[HPFGU-OTChatter] Anyone Up For A Good Old-Fashioned *Mixer?*

[FoxyDoxy]

Foxydoxy shows up late to the party. All that is left is cold butterbeer and half eaten cauldron cakes.  She mutters something that sounds like 'Real life ruins *everything*.' Feeling very conspicuous, she drops her bio with the rest of them and goes to stand next to KathyK and Dooda. 

Name: Jen Boyack

Also known as: Foxydoxy, Jenni, Madi's Mom (as in "Go ask Madi's mom" and "Madi's Mom, can Madi come over and play?")

Age/Sex: 29 / Female

Birthplace/Livingplace and feelings about same: Born in Santa Barbara, Ca. Currently living in St. George, Ut.  It's really pretty here, with the red dirt, white canyons, and blue Wasatch mountains, very patriotic indeed.  There are a lot of golf courses, hiking and running trails. You'd think more people here would be in shape :). But don't visit in the summertime, unless you can stand the 120 degree temps. 

Family Life: Married to my High School sweethart. One 6 year old little girl.  

Personality: Easy-going. 

Words friends have used to describe you: Sarcastic, witty, kind, a little strange, pretty, organized which makes me laugh, "Haha! I've fooled you all." Because I'm so not organized. Caustic at times.  

Words you have used to describe you: workaholic, tired. 

Things you do when not staring at the computer: Read, clean, hang out with my family, go to school, plan and go on road trips. 

Comfort foods: Ben&Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, hot cocoa with whipped cream, pizza, soup. 

Education/Work: High School, Trade School, College off and on when I have time. I'm taking Fall courses now. I do medical billing for 7 nursing home/rehab facilities in Utah, manage the financials for 5 of those facilities, plus a 500 acre farm.  I also manage the health insurance for all the companies. 

Language skills: English, I can understand Spanish and some German. 

Technical know-how: Your basic Windows programs, Word, XL, some html, scanners and digital cameras. I can read and follow directions.

Favourite HP book: PoA

Favourite HP character(s): Sirius, Avery, the Bartemii Crouch. 

Favourite HP line: "Indeed? And you've been carrying them around ever since? How very touching..." Snape in PoA 

Watching/Avoiding the HP movies?: Watching ocasionally and annoying DH with the corrections. 

Into HP fanfiction? I've only read one fanfic all the way through.  The Potion Master's Apprentice by RJ Anderson. I loved it.  

Books you'd recommend to just about anyone: HP of course, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.  

Favorite TV shows: With a 6 year old, our TV is pretty much stuck on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel. But when it's not I like to watch Gilmore Girls, Law & Order, the Discovery Channel, and A&E. 

Favorite Movies: Ever After, Pirates of the Caribbean, Taxi Driver, The Breakfast Club and pretty much all the John Huges films. 

Favorite Musical Artists: Depends on my mood. Lately my obsession has been Evenescence.  Dooda and I saw them at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, they rock out loud. After them, in no particular order... Portishead, Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation, Indigo Girls, Lamb, Peter Murphy, Pink Floyd, The Cure. This list goes on for days. 
One thing about your life you'd change if you could (sorry, but you may not say "lose weight"): I wish I had tried harder in school, and spent more time reading and less time partying it up as a teenager. 

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

Philosophy for an easy life: Do what makes you happy. 

How you found HPfGU: Surfing, I think. 

Active at other HP sites: No. I barely have enough time for this one. 

Your most rock solid Book 6 or Book 7 prediction:
The screaming book Harry picked up in SS/PS will have the answer on how to vanquish Voldemort. 

Take a moment to wave to members of the fandom you have personally met: Dooda, Eowynn, and Dicentra (who is absolutely lovely, by the way). 

ADD A QUESTION OF YOUR OWN AND ANSWER IT: To copy someone elses question, sorry can't rememebr who. If you were to visit any shop in the Potterverse, where would you go first? Flourish and Blotts because it's a bookstore. 

Jen, who thinks Cindy sure knows how to throw a shindig.
