! intro, squeaky

Hello new friends! (Old friends, too?) I am Squeaky, and reading the contact page, I don't think I recognize any names. I am 31 and I live in Boise, Idaho. I am a professional dial tone. At least that's what the boss calls us. What I do is I do one-way transcription of phone calls for the hard-of-hearing, they talk on the phone to a friend, I supply closed captioning of what the friend says. It's pretty neat work most of the time. I am a hobbyist photographer and a World of Warcraft/Star Wars: The Old Republic addict. I will talk forever about my cats, so you've been warned (Salem is 12 and he's diabetic and grumpy, Binx is four and she's a spaz that I've had since she was a tiny baby, and they're both black and I love them.)

So! Taryn Howard is a school librarian in Hogsmeade, she's sort of quiet and keeps to herself, but she's got opinions about things. She was a seventh year Hufflepuff when the Twiwizard Tournament came to town, and as Heather already said, met the man of her dreams in History of Magic class (even though at the time she wanted to hit him with a book.) Speaking of books, they're her favorite thing in the world, she always has one on her person, and spends all her free time absorbed in them. She's Muggleborn, and, again as Heather said, spent the second war in Russia, hiding from the Muggleborn Registration thingie.

Um. I think that's everything about her for now. She needs friends and things, so throw them at me!

My AIM is WhereDoAngelsGo, so feel free to hit me up there. If I don't respond, it's because I'm on the call floor (cell phones aren't allowed for privacy reasons, but IJ is TOTALLY cool between calls), or you could email me/comment, that's a faster way to reach me.

GLAD TO BE HERE. :D

Plot with meeeeeeeee.

Hey Squeaky! I'm Alison. Your job sounds cool. Like, helping people without being too stressful. I'm a social worker, so I'm helping people, but they don't think I'm helpful and don't want to be helped, and a lot of them hate me, and it's incredibly stressful! Fun times. I also have a cat. She is called Beanie and she is new - not a kitten, but new to me. She's a calico and is very sweet and playful but her last home wasn't great so she is kind of weird and a real scaredy-cat. You can follow my adventures at my CDJ

fuckyeahbadgers.

If you think Patricia is crazy, wait till you see my roster: 15 characters and counting (I have another app in the works for Rachel Cooper). This is split over several intros if you want to check them out from the links.

Glenys

Glenys Smith Um. I think honestly, Taryn and Glenys need to be besties. I see no other option, sorry. I mean, they're dorm-mates, and they're stupidly nice, and they're Welsh, and they love children, and they're tall, and they're hard-working, and nurturing, and they grew up on farms. They're like pureblood/muggle-born, outgoing/quiet, practical/bookish twins.

Myron

Myron Wagtail says hey babe. He also loves books, but that's probably the only thing they have in common. Oh, wait! She worked at Flourish and Blotts, so will probably know him from that. Myron is Zoe's big bro.

Sally

Sally Spinks - I don't see much there, unless Taryn buys clothes in Sally's posh store. They were only a year apart in school, though, so they may recognise each other.

Lee and Yakov

Lee Jordan - my Lee intro there is a bit sparse, isn't it? Okay, so Lee is a big juicy enabler. He's not so much the one doing the pranks as the one offering suggestions and saying go onnn doooo ittttttt, hence his username. He loves Quidditch, and music, and spiders, and pretty girls, especially pretty girls who play Quidditch. Taryn is a pretty girl but I doubt she'd stand out particularly for him. She'll probably know who he is but they probably don't really know each other.

Yakov Poliakoff is friends with Maks, so they will definitely know each other! It's not in his intro there, but Yakov is a Russian Jew. He is currently living with Quentin Baddock, because Quentin lets him, and is between jobs, because Quentin lets him eat all his food. He's basically Quentin's pet at this point. I'm sure he will have stayed with Ivan at various points as well. He kind of bounces about to wherever people will let him.

Barney, Luke, Mel and Valentina

Valentina Moretti was another triwizard person, but from Beauxbatons. She's very shy, so they probably didn't really talk in classes etc. Now though, she works as an interpreter, so may end up becoming friendly with Maks, and then they might encounter each other. I think they'd get on pretty well.

Luke Hammonds was in her year and is also muggle-born, so they could be friendly? Update from his intro, he now lives with Sean Ackerley. He likes books too, but mainly sci-fi and fantasy.

Barney Dunstan is also in Hufflepuff, the year below. He'll be friendly. Again, he grew up on a farm, although it's used for breeding owls.

Mel Pennyfeather will also be friendly. She is a colleague of Maks because she works for the ICW, so they could know each other that way?

My job is pretty great, there's just very little (as in it's only happened once in almost three years) personal thanks from customers, and it's full of racists, but I do get a nice fuzzy feeling from helping people. And I get to watch Netflix between calls, so there's that :P

Glenys! Yes, bffs. Also, Taryn's little sister is named Glynne, so that's a thing. Um, how does Glenys feel about being maid of honor??!?!

Myron. She'd roll her eyes and remind him she's taken, thank you.

Sally. Recognizing is good.

Lee. Sounds good. We'll talk more about him when George cooperates. Ugh, he's lame. I've got about a million bios of his spread over three journals, and I just need to cobble the info together into a new bio that fits with this world, and I'm just freaking lazy.

Yakov. A friend of Maks's is a friend of hers, and Taryn would probably take it upon herself to want to help him get his feet. Whether he wants her to or not, heh.

Valentina. That sounds nice :) I don't know if Heather said, but I've got a Fleur kicking around my brains, so that could be a thing, but I should stop getting ahead of myself!

Luke. Friendly is good!!

Barney. Yeah, but there's got to be some solidarity there.

Mel. Sounds good!

Ah yes, I can imagine there could be a lot of racists around :-(

Glenys is totally down with being maid of honour! Now is the time I admit to having boards on pinterest for all of my characters' weddings, so you can tell I like imaginary weddings!

Aww George, I know the feeling when you have a bunch of bios, none of which will quite do on their own.

Yakov does not really want to be helped to his feet, but he is good-natured and if resisting is more effort than doing, she may have some success.

Ooh yes, Valentina would like to see Fleur around. She's the only Beauxbatons girl at present.
