Checking in! Retaking my LSAT in October and will be applying by early November!

ETA I successfully solicited a fee waiver with an atrocious LSAT score, so try that.

Checking in! I didn't realize that UVA was so gender imbalanced.

I want to start a school page now. I want to be a pseudo-mod.

Go for it. Fulfill your dreams. I'll check in as long as it's not Hogwarts Law.

In the current poll the options probably shouldn't overlap (ie have 7-10, 11-13 rather than 7-11, 11-13)

Yeah. That was dumb. Updated.

Lol, I have been meaning to ask you what the meaning behind your user pic is, LadyProspero. Why such a pic of Daniel Radcliffe? And how is it related to your username?

basedvulpes wrote:"blanketing that bitch" is really unsettling to me

Agreed. Would prefer something else.

Edit: Thanks for changing it, OP.

haha, I'm not very creative. I like Edgar Allan Poe, and in The Masque of the Red Death the main character is Prince Prospero

As far as Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe, just an HP nerd that needed an avatar

Checking in, and I second the comment about gender imbalance. Had no idea there were so many more guys.

is yours from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I haven't seen the English ones, but I've seen the Swedish versions (I think? Don't feel like Googling the language). Good movies.

Yup! I've been meaning to see the Swedish versions, but have only seen the English version. It was really the books that hooked me, though. I'm a sucker for strong, badass female characters. (Wish I could be half as badass as Lisbeth...)

Who's your favorite character from HP?

She's so fucking badass she's scary. From what I know the Swedish versions are a lot more intense, and from having seen them I thought they were a lot more intense than what you usually see in American films. You should watch them for sure! Though I never read the books, I'm sure they're just as brutal.

I always loved Ron Weasley. That comic relief. Snape is pretty cool too though, to be cliche haha.
