Great! A Halloween party!

My temper?  Ususally I am pretty easygoing but once in a while it
flares up!

It's just my Yahoo email handle.  I made it out of my first name and
parts of my other names.  I had to try a few combinations before I
found one Yahoo said was available.

{b}: Amanita Muscaria.  At first I just thought it was a really cool
name, then I found out it was actually a mind-altering
plant/fungus/mushroom (dang -- I forget what exactly)!

Hey! Dicentra is a plant, too? (a post by Dicentra is a post I'm
guaranteed to read)

It probably sounds boring here, but -- a really good witch.  One who
looks powerful and wise, not the silly kind.

That's hard to say.  Most likely, I'd be a Muggle (see answer to first
question), but I'd really like to be a witch who raises magical plants.

I don't know, because I think if I actually looked, I'd be surprised.

One like Molly's.

The first time I won a prize in an art show (I'm not all *that* good,
though -- there were a lot of prizes).

Can it be a person?  My husband.

A crow.  But I don't eat roadkill!

Sink drains, actually.  I used to dream about them.

Well, my all-time favorite is "The Night of the Living Dead."  You
start out snickering at the fakey zombies, and end up wanting to board
up all the windows.  Heard they're planning a remake of one of those
(Dawn of the Dead?)  ::snort::  Yeah, right.

7 Dragons put me in Hufflepuff.
I couldn't get into Prof. MacFusty's either -- I'll try again later.
Personally, I think I'm a bit lazy for Hufflepuff -- I would have
thought Ravenclaw for me...

Gah, I gotta go -- I'll try this again later, too...

Thanks to OWL TREAT, and the orange color on the site is really cool!
