*giggles* True. I'm wearing my mugglenet T-shirt that says Got Harry? (my Snape shirt is in the wash). Then again, I usually wear one of my HP shirts when I write. I am so lame. 
The person below me has a favorite Alan Rickman movie. Mine is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Yes, I know it supposedly stars Kevin Costner, but you must admit there was some serious scene stealing going on.  |

My favorite Alan Rickman movie is An Awfully Big Adventure. Admittedly, he doesn't appear until a good third-to-half of the way through the film. But his performance is masterful. And he doesn't have any weird facial hair. And he wears the most wonderful leather jacket. And rides a motorcycle. :~)
But I think I probably like the movie mainly because it appeals to my literary sensibilities. (The training for an English major will do that to you.) It's a tragedy, for more than one of the characters. And I've known a few real people like Stella. Heck, I wasn't that far off from being like her when I was a teenager. Only by the grace of God and my incredibly *sane* adoptive parents.
Oh, and Hugh Grant gives a performance that proves he can really act, not just look handsome in front of a camera.
The person below me has a favorite piece of classical music. (Mine is a toss-up between Dvorak's New World Symphony and the Overture to Wagner's The Flying Dutchman. Oh, and Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. And yes, I don't know the conventions for musical titles, and I'm too tired to look it up.)

Ooh, very, very true...of all the pieces of music I've ever performed with my choir, Mozart's requiem mass is by far my favourite, though Thomas Tallis' "If Ye Love Me", Byrd's "Sing Joyfully" and most of Händel's "Judas Maccabaeus" come pretty close. As far as instrumental classical music goes, though, I'll always have a soft spot for Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and the Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 14" (better known as the "Moonlight Sonata").
Er, sorry about that. Music's an even bigger obsession for me than reading and writing combined.
The person below me has fallen out of bed at least once. |

True. When I was younger I used to have a bunk bed and had a nightmare and fell out when I was about 8. Don't really remember it though, just the pain.
The person below me has been sent flowers in the last 6 months. |

Semi-false? I've not been sent flowers, but I've been given flowers a number of times.
The person below me gets silly-happy when they receive feedback on a fic they wrote, no matter how brief or inane the comment. |

True. And the giddiness increases with the word count. I was once told that the review euphoria wears off after a while, but I not sure if I can go along with that theory. OK, now that you all know how pathetic I am, go read and review me I want to test that theory. If you really want to, that is. *LW crawls back under her nice secure rock*
The person below me is afraid of the dark. |

Sometimes true, but only when I am outdoors, all those flipping hooting and cooing birds and especially twig snappings drive me nuts........I always wonder what is actually making the twigs snap........hmm?
The person below me moans a lot. |

I do. I'm such a whiner. On the other hand, I have fibromyalgia, so I have reason to moan. But even before I got that, complaining has always seemed to relieve my feelings.
As for the dark...when I was child, I had this irrational fear that a huge, scary ape lived in our back yard when it was dark, and I hated to go out there alone at night. I didn't realize just how scared of the dark I still was as an adult until we moved out in the woods. No street lights, no neighbors. Whew! I was glad to move back into town. But really, it's what might be *in* the dark, not the dark itself, isn't it?
The person below me loves a food now that they couldn't stand to eat as a child. (Say...avocados...or mayonnaise.)

True. Prawns, my older sister told me they were fish ears, and I believed her! Yes I know I was a very gullible child. However when I fell pregnant for the first time I craved them, but not on their own they had to be eaten with dark chocolate.......gross or what.
The person below me believes humanity has vast potential but lacks the collective will to harness it. |

True. Now it depends from what you mean with "potential". I used to think that if women were ruling the world, things would probably go better. After all, who raise the children and spend so much time time trying to teach them how to behave in life? But now, many years after, I'm feeling a little bit more deluded... If human beings behaved as they constantly ask their children to do in the game parks (This is not yours, let him play with your toys, why did you hurt her, now go and tell her you are sorry, it's time you leave the swing to somebody else, did you thank him for the icecream he offered you and on and on and on in the most beautiful heavenly situation)
maybe there still could be an hope. But as soon as the kids grow up, you see how the music changes and becomes "if you don't want to look stupid, be the first to punch him down!"
Sorry, may be too much babysitting in the last months...
Also, excuse my poor English!
And speaking of not being English.... the person below me can read or write or talk at least in another language (better if two)!
(Well, I can read and speak French, but I cannot write it, never remember where the accents go) |

Ok false, I am utterly crap at languages, and my native one is english by the way. And on the babysitting comment, I have to laugh, as a full time mom and homemaker (this includes cook,cleaner,personal shopper, personal diary assistant, taxi service, babble translator, relationship counsellor,stylist, hairdresser, biology teacher, nurse, nursery nurse, homework helper........and about another thousand occupations as required upon demand) I find it entirely too amusing. And yes I have seen that look of desperation on my own babysitters face when returning home for the evening....you know that one that says if you had been so much as a minute more with your charges, you would have either passed out or pulled your hair out while screaming 'I'm a little teapot'. LOL.

Definitely NOT! I admit I'm not a fan of slash in general, but some pairings I can at least *see*, like H/R and RL/SB and Draco with any number of people. But have I never read a story (and I *have* read a few, to appease friends!) where I found Snape's homosexuality to be believably in character. My mental image of Snape is fixedly hetero.
The person below me knows who the FlyLady is (whether they're a FlyBaby or not).

Yes, yes, yes.........though I would beg for it if I had to. I don't think there are many Potter fans who don't want to know some things not in the stories.......such as what happened to the Potter's senior as in James' mum and dad.......And also who doesn't want to know whether Eileen Prince was known to Voldemort.
Fia.
The person below me has had a bizarre injury in the last 2 years. |
