Now me.  HI!  I'm Tammy.  I tend to lurk because other smarter-seeming-than-me 
people say what I want to say before I can say it and better than I could say it, but 
I'm here and I read nearly every post on this list and the main one.  I love HP (of 
course!), both book and movie versions, and I also really enjoy playing The Sims on 
my computer, and reading lots of varied Science Fiction/Fantasy books.  I write, but 
the muses in my head have all been fighting so loud for attention that I can't hear 
any of them right now, so I'm not writing currently.  I've just finished another re-read 
of Years 1-4, and may or may not be able to get all the way through them before my 
book arrives in the mail sometime AFTER June 21 (*snif snif*), at which point I will 
lock myself in a closet with a jug of water and some pork rinds and pizza, and will 
read until I can't see the pages anymore.  I hope my hubby survives the experience!  
:)  Anyhoo, once I've read OotP at least twice, I'll get back to lurking here and on the 
main list, watching for the opportunity to look smart by posting something intelligent.

Cindy -- go get some inexpensive magnifying eyeglasses so you can read your 
watch your lovely family gave to you.  :)
