True. Raspberry.
Remus/Severus makes a lot of sense to me. Both involved with the Dark Arts (Remus as a dark creature and DADA teacher/expert), both spies for DD, both used to keeping BIG secrets.
The person below me has at least one *working* computer for every member of the family. If you live alone, you have at least two working computers. |

True. My laptop, his desktop. Although, I do question his desktop; I can't truly vouche that it's working (but he doesn't complain).
You're welcome to borrow my plot bunny, jynx67, here's some Tylenol for later.
I sometimes write SS/RL drabbles, but they sometimes seem out of character to me. I'm not sure if this relationship really would work, but I like it all the same.
The person below me has some type of Harry Potter podcast on their computer/iPod (I think I have three different ones). |

I have a podcast file that I downloaded because they mentioned my fic. (Yay!) Does that count?
We've come close, but I'm not sure we've ever had a truly *working* computer for every family member.
Strawberry is my jam flavor, although I like apricot, too. I never liked grape.
The person below me had finished reading HBP by noon of the release date. (I actually finished by about 6:30am. But then, I got the book at midnight.) |

True. Hate to say it, but I'm a sarcastic person (definitely had another word to go there). Promotional dates always make me roll my eyes  . Like Damian's release on 6/6/06.
I actually didn't get to read the book right when it was released. I had a huge deadline due, so my husband got to it first. He had it read by noon, though.
The person below me actually writes Snape with the frock coat/hundreds of buttons. |

False. Snape wears robes with very little underneath them. The movies are all wrong. I'm not sure about the buttons though. Can robes have buttons? Is that described in the books?
I've downloaded some Snape podcasts, but only listened to the first one so far.
The person below me hates Microsoft, but buys and uses their stuff anyway. |

Probably false. I'm dumb as a stump when it comes to all things computer related, so all software and hardware is the same to me. Thankfully, I have friends who know what they're doing.
I don't remember it ever saying in the books, but sure robes could have buttons on them. Why not? My Snape wears something under his robes -- shirt, sweater in winter, trousers and yes, sometimes even that stupid-yet-sexy frock coat. Sorry, but I think being hung upside-down and displayed for all to see would be fairly traumatic, and he would wear something under his robes.
The person below me owns more than two movies (not counting HP) with Alan Rickman in them. |

True! I own Sense and Sensibility; Michael Collins; Something the Lord Made; Truly, Madly, Deeply; and my own personal favorite, An Awfully Big Adventure.
My Snape doesn't wear the frockcoat. But he does wear more under his robes than just underwear. I agree with Lady Whitehart that the exposure would be traumatic enough to drive him to prevent such a thing from *ever* happening again. I do *like* the frockcoat, though, even if it isn't canon. 
And yes, I do hate Microsoft, but they own the standard, so what do you do? It's kinda like Walmart. *sighs*
The person below me has read a novel written before 1800. Bonus points if you've read more than one. And have a favorite. (I'm torn between The Female Quixote and Evelina.)

True. I've read both "Justine: The Misfortunes of Virtue," and "Juliette," but we won't go there.
I know the frockcoat isn't cannon but I like it.
The person below me has read Justine and/or Juliette and thinks De Sade was unbelievably perverted. I can deal with BDSM but c'mon... |

Sort of true. I'm really good at fixing stuff after I've broken it, and I'm also great at tinkering with things until they do what they're supposed to do. (Don't expect me to be able to explain it, though.)
I didn't finish HBP by noon on the day it was released; I bought it at about 2:30 or so in the afternoon and didn't finish it until about three days later. I have an excuse, though; I'm Canadian, but I happened to be in England at the time with my choir. We stayed a couple of days in Cambridge (including the day when HBP was released) and then went on to Lincoln to sing Evensong at the cathedral there for a week. I was (perhaps understandably) too busy to do much reading.
I'm not a fan of the frock coat. It looks good on Rickman, but that's not the way that "Snape-in-my-mind" dresses. Speaking of Rickman, though, I do own copies of more than one of his non-HP films: Sense and Sensibility, Love Actually, Dogma and (though he only voices a character in this one) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The funny thing is, most of these were gifts.
The person below me can do a dead-on imitation of a character from a movie or TV show. |

True. *sniffles* I always suspected that he would eventually die doing something wild and crazy, and I imagine that's the way he would have wanted to go. I feel for his family, though. :~(
I'm terrible at impersonating anyone, but my husband's pretty good at.
As for the Marquis...once, at a friend's house, I opened one of those books and read a page, just to see what all the fuss was about. All I can say is absolute ick. :~P
The person below me participated in a barbeque today.

False, but probably only because it was raining the entire day. So, instead, and perhaps to answer another question on here, we fixed our washing machine, and retrieved some farm equipment for my father-in-law (don't ask).
I own Dogma, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Robin Hood.
The person below me thinks Alan Rickman might be getting a little old for the role of Snape (use small stones if you must stone me, please). |

True. I love Rickman, but he's just not my Snape. Even a young Rickman wouldn't have worked for me, far to good looking.
I'm good at breaking things. Although my mother usually gets me to fix things around her house so I s'pose I'm pretty handy.
I have a friend that constantly picks on me because apparently I laugh like Woody Woodpecker, does that count as an impersonation?
I admit I wasn't a fan of Steve Irwin, but it's odd to think he's dead.
The person below me prefers snakes to spiders. |
