1. Name: Tamika
2. Age: 16
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
I would have to say England because of its history and beautiful landscapes. I'm such a city girl at heart, and there's a certain air of independence I link with London. There's also the fact that the rest of Europe is so easily accessible, and at the moment I'm hating the heat of Australia. I'd love to go somewhere cold, since I've never seen snow.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?
It'd be somewhere I could find happiness. A bookshelf with novels that'd really interest me, somewhere comfortable to laze about - a big squishy chair or something. An iPod offering every song I have ever/could ever like, someone to have fun with - a trusted friend. DVDs + TV and a computer with internet access. Oh - and a cupboard stuffed with marshmallows.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?
Grawp - there was no real need for him in my opinion, just kinda boring, I actually had to skip past paragraphs he was mentioned in, in fear of falling asleep. He even made me like Hagrid less for some reason, probably because I thought that the more Hagrid was in the books, the more Grawp would be.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Half empty, I mean - whatever was in there has most probably been taken away to make it that way.
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.
"Show me the world as seen from the stars" - Here In My Room by Incubus
Because I like to think that there is something beautiful about this world that I haven't seen. It's also a gorgeous statement that produces wonderful visual imagery. I also link it to the feeling of being swept off your feet when in love and seeing things in a new light.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends?
Though I feel like I should say family, I'm tempted to say my friends. My family hasn't always been there for me, whereas my friends - the really good ones - have. I love my family, but I love my friends too.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?
I don't know that I have one... probably just being careless and happy for a while in my life. Oh - and spending time with my cousin, Amber. I don't really get along with my siblings, plus there is quite a big age difference, so it was a relief when she was born and I had someone closer to my age to spend time with.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?
Honesty - it's both my biggest flaw and best attribute. People either hate or love me for it, but I find that they mostly hate. Either that or overreacting, I'm far too emotional for my own good, and when things go wrong I find it hard to keep my feelings under control.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?
I would have been all for it, but I doubt I'd have been one of the people that heard about it. And I probably would have joined as a form of revenge rather than improving my education.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations.
First I tend to throw things, then I try to calm down a bit and think about what I could do to improve the situation and how to change it to suit me. People don't usually like to get on my bad side.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?
Probably compassion, but at the same time I strongly believe that if someone has done something wrong they deserve what's coming to them. I get so angry when people are treated unfairly.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul?
I'd have to say I'm an old soul wishing for a young heart. I want to be able to enjoy the simple things in life without worrying what will result. I've seen too much for someone my age, and I regret that - I want to be innocent and happy, not so pessimistic.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?
I'd be a nice Slytherin. I'd be put in this house purely due to the fact that I'm so determined and ambitious - and I don't really follow the rules. If I wasn't put in Slytherin, then I dunno... I think I possess at least one quality from all the houses.
