I'm Ginger. Most I'm friendly with know me as Gingie or something like that. I was born in Athens, GA, and grew up in Elberton, GA. Now I live in Athens again with my husband, Barry, and my son, Lochlainn. We live a very quiet life.

You want more?

• work: Office of the Clerk of Courts, Athens-Clarke County Unified Government. My motto: "I work. Hard."
  The Rules, in brief:
  • The files do not leave the Office of the Clerk unless accompanied by a court clerk or some other official person.
  • You may play music at your desk, provided that only you can hear it.
  • No strappy tops and no jeans.
  • If there is a place for the judge to sign and he has not, do NOT stamp it in. And watch your fingers when you stamp.
  • The case searchers are paid to look up stuff. They're supposed to know what they are doing, even the crotchety ones.
  • Do not adjust the thermostat.
  • You must have a Final Dispo! Final Dispo!
  
  
• age: 27ish.
  
  
• hobbies:
  • painting, artistically. Mostly bizarre cats. Sort of folksy/primitive/untrained.
  • sewing. I pride myself on the fact that I can whip just about anything up on the machine. Whether or not I'll actually wear it is a different story.
  • I have refinished furniture, dyed clothes, reupholstered chairs, and I took a metalworking/jewelry design class with my mom. (I only banged my finger with the hammer once, and only burned myself with molten silver once. I'm so proud.)
  • I like to garden as well, but I'm just getting started seriously. I also try desperately to compost. I think my heap is too dry... And the neighbor's cat keeps eating out of it.
  • In the past, my main hobby was dying my hair funky colors, but I'm much too matronly & mundane for that now. *ahem* I now stay cutting-edge by cutting my own hair. A dangerous hobby.
  • Genealogy. I am what you might call a buff. I am the lazy sort, though - one of the scoundrels who allows other people to do all the work and then glean what I need. History is cool, even when you uncover gnarly facts about YOUR ancestors.
  
  
• t.v.:
  • I like (what Barry calls) "sweeping epics" (i.e. Masterpiece Theatre).
  • Confession: I like mindless tv. Passions, Buffy & Charmed. A little escape from reality after a day at the Clerk's office is not a bad thing. I wish I could stop time with the wave of a hand.
  • Friends.
  • Nature shows. Just no violence stemming from the natural order of things, please.
  • Now that we have the supremo digital cable package, I'm really digging Sundance and IFC.
  • Bob the Builder. YES WE CAN! OK that's just Loch.
  
  
• movies: Haven't seen much lately, as we are thrifty and the troll keeps us locked in the house each night.
  • Good movies seen lately: Monsters, Inc., Boys Don't Cry, Harry Potter.
  • Sneakers, with Robert Redford. An old favorite.
  • Bringing Up Baby starring Katherine Hepburn & Cary Grant "Jimmy tha Rippa, see?"
  • Philadelphia Story, ditto. "My, she was yar!"
  
  
• music: gets its own page here.
  
  
• books: Like I have time to read... but here are a few old-time favorites.
  • To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee
  • The Color Purple, Alice Walker
  
  
• these are a few of my favorite things:
  • Burt's Bees products (except the coconutty-smelling stuff).
  • My Cuisinart food processor.
  • Benadryl.
  • Dried Fruit... papaya, pineapple & mango.
  • Herbal teas. AKA hot flavored water.
  • Sparkly Eyeshadow.
  • Pants & jeans with flared legs. & Funky shoes.
  • Retro prints.
  • Milk Chocolate. With skim milk. How's about a little premenstrual endorphin rush? Ahh. Must have chocolate. M&Ms. Hershey's. Lindt. Reese. Snickers. Kre. Cho Co Late.
  
  
• interesting things about me:
  • I'm a weather psychic, a super-taster, and am double-jointed.
  • I got a pacemaker when I was 23, after spending a week in a dizzy funk and an episode of banging into a wall on my way to the floor.
  • I have one thumb that will hyper-extend. The other I sliced open in 1993, and well, it doesn't move much at all.
  • I love pickles, pepperoncinis, pickled jalopenos, sauerkraut and greek olives. Guess it's a biological need to counter-act some of my sweetness!?! Uh-Huh.
  • I like to dance and sing, but only in front of those people who can't disown me.
  • I make pizza from scratch. My own sauce and hand-smooshed dough. The only thing I don't make are the olives and the cheese.
  • I have a recurring dream of coins. In it, I am walking along outside and suddenly come upon a place with many silver coins littering the ground. I bend and try to pick them all up, but there are too many and I have nothing to put them in.
