Not Engaged Yet

Follow up to intro post-and-run

Hey everyone,

i wrote my intro a while back now, and lots of lovely people replied, but our interent died and it has taken me ages to get it sorted again.

I thought I ought to follow up and answer these crucial questions that were posed.

How do you like your mac and cheese?
Love mac and cheese. Baked, with crispy bacon, slow roast tomatoes and parmesan on top.

What is your opinion on mashed potatoes?
Mashed potatoes are awesome, as are roasted, fried and baked potatoes. But boiled potatoes are the most boring food known to man.

Do you have furbabies?
Yes, a cat, Sunshine. And my two cats at my parents' house in NZ, Jimmy and Nancy.

How do you feel about Harry Potter?
I am ambivalent about Harry himself (like Frodo, Harry suffers from boring-everyman-hero-syndrome) but adore Ron. I cried like a baby at "Here Lies Dobby...".

Does the word "TARDIS" mean anything to you? 
Doctor Who! What is the general consensus on the New Doctor? Too young? Perfect?

    Heh, I will defintiely provide photos when I get home from work.

    Twilight.... to be honest I am not pro-Twilight. I have not got into it at all - but do not judge those who do, as I count several Twilight fans among my dearest friends. I have watched the first film, but it was a version dubbed into Spanish while on an overnight bus in Mexcio, so I admit I probably did not give ti its best shot.

    Oooh, I so disagree with this.  Harry is my favorite character in the series.  I don't think he's boring at all.

    Glad you seem to like the series, though.

    Scooter, Ron is my favourite too.

    Please do post pictures of pets.

    I do find Ron to be more interesting that Harry as well, he has an awful time dealing with things and it really adds well to the series.  Hermione was always my favorite because she was nerdy and awkward looking and a total school girl...until they made the movies and she's not awkward nerdy at all.  She was one of my childhood idles, because I have always been awkward nerdy *hrumph*

    Hermione is one of J.K. Rowling's favorties as well.  I just read this the other day and thought it was wonderful.  Also, the part about Ron being "so easy to love" is something I've been saying for years.  Ron is great, but you don't have to probe to understand him:

    I've always thought Draco Malfoy was one of the most interesting characters, especially in the later books. Fred and George are my favorite side characters, Ireally wish they had played a larger role in the movie. Hermione is my favorite character, in the books and the movie. 

    Oh and hi OP!

    If we're talking just about "interesting" characters, I think Snape has to top the list.  He's so complex and yet so simple at the same time.  On favorites, though, perhaps it makes me unoriginal but Harry has always been mine.  I see a lot of myself in him, so that may be why.  Next in line for me is probably Sirius.

    I have only seen one season with the new Doctor. At first, I didn't like him. He's growing on me... but I can't help but miss David Tennant. Also, I feel like Amy Pond does all of the world-saving (at least in that season), and the Doctor has lost some of his edge.

    I haven't seen any of the new season yet, please don't spoil it for me!
