Occasionally leans toward obsessiveness.  Also an ENFP.

***First contact with Harry Potter:
After brushing off suggestions that I read them, I finally succumbed 
when I saw the SS trailer in the theater.

***Favourite Potter things (books, characters, ships, fics, objets
d'Art, general enthusing):
Favorite book is OoP with PoA close behind.  Favorite characters are 
Hermione and Lupin.  I'm open to shipping almost anyone, as long as 
they're in character, and the fic is well-written.  I seem to be in 
a Snape/Hermione phase right now though.  I'm also starting to 
develop an HP tshirt collection, which will eventually be made into 
a quilt.

***Extent of Potter obsession:
I would say pretty extensive.  I find myself using adjectives 
like "Slytherin" when describing people.

***Other interests/activities:
Classical music, quilting, spending time with my girls

***Current/recent reading:
Various articles on English Language Development for an Education 
class I'm taking right now, for fun, I just finished the Dune 
prequels and I'm rereading the Hitchhiker's guide series.

***Current/recent listening:
Last CD bought: Sheryl Crow.  I also listen often to Paul Simon's 
Graceland, and anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.  Plus 
random classical pieces played on the radio.

***Current/recent viewing:
Farscape and Firefly on DVD.  West Wing is next on my to-watch list.

Cheers!
