2016: Meet ArianaBlack

[ArianaBlack]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey y’all! I was going to start this introduction with a lame knock-knock joke, but I forgot the punchline *mellow* … SO MOVING ON. My name is Ariana, but if you want you can call me ‘Ari’ or ‘YOU’ or honestly I’d just be honored if you called me at all.

I joined SS back in 2010, when I first finished the Harry Potter books and NEEDED something more. I soon got sucked in by the site-wide RPGs, where I spend most of my time now. Currently I play the new Care of Magical Creatures Professor in the Hogwarts RPG, but departing from the Gryffindor banner under my username was very difficult on my heart. Aside from my new Professor I’ve also had the opportunity to play as a Gryffindor Prefect turned Head Boy and I’ve also got a Shopkeeper in Diagon Alley come play with us.

When I’m not on SS trying to catch up with owed replies, I’m either in class, studying, or binge watching television shows. Who needs sleep, amiright!? I like seeing vegetarian options at restaurants, stopping the microwave before time runs out, and long walks on the beach.

So, uh, I’m gonna hand the mic over to you now. Ask me IF YOU DARE

AY. Hello younger sibling of Erik

1. Er. It's really not balanced at all... But time management is a good friend of mine and I have five million planners and tons of sticky notes. I try to set aside time for each thing whether that's studying, RPing, hanging out with friends, participating in other parts of the site, etc. Y'know how it is
2. Saved By The Bell is A+, LOST is another fave, and I just recently started House MD!
3. I LIKE THIS QUESTION A LOT. It's definitely different because I could relate to my student charrie a lot more. But I really like getting to take on a different role and it's been super fun so far seeing a different aspect of the RP! Especially because my charries are so different, the challenge makes things EXCITING
4. I DO. I have two younger siblings
5. Okay i'm really bad with picking favorite songs, but Panic! At the Disco, Coldplay, Fallout Boy, and NSync will probably have one up in my top five if I had a top five.
6. Oooh Doctor Who, Sherlock, Fifth Harmony, BUT Harry Potter is always the number one let's be real

LISSY HAI.

1. TEA FOR SURE I like both but TEA ALWAYS
2. I have a German Shepherd! But she's a "family pet" so she's not here at school with me
3. Okay I'm the queen of unpopular opinions for this one apparently, but my favorite movie is Goblet of Fire. And my favorite book is... always changing but I'm gonna go with Deathly Hallows.

HI!

I study Biochemistry as my major focus, but I'm also getting a minor in Spanish!
As for being put on school staff here on SS, I just recently joined the team in December, however, it really has no correlation to how long a member has been around. It's all about participation around the site and having a positive attitude!

[nicole black]

Hi, I just met you, and this is ... kinda crazy? But.. Um.. Here's my number... So call me, maybe?

[kayquilz]

um so...Ariana I...don't know how to ask this but...

What's your favorite Lost episode? without spoilers.

[itsjustjesse]

*looks at your life hack one*
I do that with chocolate chip cookies - sea salt though and it makes the chocolate so much more amazing

1. What made you want to go into biochemistry?
2. Is there a type of career in biochem that you want to go into?
3. favorite book series (save for Harry Potter)?
4. favorite (ss friendly) meme?

I LOVED WORKING WITH YOU BY THE WAY. BECAUSE YOU ARE AMAZINGLY POSITIVE AND FUN AND GOSH, ...i dont know why i whited this out? maybe its like a super secret message that everyone can just tell is there? so a non-secret message?

OMG. I'm going to give you my top three in no particular order because I can't choose just one... is that allowed? The first one is super sad, but SO good. And unpopular opinion, but season 5 is literally one of my FAVES.

Through the Looking Glass- Season 3 Episode 22-23
LaFleur- Season 5 Episode 8
Ab Aeterno- Season 6 Episode 9

What. Chocolate with sea salt?? *writes this one down ahem*

1. Well I LOVE biology, but my dad thinks biochemistry will open up more doors... And biochem requires you to take Calculus 2 and it's been one of my favorite classes so far so that too!
2. Hmm I'm not quite sure yet... So far I'm leaning towards something on the medical side of things. But there's still some time before I've got to know for sure at least that's what they tell me
3. The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket don't judge me
4. OH. I love the goofy comic sans Valentine's Day cards, does that count?
5. I'm not a fan of superhero movies, or action movies in general ooops

You're the beesknees, okay

SO YOU'RE BACK

1. That's not a question
2. No because YOU NEVER TOLD ME
3. I LOVE JIF Peanut Butter for your information
4. Okay I need to find whoever started this precious cinnamon roll business and give them a talking to because I am not a precious cinnamon roll. I am deadly. This can't be my legacy. So I plead the fifth.
5. If I had to describe it in SS smilies: a combo of &

[RandomRaven]

and.... MORE QUESTIONS! *rubs hand*

1. What are you gonna do when you listen to your favorite song in public? let's say that you're wandering around groceries store with the trolley/cart (I dunno what do you call it) and then suddenly they played your favorite song.

2. Do you like karaoke? If yes, mention five songs that you always sing there.

3. Do you like noodles? Which one do you like most? Noodles or Pizza?

4. I just noticed that Erik said this

Quote:

Did you know i was Steph's brother?

Does it mean that he is NOT Steph's brother anymore?

5. Alright, which one do you choose: Chocolate milk, coffee, or tea?

6. what is your favorite fruit?

7. When will Zander realize that Ava had a crush on him?

8. Why do you like Ava? (because I saw you wrote about her in warm fuzzy thread kind of thing)

[Nymphadoraliz]

MOAR

At the moment I'm thinking of going to graduate school after so maybe something in the medical field? But there's still a few years before that comes up, so I'm not entirely sure on any specific ideas yet!

1. I can probably be spotted screaming "THIS IS MY JAM" following up with funky dance moves and horribly pitchy singing so that people KNOW i'm invested
2. Oh I do like karaoke though I don't ever do it often enough to have a top five. But disney songs, boybands, and High School musical ALWAYS
3. I do like noodles! PIZZA is the winner though, I think
4.
5. TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
6. Mango? Grapefruit? Raspberries? I can't choose a favorite when they're all so good
7. HAHAH Zander is an idiot... So probably never. He's oblivious when it comes to the female population, unfortunately. or maybe just oblivious in general xD
8. she's so FUN I just love that she's full of life and gryffindor to the cooooooore. It's lovely getting to follow her around on her many adventures through the castle xD
9. I wish I had an interesting answer for this one but all I eat is spinach. So it's definitely spinach.

Hogwarts I REALLY want to go to Greece some day! Mostly because I love the food, but it just looks like a magical country

[Daemon]

GREECE. The land of the feta cheese. AKA, where I am. You should totally come to Greece while I'm still here (aka until October) so we can HANG.

Also, it's totally not as magical as people say BUT in Greece's defense, it has some AMAZING hidden gems that DO make it kind of magical. So. I dunno what my conclusion is here. I live in Athens and it's 4 million people cramped into a very small space so we could use a little more magic here and a little less angry taxi drivers.

QUESTIONS:
- Are you Ariana Grande?
- Do you watch Orphan Black? (if the answer here is no, then WHY ON EARTH DO YOU NOT WATCH ORPHAN BLACK?)
- As a member of the ArianaBlack fan club, what would you like your fans to call themselves?
- How do you manage your time between uni (biochem, if my spying was correct?) and SS? Serious question here, I need to know people's secrets.
- And finally, when good things are happening, are you a bum wiggler or a bouncer kinda gal?

[lumos_13]

HELLO!

I'm far too lazy to go through and read all the questions that have already been posted, so I apologize if I repeat any questions. (I've just finished 5 hours worth of homework. Kill me now.)

1. Who are your favorite bands/musicians/artists/
2. What is your favorite TV show?
3. Do you love Snape, absolutely despise Snape, or are you very confused about where you stand in regards to how you feel about Snape?
4. Did you hate Harry's kids names? (There is only one correct answer to this question, btw)
5. Do you have any pets?
6. What is your least favorite food?

OMG YES. Honestly I'm about ready to kick school to the side and apparate right over. Also ahem. I'm about to go pester you in VMs because I wanna hear about your Greek adventures thus far. Thank.

1. HOW DID YOU KNOW!? My cover has been blown. This is not a drill.
2. Weeeeeeeell..... It's on my list? I watch too much TV but this is a show I need to start
3. Actually the club's main focus is SS User Daemon and we call ourselves "Danimites", I think your sources are a bit faulty. We should get that checked out mhm.
4. I don't sleep. That is the actual secret. My SS activity peaks around 11 pm - 3 am and that's generally when my brain has had enough science stuffed into it for the day.
5. OH. I am very much both a bum wiggler and a bouncer kinda gal. I take my enthusiasm very seriously. It's my duty
