YES I would. I would make it a dark blue, like midnight/navy... so there would still be calm and cool light, but not the unbearable ridiculous light and heat that I am suffering through right now. Australian summers are not fun.
Would you? Quote:

Anyway, my question is, you say you love your job, but what is it you do? OOF! It has been quite a while indeed.
I am a Paediatric focused Registered Nurse, and am also currently studying doing some more extended specialty training. Awesome job. Very challenging and extremely difficult at times, but also amazing and fun. Quote:

And I'm curious to know, what is it about Canada that you like? Hahaha! I'm not so sure about that but thank you for saying it.
I have visited a couple of times now and just love it. I have loved ice hockey for a long long time, and have always liked cold weather and been facinated by snow. So when I went the first time it just clicked that it was a place I really liked being. That and the people can be quite similar to Aussies in humour and are laid back-ish. I think the fact that I also have some really great friends there too adds to it. I want to go and spend some time in Vancouver and Montreal next. I also REALLY want to go to New Zealand. Quote:

I don't know really, it seems to have been not that long but it has. I joined in 2002... so there you go, 10 years later this year. Pretty cool though huh? I think my member number is 23 from memory, though it was originally 81. I joined when I first started getting into HP and just really liked the forums and the people that were here. Of course it has just exploded exponentially in size since then, but SS has still retained that original sense of community and fun.
What do you love about it? Quote:

Iiiiiiiii... don't think I have a favourite chord? Hehe. But I am researching and shopping for my 5th guitar right now. Quote:

My favourite genres to listen to and play are indie rock, hard rock and metal, but I like bits of most everything. Metal, to classical, electro to opera. I'm just not really into country at all, or a lot of rap - especially the newer rap. Old rap is much better in my opinion.

What do you love about it?
Me? *pointed to myself*
The RPG of course
by the way, have you joined SSRPG, what character did you play and your favorite character?
And.. 10 years.. it's not short time, right? 
how can you divided your time in here and your RL?

I'm now with my second guitar right now. What's your choice of the guitar company?

how can you divided your time in here and your RL? I was a teacher in the school RPG for... 14 terms I think? So quite a few years. I taught Divination and maybe astronomy for a term or two (I'd have to look to be certain), but for the majority I was the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. I was also Gryffindor Head of House for most of that time too which was pretty awesome. I think Lord Borr is my favourite, but there have been a few.
Dividing my time is hard now, so I do a lot less jobs than I use to, but in the past it wasn't too bad. Quote:

I'm now with my second guitar right now. What's your choice of the guitar company? Nice! I have bits and pieces, no two technically from the same company. I am looking at a Gibson acoustic next though, or a Maton (an Australian company). And then a gretsch electric after that. Hopefully both this year. What do you like?

Ah... another nurse. funny thing was that i totally remembered you were an RN right after I clicked submit on that question. I considered going into nursing; but idunno. I still might, actually.
Okay, another question.
Can you send some Australian heat up here? I'm freezing
Um. In all seriousness for questions; who is your favorite HP character in the books? Why? Is this character different from that in the movies? Quote:

But I do remember you as Care of Magical Creature and Gryffie HoH!! And weren't you Groundskeeper or Librarian too? I know when I first joined, Imi was CoMC XD

My favourite character has always been Dumbledore, for lots of different reasons. There are several second favourites though.
I tried to check the school history but my phone internet is being naughty and not doing what I want it too. But no, I was never Groundskeeper or Librarian, but I did have the CoMC hospital in the grounds.

Noooo. The school was... not tiny, but much much smaller. Less forums, less people. In fact, when I first started teaching in the school (2004 i believe) for the first year or two at least, if you told me a persons username I could tell you what house they were in. It helps I have a pretty good memory generally too though.
Nope, I never died in the school, but I was involved in some of those terms.

I see you're in AUSTRALIA!?  And it's summer there?  I feel so silly for not knowing that, I thought it was winter. Then again, that's us here in Europe, sí?
So, an ACTUAL question... You say you're a nerd, so I have a good question...
How do you explain a computer to a muggle?

How do you explain a computer to a muggle?  Yes, and I am envious of your winter-ness.
*suspects this is a trick question*
... but muggles know all about computers, right? It would be a magical person you'd have to explain it to. =D

I also like many types of music, but I mostly listen to songs that aren't very popular or always on the radio XD. I agree, old rap was better. Do you have a job that has to do with music?

I would say... it's like a howler, but it it can talk to you in real time rather than like a recording. And also minus the screaming. And exploding. Probably wouldn't go over too well huh?
