Elizabethtown
1. Name: Sandra
2. Age: 18
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Either London or New Zealand. I always had a strange liking for London and its weather (I don't like sun that much) but since I did an essay about New Zealand I was fascinated.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? Cosy, mostly. It didn't have to be big, just confortable, you know? A place to relax and forget the stress of school and other issues.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? Least?.. Least.. Lavender annoyed me pretty much throughout HBP but it doesn't anymore. There were some point after the 4th book where I truly disliked Harry, which I don't anymore. I could say Pettigrew but he's not even worth the trouble of disliking... I think I kind of dislike James Potter, in the end. As I use to say: he's only nice after he's dead. I truly, deeply hated him throughout all the Marauders's childhood scenes.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? Half full, obviously. I'm very optimistic. Not to the point of losing all sense of reality, I'm very realistic but I like to see the brightside of everything.
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. "It's still winter in my wonderland" and "Be the change you want to see in the world". The first is from a song (Waiting for the World to Fall by Jars of Clay) and the other I heard from a Tv show (Prison Break, said by Sara Tancredi). The first simply means that I'm still young and have alot to learn and the second is more like a guide-line. How can one expect the world to be something if you just sit around waiting for it to happen? Because things don't just drop out of the sky. (planes do, now and then but.. not the point)
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? I always find this question hard to answer. I'd take a bullet into my brains anytime for my friends but I'll have to say family. My family is extremly supportive and I love them to death, I can't think how I'd live if they didn't exist.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? I have two, and they're both about Christmas. We usually spend it over at my granparents but there was one we spent at home and the family came over and I was very young, I believed in Santa, of course. And I remember falling asleep on the couch and waking up a little later and asking them if Santa had already been here, and they said no, to get back to sleep and he'll come. So I did, and later when I woke up they said Santa had just left and there were all my presents. Now, I don't remember when I did stop believing in Santa but I like this memory. The other one happend just a couple of years ago and we were at my granparents' and my brother, who's 7 years and a half older than me, laid down on my legs and fell asleep, and I later laid on his back and we were like that for some time. I like this memory because even if my brother is older than me, I'm extremly protective towards him and he's extremly important to me.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? I'm quite bossy sometimes, however I also find myself incapable of saying no when I should. I hate that about myself.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? Of course. I'd be terrified just from the thought of fighting Lord Voldemort but it'd be much worse just the thought of sitting quietly while my friends were dropping dead like flies.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. Depends. If you're talking about a exam-situation I totally freak out the day before. I do mean freak out. I start to cry and saying I don't know a thing, however, the next day I'm the living picture of calm and serenity. I guess I tell to myself that I'm ready ebcause I've worked for it so whatever happens.. If you're talking about a plane-may-crash kind of situation, I remain strangely calm. I start to focus on what to do first. The only difference from my usual self is that I stay very still and quiet while thinking things through.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? Depends on the situation, I suppose. Sometimes there are decisions based on justice that are just too harsh. But if a guy kills 7 people, I don't think there should be any compassion. Unless he's completly insane, if that's the case he should go to an asylum or something.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? Tough to answer, really. I can be really easy going and funny but in the end I rather sit at home warm and confortable rather than go out and party.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Even Hufflepuff, I just can't see myself as a Slytherin, the only thing that'd fit in there would be my sarcasm.
16. Do you care which gender you are stamped as (If yes, tell us which gender you would like to be stamped as)? I would appreciate if you vote me as a female. Only if you find ABSOLUTLY necessary, vote me as a boy.
17. Anything else? No, I don't think so. This was fun :)
18. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
