(no subject)
I'm really bored right now at work. I finished reading all the ethics things I was supposed to read for today's chat and a few that I wasn't. I happen to really like ethics and enjoy contemplating ethical considerations. However, I'm having a terrible time writing my reaction. I am thinking about not writing on in favor of saving everything for our chat. It's not like anything happens those writeups anyways.
So, instead, I will do a meme from kinder_jedi and kaymbee.
1. Favorite Book so far? Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Least Favorite book so far? Goblet of Fire
3. Favorite Book Quote? Not sure I have one, but I am quite fond of pretty much anything Luna Lovegood says.
4. Favorite scene? The Battle for the Ministry of Magic scene in Order of the Phoenix.
5. A scene that made you cry? The mermaids singing during Dumbledore's wake. In fact, everything from that point on generally makes me cry like a baby. The mermaids, the centaurs, the pyre. It's just too much for me.
6. Number of times you have re-read the series? A dozen or so, if you count the times I've listened to it.
7. Favorite character (s)? Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Luna Lovegood,
8. Most hated/annoying character (s)? Annoying = Harry. Hated = I don't think I hate any character.
9. Which character do you find secretly annoying that others on your flist love? No secrets. If I don't like a character, people know.
11. Which character do you secretly like that others on your flist dislike? See above answer.
12. Favorite Spell? Accio - man it would be so handy to have around.
13. Favorite magical animal? Thestrals
14. Which magical object would you love to own? Magical knitting needles.
15. Out of these, which would you want to be?
1. A skilled legilimens - No, others people thoughts need to stay theirs.
2. An Animangus (If this, what form?) - Absolutely, probably a cat or a peacock.
3. Metamorphmagus - Totally - no more expensive hair appointments.
4. Parselmouth - While I love snakes, this does not appeal to me.
16. Which house would you be in? Ravenclaw.
17. What magical career would you like to have? A professor or researcher, perhaps the Ministry of Magic.
18. Pick one to finish the sentence: Snape is _____

4. What (if anything) has changed for you in the fandom? I stopped doing the website/community thing and stick with LJ. I just don't have a lot of time to keep up with it anymore.
5. Will you still be with us after Saturday - or is it over now that canon is over? Oh heck yeah!!!! Man, there are so many fandoms out there without a continuing canon that it's pathetic for people to think we're over just because Book 7 was published. I love this world and I can't wait to stay in it.

That only wasted a bit of time. Sad that.
