 Chris' Marzipan Teacake: Blackened
I am very happy to introduce this weeks MotW:
Blackened
Chris is in Navy and Tori is in Teal
Ok, so want to start the interview now while we're both on, and we can continue at a later date/time?
yep, that sounds good
Okay, so, whats your screen name on SS and what do you go by IC and OOC?
So my screen name is Blackened and I go by the name of Chris, on and off screen ~though that's obviously not my RL name. Xp And... I play a charrie named Evan in the school RPG. That was the question, right? Right...
Yeah, that was the question *giggles*. How did you come across our wonderful SS Chris?
Ah yes.. well, I was browsing through Mugglenet at the time and came across an interview with James and Oliver Phelps, which I of course wanted to read. The link took me to SS and practically left me there. I've been coming on practically daily ever since. =D
So your hooked?
Definitely =]
Join the club :]
teehee *clings*
So what about the site (in particular) keeps you coming back?
The fact that it is a 100% user-friendly site. In fact, I think possibly the friendliest one in all my net experience =D It's almost impossible to resist coming back to such a community, where I've made some awesome friendships, which I know won't be short term ones. Plus, SS has a little bit of everything, it copes with every one's taste, I think. It's somewhat of a second home for me ^.^
W00t! Thats another point for SS!
oh yesh! SS rockerz =)
So going back to IC are you a "heavy" RPer in the school RPG? Do you know whats going on and such?
Well, I do know the ongoings, though I haven't been able to RP 'heavily' this term, with it being my final year as a highschool student and such *blinks*
What house is IC-Chris in?
Ravenclaw - through and through. =]
Ah, another Ravie. Good to know. You mentioned your in your final year - what are you studying?
To be honest, a little bit of anything. I've been in a Mathematics-Computer Science Bilingual class, and dealt with pretty much every subject there is. Right now I have to study about 6 of them for my finals, though. Then i'll be a free girl, able to focus on the area which attracts me most.
Which is?
International Relations, though not exclusively.
Anything in particular you are aiming to be when you have your grades and degrees
Hmm... rather a toughie. If I'd known to answer it before, the trouble it would have saved me... Xp But I'll try my best, nonetheless. I'd say being an ambassador has always been something I thought of. And naturally, I don't reckon I'll ever give up my dream of being a writer, no matter how idealistic that makes me.
Better to dream than just put up with what you have.. Or so my mum tells me .
Your mum's unto something
I like to think so xD
Ok, so you play Chris in the School RPG. What else do you do around the site?
Teehee, no, I play Chris everywhere but in RPG's. Xp My charrie's name is Evan *pounces*
gah. *so knew that* Ok, so my memory is like a seive... Really, where else do you hang out?
Well, my favourite spots on SS have to be Zonko's and the RP forums. When I first joined, I used to hang out in the Common Rooms incredibly much. *spazzes* I still come as often as I can, but with being busy and all, it's rather hard to keep up with the RP's. I'm always in the Language forums if someone wants to find me, and of course, I spend a hugeload of time in the Sirius Black FC.
w00t! RP forums rock *bad pun* . Are you a Language forum mod and why the SBFC? Are you a devoted member?
baha, yesh they do rock! And Yes, I'm a Language mod and I love chatting with the people there and helping them out, in my own language, if need be. As to the FC, I defo am a devoted member, and also a SBfc pressie. =] *luffs on all the people there*
OOO what is your own language? *interested*
My first language is Romanian =]
Fancy saying something about yourself in Romanian? (With a translation so the rest of us can understand?)
Baha, .. *thinks of something*
Boemii o fac mai bine. <--- Bohemians do it better.
^ indirectly abt myself, but yesh, lmao, all I could think of
*giggles* Nice language.
*giggles along* Thanks
So, a little news fairy *cough*Lissy*cough* told me that you can speak more than just Romanian and English... Can to explain and indulge us in details?
lol *pokes Lissy* Well, yesh, I'm a sucker for learning new languages. I can also speak fluent Spanish and French, and can manage Italian, too. And when I was younger and carefree, I could muster a phrase or two in Elvish, lmao. =P
Ooh. Nice. Do you go into alot of the language forums then? More than the Romanian one?
I try... for the moment, time doesn't really allow it. But once I'm on holiday... *shifty*
*giggles* Sounds like your going to have fun then ;-]
lmao, I plan on it =D
Ah, a pressie are you. Would you like to spread some SBFC love and joy at winning the WiYM?
I don't want to gloat about our victory... I realize all the FC's wanted to win, and some have tried really hard. But when you are devoted and determined, I think it shows. There are some uniquely great people in the SBfc, many of whom have become good friends of mine. And I just hope we've made it quite clear that Sirius is still loved. Quite a lot, actually. =]
Oh, I think you somehow managed that ;-P heh.
Lets see, thats school RPG, SBFC, School. So, are you involved in any other Fan Clubs?
Actually, no. I thought about it when they were first started, and mused over applying for more officer positions, even. But I came to the conclusion that the less you are in, the more dedicated you can be to the ones you joined. So just the SBfc for me. =]
That makes sense, I'm officers for five and in more than that. So I totally agree with that.
yey! Xp
My mind is going blank now.... Oh! I know. Whats your favourite HP Book, and film?
*shnuggles* Well, not much of a surprise here, I guess. My fave HP bo is Goblet of Fire. It was the one which truly made me fall in with the entire phenomenon. HBP comes second, I'm thinking.
And movie-related, a definite nod towards the GoF movie. I have a good feeling about the OOTP one, though. Maybe my ranking will change after it comes out, hopefully.
I would of thought POA for you... since its based around your beloved Sirius, but GoF comes top of my movie and book H.P. Lists.
teehee, I like PoA, too. Just not as much =)
Hehe. Fair dos. So apart from Sirius (;-P) Who is your favourite character?
I've always had a soft spot for Ron *beams* and one of the best charries in the whole series has to be Voldemort. So yep, they'd be my next picks
No females? *pouts*
haha ~ well, I'm in no way biased ~ I just don't particularly like any of the female charries in there. I do enjoy the way Bellatrix is written, however. And I can't say I don't like Hermione, she has some very valuable traits. *wonders if she's made her point* Xp
*giggles* I was only joking Chris.
Dengit.
*grins* but nice point anyway.
yeyness Xd
So what about the actors and actresses? Whose your favourite?
*ponders* Prolly my fave would be Rupert Grint, cause I relish the way he and his charrie relate to one another. Also, I Ralph Fiennes *squee* Miranda Richardson, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman. And Gary Oldman, of course ;]
Hehe. You sound so much like me, in the way that you can't decide one one charrie. Love it.
that's neat =]
Ok, so you've said what your favourite HP book and film is, but what about outside that. What's your favourite book(s) and film(s)?
My fave book is probably ‘A Fine and Private Place’ by Peter Beagle. I find it rather hard to pick a favourite as far as books, since I reading and different genres, but this one has managed to change my mind. I also Saul Bellow and Iris Murdoch’s works, as well as a lot of the classics. And the LOTR series, undoubtedly.
As to movies, I like those with substance, those who make one contemplate and relish life at the same time. My top movie would be ‘Dead Poets’ Society’, and other favourites include ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’, ‘Braveheart’, ‘The Virgin Suicides’, ‘Song For a Raggy Boy’.
BRAVEHEARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT *grins* Yay!
Nice choice!
teehee thankees
=] No Problem darlin.
=D
Ok, now.... *Tries to think of anything elsE*
*don't look at me* I'm as blank Xp
If you could add to or change anything in SS, what would it be?
I don't think I'd be entitled to talk about changing anything - it's purely awesome as it is, and I cannot think of a feature or similar that I do not enjoy. As for adding, hmm, I'd include more interactives. Dunno if it's the WIYM aftermath, but I know for a fact that -for instance- more competitions like that would be as fun for many other members as it has certainly been for me.
Ace. Ok, now I really am running out of things to ask.
goodie..maybe we can take a break, then? -I should really be going- and my mind is paper blank right now o_O
Sure. We can continue at a later date
[Okies so! Typical, but we only had a few questions left.]
Okies sooooo ONLY TWO questions left! *dies* Its Three. I can't count...
lol
MotW, Emma, asked: If you had the ability to write the last chapters of the last book for JK (and you have to choose to either make him live but he will be suffering or make him die) what would you do? And you have to think the same way JK does, so suffering will really be suffering, and he will have lots of his loved ones die and such. - Thats tough!
*tries to think like JK* I would personally make him live. We have seen Harry struggling to go on whereas all his loved ones died, leaving him alone to suffer. After the last battle, death would probably seem the best option for him – he would at last find peace and be reunited with his lost ones.
But I think the lesson JK is trying to teach us is that life must carry on always, despite all hardships. The hardest part is letting go of those one loves, but living onwards is the truly heroic act.
*impressed* Nice answer!
*blushblush* thanx =]
Okies, and do you have a question for next week's MotW
Yesh, if they could have any of the SS forums named after them, which would it be and why?
Nice. Completly original too. *thumbs up*
baha, completely random, but glad u like it =D
Now. Its TIME. *drum roll* If you could be a dessert, what would you be and why!
Eep, the tasty question =D Well, since I’m in love with marzipan, I’d prolly be a Marzipan Teacake. Tis a yummy disk of coconut and toffee mixed together. Good and light at the same time. *could use one right now =P*
Hmmmm. Sounds Wonderful. *Wants one now*
*gives you one*
Send me one in bubbleswrap? *wonders if it would last*
lmao I'll try =P
lol! Ok so thats us finished unless you can think of anything that I haven't mentioned.
Aah no, I've babbled enough as it is =P *huggles*
*giggles* Well, in that case. Thank you Chris I've enjoyed getting to know you.
Thanx for the opportunity. I luffed being interviewed by you =)
*Grins* Loved learning about you! XxX
*shnuggles* <33
