aladywriting,
welcome to the NarniaWeb family
Wow, Pattertwigs Pal! and to think I was worried that I would have too long of a discription on my reply.. you've got a lot of typing..
I'm surprised so many of us are single around here and have read Narnia too many times to count.. O.o ..lol.. any more adds to this topic??

I tend to be a bit of an overachiever. (If you think this is long you should see some of my post in the reading group on the old forum. I also had trouble with going too long on papers when I was in high school and college ).
Part of the reason my section was so long was that I tried to include things I had in common with others as well as some of my own things. A lot of people seem to be into creative pursuits like writing, drawing, making graphics (like to do this to but felt my previous post was a bit long ), cross stitch (ditto), etc.
Welcome to NarniaWeb, aladywriting!

1. Name: Rose
2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Queen
3. Family (single/married/kids): Happily single, the only girl in a family of boys
4. Occupation: Full-time volunteer/organizer
5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I first discovered it back before LWW came out when I was addressing some questions from fans on another site. I didn't join until late the year before Prince Caspian came out, and even since then my posting here has been pretty spotty. What can I say?-- real life has me hectically busy!
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I was around 8, not sure if it was before or after my birthday. I just know I immediately strongly related to Lucy and started drawing millions of fan-art pictures.

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Silver Chair
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: My tastes are unusual in pretty much every way. I love researching the resistance movement in WWII Europe and have tons of old source books and accounts from that time. I have a strong love of music, especially world music (Latino/Andean most of all), and the social justice-themed music of the Nueva Trova/Nueva Cancion movement. I also love strong Christ-centered messages that focus on His life and teachings. Other hobbies? Activism, or any way I can help my adopted community (immigrant families), art, as in pencil portraits or watercolor pictures, deep discussions of issues that matter to me, spending time with my family, of whom I'm fiercely protective.

King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Queen
Family (single/married/kids): Contentedly single
Occupation: student and non-profit volunteer
How you learned about Narniaweb: I was googling Narnia sites shortly after LWW came out, and Narniaweb was at the top of the list. I've lurked since then until finally getting up the nerve to join.
How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I was 7; my dad took me into our basement and gave me a book with a terrible cover called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I thought I'd give it a try and ended up reading all seven books in two weeks.
How many times have you read the Chronicles: Countless; every time I reread them I discover something new!
Favorite of the Chronicles: HHB
Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Jesus Christ is Lord of my life and I am following after Him as hard as I can! I am a full-time big sis and I love almost every minute of it. I'm an avid reader and writer and a devoted history geek. I love making and listening to music(especially Tenth Avenue North) and playing fantasy football! Fact about me: when I was younger, I used to compete in spelling bees, so now misspellings and typos drive me absolutely nuts(especially in the professional/business world).
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I think I stumbled across a link from NarniaFans back in 2005. I preferred NarniaFans at the time so I didn't start coming here regularly until Jan '08 when I stumbled across glumPuddle's videos. He pushed the website so much that I thought "Well, maybe I should take another look."
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I avoided them like the plague until I was 13. (The old cover art for the books and the BBC movie cover made them look very uncool.) Then my sister sat me down and started reading LWW to me. I read the rest within the year.
7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: Myself? Only once. I get too much joy from hearing actors perform them for me. I've listened to the audio books once or twice, depending on the book, and I've heard the radio dramas countless times. The books are on my reading list though...
8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Silver Chair
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Reading classic works of literature, writing music, theater, writing in general.
When I review movies I tend to analyze them according to Aristotle's six elements of drama: Plot, Character, Theme, Diction, Sound and Spectacle.

I'm new. Well, not new to forums, but new to this forum. Just thought I would introduce myself. I am by no means an expert on Narnia, though I read the books more than once to my kids.
I noticed one of your moderators is johobbit. I did not know they had hobbits in Narnia. Is this a recent development in the land of Narnia? Just kidding. Looking forward to meeting you all.
