What zodiac sign are you? Do you put much stock in that sort of thing?:I'm a Virgo/Rooster. It's fun to read horoscopes but I don't put any faith in it.
Are you in any of the Harry Potter landcomms here on LJ? (HiH, H_E, etc)? What house? I'm a Gryffindor at both HIH and H_E. Go, go Gryffindor!

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "what the fuck is a fandom?" and 10 being "I love so many fandoms!" how much is your LJ an expression of your love for fandoms?:Maybe a 3. I mostly talk about my life with the occasional fandom post.
If money was no object (eg: every career made the same amount annually), what job would you have? (Don't say anything lame like "no job" or "professional lazyass" - dig deep, people!): I'd be a professional academic. I enjoy teaching but I love being a student and learning new things. I'd just take classes for the sake of learning something new and maybe lecture occasionally.

What are you looking for in a new friend? Do you care about how often people comment?:I don't care if you comment a lot or not, I'm not a huge commenter. I go through phases where I'm "COMMENT ON ALL THE THINGS!" and other times where I feel like just reading. I'd like to add people I can be good friends with.
