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.

Ah, music, a magic above all that we do here. (or something to that effect.) I also try my hands at music every once and a while and usually fail miserably, though I have fun in my attempts. I'm sure you lead a very interesting life, and if you didn't before, you will now that you are a full fledged ferret!!!
