Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I am doing a masterful job of procrastinating on my comprehensive. I should've done that for Nano even though it had better not be anywhere near 50,000 words, dissertation sure comp no.
In response to #6 first, I don't have many icons and I am absolutely horrible about searching for new ones. I like a lot of my friend's icons but I'd feel like a grade school copycat if all of my icons were the same as my friends!
#5 part 1: How did I come to LJ? One of my old roomates from university harrassed me to join LJ. She joined a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, but I didn't follow. After I got fed up with MySpace, I migrated here because of my university friend and a lot of other RL friends who'd had LJ accounts and were also tired of MySpace. I believe they were quite relieved when I finally caved.
Part 2: Fanfic....oh how I love and hate you. Fanfic started out as a glorious procrastination tool for my roomate and I our last year of university. Both of us knew better than to bring books for pleasure reading with us to school because nothing would get done. As our school library didn't carry much of anything interesting (I'd already read the classics I wanted to read thank you), this worked quite well to keep us nice and studious...(*snort*). We were in major withdrawl because it was between GoF and OoTP when we came across FF.net. It exploded from there to SugarQuill, the Werewolf Registry, FanfictionAlley, etc. My roomie and I read eachother (yes, out loud) soooooo many Lupin (her) and Snape (me) fics.
Part 3: Other interests...I'm a sci-fi nut. I also enjoy fantasy novels other than HP. Vampires are most glorious though, suprisingly, I was never a Buffy fan and I HATE Anne Rice novels...don't get me started unless you want a rant. I enjoy music both playing and listening to it. I am particularly fascinated with the British Isles. Oh, and I like Chemistry (FIRE and making things go BOOM!) and Pharmacology/Toxicology. Sorry, I'm not being very coherent. I'm waiting very impatiently for my labmate to return and show me where he stashed something. Yeah...
