So I am doing it now! The entry is public, so please, share!

rhetoricians friendstravaganza experience make no guarantees regarding the caliber or quality of potential friend candidates, only that she has some awesome friends and wants to share them and make some new ones!Of course, for this to work, it has to be shared! Here is a link to the HTML code for the sharing portion of our fair meme!
ETA: The HTML code should link back to this entry now! I am a huge derp. Please post away! (there might be a spare "div" in there but if you just delete it it'll be A-OK).

What zodiac sign are you? Do you put much stock in that sort of thing?:
Capricorn; no.
Are you in any of the Harry Potter landcomms here on LJ? (HiH, H_E, etc)? What house?
Not at all, but I don't care if you are.
Location (or a close approximation):
Triana, Sevilla, Spain
Job/year in school:
Enrolled in a Spanish immersion program with hopes of eventually being an English-Spanish-French translator/interpreter. First though I plan on trying to become a medical interpreter since that only needs a certificate. I want to use that as a stepping stone to grad school in Spain.
Favorites lightning round!
Favorite...
Movies:
Some of my favorite movies are romantic comedies, like The Wedding Singer, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and I'm trying to watch some more Almodovar films, I like his work.
Books:
I like Gabriel Garcia Marquez from what I've read of his
Video games:
Not applicable.
TV shows:
Nothing now since my flat doesn't have a TV, but I used to watch E! some HGTV, LOGO, Cooking Channel and Food Network...I'm sure there's more but I'm blanking
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?:
0, but I don't care so much if you are
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'm aiming to do that, English-Spanish-French translator/interpreter
What does the subject matter of most of your LJ entries seem to focus on? (eg: real life, fandom stuff, writing, graphics, etc): Real life, I just moved to Spain. I have a Wordpress for just Spain stuff if you only want to read that. I link to it in my LJ sometimes, but my LJ will get a more candid view since I obviously don't link to it on FB or anytuhing
What are you looking for in a new friend? Do you care about how often people comment?:
Somewhat. If you have nothing to say to me, that's fine, but I'd like to if you would try to comment to a fair amount of the comments I leave in your journal. I get that life gets busy (I mean, I finally have time to read some LJ as I'm home "early," it's 11pm here right now), but LJ, to me, is pointless without any communication. If I wanted no communication I wouldn't have a [mostly public] online journal.

Date: 2011-09-05 09:13 pm (UTC)We went flying all the time when I was younger. I think there were three or four years in a row that we went to the fly-in in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We also flew from Missouri to Colorado quite a few times, and went up a bunch on the weekends. It was awesome. Unfortunately, I've only been on commercial flights since I was fifteen or so, rather than private planes.

What zodiac sign are you? Do you put much stock in that sort of thing?:Leo. I don't pay much attention to zodiacs, though! I read my horoscope for fun sometimes, but it has never been accurate.

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?:6, maybe? I post favorites lists and things sometimes, but I'm not super active in any fandom communities.
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 would be a wildlife photographer! I'm a hobby photographer and animals are my favorite thing to shoot.

What are you looking for in a new friend? Do you care about how often people comment?:I'm not too picky, to be honest. I have quite a few people on my f-list but I only interact with a few of them, so I'd at least like people who comment every now and then. But then again, I don't post super often, so I guess I'm part of the problem! :P
