(only if you wanna...)

Please fill out this survey so I can get to know you better. Old friends, fill it out too! Even if I know you well, I may find out something about you I never knew. Feel free to spread this around on your LJ - we can all get to know each other. If there is a question you don't want to or don't know how to answer, just tell me something else instead.

1. Name: Peregrine online, mostly
2. Preferred gender pronoun: She/her
3. Birthday: December 4, 1971
4. Where do you live and/or time zone: Florida - You don't have to be crazy to live in Florida, but it helps.
5: What are you studying/What are you working as: I am a quality assurance specialist, which can mean like a zillion different things depending upon where you work. What it means in this case is that I get paid to read and proofread online courses, most of which are designed for military clients. I really like my job, though transitioning from being a SAHM to a WOHM totally kicked my ass, and I'm still adjusting nine months later.
6. What makes you happy/hobbies: I like to bake bread, write poetry, embroider, sew little animals out of craft felt, make collages, draw, paint, read, sing, and learn languages. I also like to meditate and go on walks with my dog. I wish I did all of these things more. :-)
7. An interesting fact about you: I learned to read when I was three. Sadly, that's also pretty much the highlight of my academic career.
8. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment?: Yes. I'm in love with my husband, and I also have several crushes.
9. Favorite place to be: anyplace I can sit and breathe for a bit
10. A word to describe yourself: Scattered. (borrowing this one from Grey)

FANDOM
1. Favorite Fandom(s): if you know, then you know
2. OTP/OT3: <--- WHAT IS THIS THING? (stealing this from Grey as idk either)
3. Celebrities you flail over: None - I just find people I know so much more interesting. Not that the celebrities aren't; I just don't know them.
4. Favorite music: Lately the Wailin' Jennys.

PLUS
1. One thing you like about LJ/DW: I have a sense of community and friendship here and I also have a lot of memories recorded.
2. Two things you like about yourself: I'm a caring person. I learn and grow from my experiences.
3. What House in Hogwarts are you in/would you be in? Probably Hufflepuff? I'm pretty smart, but I don't have the sharp personality of a Ravenclaw. I'm brave, but not as brave as a Gryffindor. And I'm not ambitious enough (plus I'm too lawful good) to be in Slythyrin. Plus I like the letter f. :-)

I saw this on Amadi's page and here is what I posted:

Name: Pamela Jones, no need for an alias with it.

Preferred gender pronoun: She/her

Birthday: April 10

Where do you live and/or time zone: Pittsburgh, PA, USA. It has, despite what you may have heard, it's high points. <---- I saw no need to change this. (I reused Amadi's answer as we both live in Pittsburgh.)

What are you studying/What are you working as: I'm studying my religious witchcraft tradition. I work as an optician.

What makes you happy/hobbies: Reading, drawing, writing, painting, listening to the birds, chatting with friends, singing off key, interwebz, my family.

An interesting fact about you: I never shut up as a child if I was in familiar company. As I grew I became quiet and withdrawn in school, shy. I do well speaking in front of agroup, but I'm in a full body sweat each and every time.

Are you in love/have a crush at the moment? Always.

Favorite place to be: The ocean

A word to describe yourself: joy

FANDOM
Favorite Fandom(s): N/A.

OTP/OT3: N/A <--- BTW, this is some slash fanfic type site I am pretty certain

Celebrities you flail over: Maybe Johnny Depp

Favorite music: Most kinds though my spirit soars to primal drumbeats.


PLUS
One thing you like about LJ/DW: It feels like a small town in a good way.

Two things you like about yourself: My sense of humour. My ability to get over myself.

What House in Hogwarts are you in/would you be in? I haven't the foggiest idea. <--- Me, either and I saw the first film.

I love your comment about listening to the birds. Beautiful.

I love being near the ocean too.

Joy is such a wonderful word to have as a self-descriptor.

Thanks for answering! I enjoyed reading.

I don't know what OT3 is, but "OTP" stands for One True Pairing. In fannish circles, it's the couple who you are most obsessed with or who you like to read / write slash fiction about. (They do not have to be a couple in canon; In fact, I think they often aren't, although it's not uncommon for them to be the subject of obvious dramatic sexual tension.)

Thanks! :-)

Also, it doesn't have to be slash - there's plenty of het OPTs. :)
