1. Name: Christine
2. Date of birth: October 29
3. Location and all the places you've lived: a house in Milwaukee with my parents and brother, a college dorm room in Minneapolis
4. Reason(s) for joining this community: I have loved Narnia ever since I read the books at a very young age and have been curious who other people think I am
5. How many of the books have you read? all seven, at least 6 times each
6. Which book(s) are your favourite? Least favourite? Why? I love them all, so this is hard… I think my favorite is The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe because it is what brought me into the world and seems to have the most things that I identify with. My least favorite would be The Silver Chair. It just doesn’t speak to me like the others do, also because the main evil thing in it is a serpent. I have an enormous fear of snakes.
7. Who are some of your favourite characters and why? I love Lucy (hee, that’s funny…) Anyways, she’s so amazing for a young girl. I always wanted to be like her. Aslan is another favorite. He is so deep and wonderful and with so many aspects to it that you’re never really sure what will happen next.
8. Who are some of your least favourite characters? Why? At first, I was really not fond of Eustace, but he does grow on you once he stops being an ass. So I suppose he’s not a least favorite… Shift the ape, he’s a character that I really really dislike. He obviously has his purpose, but that doesn’t mean I need to like him…
9. Your occupation in life: a college student, during the summer I repair books. I’m going to school to be a theater techie.
10. What are some of your interests and hobbies? reading I ADORE reading, watching movies, being with my family and friends
11. If you had a choice between ending the world or saving your entire family, what would you choose? Why or why not? [If you choose to let the world live, then you're entire family would be slaughtered slowly and painfully.] That’s really really hard. I could justify either decision, but I’m going to have to save my family. They’re my family and without them I would not be the person I am. I couldn’t fathom living without them.
12. Let's take it back to Adam and Eve basics -- would you eat the apple? Why or why not? I would have at least asked which tree it had come from before eating… But once I found that out, no I don’t think I would eat it. I had been told to not eat it and have always been one to follow the rules.
13. What are some of your main pet peeves? people who don’t think about the needs of others when they do something, people who act stereotypically dumb blonde and know they do it, hypocritical people
14. What is your heritage? [Not that this has any bearings on what or who we stamp you as, Narnia Rating doesn't discriminate. We coo' wit all y'all colors.] German and Polish
15. What era do you wish you were from, or ever dreamed about visiting? I have dreamed about visiting Rennaissance times and the Civil War era. More recently it’s been the Civil War era. The period absolutely fascinates me. I have had the privilege to visit Gettysburg a few summers ago. It’s awe inspiring.
16. If you were a ruler of a formidable empire, but there was another kingdom not so formidable in battle but higher in power and rank, would you be content to live under them? Why or why not? Yes, I am generally a very peaceful person and realize that some people are very much cut out to be leaders while others are not. It is easy enough to fight, but to be able to make and keep peace takes a very strong person.
17. Is it sometimes okay to cheat in games and sports? Even just a tiny bit, and the captain of the other team cheated worse than you'd think was possible to get away with? Why or why not? I’m not a real big sports enthusiast, but cheating is never a good idea. If you cheat, karma will get back at you.
18. What kind of books do you like to read besides the Chronicles? What are your favourites of these books? I read a lot of fantasy type books, some romance novels. My favorite books are Harry Potter, the Thursday Next series, anything by Tamora Pierce, Wicked and Son of a Witch, the Nightside series
19. Name a few of your favourite movies. Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Beauty and the Beast, Anastasia,
20. Give yourself a label, even though we hate them. If you had to, what would it be? (ex. preppy, punky, goth, weird... etc.) weird, nerdy
21. Name a childhood hero and why they were held as such. hmmm, I suppose my mom. She’s my mom and I love her tons. She’s always said that I can do anything that I set my mind to.
22. Pick five words to describe yourself: smart, creative, nerdy, quiet, shy

26. All right, this is your one chance to bribe the mods into getting stamped as whatever you want and state something wonderfully complimenting about one or both of them. >:) um, cookies for the mods? I want to know who people think I am, so I’m not going to say who I think I am….
27. Anything else we've forgotten? um…. I like cookies….
