Name: Sara
Any other nicknames(s): (In real life) it's pretty hard to think up nicknames for Sara, but I am called "Sare" by the occasional person who is either feeling very affectionate or too lazy to say my whole name. And, I usually keep it secret, but my brothers used to call me Silly Sally when they were annoyed at me. 
On NW, my nicknames are Dennie, Destined, and variations of DTR. It's kind of funny, I sort my "folks" by the names they call me. 
Oh, and there's always "The Cheese Queen", which I was christened by Shadowlander.
Country/area living in: The most beautiful part of Wisconsin. It's full of rolling hills and lakes.
Approx age: 17
Personal info: I'm the middle child, with 2 older and two younger siblings.
My favorite thing to do is read. I read mostly fiction, and I like fantasy, classics, historical fiction, and a little sci-fi. I stay away from anything that's decidedly cheesy or badly written, and what's known as "chick lit" and horror. I like to write too, but I'm what I call a lazy writer. I get bored of whatever I'm writing, or else I decide that my writing is so bad that I just get discouraged and drop it. I've had some good experiences with poetry, however. It's short enough to keep my interest, and I've noticed I've been able to piece together some things pretty nicely.
I play the piano and sing, and I love both with a passion. I play the piano for my church, and have been mostly self taught. I sing every chance I get, and I'm part of an octet with several friends. 
Professional info: I've done secretarial and computer work for both my dad and grandpa, and I also handle the "books" for one set of my grandparents. I'm currently in my last year of high school. I'm starting my first "job" ever tomorrow, at a Hallmark store! 
Pysical Stats: I'm 5'7", have wavy golden blonde hair, green eyes, a fair complexion, freckles, and am of a medium build (I weigh around 130).
Most embarrassing moment in last 12 months: That would definitely be when I was walking along bleachers in a crowded gym for a graduation ceremony, and missed the gap where two were joined together. My entire leg fell down through the hole, and people all over looked at me and asked if I was alright. Embarrassed A very kind man came rushing up (I can't even remember what he looks like now), and supported my foot from underneath while I tried to draw it back up. It was very difficult, and I felt like my backless dress shoe was going to fall off the entire time, down in the darkness underneath the big, wooden bleachers. That would have been terrible, since I'd have been limping around in one shoe for the entire day, and they were new shoes. So the guy kept asking me if I was alright, and I kept saying, "I'm alright, but my shoe is going to fall off!" Eventually, I was able to draw my leg back up, and safely move on. But that incident scarred me for life. Not only figuratively, but literally, since the upper part of one leg is still very slightly colored blue.
Favourites:
Books: My three favorite books are, in order, The Count of Monte Cristo, War and Peace, and Les Miserables. Other favorites are Jane Eyre, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, the Attolia books, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Prydain, The Chronicles of Narnia, Manalive, Freckles, The Three Musketeers, Howl's Moving Castle
Movies: Pride and Prejudice ('05)!!!!!, LotR, Batman Begins, Monsters Inc, Wall-E, Silvarado, Little Women ('49, '94), Mary Poppins, Jane Eyre (2006), Enchanted, Ever After, The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Philadelphia Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma!
Food: blue cheese, sardines, real Mexican, fish, cheesecake, cheese, milk, grape juice, steak,
Favorite animal: Horses. I've always wanted one.
Music: Beethoven, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Newsboys, Tenth Avenue North, Coldplay, Switchfoot, Josh Groban, Jason Mraz, Yiruma
Favorite Narnia Book: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
History on Narniaweb: I joined on the 5th of March, 2008 (now, isn't that a nice sounding date?). My brother had been a member here for several months, and all his reports of the fun he was having on here convinced that I'd have to join sooner or later. When I finally gave in, I spent two days deciding what my member-name should be, and eventually I decided upon Destined-To-Reign, taking it from the song by Alanis Morissette.
What I like best about Narniaweb: Of course, it's the people. I joined to talk about the movie Prince Caspian, but even after the fuss was over, I stayed around because I was having such a fun time on here. My favorite places on NW are the Books Thread (that's what got me hooked, really), and Town Square. The books thread is really an amazing place. It's where I made most of my closest friends on here, and where I got to know practically everyone I know. Oh, and of course I frequent Games and Blogs a good bit, now that I mod there.
Rule most often forgotten by me: Probably the one about staying on topic. I don't usually start the going off topic stuff, but I can get dragged into it. Other than that, I only ever had to be PMed by a mod once (it was wisewoman, about an "I agree" post), and was mortified enough to be very careful about rules from thence on.
Favorite/funniest Nweb memory: My two favorites are April Fools day ('09 and '08) and Mod/Admin Day ('09). On April Fools ('09), I was having so much fun I could scarcely drag myself away from the computer. I went around the house giggling to myself almost the entire day (and that was before I was a mod!). Mod/Admin Day was a whole lot of fun getting ready for. I really felt like an appreciated part of the forum, and that made me really happy.
First Narniaweb Post: That would be right here. It wasn't much, mostly quoting coracle, and my grammar definitely wasn't perfect.
Typical Sayings(s): "Oh my goodness!" and "Are you serious?!"
Comment by another mod:"I've enjoyed working in the Games and Blogs section with DTR. Her attitude is always refreshing and the care with which she does her job makes her a pleasure to work with." ~EtJ
DTR is a joy to work with on the G&B. And she's a real pleasure to be around, no matter what. I've really enjoyed learning the ropes of modding with her. ---Valia

Cheese Queen!!!!
You're standing (hypothetically) in the deli section of your local grocery store. You see 3 separate packages of cheese products but have only enough moola to purchase one. The products are a big bag of mozarella string cheese, a container of mild cheddar cheese cubes, or some very fresh cheese curds. Which one do you end up picking?
Given the choice of vacation spots within Wisconsin, would you rather...
A. Hit Milwaukee and watch a Brewers game
B. Visit Door County and let the locals soak you for overpriced tourist merchandise
C. Stay at home, don a cheese wedge hat, and watch a Packers game while throwing 10 lbs. of bratwursts on the grill
At what point do you think the temperature is too cold to go out and do anything? 10 degrees F? -20? -40? -60?

4: I would love to travel to Great Britain and Europe.
5: I like Edmund Dantes a whole lot. I also like Valentine, Noirtier, Maximilien, and Julie and Emmanuel. I know, that's more than you asked for. 
I like Valentine because she's so sweet and good, Maximilien is noble (when he isn't being whiney), and Julie and Emmanuel have such a happy, content family. Noirtier is really neat and lovable, and Edmund Dantes is-Edmund Dantes.
6. Summer.
7. Rain?
8. Oh dear. Maybe wisewoman? She's pretty good at finding books, and she knows a lot more books then I do.
9. Life is Wonderful, by Jason Mraz. I don't suggest all of his music, but this particular song makes me so, indescribably happy.
10. I like Hogan's Heroes.
11. Pierre and Natasha win head over heels, from War and Peace. I also like Jane Eyre, Edmund Dantes, Eugenides and Irene, Howl and Sophie, Taran, Gwydian, Ellionway . . . Oh, and I can't forget Morgan of Hed, and Raederle.

14: I like Cod a lot.
15. Why yes, success in certain things has indeed changed my life.
16. England.
17. Yes.
18. Goodness. Umm . . . Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. That's all I can think of, right now.
19. I like the Rio Bravo Burrito, which is full of steak, beans, rice, cheese, and topped with a very spicy, creamy cheese sauce. YUM!
20. Oh dear. Why do you have to ask such difficult questions? Umm . . . I like the prince in Ever After. But I don't think he's my favorite. 
21. Yes, I do. I'm still not completely used to it, and I miss some aspects of the old forum, but I do like the new one.

22: I hope I don't get hate mail, but I actually like The Lord of the Rings better.
23. Ditto. Lord of the Rings.
24. Goodness, yes. I LOVE living in Wisconsin! It's so beautiful.
25. Actually, no. Truth be told, the other mods got a sneak peak at my profile, and they edited in the comments themselves.
26. I don't like it quite as much as the old one, but then, I haven't been in it all that much, either.
27. I'm not sure yet. I think I'd like to, but it "depends" on a lot of things.
28. I don't think so. Sometimes I leave things because I'm not sure what to do with them, though, or I'm too busy at the moment.
29. Mmm . . . 
Hee hee.
30. I'm pretty good at both grammar and spelling. I'd probably prefer spelling.
31. Nope, I haven't.
32: I've heard of it-but I don't know what it is.
33. 17.

43. Not any that I didn't already know.
44. I'd like to major in English or Library Science, I think. I'm not certain what I'd do with the English major, though.
45. I'm barefoot. Be horrified! Caterpillars! 
46. I don't think so.
47. Mmm hmm!
48. For the most part, yes. Especially when I'm allowed to get creative, and make new things.
Alright, folks, that's all for now! I'll be back later!
