    Well I thought that Amelia sounded a bit more exotic *L* that 
Amy and Goldfeesh is for haveing four huge pet goldfish that were 
sold as feeders.  "Feesh" is because that is how my family is SW 
Iowa pronounces fish most of the time.

If I could change things I would have my email be AGoldfeesh instead 
as it is shorter to type...

      There are so many good ones I don't know if I could choose.  I 
always liked Amanda's use of quotes as her sig.

       A librarian or Arthur's job sounds fun, finding the bewitched 
muggle items.  (Though it probably isn't as exciting as Friday the 
13th: The Series portrayed.)


> * What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?
        Myself, surrounded with my family and friends.

> * What shape would a boggart take, if you chance upon one?
         Probably a dead loved one.

          Being with my husband and family.
 
> * What form might your Patronus take?
          A large rat.  I would not want to take on an angry or 
protective rat.

>  
> * What might your animagus form be?
           I'd be happy as a sparrow.

       Certainly a wand, a model of the solar system, and many more.

        Strawberry jam.   Ambition- perhaps getting a library 
degree, if I can convince myself I want to get back to school.


> * Which of the HP books is your favorite?
        Either POA or HBP.

> * Who is your favorite character?
        Snape- I finally figured that out after joining HPFGU and 
reading GOF.


> * What do you hope will happen in Book 7?
         That JKR will be able to fit everything needed into it- I 
don't know how she will be able to do it.

 
> * What do you think will happen in Book 7?
           Voldemort will be defeated. :)

> * What's your personal best for Expert Level Minesweeper?
     Never played it, although last night playing 13 point pitch I 
bid 8 on an Ace, a 10 and a three and my partner and I got 10 points.

> * When did you join HPfGU?  How did you find us?
      I received my greetings from Sheryll on Fri, 16 Nov 2001.
      I don't recall if I heard of HPFGUs from the Sugarquill or 
not.  Most likely I did since I had been lurking over there for a 
bit longer yet.
  
> * Point us to your delurking post...how was that maiden voyage?
   What?! You expect  me to battle with Yahoomort!?  Ahh, found it- 
my first post was #34889.  It was about Hermione ripping the page 
out of the library book.  Starting at 39057 I got involved in a 
thread that came about from the Memory Charm Symposium.

  
> * Point us to your favorite posts, your own or otherwise.
    One word- ELKINS.  I loved getting on HPFGUs and seeing a post 
by her and then a reply from Cindy, or Amanda, or Porphyria.

     My favorite post I made was on about the Boggarts I made which 
I made because of an old Avengers episode I was watching about 
fear.  I theorized that they fed off fear.

  
> * Point us to, in hindsight, what you now wish you'd never said 
> [ex.: ships sunken by new can(n)on, being flagged by LOONs...]
        I never posted enough to have much of anything to be 
embarrassed about.

  
> * Have you been around since August 2000? No, just since Feb, 2001.

     What were the hot 
> topics for you personally five years ago, post-GoF?
    Snape, of course.  Totally not-hot topic was Shipping.


> * What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
     Well I have a history degree...but don't know what to do with 
my job-related life and so cashier at Walmart.  What surprised me is 
how much I enjoy my part-time job at a tollbridge.  They both make 
doing www.wheresgeorge.com a lot easier.  
     Another surprise is I'd like to learn more about cars.  I wish 
I'd have asked my dad to teach me more when I was high school age 
back when he used to work on cars a bit more than now.

 
> * Things you do when not staring at the computer:
     Reading, getting together with family to play cards, working,  
in theory I like gardening, though I don't have enough time.
   
> ** Got a question of your own?  Ask it here.
   Not really a question but I an observation I recalled after 
reading my old posts.  I still don't see why the wizards, who 
supposedly have such a longer lifespan aren't really much longer 
lived than most non-wizards.  Re: post 109815.

    Hey, I slaved and slaved and made one acronym myself:
     S.A.N.G.U.I.N.E.
Snape, A Nocturnal Grouch. Undead? Indeed Not Everyone!

    (Oh My Goodness, it was difficult to come up with)
