ADMIN: More Halloween Fun!

[aeshamali]

I lurk here on OT chatter, but I'll answer this. :)

 
> * Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
   I do believe in ghosts. I don't have any good, logical arguement 
for this, I just do. I feel like there have been too many people who 
have had ghostly encounters, and there are just too many unexplained 
things in this world to rule out ghosts.
  
> * What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
   For some reason, the fact that I am an American, born and raised 
in Oregon. There was a time (when I was working as well as going to 
school, instead of just school) that at least once every couple weeks 
someone would ask me if I was Hawaiian, or polynesian, or Native 
American, Samoan... I once had a guy ask me how long I had been in 
the United States, and he went on to say that it's probably a big 
change from the Islands. LOL.

   I can't take credit for the creativity, that will have to go to my 
mom... the name I use, Aesha or AeshaMali, is my first name and part 
of one of my middle names.

> * Whose signature/handle/email address on the HPfGU boards {a} 
>would you like to steal or {b} intrigues you?
   Hmmm... I'm not sure. I'll have to take another look and get back 
to you.

> * Describe your ultimate Halloween costume.
   I would love to do some very intricate costume, like cleopatra or 
something. When I was little, it was things like a witch, cat or 
bunny (I think I spent many years as a cat), I've been "Aphrodite" 
(Translation: a couple white sheets and a head wreath), and an angel. 
But if I was Cleo, I could have some ornate head dress, arm bands, 
bracelets, make up, shoes, etc.,etc...

> * If you lived in the Potterverse, who would you be, and what would 
> you do for a living?
   If I lived in the Potterverse, I would work in the Department of 
Mysteries. I'm very curious what's up there.

> * What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?
   Me with a guitar or piano, performing.

> * What shape would a boggart take, if you chance upon one?
   My boggart would be the same as Molly's (different people, of 
course!).

> * What happy memory will you rely upon, if you are to conjure up a 
> Patronus?
   Wow, that's a toughie. There'd be a lot to choose from with my 
mom; or when I was installed as the state leader of a youth group.
  
> * What form might your Patronus take?
   A snow leopard.

> * What might your animagus form be?
   A phoenix, of course. ;)

> * What basically harmless things scared you as a child (for 
example, a certain toy or household item)? [Question originally

   Well, I don't know if any UK members will remember this show... 
when I was little, there was a show called Diff'rent Strokes on TV. 
In the opening credits, the girl (I don't rememer her name) came out 
of the bathroom with her hair dyed green after her adopted brothers 
played a prank on her. I don't know why, but I was so scared at that- 
I just can't figure it out. Anyway, I ran out of the room every time.

   I think the scariest moment from a tv show is from Unsolved 
Mysteries, when they showed a special on ghosts. Now it may not scare 
me as much, but when I saw it in 7th grade it scared the crud out of 
me. My fav scary movies are Scream trilogy (well, that's a lie- I 
hated part 2) and Halloween (though it makes me mad, hehe).
