Bibliomaniac, gadget freak. Mommy.

HTML and some PHP

> >Technical know-how:
HTML and some PHP. I rule Yahoogroups with my powers of tweaking-the-
system. I can also make a good cafe press shop.

>  
> 
> >Favourite HP book:
PoA. 

> >Favourite HP character(s):
I adore Harry. I just do. 
Must. Schnoogle. Ickle. Draco. Hislifeissomessedup.
Also Sirius. Pretty much the same reason.
> 
> >Favourite HP line
Mmmm. Pretty much the whole Shack scene. W00.

> >Watching/Avoiding the HP movies?:
In the past 2 weeks, I have seen the first film - or parts thereof - 
7 times. It's on HBO and HBO Family a lot. And I'm up in the middle 
of the night a lot. 

> >Into HP fanfiction?
I am an admin on FA, so yes. But the quality of what we reject 
shocks me, daily.

> 
> >Books you'd recommend to just about anyone:
The Eight, by Katherine Neville. This book is amazing, and my second-
favorite, to PoA. Yes, I like it more than the other 3 HP books. So?


> >Favorite TV shows?
Twas Buffy, but Buffy is no more. Am getting into Trading Spaces. 

> >Favorite movies:
Grease :)
And it was playing on TNT the night I was in the hospital for my 
induction, which made the waiting fine and the contractions 
bearable. Yay.


> 
> >One thing about your life you'd change if you could – you may not 
> >say "lose weight."

I would make it be next Friday, so ootp would be out in hours, not a 
week.

> 
> >One thing about your life you wouldn't change even for an advance 
> >copy of Book 7:
My family, in toto. 

> >Philosophy for an easy life:
For me, it's just snuggling my bebe and my "grown boy" (who is all 
of 3 years 10 months). Well, it works. 

> 
> >How you found HPfGU:
Washington Post the day before GoF was released. I joined, I met 
Penny and Neil and Simon, and I stayed :)


> >Active at other HP sites:
Editor at TLC, admin at FA, and part of Team Nimbus - 2003. So it's 
a pretty busy fandom-life. Plus, I have a LiveJournal - heidi8
