Name (or what you go by on LJ): Liz Age: I'll be 30 on the 15th 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! Location (or a close approximation): South suburbs of Chicago, IL. Job/year in school: I wish I were still in school. I miss being a student. I'm trying to find a teaching job now. Favorites lightning round! Favorite... Movies:Labyrinth, Stardust, Mirrormask, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man in the Iron Mask, The Three Musketeers, The Shawshank Redemption, Road to Perdition, Indiana Jones (Crystal Skull doesn't exist in my world), Star Wars. Books:Harry Potter, The Looking Glass Wars, World War Z, Lord of the Rings, Inkheart, anything by Jane Austen, Neil Gaiman, or Clive Cussler, The Sea-Wolf, The Thirteenth Tale... so many more. Video games:Tetris, Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES) and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES). I'm not a big video gamer. TV shows:Doctor Who, Torchwood, Leverage, Rizzoli & Isles, Thundercats. Favorites that have wrapped up: Battlestar Galactica, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Secret Diary of a Call Girl 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 does the subject matter of most of your LJ entries seem to focus on? (eg: real life, fandom stuff, writing, graphics, etc): My LJ is mostly real life stuff. 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. Please close your comment with an awesome gif or funny picture.
