1. Name:Nina
2. Age:23
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Another one wishing for a castle, with lots of fine tapestry hangings, big roaring fires, there would be animals everywhere, a stable with lots of horses, a million dogs having a ball. The castle would have modern comforts as well though, generally all the requirements of the modern age. XD There’d have to be a forest nearby, for walking in, and yes, my closest friends would have a turret each, so they’d be nearby. OOH, and a whole library, like in Beauty and the Beast! XD lovely gardens to walk in and have picnics on. Um ..I don’t know where would fit that best, but I’d say the UK ..sorry to be so broad. Or Ireland even.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?Oooh. Much to keep me occupied! Art supplies, canvases, paints, papers and pencils so I could amuse myself, a lovely big window with a beautiful view. Books to read, in the sun by the window. Music! Some music to keep me company if my friends weren’t there, something lively and upbeat, or comedy to make me laugh. Animals have been my passion since I was little! So there would be some amazing animal that you couldn’t otherwise see, and something that wouldn’t usually be tame, if that makes sense? XD Like a Wolf or a Tiger, that happens to be incredibly tame and friendly, because it wouldn’t be otherwise possible to meet one? XD
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?Hmm. I think it’s a toss-up between Fudge and Umbridge. I can’t stand Fudge for turning around so quickly as he did, so willingly. Though he was always wary of Dumbledore and the influence Dumbledore had, just ..being such a wavering part of the campaign to put him, and Harry Potter down and completely ‘blinker’ the public by ignoring truths, and putting out falsities for the public to be fed - he was the real fire behind what happened in OotP and the main director in silencing the truth of Voldemort being back. Umbridge was awful, but she had no real power that could have influenced a wizarding nation one way or the other like the Minister did. So, Fudge! XD
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? Hmm. A Hard one. Perhaps it depends on what the glass is full of? ;) If it’s something good, something you like, it’s still half full! You’ve got heaps to go! Something you hate, then really .. it’s half empty, half over and thankfully almost gone!
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality. Oh goodness. Um, a John Lennon one just popped into my head. “Living is easy with eyes closed.”
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? Both, both. I think my mum, is the only person in the world that knows everything about me, she’s the first one I can talk to mostly, and she’s seen every side of me, even all the horrible sides that I don’t like. XD My friends however, are the ones who are always making me happy, making me smile and laugh. I always enjoy time with my friends, because it makes me want to be happier and nicer and more fun in general, so ..I don’t know if that makes sense. Oo; Friends are my reason to go places usually. My friends share so many tastes that my mother would never understand! So it’s a lot of fun squeeing with them, or being completely silly too. They’ll be there to talk to, too of course, but at the same time, I have an easier time sharing sadfoo things with my mother, because really, I fear the thought of bringing other people down, and most worries evaporate when I’m with my friends anyway.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? I don’t know if I have a favourite, probably my clearest of when I was young, is getting my head stuck in the stair railings. XD It was under my older brother’s influence/dare mostly, but I also just generally wanted to see if I could do it ..and I could! I just couldn’t get my head back out. They had to saw off part of the railings and feed me chocolate to keep me still. Which didn’t end up being too badly!
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? I will put two. And don’t blame me if they make no sense.
XD
Wanting to please? I don’t know if that counts but ..I tend to get in such a flurry to make sure everyone else is happy, that I just end up grumpy and feel all hard done by. XD I think it sort of links to avoiding conflict in a way/not being able to stand people disliking me, if I can compensate what I really, truly want to keep other people content and not wanting to be all angry at me, then it works. Though that can make me sulk, grump about not getting things my way, and at times makes me look like a bit of a doormat sometimes. This also ..sort of ties in with perfectionism, I don’t want there to be flaws in things, and feel as though I’ve let someone down, or made a mistake. I can’t stand seeing people upset about things, and I never want to be in the bad books. XD
Defensiveness. My mum’s always telling me I’m too defensive. XD it’s a bit too easy to provoke my temper sometimes and get my hackles up, or even just put me out of sorts and I’ll feel all picked on. XD I do get into yelling matches with my parents, usually because I’ll instantly feel defensive over whatever it is they’re getting at me about - but I’m usually the first to realise I’m being insane and apologise about it ..which ties to the unable to stand people angry at me. XD If someone’s randomly laughing on a bus or train, I’ll wonder if it’s something to do with me.XD insane!
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? Yes. (I would have been a Harry fangurl!11. No, not really. XD) I think generally out of wanting to be prepared.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. Badly. I avoid stress if I can. During the exam period, I start grinding my teeth at night! Honestly! XD I don’t do it any other time EVER, until exam time. Under stress, my belief in myself tends to crumble, and I worry that I can’t do things at all, and am ready to have ‘failure’ stamped on my head. Generally it’s better that I’m away from people when I’m stressed, as I tend to get a little insane, and snappy and scare people off. XD Tears also tend to be involved. However, upside of stress? It will give me any motivation I’ll otherwise have been lacking and I’ll put my head down.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?This so ..so hard. Two sides, justice when rightly served, can be what is needed to keep things running smoothly, and at times you can’t let emotion caught up in it. But ..do we need compassion alongside it? I don’t believe in capital punishment under any circumstances. Ever, and supposedly it’s justice served. Compassion, when people who have no choice but to leave their homes, and go to other countries as refugees, I believe they deserve compassion, not ‘justice’ to be treated as prisoners, for having not choice in what they did. So .. Um. Compassion, because I believe the -true- goodness in people that comes from compassion can make a far greater change in the world than justice can. [/sap] Well ..mostly, that’s such a hard question.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? Both. I love mystery and wonder in some things, I love when kids still believe in Father Christmas. However, I’m studying science, and I love learning the factual workings of things, how nature can just function so completely on it’s own without the slightest bit of help.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?I think Gryffindor.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!Truth, this is ALL I had. XD Me, having pigged out, trying to look sweetness and light for the camera :D Nosir.
