Weight: slightly less than a metric ton

Chevy Land Yacht [Impala] Battleship grey in colour; no working A/C or radio; cracked windshield, hole in the muffler, needs
a tranny overhaul--basically all my car needs is a new car--BUT I'VE GOT THE PINK SLIP!!!
It's MY baby...I LURVE you Rhoda,
you're my life *snog* Sorry. Rhoda gets very upset if I talk rubbish of her.
Pets: Two grey tabby kitties, sisters,
from the same litter. Names: Riffraff [godbless rocky horror]and Razzmatazz
Living Status: with parents *grrr* (because
I contracted a raging case of viral pneumonia last winter, couldn't shake it for months, lost my job, and lease...yaddayaddayadda)
Occupation:
Developmental skills trainer/personal care assistant/attendant care specialist for mentally/physically challenged individuals
ranging in age from 3 to 76. Work for a place which teaches basic living/social
/navigational skills to people who have
a struggle to do so for themselves. Various afflictions by the residents/clients: cerebral palsy, ADD, ADHD, autism, hearing
loss or total deafness, sight-impairment or blindness, various mental illnesses, etc. Despite getting paid only 6.17/hour
and having no benefits, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this job because of the clients. Best line of work I've EVER been in...I love teaching
and helping people.
Loves: HP (erm, like duh?), boyfriend, Star Trek, X-Files *more movies please, Carter!!!*, reading,
listening to music *25 hrs a day*, sister Beka, writing, drawing, singing *25 hours a day*, Diet Pepsi (is the SPICE...*Dune-esque*),
Uh-oh Oreos, and my NEPHEWS!!!!
Hobbies: Ogling Harleys--Shovelheads *VRRROOOMMMMM*, lowriders, superglides... *siiiigggghhhh*
(I saw a man on a green/white Heritage Classic last week...stared at the heavenly Hawg...and the owner thought I was staring
at him! How DARE he!!!), toll painting, cooking (I LURVE spicing up Italian dishes), inventing/mixing cocktails, four-tracking
(four-wheeling,) off-roading (trucks are my LIFE!!!), camping, snow-machining, making up song parodies...the list goes on,
really...
Food Dislikes: CAKE (BLEAH!!! I can totally agree w/Radcliffe on this one--because when one eats cake, they
must generally eat frosting...which I also HATE...eeeccchhhh), nearly all fish (except red snapper and brook trout), brussels
sprouts, milk *ick*, almost anything bland. Gimmie spicy! I put pepper on EVERYTHING...eggs, soup, broccoli, corn, pasta (marinara),
and garlic toast...
General Dislikes: people who are disrespectful of my clients, ditto w/family and friends (bullies
at all I guess), idiotic politicians (Ex. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld), people who cut me off in traffic, people who steal my "Support
Our Troops" yellow ribbon magnets off my car (YES, this really HAPPENED!!) "Reality" TV/TV in general, rap music (rap is "crap"
with a silent C--except Will Smith, Beastie Boys, Rage/Machine), hip hop (most, not all), pop music (Britney, J. Lo, any Boy
Bands, Hilary, Celine--you can all kiss my ruddy wand)
Favourite Music: I have waaaaay too many favey bands/songs,
so I'll name the basic genre instead; ones I can remember, anyway: Old-School Punk (Ramones), Heavy Metal (old-school Metallica),
Acid Rock (Motorhead), Death Metal (Suicidal Tendencies), Hard Rock (AC/DC), Big Hair Bands--until they get too whiny (Poison),
New Wave (Depeche Mode), oldies (60s and 70s), 80s Butt Rock, and basic weirdness/avante garde in general: KISS, Twisted Sister,
Bloodhound Gang, Weird Al, Tom Lehrer, Bob Rivers, etc, some classical/romantic (Brahms, Verdi), SOUNDTRACKS...and a bit of
inspirational...on occasion. But by far, the best band EVER--would have to be....the Monkees!!!! HAHAHAHAAHAAAA! Unsung brilliance
in my opinion.
Tattoos/Unusual Scars: No tattoos; too many scars to count, really. I do have one on my left ring finger
that looks like a heart...it was from a case of chicken pox when I was 9. I've also got a long one across the bridge of my
nose from when I glass smashed on it when I was 15, oh yeah and I also have one down my stomach which looks like a zipper
because of the 33 staples used to hold it together...*snigger* Zipper Chic!!!

I
enjoy doing fan chat, fan art, fan fiction, composing Harry Potteresque music....you get the idea. I am also a rabid Dan fan.
The man is brill!!! Living out here in the American Northwest, there's not loads to do....hrm I'm a latecomer to the franchise;
until April 2004, I was a certified card-carrying member of the Harry Potter Loathers Society. Then I actually READ the books...*facepalm*
The rest is history!
In college, I wrote fiction for a published scifi zine so I know more than a bit of what I'm doing
here...=)
All I ask is that you give my work a read, and let me know what you think. I'm open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism,
but if you have loads to say, please use my email on this page. I have a wide variety of work, as I write in just about every
genre save slash. Slash just ruins the magic for me, and causes intense worry in my brain for those poor people who wrote
it...LOL
You might find me under one of my many nics on mugglenet chat, but the most common one I have is AdonnaTonks.
Be watchful, as I am a Metamorphagus.....and have many aliases....*sly smile*
***Many, many people have repeatedly
asked me where I get my ideas, and how I am able to write about Harry the way I do. In a rather blanket way, I feel it only
fair that I reply. Quite honestly, however, there is no single answer for this question. And I must unequivocally state it
is definitely more inspiration than personal talent or ability. In other words, I don't write these stories: THEY write ME.
So I suppose in some ways, especially since it was not me who created Harry Potter, it feels nearly...arrogant to call these
stories "my writing", but for the sake of argument, that's how I shall refer to them. Here are just a few of the resources/reasons
from which my imagination springs:
1) J. K. Rowling
2) Dan Radcliffe
3) Jim and Oliver Phelps
4) Bonnie Wright
5)
Rupert Grint
6) Emma Watson
7) personal experiences/emotions
8) fellow HP enthusiasts/friends
9) music
10)
drawing/sketching
11) life in general
I would like to think one can find inspiration in anything, even amongst the
bad--for without it, one would never be able to truly appreciate the good they experience. All we need to do is look with
the right attitude.***
