This is the "ask me five questions" meme. Comment if you want me to ask you some; I will, and you can post the replies in your LJ.

Questions asked to  me by stmaragets:

1. What's your favorite cartoon?

Actually, I don't really watch cartoons. But I used to love Charlie Brown and Garfield, and will probably introduce those shows to my kids, if I ever raise them.

2. Coke or Pepsi?

At a restauraunt or whatever it doesn't matter, but for some reason I prefer canned or bottled Pepsi to canned or bottled Coke.

3. You're invited to the Yule Ball. What color robes are you wearing and who is your date?

If I'm a MWPP era person? Remus. Trio era? Um... not sure. 

My robes are probably blue. Or white. Or pink and black.

4. Hagrid takes you to Diagon Alley to buy a pet. Which magical creature would you select?

I'd get a normal cat, probably.


5. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Er... only counting ones I currently wear, about seven or eight.  Maybe more. I haven't really counted. I reuse a lot
of them, because I have narrow feet and finding quality shoes is a pain. So in actuality, I probably have three pairs
that are actually new.

LOL - you like a lot of colors for robes! Yes - any era for a Yule ball and Remus would be a fine date.

My son loves Charlie Brown - it seems to be one of those timeless cartoons.

I don't have that many shoes either.

Want questions?

[stmargarets.livejournal.com]

When you have time! I'll answer them on your LJ.

1. Why St. Margaret's for a name? It's a nice one, and I've always wondered where you got it. (Plus, there's a school not so far away from me called St. Margaret's, I believe). Also, os Margaret your real name?

2. What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" song?

3. Apple or Pumpkin Pie?

4. Tie along with #2 - any guilty pleasure books?

5. Where is the weirdest place you've found yourself?

[stmargarets.livejournal.com]

1. It's a place name - there's St. Margarets Bay here in Nova Scotia and St. Margaret's chapel in Edinburgh Castle. When I visited Edinburgh castle I was struck by the serenity of this chapel in the middle of all the crazy tourist hustle and bustle. Since JKR lived in Scotland, I thought it would be a good tribute. Margaret is my middle name.

2. "It's Raining Men." LOL - that's hard to say. I do like Dance music - so all those cheesy Disco Songs would probably go on the list of guilty pleasures - but not a steady diet.

3. Not being an H/Hr - I'll say: Apple - but my favorite is cherry.

4. I read Harlequin romances when the goin' gets tough.

5. This one was hard! Either I haven't been anywhere, or I kind of take things as they come. I've been to some weird houses and to some weird parties - but it was more that the people were weird rather than the place itself. Hmm. I guess being out in the middle the woods in Northern Maine ranks up there as an erie experience since there was no one around for miles and miles. No cell phone, nothing. Those kind of places give me the heebie-jeebies.

I'll take some questions, please!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. Is your name really Harriet?

2. What Potter guys (or girls) would you set your friends up with?

3. How old are you?

4. What are two of your favorite songs?

5. What Potter character would you want to be set up with?

[petitecrivan.livejournal.com]

Ooh I want questions! :D

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. What, if any, Potter character do you most closely identify with?

2. If you had to choose between a two week cruise in the Carribean or a one week stay in Hawaii, which one would it be?

3. What is one of your favorite movies?

4. Have you ever sung karaoke?

5. What's worse: Too hot or too cold?

[farting-nora.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Question time! I want Questions!

I have the same problems with shoes. I wear a 4 slim, but I generally just have to get a regular 4, because slims are hard to find.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. When did you first get interested in fish?

2. What was the name of your first fish?

3. Have you ever taken dance lessons?

4. Name the Harry Potter books you prefer the most in order.

5. Is it sunny whever you are at the moment?

[tina-berlinbear.livejournal.com]

Just put your 2nd LJ onto my friends-list, too, Amy.
Ask away, I'd love to give you my answers.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. What gave you the name "Berlinbear"?

2. What book character reminds you of someone you know?

3. What's better, lemonade or fruit punch?

4. Sunny, slightly cool day or very warm cloudy day?

5. If you're married, where was your honeymoon? If you're not, where is your ideal honeymoon?

[tina-berlinbear.livejournal.com]

1. What gave you the name "Berlinbear"?
I am from Berlin, Germany. The Bear is out heladic sign. Ans as I'm rather bear-shaped, and a proud Berliner on top of it, I chose the name of Berlin Bear. And I love bears, of course.
2. What book character reminds you of someone you know?
Well, I don't know him personally yet, but on the wedding picture Gitte's (Gitte (Geet) from ECfans) hubby Ralph reminds me a lot of a grown-up Harry Potter.
3. What's better, lemonade or fruit punch?
I don't really like lemonade - too sweet. Prefer juice mixed with mineral water. But a nice fruit punch on a nice garden party would be quite welcome.
4. Sunny, slightly cool day or very warm cloudy day?
I'd prefer a sunny, slightly cool day. Don't feel comfortable in temperatures above 27°C. I only love hot days when on our boat outaside on the lake - so I can jump in for a cool-down whenever I like.
5. If you're married, where was your honeymoon? If you're not, where is your ideal honeymoon?
After our wedding we went on a trip through Germany with our little motor-home. Spent 2 of the 3 weeks on Sylt island in the North-Sea, just behind the dunes. It was absolutely wonderful!
My ideal honeymoon would have been somewhere near to the Sea or on an island, too. So it WAS perfect. (This year it's been 20 years we're married now - and still happy)

(This year it's been 20 years we're married now - and still happy)

Oh, that's wonderful! *Hugs*

[tina-berlinbear.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. And on top of it, wer've been together for 31 years now. Far more than half of my life - and I don't regret it.

[julibeth.livejournal.com]

I want questions! :) This looks fun!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Okay!

1. Why do you call yourself "Julibeth"? Besides the fact that your middle name is Elizabeth. (Unless that's the only reason).

2. What's worse: Book seven coming out in a year, but although it's really good, it's also only 500 pages, OR book seven being 800 pages, and coming out in 2010?

3. What is a guilty pleasure movie you love?

4. Have you ever named a belonging?

5. What is something I probably don't know about you? (Nothing personal, just something really random like "I have Harry Potter slippers.")

[ghostlygrove.livejournal.com]

I really don't feel like reading through all the comments to make sure I'm not repeating one, so if I am, well, either be a good samaritan and say "such and such answered", or be lazy and don't say anything at all... (kidding :P)

1. How many times have you been in love or had a crush?
2. What is the one smell you can't stand, no matter what? (if it's too gross to mention, don't worry, hehe)
3. Do you think aliens will ever be confirmed to exist?
4. Do you like having long nails or short?
5. Have you ever purchased anything off an infomercial?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. How many times have you been in love or had a crush?

About five kiddy type crushes, one sort-of-crush, and four serious crushes where I honestly saw romantic potential in the guys. I've never really been in love though.

2. What is the one smell you can't stand, no matter what? (if it's too gross to mention, don't worry, hehe)

Cigarettes. Seriously. If someone is smoking and passing me, I will step aside and hold my breath if they've passed, and that's outside. If I have to be in front of or next to a smoker, outside or inside, I will cough the moment I get away. I don't know how anyone can stand it.

3. Do you think aliens will ever be confirmed to exist?

Not the ET type, but... you never know about others.

4. Do you like having long nails or short?

Long-ish - I don't want to be able to cut someone with them, but I can't stand them being too short either.

5. Have you ever purchased anything off an infomercial?

Not straight from one, no.

[tipsytoe.livejournal.com]

I don't mind answering some questions myself, please. :)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

1. Fish or Crabs?

2. What is a guilty pleasure hobby?

3 Have you ever danced in the rain?

4. What was something really silly you believed as a young child?

5. Is there anything you're supposed to love (popular tv show, song, etc) that you can't stand? (Or at least have no interest in?)

[tipsytoe.livejournal.com]

Ooh, and pink and black seems like a nice combination. I would want Sirius, but I think I'll go for Peter, because who knows, we might have fun. ;)

[angieweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh!! Oh!! Ask me questions!

Much love,
