001. Real Name › Michael Lightle
002. Nickname[s]› M, Mike, Lightle, and by one select individual: Dad
003. Blood: Half-blood
004. Male Or Female › Male
005. Magical School › Hogwarts
006. House › Gryffindor
007. Eye Color › Dark Blue
008. Hair Color › ... It used to be brown...
009. Long Or Short › Oh come now, can we for once leave hair out of the picture? -_- I am bald for Merlin’s sake!
010. Loud Or Quiet › I can be all things, when there is a time to be all things. Most of the time, however, I am quiet.
011. Sweats Or Jeans › It largely depends upon the weather. However, comfort these days is much more important than style, so I shall say sweats! *kicks back and relaxes*
012. Phone Or Camera › Why, a camera, of course. Conversations only last a short while. Pictures, on the other hand last a great deal longer and provoke greater amounts of memories.
013. Health Freak › I regret to say so. When you reach my age, it becomes vital to monitor one’s health constantly.
014. Drink Or Smoke? › Drink, please.
015. Do You Have A Crush On Someone? › Would it count if she were also my wife?
016. Eat Or Drink? › Well, that depends upon a great host of things. I prefer to satisfy my needs when I need them.
017. Piercings? › Great Merlin, no. Not even when my friends dared me to in school.
018. Tattoos? › Again: no. I am not fond of anything pointy being jabbed into my skin.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN…?
019. An Airplane › Oh yes, I have been in one. Can’t say it was the most exciting of things. I would rather apparate.
020. A Car Accident › Unfortunately yes, but there were no lasting damages.
021. A Fist Fight › Again, unfortunately, yes. But I only did so when there were no other options open to me.
FIRSTS:
022. First Piercing › Well... never. I just told you not that long ago. I may be getting old but I assure you my memory is as sharp as a pin!
023. First Best Friend › My first best friend... my, we are going back a long ways now aren’t we? Merlin... My first best friend would have to be James Ryder. We go all the way back to Primary School. Those were the days! I really should floo him sometime, the old hippogriff.
025. First Award › Ah... Oh dear. I’ve won quite a few awards in my day, and can scarcely remember which was the very first...
026. First Crush › ... My wife isn’t listening in on this, is she?
028. First Big Vacation › Pompeii, and several other such historical locations, with a particular emphasis on Greece and Rome. I almost wanted to become a muggle archaeologist after this vacation.
029. Last Person You Talked To › Give me a moment... I do believe I last spoke, in person, with Mr. Tanner.
030. Last Person You flooed › My daughter, Liara
031. Last Person You Watched A Quidditch Game With › Liara and others invited to the Minister’s Box. I required an anti-anxiety potion before the match, and prayed to Merlin no one – spectator or otherwise – would fall from our perches.
032. Last Food You Ate › My wife is a magnificent cook! I am not quite sure what it was she made, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
033. Last Movie You Watched › I believe it was an old ‘Science Fiction’ film... From the Star Trek series. I want to say it was titled “The Undiscovered Country”. Those Klingons put me somewhat in mind of the Goblins I worked with. Admittedly very tall ones, but Goblins, nonetheless.
034. Last Song You listened To › I believe the song was titled “Photograph”. Composed ages ago by a Muggle band calling themselves ‘Nickelback’.
035. Last Thing You Bought › That is easy enough: I last purchased a present for Liara’s birthday.
I’m afraid I can’t tell you precisely what it is...
036. Last Person You Hugged › My lovely wife, Cassandra.
FAVES:
037. Food › Although not the healthiest of choices, I am unable to resist a decent bread pudding.
038. Drinks › I am fond of wine, and non-alcoholic birch beer. And tea – we can’t forget tea now can we?
039. Clothing › Once more I advocate comfort over modern trends. My favorite shirt is in fact a gift from Liara: the material is as soft as a pygmy puff, though entirely synthetic.
040. Book › Now this is a tough one... I have sampled many literary works. I shall say I have two favorites, as one is largely unpublished. The more renowned work is a historical fiction set in a Goblin community. For the era in which it was written, and our understandings of Goblin culture at that time, it was done marvelously well! My second favorite is highly sentimental in value, and is in fact a collection of short stories composed and compiled by Liara when she was a little girl. It was a gift for Father’s Day, and is still a very-much cherished gift. I would hope she’d like to get it published sometime...
041. Music › I prefer the older music styles, thank you. But my tastes in music are widely varied and open-minded.
042. Flower › I personally prefer the rose for its elegance... Very much like my wife and daughter.
043. Colors › Blue, slate gray, black, and white
044. Quidditch team › I do not partake much in playing or observing Quidditch these days unless it is from the ground. I used to play for the Montrose Magpies, however.
045. Shoes › When I can get away with it, I am quite fond of my slippers or not wearing any shoes at all...
046. Subjects › Arithmancy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration
