Amy is alive

[author_by_night]

I feel loved, but rumors of my death have been highly exaggerated. Not to worry!

I am flattered that not posting after two days means I've gone missing - no, really. Though it makes me a bit more worried still about my online habits... oh well.

I'm still here... I just have been in a slight lurking mood these days. I did make a poll earlier today, but it went all weird, so I deleted it.

I've decided to try something I keep meaning to try. A bit of a game, more for those of you who don't know me well: judge me by my fics, entries, etc. Theregoesyamum did this a while ago, so I'm following suit.

1. How old am I? (Just make a general estimate - late teens, early twenties, mid twenties, early thirties... of course, you can also guess an exact age if you wish).

2. Single, in a relationship, married...?

3. What sort of books might I read, besides Harry Potter? (Don't look at my userinfo!)

4. What sort of music do I listen to?

5. Which of the Harry Potter books is my favorite?

6. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my favorite?

7. Which of the Harry Potter books is my least favorite?

8. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my least favorite?

9. What religion am I, or do I have a religion?

10. Name two to six childrens (and/or pre-teens) book  series you think, or know, I liked way back when. 

11. What characters from these books may I have always identified myself with?

12. What book characters - Harry Potter or otherwise - do I identify myself with now, even to the smallest degree?

1. I think you're 19. I think, but don't quote me on it. XD

2. single

3. I know this. I really, really do. I just...can't...remember. You seem like you'd like realistic fiction, though.

4. No idea. Oh, but I know you have at least some knowledge of Sarah McLachlan, and probably like music like hers. (Did I ever tell you that I love your songfic of "Angel?")

5. Total wild guess here, but I'll go with the third, because it seems like everyone loves it.

6. Another wild guess, but I'll say the fourth.

7. I really don't know much about you in relation to HP! For you, I'd say the first or second.

8. Following logic through, I'm going to say the third, because I bet you love the third book and hate what the movie did to it.

9. You are, and I quote, "Something, with Christian leanings."

10. Hm. Babysitter's Club, because everyone read them. I bet you read the Wayside School books, too.

11. You identified with...Maryanne from BSC and Allison from Wayside School. *nods authoritatively even though she has no clue what she's talking about*

12. You identify with Hermione and Ginny and Harry and Luna. And Neville. And Tonks. *is still clueless*

1. How old am I? (Just make a general estimate - late teens, early twenties, mid twenties, early thirties... of course, you can also guess an exact age if you wish).
Eighteen-ish.

2. Single, in a relationship, married...?
I suspect you're single, but I want to say "spoken for".

3. What sort of books might I read, besides Harry Potter? (Don't look at my userinfo!)
Hm. Books with strong characters and good plots, with or without romance. I think you'd love Tamora Pierce (any of her books) but that's just me.

4. What sort of music do I listen to?
Indie acoustic folk bluesy jazz. (Or KT Tunstall, to put it simply.) Somehow you strike me as the Lillith-Faire sort of person.

5. Which of the Harry Potter books is my favorite?
I wanna say you're a rebel and it's the fifth one. If not, then third or maybe fourth.

6. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my favorite?
Second.

7. Which of the Harry Potter books is my least favorite?
First, or maybe sixth. I personally hate the fifth, but I won't impress my opinions on you.

8. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my least favorite?
Third.

9. What religion am I, or do I have a religion?
Something Protestant and vaguely committed. Baptist, maybe? Or perhaps Methodist. Or Episcopal. One of those three.

10. Name two to six childrens (and/or pre-teens) book series you think, or know, I liked way back when.
Baby-Sitters' Club, maybe. Boxcar Children. Surely you enjoyed Ella Enchanted. Hm. Anything by Madeline L'Engle. Ramona. Stuart Little, maybe?

11. What characters from these books may I have always identified myself with?
Ramona, for sure. Maybe Claudie for BSC. Ella for Ella Enchanted. Meg or Charles Wallace for Madeline L'Engle. The boy in Stuart Little.

12. What book characters - Harry Potter or otherwise - do I identify myself with now, even to the smallest degree?
Hermione, Draco, or Ginny. Or all three.

You know, I sound remarkable sure of myself on some of those...

stealing this...

PoA

1. Um...early twenties?
2. Single.
3. Um, fantasy books. Terry Pratchett. *is out of ideas*
4. Classical? Jazz? Not pop, I think.
5. PoA. Because it just seems like everyone likes PoA. I don't really see why it's the best one, myself.
6. GoF. Just because I think so, too. :P
7. ...HBP? Because everyone's most hated book seems to be HBP? Funny, I thought it was one of the better ones. *shrug* Probably just because it's longer than most of the books. :D
8. CoS. I don't know.
9. Christianity...because pretty much everyone is. Um...Catholic?
10. Baby-Sitters' Club. I think I remember you saying that. Er...whatitsname by Louis Sachar?

*plunge*
1. How old am I? (Just make a general estimate - late teens, early twenties, mid twenties, early thirties... of course, you can also guess an exact age if you wish).

Already know. 21.

2. Single, in a relationship, married...?

Single

3. What sort of books might I read, besides Harry Potter? (Don't look at my userinfo!)

Hhhhmmm... Ya Ya Sisterhood or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or something like that xD Babysitters Club way back when (I guess it doesn’t really count… you also used to like Sideways Stories). To Kill a Mockingbird. You’re currently reading a book by a demonologist. Mmm... can’t think of the rest, though I know you’ve named a lot.

4. What sort of music do I listen to?

RENT [soundtrack], Sarah Maclachlan, Jason Mraz, Allison Krauss, the Wizard of Oz “spinoff”, I just forgot the name (also soundtrack), Jewel.

5. Which of the Harry Potter books is my favorite?

I’m stuck between PoA and OotP... or maybe you are xD

6. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my favorite?

Crap, uuuumm... PoA, I guess? (I’m pretty sure lots of people think that, at any rate :P)

7. Which of the Harry Potter books is my least favorite?

Chamber of Secrets (I still don’t know why)

8. Which of the Harry Potter movies is my least favorite?

Completely lost on this.

9. What religion am I, or do I have a religion?

No specific religion [and you’re not really that active anymore, though you used to be]. You’re just Christian and you believe in angels :)

10. Name two to six childrens (and/or pre-teens) book series you think, or know, I liked way back when.

Oh good, now I can erase what I’d put earlier xD Sideways Stories and Babysitters Club are what I know… (or are the Traveling Pants things from your childhood, too?) Actually, gonna leave the “those don’t count” names there xD

11. What characters from these books may I have always identified myself with?

No idea.

12. What book characters - Harry Potter or otherwise - do I identify myself with now, even to the smallest degree?

Tonks, duh :P (though I don’t know if you only mean female characters, I’m not exactly sure if “identifying” really implies anything)

[ghostlygrove.livejournal.com]

I'm immediately coming to my own defense on the demonologist thing, 'cause Amy led me to believe it was written by one (as in, "this is my experience" or "this is what I think of things"), when it's really a FICTIONAL story :P

(I'm talking to her right now and she's telling me the things I got wrong)
