Mostly false. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, so the alarm (radio, NOT buzzer) has been waking me up. When I'm good on sleep, though, I tend to wake up before the alarm goes off.
And I do ship SS/HG, although I have a definite preference for post-Hogwarts stories where they're both adults. Twenty year age difference doesn't bother me so much when the two people involved are 25-45...
The person below me is familiar with The Spoon Theory, and would know what I meant if I said today was a bad day because I had very few spoons. |

YES! I have fibromyalgia, and I know all about spoons. In fact, I spent most of the day today sleeping, trying to replenish my sadly low supply.
I confess I really like HG/SS, and not just when they're older. But then, when I was a teenager, I always had a crush on old actors, not the cute young ones. Heaven only knows how I married a guy the same age as me.
The person below me still doesn't have a cell phone. (I do, now, but it seems like everyone else had one before I did.)

False. I've had one for 3 years, and now it's my primary phone line. When my finacee and I moved, we decided to forego the landline. Just so much easier.
Actually, it was a friend of mine with FM who introduced me to the spoon theory. I've got chronic knee issues and what my mother calls a "low initial spoon count" (i.e. it just takes me more energy to function in this world than it does for a lot of people).
For those who are completely confused right now, go read about The Spoon Theory. Please. Especially if you or someone you know have a chronic illness/pain of any kind. Which is probably nearly all of you - it's far more common than people think. Although it was originally written about lupus, it is easily applied to almost any chronic condition.

It's mostly true. I love the cooking part, but hate the cleaning up after the cooking part. So, the cooking is actually overshadowed by my dread.
I do have a couple of pieced of original artwork on the wall; mine. I watercolor.
I have no idea what the Spoon Theory is, but will read up on it ASAP. And I do love SS/HG. I don't know why. I thought it was sick the first time I heard about it, and the first one about them I read was Hinge of Fate, so you can probably guess how that went.
I was actually one of the first of my friends to have a cell phone, but I now share one with my husband, and rarely use it at all.
The person below me rarely actually uses Emoticons. |

False. I like to think that I use them in moderation, but the truth is that I use them more than most other people I know. I suppose it's just my way of trying to make sure that I don't confuse people or inadvertently insult them.
I do have a piece of framed original art hanging on one of my walls; it's a painting (acrylic, I think) done by a friend of mine who's a very talented artist.
The person below me has written words for a song and then set them to music (or even done it the other way around). |

Um... no. I'm not a lyricist. I have written music, however. *musician*
I'm not a HG/SS fan. Student/Teacher is not a favorite. It is nice to know I'm not alone around here, though.
I've had a cell for probably 5 years or more. We gave up the landline too, finding it much easier to use the cell phone. Besides, Roadrunner is pretty damn fast. 
I can wake up without an alarm clock, however, the alarm tells me what time it is and reminds me that I need to go ahead and get up.
Oh, and I'm not allowed in the kitchen. I love being married to a man who cooks. 
Also, I own four ferrets currently (I've had upwards of 7 at a time). Does that count as an unusual pet?
The person below me thinks that Remus and Sirius were meant to be together always. |

Umm... yeah... well... I'm going to go with false for this one. We now can be a little more certan that Remus isn't gay--although maybe not a 100%. Odd isn't how Sirius be came the Animagus most anatomically compatible with a werewolf. 
Cooking=good; clean up=bad. Right there with you, HP4freek!
Velvet mouse, I love your new avatar. Very nice.
The person below me has intentionally eaten an insect.
One flying into your mouth doesn't count. |

Yuck! No, never.
The only slash relationship that ever made sense to me was Remus/Sirius, but now that Remus is with Tonks, we know that he at least must be bi-. I could see that. Or at least it's likely Sirius had a thing for Remus. It seems odd that James' best friend wouldn't have girls gathered thick around him.
I've written lyrics and music to exactly one song--a Shannara filksong. And I made up lyrics to another song, about the novel my best friend wrote when we were teenagers.
I agree: cooking=good/cleaning=bad.
And I also like VelvetMouse's new avatar. 
The person below me has failed more than one course in college.

False. I never outright failed any... I dropped one before that could happen, and I got a D in another, but never failed any.
And I'm glad my avatar is approved of.
The person below me has a thing for cupcakes. |

Mmmm... cupcakes... Well, maybe. It's just that I don't really like sweets (I'm a salty-kind-of-girl), and so cupcakes offers a great balance (especially the itty-bitty ones), where I get enough sweet stuff to fill a craving, but not enough to make me sick. So, yeah, I think I do have a thing for cupcakes!! Mmm... cupcakes...
Anyway, the person below me doesn't understand the point of diet sodas.  |

False. I'm not a huge fan of cake in general.
I read SS/HG but I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, I find the concept of Snape going for a student unbelievable.
Eeesh, typing takes forever. Afore mentined ram broke my finger!
On that note: The person below me has broken 2 or more bones. (Last count I've broken 5.) |

False to both. I've never broken a bone, although I sprained my ankle in college. And when a regular bottle of soda has upwards of 60 grams of carbohydrates, and a diet soda has nil, a diabetic like me has to take notice of the difference.
The only cupcakes I really love are the Hostess chocolate ones with the little squiggle of white frosting across the top (or a good facsimile, like the Little Debbie ones).
The person below me hopes they keep the name Xena for that dwarf planet out there.

Oh, totally true! And I hope they do name its moon Gabrielle (there's been some talk of it). It's just too funny.
Remus/Sirius? *faints*
Remus/Severus, people. Submit to the OTP! 
The person below me thinks that the HP 7 book will be released on the 7th day of the 7th month of 2007. |

True. Sad, because one of my friends is getting married that day and wanted me to be there, and you know, I might have to be reading instead. I don't do well in social settings so I'm dreading have to go to the wedding anyway, but I doubt 'I need to read book seven, sorry' is a legitimate excuse. I'll have to come up with something better.
The person below me has heard of and eaten 'Uncrustables'. |

Heard of, yes. Eaten, no. Though I must say that they sound rather tasty. I've never liked the bread crusts anyway.
Remus/Severus? Never understood that relationship either. Snape hates the Marauders.
I understand the point of diet drinks, but it's not like I can drink them anyway. I'm allergic to all sugar substitues, and yes, that does include Splenda.
Never broke a bone. *knock on wood*
hp4freak, may I borrow your plot bunny? I seriously need help.
The person below me prefers a jelly/jam flavor other than grape. (blackberry for me. yum!) |
