'Nother intro post... (somewhat long)

Well, yet another Texan in the group. The planets must be strangely 
aligned or some such thing. I've lurked for a couple of months now, 
and while I probably won't post too often (I'm a senior in high 
school, and have some insanely important research projects coming 
up), I thought it high time I introduced myself. So... 

I'm 17, female, and I've been obsessed with Harry Potter for about a 
year now. My initial reaction to my sister's new book (HPand the 
SS): "God, what a stupid author. She's completely ripped off the 
legend of the philosopher's stone." Once I had done a little 
research, though, and found out about the title change, I decided I'd 
better read the book. I did. I thought it was a decent read, good 
enough to make me read CoS (which I still find mediocre, at best) and 
then PoA (my all-time favourite, books 5-7 have a LOT to live up to, 
IMHO). By the time GoF came out, I was standing in line at 
BooksAMillion for 3 hours. 

Ship preferences... Sirius/Remus. My justification: If I can't have 
them, no other woman will. :) As for H/H or R/H or R/Harry, I really 
don't care, as long as I can believe it in the story.

Here's something to add to the obsession quiz (61%): Did a discussion 
of the HP books cause you and a significant other to break up? 
My boyfriend and I very nearly DID break up as a result of a 
discussion stemming from Hermione's date to the Yule Ball. (He 
thought that Harry and Ron were being normal guys, and that Hermione 
should have "dealt with it, and asked Ron before he asked someone 
else." Being a bit of a feminist, I had serious objections to that 
statement.)

What else about me? I write fanfic, which is available at ff.net. 
It's a series of songfics, mostly about MWPP et al. Here's a link to 
my author profile, if anyone's curious:

Sorry to be so longwinded,
