Like a good little lemming...

Eh. I had nothing better to do with my time.



1. "Ginny" is short for "Ginevra," not "Virginia."

2. Despite popular opinion - at least in my world - I am not still hung up on Harry. Somehow the vast majority of people find it difficult to believe that one can actually be friends with one's ex.

3. I can actually make sense of most of what Delirium says.

4. I love the colour yellow, but I can't wear it at all, with my hair - it ends up looking fluorescent.

5. I am a very affectionate drunk... in case you hadn't guessed that already.

6. My philosophy on life is to life for the moment, and not to worry overmuch about the consequences - who knows what will happen tomorrow.

7. I love cooking but I'm an abysmal failure at Potions.

8. When I was very small I wanted to be a water sprite when I grew up.

9. Now that I am "grown up" I don't have a damn clue what to do with myself.

10. I have absolutely no visual arts skills whatsoever. I can, however, sing.

11. I've never had a best friend.

12. I absolutely loathe anything liquorice-flavoured.

13. This past summer I had a job working for a friend of my father's at the Ministry. I was essentially an errand-girl, but I also learned some very interesting things about it - such as the fact that the office where they track underage magic use isn't actually monitored 'round-the-clock as they'd like us to believe it is.

14. A couple of years ago when I went to stay with an ex-boyfriend of mine for a week during the summer I learned how to drive his neighbour's motorbike.

15. The only language I'm fluent in is English, but I also know a bit of conversational French because of my brother Bill's fiancée, Fleur.

16. I had never heard of tennis until I joined this loony bin of a community.

17. Nor had I ever heard of anyone else's fandom. This makes me feel exceedingly ignorant most of the time.

18. I've still never had sushi.

19. I own a pair of dragonhide trousers. I do not get to wear them nearly as often as I would like.

20. I once turned my friend Colin's camera into a stuffed pig as an April Fool's day joke. He went into shock.

21. I do not own a single pair of white socks.

22. Or white knickers.

23. I play both Seeker and Chaser.

24. I haven't had a nightmare about the Chamber in over a year.

25. I am very good at sitting in the background and being quiet, and therefore know all sorts of interesting things that I'm not supposed to know. Like about Fluffy. And the Map.

26. When I was six years old I had a pet egg...until my mum took it away becase it went off and stank up the entire third floor of the Burrow.

27. I still like that handcuff idea.

28. My birthday is 17 February.

29. I have six older brothers: Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Bill, and Charlie.

30. I firmly believe that one is never too old for stuffed animals.

31. Or children's books.

32. My favorite scent is vanilla. I rarely wear anything else.

33. I have reading glasses, which I never wear because I'm forever misplacing them.

34. My eyes are blue.

35. I wear as much red as I can possibly get away with, considering my hair colour.

36. I still say you're a woobie.

37. My favorite animal is a cat. I also rather like frogs.

38. I fancy myself to think that I'm a good listener.

39. I once spent about fifty-five Galleons on a pair of combat boots.

40. They look really good with my dragonhide trousers.

41. I once ate an entire [ ] of raw cookie dough in an hour.

42. I entirely fail to comprehend the internet's obsession with this number.

43. I've never been kissed under mistletoe.

44. I'm absolutely bloody terrified of cockroaches. Except yours, of course, Sirius.

45. I love bubble baths.

46. And painting my toenails wild colours.

47. And dancing in the rain.

48. Shoes are my weakness. What little money I ever have inevitably gets spent on shoes. At last count I had twenty-eight pairs. The rest of my family might have that many combined.

49. I am the only person in my family who can seem to pronounce the word "electricity" properly. Though it is very likely that Fred and George only mispronounce it because they fancy themselves amusing.

50. I am the reigning Weasley Family Annual Snow War Champion.
