My Form. By Me. : )
1. Name: Gillian Iversen
2. Age: 17 Damnit. Sorry, just turned 18, gonna have to get used to that...
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Either New York or London. I'm a city girl, and while I've only been to London out of the two, New York just seems like the ideal place for me. I know it has grit and horror and general ickiness, but hey, if living in a heavily polluted city all your life doesn't prepare you for that, what does? Also, I cannot stand living in places that it requires you to take long car drives to. Subways, buses and taxis are for me. Oh, and walking.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? Um...whatever I require at the time? It would probably have orange juice and cranberry juice in it. Because those are the two things that I am always craving. Although, I suppose it would look like my bedroom, except a bit bigger. And with more clothes. And it would certainly have a lot of colours in it. Nope, no black for me thanks. I've been called colourful on some occasions because of my clothing, and when I look at my room and really think about it, I kinda realise, that hey, I am kinda colourful.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? This is difficult. I'd say Cho, but after seeing the movie, it's made me like her again because Katie's such a cutie. But no, must think of the books...umm...I don't know, I've never been very fond of Mad Eye Moody I guess. Edit: Total lie. Ok, I'm going to take the wimp's way out of this and say that I've never seen the point for Professor Sprout. Happy?
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? Half empty.
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.
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
And
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
AND (sorry)
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
It's all one song, but those three parts are the parts I identify with most.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? It's neck and neck. I will do certain things for my friends that I wouldn't do for my family, for example, spending way too much money and time on presents and general suprises for no occasion whatsoever. My family, however? I would defend them with my life. Whenever someone says something bad about my siblings, or a passing comment on my parents that I find offensive, I'm on the attack and ready for blood.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? This would be easier to answer if I hadn't just had a family home movie-athon just recently. From what I can remember on my own, I would have to say sitting on my dad's lap and being able to drive the car a couple of metres every two Christmases (there are three children, so we'd alternate roles every year). By video, I would say trying to sweep dirt. No, wait! From my memory I would say being in year four, on my own (because I had gotten my hair cut, and boy, did I look like well...a boy), being followed by two of my classmates (because they thought it was funny), and making up songs while I walked ahead of them. No, wait, now that makes me sound like a complete loser. Oh god. I'm just going to stick with all our vacations to Denmark.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? Not being able to make decisions and not being able to believe people when/if they compliment me. Also, as you have been able to see, not being able to pick just one choice.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? Meh...Parts of me say yes, and parts say no. Actually, no, I probably would have. Even if my friends didn't want to, and I ended up going alone, yes, I would have joined.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. Think about it too much about it and keep it to myself. Sometimes however, I just cry.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? Ok, so since I started out this form without really know the 'real' definitions of those two words, I can only say (after looking it up on dictionary.com) that I think of those being the same. Well, in certain situations, that is. Holy crap, now I'm thinking about this waay too much, and will never come to an answer, so I'm just going to point out that in my flaws I said I was indecisive.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? Frankly Frank, I'd like to say I've got a childish mind, and a ye olde soul. What I like to call being 17. No, I mean 18. For me, that is. Actually, no, I have to say I have a combination of the two-I can think of the silliest things, be incredibly naive at times and be incredibly -what's it called when you think the best of people? Oh right, naive-whoops. Yet, I can also be thinking way above myself, and be thinking of ways how I can live in this world, and read way too much into the future and worry about the smallest things and how they'll affect me and those around me.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? I honestly think Hufflepuff. Either that or Gryffindor. Because while I can be cunning at times, and at others, quite evil, I don't think I'd fit into Slytherin very well. Or maybe I could? Hmmm... But seriously, definately not Ravenclaw. If I were sorted into Ravenclaw I think I'd go up to Dumbledore and tell him there's something wrong with his hat.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun! Ha! I've got two!
^Taking my hair out after a Thailand trip. I mean, my braids out. Not my hair. Although, a lot of hair did come out that day...
^Curious George rocks my world. In Universal Studios, this past summer. First and probably last time ever in LA, but it was fun.
