1. Name: Garland
2. Age: 22
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? The first thoughts that came to mind were Alaska, which was closely followed by Aruba. Upon further consideration they are good places to visit, not really a place live. After careful consideration I've decided on the place I'm living right now, Danielsville Georgia (USA). I've lived in this area most of my life and went to school up north. I chose to get a job around where I was from because home to me is where you feel comfortable. I just couldn't live somewhere that didn't feel like home.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? First off, there is a computer with internet access, I just can't live without my computer! I'm online most of the day and sometimes worry I'm addicted. There would also be a TV so I would have something to listen to in the background. The chair would be extremely comfortable and wouldn't bother my back. There would be a few other chairs so the friends that I bring in can have a place to sit and hang out. I love being with people, they make me happy. When I can't be with people I am perfectly happy on the computer.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? Bellatrix. I just can't stand her, the amount of evil that pours from that woman amazes me. She puts people, like the Longbottoms, through turmoil and doesn't blink an eye!
Now, I'm sure some people are wondering why I didn't say Voldy shorts. I thought about it but he is so cunning and smart (hello? Horcruxes? That is genius!).
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? I used to see it as half empty but this year I've acheived so much, graduated college, got a job, got a boyfriend....., that everything has been half full! I've been told I've been smiling a lot more too.
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. "An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness." My sister is a very firm Ravenclaw, while I'm a Hufflepuff. I enjoy this quote because it annoys her to no end! What can be more fun that annoying a genius sibling?
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? Family, granted most of my friends are people I consider as family, so that covers a large amount of people. When something happens I usually drop everything and go to assist in any way I can. I'm very dependable in that respect, many of my friends will call me first if something is up because they know that I will put the situation first.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? I was deaf as a child so I don't have many clear early childhood memories that I can understand. I do remember being so proud in 5th grade when I was selected as "Very Important Person" for the school. I grew up feeling kind of average and having that piece of paper pinned to my shirt saying I was important really made me feel like I was no longer and average annie!
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? I am quick to judge situations. Although this comes in handy most of the time, I can come to the wrong assumtion or not give a person a chance. The first time I met my current boyfriend I thought he was dorky and too nerdy for me. I came to find that he was sweet and caring and someone who I have become very close to.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? Probably, mostly to be in a group. I enjoy learning new things and if my friends joined I probably would too. I also think that this is a very important group and would encourage others to participate.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. I'm a music teacher at 2 schools, 500 kids at each school so my life can be a stressful situation. To tell you the truth I thrieve in these situations. I stay focused and do my best to address and resolve any problems that arise. I hardly ever lose my cool, and when I do lose it I am always in control of myself on the outside.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? Compassion, I'm a pure romantic and very soft hearted. Most of the time I'm willing to turn the other cheek when something goes wrong or a person makes a descion that will affect them in a negative way. I've always been a very forgiving person in general.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? I'm really 50/50. I'm an old soul when around other people, I'm very traditional and attempt to be a good examples for others. I've been told I'm very motherly which is another old sould trait. When I'm alone however, I can be very young. I love dancing and singing around my apartment and making a general fool of myself. I've also got a big sense of humor so when I'm hanging out I tend to be very talkative and active.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? Hufflepuff, I'm loyal to others, very trustworthy, and I try to be fair to others. Most of my friends agree with this, even when I'm in a leadership position I always try to delegate things to give everyone a chance to do what they want to do.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
