Anyone Up For A Good Old-Fashioned *Mixer?*

[KathyK]

Name: Katherine 
 
 
Also known as: KathyK Even in real life.  At family functions 
someone says "Kathy" and three heads whip around in confusion.


Age/Sex: 24 on Friday/Female


Birthplace/Livingplace and feelings about same: Born and raised in 
Cheshire, Connecticut...moved a half hour away to New Britain for 
College but now I'm back.  I'm escaping Connecticut altogether in 
February.  Cheshire is a wonderful place to grow up but it's very 
boring and now filled with Fairfield County wannabes.  


Family Life: Currently living with my mother and younger 
brother...and my older brother and my aunts and uncles all live 
within fifteen minutes driving time.

 
Personality: One of the quiet ones
 

 
Words friends have used to describe you: Funny, insane, nice, 
friendly, intelligent

 
 
Words you have used to describe you: antisocial, sarcastic, walking 
doormat, procrastinator, INDECISIVE, control freak
 
 
 
Things you do when not staring at the computer:  Work, read, write, 
spend time with my friends and my adorable nephew

 
Comfort foods:  pizza, M&Ms
 
  
 
Education/Work:  BA in history (Primarily US, a bit of East Asia) 
with a minor in Sociology.  Desperate to go back if I could just 
figure out exactly what I want to do because I'm not into spending 
money I don't have on things I'm not sure of.  So I'm working as a 
Video store manager and a CSC associate, which is a fancy way of 
saying I take phone orders.  
 
 
 
Language skills:  English.  I can read Spanish and get the gist of 
spoken conversations.

 
 
Technical know-how: I can read my email and play on the internet.  
Other than computers, I can generally take things apart and put them 
back together again.  Sometimes I can actually fix what's broken.  
 
 
Favourite HP book:  PoA but OoP is gaining the more times I read it.
 
 
 
Favourite HP character(s):  Lupin and Sirius
 
 
 
Favourite HP line: "Never trust anything that can think for itself 
if you can't see where it keeps its brain."
 
 
 
Watching/Avoiding the HP movies?:  Watching, at least once a week 
because of that pesky video store gig.
 
 
 
Into HP fanfiction?  On and off reading.  Once tried my hand at 
writing and gave up in self disgust.
 
 
 
Books you'd recommend to just about anyone: Lies My Teacher Told Me 
by James Loewen, Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton, Jane Eyre by 
Charlotte Bronte.

 
 
Favorite TV shows: Buffy, Angel, X-Files minus the final episode, 
Boy Meets World, Law & Order, The Simpsons...Really, it depends on 
my mood.

 
 
Favorite Movies: Emperor's New Groove, American History X, Indiana 
Jones & the Last Crusade, Star Wars (the first trilogy), Manchurian 
Candidate
 
 
 
Favorite Musical Artists: Evanescence, Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, 
Grass Roots, Billy Joel
 
 
 
One thing about your life you'd change if you could (sorry, but you
may not say "lose weight"):  My complete inability to make 
decisions, even about the simplest things like what to have for 
dinner.  Oh, or maybe my complete lack of self confidence.
 
 
One thing about your life you wouldn't change even for an advance
copy of Book 7:  the frivolous, vain answer is my hair color.  The 
real answer is My family and friends, who are like family.

 
 
Philosophy for an easy life: avoid everything?
 
 
How you found HPfGU: Leaky Cauldron

 
Active at other HP sites: Nope, usually just passing through.

 
Your most rock solid Book 6 or Book 7 prediction:  Snape's hair will 
be greasy
 
 
Take a moment to wave to members of the fandom you have personally 
met:  *sigh* No one...

 
ADD A QUESTION OF YOUR OWN AND ANSWER IT:  Where do you keep your 
Harry Potter Books?  On my desk right next to me.
