***Education/Job/Role in Life etc:
Health care professional. 

***Other things we might want to know about you:
I knit and garden. 

***First contact with Harry Potter:
A few weeks before GoF came out.  I heard about the series before 
that, but I never thought much about it until a copy of SS was left 
in the waiting room and I thumbed through it. (Yes, the child who 
left it sent her mother back the next morning to retrieve it!)

***Favourite Potter things (books, characters, ships, fics, objets 
d'Art, general enthusing):
PoA is my favorite book in the series, so far. Favorite characters 
(other than Harry) are the Weasley family. Being an October baby, the 
cursed opal necklace mentioned in CoS intrigues me...

***Extent of Potter obsession:
Er...ummm...no comment ;)

***Other interests/activities:
I'm a local history buff. I especially like researching those "creepy 
old" houses and family grave yards in my area. It sprang from my 
interest in the paranormal and just trying to weed out the urban 
legends from the more legitimate activity. 

I have two projects currently in the works: research on something 
called the "Bucket's O' Blood" tavern near the Washington DC-Maryland 
line and a field search for a house known as the Hatton Mansion which 
was photographed in the 1930s by the Historic American Buildings 
Survey. 


***Current/recent reading:
Fiction: just finished re-reading "Brideshead Revisited" for the 
hundredth time.
Non-fiction: A couple of ice cream cookbooks (I recently purchased a 
Cuisinart Ice Cream maker, the kind that doesn't need ice cubes and 
salt). "Dr. Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution" by Robert Atkins.
 
***Current/recent listening:
Nirvana MTV Unplugged. Assorted Frank Sinatra CDs. Some classical---
especially waltz.

***Current/recent viewing:
Movies: Nothing new recently. I have been disgruntled after I read 
about the "Cheaper By the Dozen" movie alleged remake. 

Television: "Buffy" was my tuesday night mainstay. "The Guardian" on 
CBS is the other. Must-see-TV for me is "EastEnders"...can't live 
without the Vic!
