More Halloween Fun!

[Tracy]

* Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
  
   I believe that life goes on after the physical body dies.  Call it 
a ghost, an angel, spiritual energy...life goes on.

* What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
 
  My quiet demeanor goes totally out the window when I attend a U2 
concert or an Ohio State football game!  Also, people are surprised 
that I've recently started taking fencing lessons.

 * Provide the etymology of your signature/handle/email address. In 
 other words, how and why did you choose the name you use on the 
 HPfGU lists.

  When I first got internet access I chose the name NeonSister, from 
a song by Thomas Dolby.  The first Yahoo group I joined was a 
greyhound adoption forum, so I made my user name neon_grey.
  
 * Whose signature/handle/email address on the HPfGU boards {a} 
 would 
 you like to steal or {b} intrigues you?
  
  I don't want to steal any names, but I like Constance Vigilance - 
very clever!

 * Describe your ultimate Halloween costume.

   Someday I want to wear an elaborate, sexy mermaid costume!

 * If you lived in the Potterverse, who would you be, and what 
 would 
 you do for a living?

   I would have my own massage therapy clinic in Hogsmeade.  
Hogwart's students and faculty get a discount (except Remus Lupin - 
his are free! hee hee...)

  
 * What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?

   I'll know it when I see it.
 
 * What shape would a boggart take, if you chance upon one?
      
     A loved one being hurt
  
 * What happy memory will you rely upon, if you are to conjure up a 
 Patronus?

   Hearing total strangers cheering "You're doing great!" and "Almost 
there!" at me when I ran (and finished!) the New Orleans Mardi Gras 
Marathon last winter. :-)
  
 * What form might your Patronus take?

   A greyhound
  
 * What might your animagus form be? 

   I'd like to be a dolphin, but I'd have to be near water all the 
time for that to be useful.  Probably a dog or a bird.  
 
 * What basically harmless things scared you as a child (for 
 example, 
 a certain toy or household item)? [Question originally posted by

  A brief recap: Grandma's fur coat, the sweeper, Mr. Clean.
  
 * What's your scariest moment from a film or television show? Or, 
 tell us which horror movie is your all-time favourite, and why. 
 ["Scariest"
> > question originally posted by June]

   In "Psycho" when we *really* see Mrs. Bates...creepy!  Also, 
several scenes in "Signs" but especially when Mel Gibson is in the 
cornfield at night hunting around with a flashlight, and we glimpse 
an alien foot disappearing down a corn row.
