Hello

I have, and always will be, a soccer fan. I started playing when I was five and was on competative teams all the way through college where I started showing signs of arthritis in my knees and could no longer play at that level. I still kick the ball around with friends and will wake up at ridiculous hours to watch international matches. Staying awake for the World Cup matches was intense...3 am or 4 am kick off. I was a zombie at work, but they all forgave me since they know that there is no way I would miss a match

*squints* hey now, no need to get all up in my face with the light. I have sensitive eyes you know. *eyes Selina* Well...THAT is an encouraging thought...

my favorite yellow fruit would be...

BANANA SLUG!

What? It has a fruit in the name so it counts Erm...pineapple I guess I actually really do not enjoy bananas just banana slugs!

I already sort of answered this one indirectly, but I will go into a little more detail and declare my love to the world!!

My favorite character is Severus Snape. From the first book, he was the character that you loved to hate and could never figure out. I love complex characters and ones that do not fit a cookie cutter mold. Snape proved to be one of those characters time and time again, leaving it until the last minute for you to get confirmation on what you may, or may not have been suspecting the entire time. He is constantly contradictory but strangely always the same, sophisticated but grotesque, unconventionally beautiful, different, and never disappointing although suffers quite a few disappointments - among other things.

My love for the character only intensified when the brilliant Alan Rickman was casted. This signaled to me even more that the character was deep and one to keep an eye on.
