Yahoo ate my first intro. Bad Yahoo, bad!
***Name:
Angela.
***Nicknames/IDs:
You can call me Ang if you like. The Forbidden Name is Angie.
My usernames are Neptune42 and Angelamermaid, depending on where I am.
***Age:
38
***Family:
My family here in Calgary are my two cats, and to a lesser degree, my fish.
My parents, brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece are all in New
Brunswick.
***Home
Calgary, Alberta
***Birthday, Place of Birth:
March 14, Vancouver, British Columbia. I was an army brat. My father was
posted overseas twice, to the Canadian embassies in Belgrade and Moscow.
***Education/Job/Role in Life etc:
I have two and a half years worth of credits for a B.A. If I ever complete
it, my major will be English Lit. I have a diploma in graphic arts.
My job is ... reporting coordinator. I work with Excel. Because I used to
work with people, and I am happy that Excel doesn't have feelings.
Outside of work, I'm very creative and artistic and crafty, can't keep my
hands still!
***First contact with Harry Potter:
Heidi Tandy brought up the books first, on an e-mail list many many moons
ago. Like, after CoS. I am ashamed over how long it took me to start
listening to her.
***Favourite Potter things (books, characters, ships, fics, objets d'Art,
general
enthusing):
I'm a Ron/Hermione shipper, thanks to a really good fanfic. And I would
really like to move to Hogsmeade.
***Extent of Potter obsession:
I didn't pick up any of the books until the hullabaloo about GoF being
published. I bought SS, let it languish on my computer table for a month
before opening it ... and I was hooked. I had all four books read within a
month. I pre-ordered OoTP and read it in 9 hours.
I've written some fanfic, my very first was "A Day in The Life of Lucius
Malfoy", which was actually my reply to a rhetorical question on the main
list, when I was having a quirky day. I have lots of quirky days. :-)
And I have a Harry Potter Lego collection that 8 year old boys envy. ;-)
***Other interests/activities:
I play a lot of Sims and SimCity 4 and Morrowind. I cross-stitch. I have a
desire to take up water colour painting again. I'm an amateur photographer.
I do a lot of funky photoshopping in the pixel challenges at
TelevisionWithoutPity.
***Current/recent reading:
Thanks to BookCrossing, I'm discovering new authors. Hated Wild Animus by
Rich Shapero. Loved The Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux. And am deep into The
King of Torts by John Grisham.
***Current/recent listening:
Michael Buble. I love his versions of Spider-Man and Moondance.
***Current/recent viewing:
Right now I'm watching The Amazing Race, which is like the Rolls-Royce of
reality TV. And Big Brother, which is a cesspool of cheesy trash, and yet I
cannot look away. Looking forward to Survivor next month.
