Name (or what you go by on LJ): Katie
Age: 25
What zodiac sign are you? Do you put much stock in that sort of thing?: Virgo, and I have mixed opinions.
Are you in any of the Harry Potter landcomms here on LJ? (HiH, H_E, etc)? What house? Gryffindor at H_E and was Gryff at HiH once too.
Location (or a close approximation): Austin, TX, the northern bits of which are currently aflame.
Job/year in school: I am a full-time nanny but also just started my first semester of graduate school in Criminal Justice
Favorites lightning round!
Favorite...
Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal, Singing in the Rain, The Philadelphia Story, Meet Me in St. Louis, Moon, Plan B, Velvet Goldmine
Books: The Last Unicorn, Peter Pan, anything Neil Gaiman, Umbrella Academy, The Mysterious Benedict Society, An Abundance of Katherines, Sunshine, This Side of Paradise, The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl
Video games: Not much anymore, but Katamari, Final Fantasy VIII, and Guild Wars. And The Sims 2!
TV shows: I don't have cable any more, but The Mighty Boosh, Venture Brothers, White Collar, Bones, The Catherine Tate Show, Futurama, The Black Donnelleys, Animaniacs
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? It's complicated. In many ways, my LJ is more RL than fandom, but my RL is heavily involved in fandom - I met 90% of my IRL friends in fandom, I got my job squeeing about Star Trek with my boss, most of my friendly get-togethers are at fandom events, and I wouldn't be in the grad program I'm in if not for my supportive flist. So I post about 50/50 RL and fandom, but they blend together a lot.
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!): Pay rate is soooo not a factor in how I pick a job. I mean, above all I'd love to be an actress or a singer but pay rate is not affecting that for me - it's lack of talent and opportunity. Right now I'd probably still be in retail/customer service actually. I like retail, I just can't live off a retail salary. So I watch babies.
What does the subject matter of most of your LJ entries seem to focus on? (eg: real life, fandom stuff, writing, graphics, etc): As I said above, probably more RL than straight-up fandom, but it blends a lot for me.
What are you looking for in a new friend? Do you care about how often people comment?: Don't care! I do like it when people want to talk on AIM though.
Please close your comment with an awesome gif or funny picture. I'm on my school computer so I don't have any. :(
