Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen
1. Name: Rebecca
2. Date of birth:September 3, 1987
3. Location and all the places you've lived:Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I've lived in 9 different houses but all in the same town. My family hates traveling even though I love it.
4. Reason(s) for joining this community:Curiosity and a love for all things Narnia
5. How many of the books have you read?All of them :)
6. Which book(s) are your favourite? Least favourite? Why?My favorite is The Last Battle because of its portrayal of the end of the world. It was put pretty amazingly and in such an interesting perspective. It also made me cry like a baby. My least favorite was 'The Horse and His Boy' because I found it boring and the main characters were hard to relate to. They just weren't very interesting.
7. Who are some of your favourite characters and why?Peter because of his bravery and natural leadership, Lucy because of her innocence and ability to see things with her heart, Caspian for his strength and will and of course Aslan for his love and grace.
8. Who are some of your least favourite characters? Why?Jadis because well...she's just plain evil. Cruel, strict, brutal...utter nightmare. Also Shift because of the way he tricked poor Puzzle, and Puzzle because he was naive.
9. Your occupation in life:I *think* it's to help people. I'm good for advice and a shoulder to lean on. I'm hoping to go to a Bible college and become a Christian Counselor. My pastor seems to think I'll be good for it so...*crosses fingers*
10. What are some of your interests and hobbies?Music, movies, art, reading, writing, learning, hiking, videogames, languages, anime...yeah not very much...
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.]As much as I would absolutely hate seeing my family suffer I would have to. I couldn't let the entire world die for a few people. My family would understand my decision.
12. Let's take it back to Adam and Eve basics -- would you eat the apple? Why or why not?In theory I wouldn't but you never know how the temptation might grab you. I won't give a definite answer because it's hard to say, but of course I definitely wouldn't want to.
13. What are some of your main pet peeves?Being annoyed, losing an argument, prejudice, nails on chalkboard-esque noises, being ordered to do things I have no desire to do, being set to a schedule.
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.]As boringly caucasian as they come. German and Irish.
15. What era do you wish you were from, or ever dreamed about visiting?I'd love to go to the Renaiisance time period because I love the whole castles/queens/kings/knights thing. I have a damsel in distress complex.
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?Eh, I might try to advise them about strengthening/expanding their army but if they were better at diplomatic issues I wouldn't mind.
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?Cheating is wrong, period. I am highly agitated by people who do it. It's not fair to the people who play by the rules and work hard.
18. What kind of books do you like to read besides the Chronicles? What are your favourites of these books?I love fantasy books. Harry Potter, Eragon, Cirque Du Freak, A Series of Unfortunate Events, on and on. Of those my favorites are (in order) 'Half Blood Prince,' 'Eldest,' the first and 'Lord of the Shadows,' 'The Carnivourous Carnival.' I also like books like 'Snow In August' and 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven.'
19. Name a few of your favourite movies.AI, Butterfly Effect, Edges of the Lord, Pay It Forward, Spirited Away, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, anything by M. Night Shymalan, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Donnie Darko, I Am David
20. Give yourself a label, even though we hate them. If you had to, what would it be? (ex. preppy, punky, goth, weird... etc.)Loner. I'm extremely shy and it's hard for me to make new friends. The ones I have I've had for years and they know everything about me.
21. Name a childhood hero and why they were held as such.My 8th grade teacher Mr. Meister. He's the most generous person I know. He gave me the jacket off his back one time at recess because it was cold and I had forgot mine. He taught us about *life.* When someone in our class got picked on he literally called us all out on it and presented the problem in such a way that everyone, not just the bulliers, felt like utter criminals. He explained how we're all a family and need to continously look out for one another. That hurting someone else was like hurting ourselves. He's the kind of teacher movies like 'The Breakfast Club' are made about and I thank God I had the opportunity to know him.
22. Pick five words to describe yourself:Shy, lonely, caring, reflective, random
23. Name three of your strengths and three of your talents:I never know what to say to these questions because it's so hard to assess myself. Umm, I'm good at comforting people, I consider myself to be pretty wise, and I try to be creative. Talents...um, I sing, graphic design and play an instrument or two.
24. Name three of your weaknesses and three things you suck at:I start many projects at once and rarely finish them, I wait till the last minute to do anything, I'm kind of calloused to my family. I suck at things that involve craftmanship with my hands (this includes penmanship), I'm not the greatest athlete in the world and riddles drive me crazy.
25. Give us a few of your favourite quotes.
"Everything we think and seem is but a dream within a dream." - Edgar Poe
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr.
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. >:)I really have no preference as to whom I get picked but I bet that you're both wonderfully beatiful people both inside and out and will use your best judgement in choosing a stamp for me :)
27. Anything else we've forgotten?This was the longest survey for a stamp I've taken so probably not ^__^
28. Here, please attach at least three clear pictures of yourself [unless you don't have any]. I don't have very many, sorry :(
