A Proper Intro

[quigonginger]

***Name:
Ginger (really my given name is Karen, and my friends call me Kay-up 
until now, only Haggridd and Kelley knew that, so I guess I'm warming 
up to this whole internet thing.)

***Nicknames/IDs:
Um, just Ginger

***Age:
38

***Family:
Mom, dad, and a sister in Watertown, SD, and baby sister in Omaha, NE

***Home
Fargo, ND

***Birthday, Place of Birth:
June 17 (same as Tiggersong!) West Point NE, where I only lived for 2 
months, so I don't remember it.

***Education/Job/Role in Life etc:
Got a degree in music, but didn't want to teach, so now I work 4 days 
a week at a factory that makes sewer pipe fittings, and 3 days a week 
at a convenience store.  (I use the word "days" loosely- I work 
graveyards) I hope to be out of debt enough to go down to one job in 
a year or so.

 
***First contact with Harry Potter:
My cousin bugged me about reading them, but it was when SS was out in 
paperback, and a copy was placed in the books for sale at the c-store 
that I picked it up to see what the fuss was all about and was hooked
  
***Extent of Potter obsession:
Well, I'm here, aren't I?  I also tend to filk everything I hear.
 
***Other interests/activities:
With my work schedule, not much.  I substitute as an organist and 
Sunday School teacher.  I had a full time class, but it got to be too 
much.  I am very Snapey as a teacher, and the kids loved it!  I found 
you can silence a know-it-all by saying "Thank you, Hermione" and 
they all get it!
 
***Current/recent reading:
Well, I really don't read much, but a benefactor has recently sent me 
a whole bunch of the Discworld series, and I am enjoying them.  
(thank you, dear)
 
***Current/recent listening:
I really don't listen much.  I took vacation last month and listened 
in the car-Phantom of the Opera, the Nutcracker, the Roche's 
Christmas CD (don't leave home without it) 

***Current/recent viewing:
the last movie I saw was Star Wars II. (couldn't tell I'm a fan, 
could you?) I hate theatres, and I don't have much of an attention 
span.  I am, however, a Veggietales freak.  As for TV, the last 9 
things I watched were 3 superbowls, and 6 Detroit Lions games*.  That 
is in a 3 year span.

*Lion's motto: We're not mathematicly eliminated yet!
Motto, plan B:  There's always next year.

Ginger, who admits that she couldn't figure out how to do this and 
stole someone else's intro and put in her own answers. (shame)
