Prior Incantato
Survey
1. Name: Heather
2. Age (no one under 13, please): 25
3. Location: Chicago, IL
4a. Three positive adjectives to describe yourself: artistic, optimistic, quirky
4b. Three negative adjectives to describe yourself: scatterbrained, frugal (cheap), sometimes selfish
5. If you could live anywhere in the world for one year, where would you go, and why?: London or Holland most likely, mainly because I am interested in the history of it, as well as the fact that London has a lot of great haunted places that I'd love to explore
6. Explain the significance/meaning/origin of your username: 'Quirky' is my nickname given to me by my Dad and it fit so well it stuck. 'Slayer' is from the anime The Slayers, about sword and sorcery.
7. What's your favourite holiday, and why?: All Hallow's Eve, mainly for the supernatural aspect to it, and well, because it's fun to dress up that day. That and it's really the only holiday you're not obligated to give people stuff.
8. Favourite three books (besides Harry Potter): The Flowers in the Attic, Emma, Le Morte D'Arthur
9. What is or was your favourite and or best subject in school? My favorites were Art and Literature, and my best subjects were those two as well as Math and Chemistry.
10. If you could ask JKR one question, what would it be? Oh wow, well for one, I'd ask her what great tips or advice she could give aspiring writers.
11. Which of the Harry Potter books thus far was your favourite, and why?: The Order of Phoenix and The Prisoner of Azkaban, because of the darker themes. The third book introduced a lot more of Harry's Past with Sirius and Lupin, who I thought were darker characters, yet good guys, and the book also introduced the Dementors. The fifth book Harry was very angry and the mood of the entire book was a lot more angst-ridden. Loved them!
12. If you could have the power to perform one spell, and only one spell, absolutely flawlessly for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Most definitely Apparating. I think it would be very useful.
13. What House do you honestly think you’d end up in, and why?: I would guess either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. I've always been sorted in Ravenclaw before, probable because of my great and general interest in learning anything new. I'm hardly a risk taker, and I dislike any mean-spiritedness, so definitely not the other two. I can see myself in Hufflepuff because no one would know where to put me, but I am very loyal in that respect.
14. Are you willing to accept cross-gendered votes/stamps?: Sure, I have no problem with that.
15. Anything else we should know?: Can't think of anything
16. Please post at least three clear pictures of yourself:
