bluegrass! My favorite authors are Marry Higgins Clark, James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, and of course J.K. Rowling.

AWESOME movie!! *WARNING: This is an extremlly violent movie! I love it because I'm a history nerd and The Holocaust is one of my favorite things to read and study about.

Name: Amy
Additional Names/Titles?: Eowyn
Age: 26
Location: Physically I live in NY, but mentally my mind is elsewhere :P
Fave HP Character: Oooo so many, but I’ll try to keep this list short… Tome Riddle, Severus Snape, Ginny Weasley, and Harry Potter (He’s a more recent addition to the favourites list however. It’s seriously thanks to the GOF movie. Something wonderful has happened to Dan’s acting and it was the best performance out of the four movies.)
Family? Pets? Anything?: Friends make the best family
Other fandoms besides HP: Lots and lots of things, so again I’ll try to make this short… Lord of the Rings, Lost, cool things Disney (Yeah not everything they do is the greatest in my opinion, so this becomes very movie/character dependant. A couple examples would be I LOVE Aladdin, however I LOATHE Home of the Range. I think the love list is at least longer than the loathing one however, so I guess they have that going for them :P Also LOVE the new fairies… and I am in that rare small group of people who actually thought The Black Cauldron was a GREAT movie.), and I also am a big fan of the 80’s (Hey it’s my generation; In my opinion we had the best cartoons, television shows, etc. Also fashion-wise even I’d much rather wear jelly shoes and leg warmers than one of the things that’s big for people to do nowadays where they have their pants hanging off their butt. That’s one thing I definitely do not understand, I mean who wants to be walking down the street and see that right in front of them?)
Hobbies: *See also the above question and the one below heh
Music/Books/Movies:
Music: My taste is just too everywhere to ever narrow this question down. If the music good then it’s good, and I’m the only one who has to think that, if other people disagree then they like what they like too. But currently Tom Petty is very rockin’. Also the song In The Year 2525 by Zager and Evans is pretty cool.
Books: Lord of the Rings, The Giver, The Mists of Avalon, Disney Fairies Series, etc (I have quite an extensive library. My one bookshelf is not enough room.)
Movies: Lord of the Rings (are we seeing a pattern here, heh), Bambi II (best damn Disney sequel EVER), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and again etc. as I enjoy quite a range of these too. I guess I’m just eclectic in many, many ways.
Something interesting/weird about self: Hmm, I think what I just said was pretty interesting. Ah to have many fandoms and a wide variety of tastes :P (Though sometimes it can be annoying when you want to say more, but then at the same time you don’t want to ramble too much making this post too long heh)
Random: I can always be random hee-hee, not a problem.
Anything else of utter importance: Yes, peanut butter is a good hiccup cure-all. A good friend taught me that… gotta go now, shiny thing distracting me :P

Music/Books/Movies: I am actually not old enough to have this as my favorite band but I love the band Chicago (the older stuff from the 70's before they went all love ballad). I can't choose a favorite book. That is like choosing a favorite child. I am currently into sci-fi/fantasy and mystery/intrigue books right now. My favorite movie of all time is Clue. I can quote all the lines from it.
Something interesting/weird about self: My arms are double jointed. I can make it look like my elbows are on the inside of my arm instead of the outside (did that make sense?)
Random: "Yes I could go for a frozen treat right about now. But no sprinkles. And for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you."
Anything else of utter importance: I miss my husband. He has to work today. Boooo!

This time, with a signature!
Name: Rachel
Additional Names/Titles?: Apple, Apple Pi, Applesauce, Ciara (on-line only), Rach, McAwesome
Age: 21
Location: Currently, Norwich, Norfolk, UK. Usually, either Carlisle, PA, USA or Pittsburgh, PA
Fave HP Character: Luna, Hermione, and Percy (WHO IS MISUNDERSTOOD, I SWEAR!)
Family? Pets? Anything?: 2 parents, 1 sort of live-in grandpa, 1 younger brother, 1 Australian shepherd. We're a fairly small family, but I love them. ^^
Other fandoms besides HP: Uh, vague LOTR involvement. House, MD. Various Age of Sail type things, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, general news fandomy type things.
Hobbies: Spending excessive amounts of time on livejournal. Hanging out (family and friends). Learning to play cricket. Tennis. Skiing. Reading (history books, historical fiction, fantasy, classics, etc). Watching TV. Attempting to read things in Italian.
Music/Books/Movies: Favorite books are Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, Heart of Darkness, Brave New World and pretty much anything by Terry Pratchett. I also have large amounts of love for things written by David McCullough, Alison Weir and Antonia Fraser (as we can see by the fact that I have books by all three of them on my shelf right now)
Movies: Lord of the Rings, Lawrence of Arabia, Casablanca, various other old movies (I ♥ Cary Grant), Master and Commander, Bride and Prejudice, the Pride and Prejudice miniseries with Colin Firth (SO. MUCH. LOVE.), and too many other movies to name.
Music: I have eclectic tastes. Currently digging The Decemberists, but I'm also a fan of Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Gaelic Storm, The Dubliners, The Chieftains, musical soundtracks and lots of classical music (and opera. Especially Mozart. Especially Mozart's Italian operas. *puts on Cosi Fan Tutte*)
Something interesting/weird about self: I can name all the kings and queens of England in order (well, William the Conqueror to the present). I cannot do this with US presidents.

Also, I was on Jeopardy! once. ^^
Random: I am incredibly geeky. Also, I watch too much TV, watch CSPAN for fun and am just generally a history/politics/news dork. And I'm addicted to the internet. And CNN. And Keith Olbermann is my TV news boyfriend in my head.

Anything else of utter importance: I'm Roman Catholic, and that's something very important to me. I've struggled to reconcile my faith with the fact that I'm pretty liberal in other respects, but I think I can do it. It's still in progress.

Also, I want to know everything about English history. There is practically nothing I'm not interested in.

Unless it involves maths.

Re: This time, with a signature!
Math is evil. Completely evil.

I also <3 history/politics/news. I love going to competitions that focus on those things.

You like the LOTR movies... have you read the books? If you haven't, you should, especially if you are a history buff. Tolkien is excellent with history... it's so beautiful XD

Family? Pets? Anything?: 1 brother, a dog (Patch), two hamsters (Satan & Harry), a bunch of tropical fish and a turtle.
Other fandoms besides HP: Mighty Ducks and that's really all. I kind of throw myself into one fandom at a time and right now it's HP.
Hobbies: Playing ice/roller hockey, listening to music and reading a ton.
Music/Books/Movies: Music - rock, mostly, but there is some cheesy pop music that I love. Books - the HP series obviously, but also pretty much any autobiography.

Additional Names/Titles?: Official Hufflepuf House Rebel, the gamemaster

Age: 31 (THAT is old!!!)

Location: Cologne, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany, Europe, Earth, Sol, Milky Way, Universe

Fave HP Character: Ginny Weasley

Family? Pets? Anything?: parents, brother, nephew, but none of them is as important as my beautiful girlfriend [livejournal.com profile] maegwin_of_hern

Other fandoms besides HP: well, I'm a roleplayer... Mainly Star Wars, James Bond and CSI

Hobbies: playing, mastering, reading and writing RPG... besides of that playing around with photoshop, watching tv, all kinds of movies and filling my head with useless knowledge

Music/Books/Movies: a-ha, soundtracks, rock music, some goth, sometimes classical music, jazz

C.S. Forester's Hornblower series, Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series, historical books, good novels, fantasy and science fiction

James Bond movies, pirate/swashbuckling movies, fantasy, horror, science fiction, crime, comedy...

Something interesting/weird about self: I have so-called super-3-dimensional-sight. My right cornea is a little bit twisted, rendering me a) a little short-sighted and giving me b) the ability to see those 3D-images in 3D without using those red/green glasses. An ability that comes in handy in 3D-movies, but can be a shocking nuisance when watching certain imax films...

Random: We didn't quit playing because we grew old, we grew old because we've quit playing.

Anything else of utter importance: I didn't like Harry Potter at first due to the hype made about it. I detest hypes of any sort, and hadn't I been a Star Wars fan for many years, I'd never had watched the new trilogy...

Name: Michelle
Additional Names/Titles?: I don't really have any nicknames. How sad.
Age: 20
Location: Connecticut
Fave HP Character: Sirius Black. Who is definitely not dead.
Family? Pets? Anything?: I live with my parents and my brother. We don't have any pets other than fish.
Other fandoms besides HP: The Lord of the Rings=life. It appears they'll have to Avada Kedavra us both, because LotR owns my soul. Others are Lost, Veronica Mars, Firefly, etc.
Hobbies: My fandoms, reading, watching movies and TV, sleeping.
Music/Books/Movies: There are huge music and movie lists in my userinfo (http://users.livejournal.com/_allshallfade/profile), so you can check those out. My all-time favorite book is The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Other favorites are the HP books of course, Tolkien's other works, White Oleander by Janet Fitch, Nicholas Sparks books, Sarah Dessen books, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, and so many more. I need to add a book category to my userinfo.
Something interesting/weird about self: I literally have no center of balance. I always tell people that I'm the exception to the "everybody has a center of balance" rule. I suffered inner ear loss from a viral infection, which is where most of your equilibrium is based. It didn't affect my hearing or anything else...I just can't balance.
Random: I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
Anything else of utter importance: Not really! I'm the same as you with HP and LotR, though. HP came first, but then I discovered LotR and it took over my heart. And life. lol

Fave HP Character: LUPIN!!!! And Dumbledore, Neville, Sirius

Other fandoms besides HP: LOTR is my #1 also (rabid HP fans don't lynch me heh), Lost
Hobbies: Listening to music, being lost in my own world I guess counts, reading, doing whatever on the internet, playing with graphics, writing
Music/Books/Movies: Books-LOTR (and HP of course) and On the Beach and The Giver; Movies-LOTR; Music-Progressive metal (Magnitude Nine being one of these types of bands, mostly where my username came from), but fave band is Kamelot, power metal, (do NOT like any metal where the singing is all growly like death and whatnot though), been into industrial and dark ambient lately so VNV Nation, Covenant, Desidarii Marginis, um, I love movie scores, rock/alternative, I dunno I really just like a variety and I give up trying to classify most of it
Something interesting/weird about self: I dunno how weird it is but I just ate supper and had pizza and I always eat the crust first because I don't like it that much and want to get it over with (and hate wasting food) so I always eat it backwards. I'm weird in general, everybody's weird because who can define normal anyway?

I was a music major in college. It's awesome.

Inkheart was a brilliant book; I loved it.

Wow, without the right hand? So... I'm guessing you write with your left hand ;P

But you know, that is GREAT for Halloween... you put on some fake hand, and let it fall off or something, and have fake blood at the end of your right arm. Best practical joke ever :P

Name: Jeri
Additional Names/Titles?: Well, my actual name is Jericha so Jeri would be an additional name, technically. I also answer to Cissa...because I am a big Narcissa Black/Malfoy fan.
Age: 17
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Fave HP Character: It always comes down to three - Snape, Narcissa and Draco. I know, it's odd. I can't help it.

And as far as HP books go, Half-Blood Prince is my favorite, by faaaar. Movies - Star Wars, obviously. Love Actually, Bruce Almighty, Legally Blonde, Abandon, Pirates of the Caribbean, and lots of others I can never remember when I'm asked this question.
Something interesting/weird about self: I have a way of making fun of people without them realizing it. And let me just tell you, nothing is more awesome than totally mocking someone to their face and them having no idea that you're doing it. It's great.

Name: Nicola

Additional Names/Titles?: Well, in my journal I'm also called "Lady Snark", but I don't use that one here. And I have an alter ego named "Mary", who basically *is* my snarky, witty, painfully honest side. She started off as an rpg character which I didn't create myself, but then she just became part of my personality and refused to leave ^^

Age: 26

Location: Cologne, Germany

Fave HP Character: Ron Weasley

Family? Pets? Anything?: Two parents, check. Two younger sisters, check. That's it ;)

Other fandoms besides HP: Discworld / Lord of the Rings / Outlander / Memory, Thorrow & Thorn / Buffy / Angel / Friends

Hobbies: I love to read and also to write, though the latter had to suffer from lack of attention lately :( I used to sing in a choir, and if I have enough time again I'd gladly return. Even though I don't go there as often as I used to I still enjoy greatly going to the movies. I'd like to exercise more and also start with martial arts again, which I had to stop because of knee problems.

Music/Books/Movies: Well, the books I've basically mentioned most in the fandom question above. Other authors I enjoy reading are Rebecca Gablé and George R.R. Martin. I like to listen to many kinds of music, except for folk music and country. I'm actually less genre-oriented than individual bands / singers, such as Evanescence, Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas, Subway to Sally, Schandmaul, Madonna, Robbie Williams,... And soundtracks *drools*
As for movies, my all-time favorite is still When Harry Met Sally. No, not because of *that* scene ;) And [livejournal.com profile] zentraedi_shep introduced me to Clue, which I can really recommend, especially if you like the game.

Something interesting/weird about self: I can't stand it when someone touches my belly button. It's the *most* sensitive part of my body, and not even I can touch me there :(

Random: I actually was close friends with a girl called Suvi when I went to school XD Now she's living in Finland and our contact is, unfortunately, highly irregular.

Anything else of utter importance: [livejournal.com profile] zentraedi_shep is my boyfriend and one day I'd like to marry him XD

*grins* Gotta love personalities, eh? I don't have any personalities... but I do have muses. 12 of them, actually XD

Hehehe, I saw the trailer for FOTR and my interest started there, but LOTR didn't become my #1 fandom until... maybe 6 months before ROTK, when I went to 8th grade. POTC is definitely love.

I loved reading Nancy Drew when I was younger. I read dozens of her books.

And Law and Order is complete and utter love. SVU is my favorite.
