Questions from diceandpokerchips aka Nat
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?
This is a tough question. I used to spend my summers (before I was a university student) re-reading both series. I think, ultimately, I have to go with Harry Potter, though. I love the Lord of the Rings, but Harry Potter is more important to me. Maybe because it was being made while I was growing up, so I had the experience of anxiously awaiting the next book and growing up with Harry and the Hogwarts kids? I don't know, but Harry Potter wins.
Which movie have you seen the most times and why?
Inception without a doubt. I can (and have done) watch it back to back to back all day, just absorbing the nuances of the acting and set design and everything. It's by far my favourite movie.
Your favourite class in high school?
I took a couple of classes that were taught by my swim coach, Aquatic Science, and Geology, Meterology, and Oceanography (or GMO). They were by far my favourite classes. We set up giant aquariums in the lab (we could choose salt or freshwater - I always picked salt water) and then we went to the beach and bayous and lakes around the area to collect organisms for our tank. I had crabs (stone crabs and blue crabs) and several different types of fish in my tank, and my favourite part of the day was going to class early to feed my critters and look after them.
I volunteered at the Sea Center in High School, too, which meant that when the year was up and we had to empty our tanks, I took the critters to the Sea Center. The fish couldn't be released into the wild right away, so they went to live in the giant tanks of the Sea Center's Aquarium. The crabs went into the touch tank, or the aquariums, depending on how big they were.
By far the best experience of high school.
Most embarrassing situation you’ve ever been in?
At the moment, all I'm coming up with is a family dinner I had to attend at my grandparent's fiftieth anniversary celebration. I love my family, we're a big bunch of goobers. But on this night, my parents were teasing me about a crush I had on a guy in my class (I was probably about 10 or 11 at the time), and my entire extended family was listening. I was mortified. So I was standing behind my mom's chair, and I ducked down to avoid their gazes...and my hair (which my cousin had done up for me earlier) got stuck in the zipper of my mom's purse, which was hanging on the back of her chair. So now I was stuck. My cousin who had done my hair had to help me get unstuck, and she was laughing so hard she could barely focus.
Pretty embarrassing.
Do you have a pet? What kind?
At the moment, I don't. I used to have a hedgie, but he died :(
What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?
This is such a big question, holy cow. I guess I don't know what I'd see, and isn't that kind of the point? That our biggest desires are hidden from us? But anyways. I'd probably see something like me being happy with my life - working a job I enjoyed, coming home to someone who loved me, being genuinely happy.
Your biggest ship?
Arthur/Eames, from Inception, or Drarry, from HP. Arthur/Eames is my love, but Drarry was my first love, and nothing will replace that.
Describe your favorite ever fanfiction?
So I read this drarry fic once upon a time that I absolutely loved. I can't remember the name of it now, or who it was by (any help would be appreciated!) but it basically it was a war!fic, and Harry was living in Grimmauld Place with Ron & Hermione the summer before their seventh year. Draco Malfoy comes to live there as well, b/c he left the DEs. They start falling for each other, but that isn't the main plot - the plot is the war. Krum is involved, as well as other Bulgarians that Harry makes friends with. Hermione, Ron & Draco go back to Hogwarts for their seventh year, and Draco gets resorted into Gryffindor. Harry visits them there, and helps protect the school from an attack, with the help of the Bulgarians. Then later he faces Voldemort in an attack in Bulgaria, too...It's really, really well written and I WISH I COULD FIND IT AGAIN.
Favourite TV show?
I like so many...I'm currently rewatching Criminal Minds (b/c YES), and Supernatural as well...I've been watching Teen Wolf (guilty pleasure...). I loved Firefly and Fringe (both over now, cries).
Favourite Disney/animated movie?
Toy Story, without a doubt. I'm a bit obsessed...
If you could wake up tomorrow in any time period and spend the whole day there, when would it be?
This is such a tough question, too. And my answer is going to sound incredibly dark. But I'd really like to go to sometime between 1914 and 1918. I'm so intrigued by the Great War, and know in my head and heart that it was *horrible*, but I have always wanted to experience the trenches, to know without a doubt the horrors they went through, the smell, the feel, the sounds. Dark, right?
