Fantastic Ferrets and Stoats, introduce yourself!, tell us about yourself Options

[agrippa]

Hi everyone! I'm so excited that you're here. Vlad, Evlpez, and I have been working hard to kick this project off, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

I thought this would be a good place to allow people to tell us about themselves. So, I live in Austin, Texas. I teach Latin at a private Episcopal school. I'm really involved in the Junior Classical League, which is the nation's largest academic student organization - we set up contests and conventions for kids who study Latin and ancient Greek. I like to cook and read (duh!). I am a certified personal trainer, and I work out about four days a week - this term I'm running a conditioning class after school. I'm also an assistant coach for a high school hockey team.

I first read Harry Potter when a teacher at my previous school said we shouldn't have it in the library because it's satanic. (It's not, but you knew that.) Been hooked ever since. I was in Italy with some of my students when Order of the Phoenix came out, and so I bought it (the Bloomsbury edition) at a bookstore in the old Campus Martius.

I think I also hold the distinction of making the finals of the Potter Project more times than anyone else who didn't win a round. I made the finals in four rounds. (I'm writing this before the last round ends, so I may be made a liar soon.)

Have fun! And let me know if you see anything buggy; I'll try to fix it.

Hi! I live in Worcester MA, and I am a 15 year old homeschooled girl, who takes random English and Drama courses at the coll for the fun of it. I have always been rather a loner, even the one year I spent in a boarding school in Austria. But I've always written as a hobby, entering in all sorts of contests, the first being with plays. I have a passion for the theatre. I act, I write, I do lighting. I go by Zymurgy because it amuzes me that almost no one can tell me what it means. I have a hatred of other people's grammer mistakes, but like all of us, I stick to my mistakes as my own copywrited material. I call it being creative. I have been know by variouse nicknames throught my life, none of which I am particularly fond of. My family is alloud to call me what they call me only because they just so happen to be my family. Old friends are alloud to call me what they call me simply because they are my old friends. And... sigh, friends of my friends, and friends of my family are aloud to call me what I've been introduced to them as simply because I can't put up a fight. Enough about the name. *sigh* I have an interest in extreamly dead languages. I am on my third year of Latin, which I enjoy exceedingly. I read Ceasar before I go to bead. It's that bad. I started Ancient Greek last year, and I am not up to anything in that area yet. I am bilingual, English/German, which causes me no end to frustration especially whith the constant nagging question: Does the I or the e go first? My mathematics is atrociouse. But that could have something to do with the fact that both my parents are professors of the subject. (Hense perhaps, my constant professor bashing in stories. I just love doing that) Another odd thing is that I was born on leap day. Which means I get to turn 4 next year. Which I am looking forward to with undisguised enthusiasm. I am also a great fan of music. I have played violin since the age of five and pianno since six. I play classicle and some contemporary music. And, as you all know, I cannot spell to save my poor soul. Can you imagine, my present condition is a million times better than it was three or four years ago. Then not even my parents could read what I wrote. Ok, enough about me!
