Hey guys! I’m one of the two awesome mods you get to meet in December!
So for those of you who do not know me yet, my name is Chris, which is pretty ordinary isn’t it? Shame it couldn’t be something crazy like…Spurlock. *shrugs* Anyways…what have I done around here? Well we shall start at the beginning. Yep! I joined SS in September of 2008, my sophomore year of High School after coming across it while looking for Harry Potter movie info and have been active since. This was my first RPG site and I was very excited to get into the thick of things and interact with all the other HP fans out there.
I was lucky enough to join the site during a School RPG sorting and was sorted into Gryffindor. I rped my first character two terms and then was asked to be prefect. After Prefecting for 3 consecutive terms I was asked to be Head Boy for the School. After that character I had another and am now on my third. I also help out with the coding of the School RPG yearbook and have played Quidditch around 4 terms. Shortly being sorted into the school RPGI eagerly joined the Ministry of Magic RPG and was hired into the Dept. of Magical Transportation, was then promoted to Division Head and finally to Department Head, a position I still hold today.
Outside of the RPGs I have been very active in the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes Games and Fan Club forums. I frequented both forums a lot and played all of the games and became the President or an officer of many fan clubs. In July 2011 I was asked to be a mod for both of these sections and I still happily help watch over these two spots.
Outside of SS I am a first year University student studying Secondary Education English/Literature and am also a History nerd. I love watching some television shows and a huge fan of movies. I jam out a lot to my Ipod while running or working on homework. I wait tables while not at school to help get that money to see the movies I love so much! Now I haven’t told EVERYTHING about myself so…
…away my dear friends! Quote:
Ask me a question to get to know me better! (questions about the site or your sorting or posts don't belong here, those should be asked in the Questions and Answers thread)
Spam will be deleted, as will any non question posts, or posts that indicate you haven't read this first post.

Hmmm....considering there was a time machine....I would probably pick the 1950's and 1960's here in the USA. I love movies like Catch Me if You Can where Panem Airlines was big, diners and the beatles. Everyone dressed really cool too. *nods* Quote:

Well..here's zee question. *drumroll* Do you love me?
O__O Creepy.. Who just typed that?
Aww.Sorry about that..So seriously. Here's your question. *ish getting serious*
Have you done something in the past that you highly regret? If so, why? xD  TAZZZZZZZZ!!!
I loooove Mint Chocolate chip ice cream though,  Its really good plus its GREEN!
Hmmm....I can't say bickering back and forth with my sister cause thats fun for the both of us....I regret not doing well in Math during high school. I really dislike my math class in Uni because of it. :/ Quote:

What career opportunities are there in that field as I'm not familiar with it, Bio student here. Bio...yuck! xDD
Well I am going to school to be an English High School teacher. *nods* And with my degree you can teach Middle school and high school but if I go to get my doctorate I could teach Univeristy. If I take a few extra classes I could even go into school administration if I wanted to. Quote:

All hail fellow mint chocolate chip lover
Well...since I don't know what to ask...I will go with another food...favorite type of pizza? It does, but we try out best not to make that so all the time.
Pizza is SOOOO good.  My favorite though would have to be pepperoni and sausage. *nods* Quote:

My mother and father had me and my sister who is two years younger than me.
Then when I was 6 my parents got a divorce and both remarried BOTH having 2 more girls.
So in conclusion I have....*drumroll*....5 sisters!  2 of them are twins! Quote:

Thanks, I'm glad someone likes them.
Roro, are you seriously trying to start a battle in my head with all my charries? Well I've obviously like them all but I think that my favorite all around was Chris Potter, my first charrie, mainly because he was my first and he achived so much. haha
But I loved being able to play a mean guy, Riley, and the innocent Muggleborn August. And don't even get me started on playing the evil cultist Armen!  Yes, yes I was.  Did I succeed?
I always thought Chris Potter was a lot like you.  But yesh everybody loves Armen! *coughnotcough*
If you were a teacher at Hogwarts, which subject would you teach?

How long did it take you to get 10 posts? I am too busy listening to the books on CD, to post. Listened 25 times now to the CD's. Bought myself an early and expensive Christmas gift, of the British version of the books on CD.
Best wishes.

Well you see I've always just enjoyed it, mainly because my grandpa and dad would always watch the history channel on television. Some ways I think would be able to help you possibly enjoy it a bit more would be to try and find movies that are BASED on historic events first. These movies like Titanic, the Patriot and Gladiator are not exactly word for word historic but they put you in the right mind set and allow you to relate things you learn in your history classes.

I would eventually die, right?  But if not I would spring into action and try my best to find my way off the island by either making it off myself or trying to get someone's attention. Quote:

I like lots of different types of food: pasta, hamburgers & hot dogs, sandwiches, mac&cheese, and LOTS OF OTHER THINGS.
My favorite fruit would probably have to be grapes though. Quote:

The one magical object I would want from the magical world would be a wand for all the things you could do with it. I could learn magic to help make mine and other's lives better or to have some fun.

If you were a teacher at Hogwarts, which subject would you teach?  Yes. xD
Awww...really? Well thanks!  And yes we all DO!
Hmmm....If I personally were able to teach at Hogwarts I would probably teach Charms because there are so many different practical spells you could learn in there to help out with your everyday life that I would LOVE to learn. Quote:
Originally Posted by Sailorlorelei alright so what is your absolute favorite part about being an Auror? and why did you pick being an Auror in the first place? (besides getting all the crazy cases of course) Actually...I am not an Auror. Auror is just the name we MODS are given onsite.  But I enjoy being a mod because I get to help run and manage the parts of the site that I love so much. Quote:
Originally Posted by Hermione Lily Potter What is your favorite thing about this site and why? Hmmmm....after being asked this question through here and then some interviews on other parts of the site I would have to stick with my same old answer, the AMAZING people I've met in my 3 years on site. Everyone has been so nice and fun to be around. Hopefully you will soon see what I mean! Quote:

Best wishes. Hello there.
Actually it took me one night. I was so excited to be on a site like this one that I went all out and posted like crazy that night. You really should try to get into it and give it a shot, SS is really fun. |

I only like that one really because I make it work for sooo many situations of my own. haha. Anytime anyone does anything to affect my daily routine, takes the last pop-tart, or other things I use it. (With friends not everyone.  )
And my favorite work by him would have to be Hamlet or Othello. |

Okay. I know you've been reading The Hunger Games, which OBVIOUSLY is my current obsession. It's crippling, actually.
Anyway, how far are you? Finish the second or third books yet? C'mon c'mon! I must know all of your thoughts.

Well I am finished with the second book, Catching Fire and as soon as I finish finals today, I will download the third book on my Kindle; probably tonight.
And after reading the second one I am SOOO SHOCKED! I don't even know what will happen in the third one.  But, I've gotten so many of my friends hooked on the series its awesome.

Awesome question because the Fan Clubs are absolutely EPIC and everyone should go there! *shamelessly promotes*
Well I really like the games but the events are my favorite. I love when fan clubs and interact and get memebers to join up all the clubs. Also the clubs help build little families of fans that I just really enjoy talking with. Quote:

OHOH question - what has been your favorite, non-history, university class so far? And why? OOOOH! Well I hope your final went well.
They've gone pretty well so far. I technically have one more on Monday but it's a 'Critical Thinking' exam that I can't study for.  Yeah my Professor is crazy. But as soon as I go home after that exam I am cracking open Mockingjay!
So far....*eyes VERY short list* um I really liked my Speech/Communications class. It helped me prepare to become a teacher later and speak infront of a class more comfortably. Quote:

Hmmm....that's a toughie but I would have to say that I would prefer the 'OMG' one. 'Meh Meh' isn't that great but I like the one 'Meh'. Quote:
