Hi there! I LOVE your name!! I, too, love Harry Potter, and I'm looking forward to the release of the 7th movie in November! I also hate Twilight, LOL!!

Welcome, and please join the Halloween Challenge! :D

Is it bad that I forgot I made my user name Harry Potter-y when I posted this? : P I am definitely pumped for the movie - and me and my best friend are going to the theme park on SATURDAY (!!!)... so I'm super excited.

I will definitely go check out this Halloween challenge right nowwww

The theme park??? AAUUGGHH!! I'm officially jealous!!! :(

Have fun!! And, if possible, could you take pictures? :^:

Umm YESSS of courseee!
and hopefully by then I'll be able to post pictures : P I'll make lots of regular posts in the meantime to ensure that I can
Plus when I was looking at the photos thread, I realized that I don't even think I have a full body photo of myself from anything earlier than last summer, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be a great spot for that

Coolness! :carrot:

You know, I need to post pictures of myself there, as well. I've been wanting to, but have put it off because this week has been crazy busy. Ah well, the weekend cometh!

Have a tremendous amount of fun!!

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL:
I'd like to say, "For once in my adult life, I'm happy just the way I am" because, physically, I haven't been able to say that..well...ever.

Aaaanndd, I've always had this fantasy of rocking the **** out of a stripper pole without just slowing squeaking my way to the bottom.

I'm a 35-year-old single mama of three kids whom I homeschool. I'm a lesbian with piercings and tattoos and tons of bumper stickers on my car. I'm an animal lover and run a nonprofit cat rescue that I founded (with a focus on special needs cats). I have one dog and 7 cats, and a foster dog and some foster cats.

I'm in graduate school to become a counselor, during which I intend to hold fast to my metaphysical knowledge and take counseling to a new place in my work. I attend UU and identify with many new age, pagan, Taoist, and Buddhist teachings.

I've been a single mom since January of 2005 and have packed on the pounds since. Got separated, gained weight. Got divorced, gained weight. XH became an addict and stopped paying child support, I gained weight. My mom became terminally ill, I gained weight. 3 months ago I broke my ankle, and guess what? I gained weight! That's when I passed the 300-lb mark.

It's all going to change now.
