1. Name: Elizabeth
2. Age: 24
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Someplace quiet and preferably by a stream or small river. It doesn't have to be a large house but I would want a huge yard with no neighbors for about a mile. As for a spot in the world, it can be anywhere as long it's someplace that gets a lot of sunshine.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? A bright, cheerful looking room with a huge, squishy sofa to rest on, and books all over the place on every subject that interests me, with sandalwood candles burning.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? Umbridge, because she was in a position to be able to see from both sides what was going on and didn't even try to open her mind. Instead, she chose to hurt people, make trouble, did a horrible job of teaching (a huge irriatation to me since I'm studying to be a teacher!), and then wanted to do something illegal to get information. She was a very sadistic person and to me represented everything that makes a person untrustworthy and dishonorable. She didn't even really seem to have an agenda that she felt was right that she was being loyal to, she seemed to enjoy the sheer cruelty of what she doing more.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? That depends on my mood. When it's half empty though it's not always a bad thing, it just makes life more challenging. And a challenge is good.
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. "A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." by Ghandi. I like this quote because I believe in following my own path, even when it means saying "no" to something others think I should be saying "yes" to. It's always better to follow your own convictions than to let someone else give them to you.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? Family, but it's important to mention that my close friends are also my family and I have relatives that I would not classify as family.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? Laying on the floor with my grandfather with the blankets up over our heads listening to records. He was one of my best friends.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? My arrogance. I tend to be very cocky and headstrong and that can lead me into trouble. I'm very much a "my way or the highway" type which made growing up with my mother, who is the same way, very difficult. Oddly enough, for as much as we fought, she's one of my best friends.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? In a heartbeat. The practicality of it would have been a very strong factor to influence me as well as being able to do something that would be sure to irritate Umbridge.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. I complain and tug out my hair but love every minute of it. I work very well under stressful situations, to the point where often that's where my best work gets done.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? That depends on the situation, but nine times out of ten I'd go with justice.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? A few years ago I would have said an old soul. I'd always wanted to be older than I was and hated dealing with people my own age. Now that I've known the responsibilities of having my own place and taking care of bills and a household I have to say that I've unleashed my inner child and am a child at heart.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? Gryffindor, without a doubt.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
