As tempting as it is to do an interpretive dance to this, I guess answering the questions is more practical...
Name: Michelle a.k.a. MzHartz (as in Mizz Heartz) a.k.a. Em Zee (a nickname given to me from friends who misinterpreted the MzHartz)
Location: Bloomington, Indiana, USA
Hometown: Northern Indiana
Birthday (sign?): Cancer, July 16th
Age: 32
Sex: Female
Occupation(s): Graphic Designer
Favorite Food(s): ice cream, seafood, wine and cocktails
Favorite Color(s): black, hot pink, sage green (at the moment, anyway)
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? 42
Toys: Rice in a sock, belly dance sword, tai chi sword, tai chi staff
Hobbies other than the obvious: Belly dancing. Writing; I've self-published 2 books, Helpless (a horror novel set on a wind farm) and Brains for the Zombie Soul. I'm working on releasing my 3rd as a book and an audiobook, The Three Zombies and Other Undead Fairytales. I'm also a municipal liaison (community organizer) for National Novel Writing Month. Music, I used to be a co-owner of an internet radio station called Freeze Frame Radio. I was also the host of the Weird Newz with MzHartz program. I'm also a crafter and seamstress, and a video and board gamer. I'm always up to something, so I'm sure I've left something out.
Education: Some college. I chose my job over school, which ended up working out well for me.
Favorite Book(s): The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. The Jhereg series by Steven Brust. The Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Favorite Movie(s): The Lord of the Rings, Labyrinth, found., Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dune and Children of Dune, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Lost in Translation
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? It doesn't matter, as long as you have your towel.
Favorite TV show(s): Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Star Trek TNG, Torchwood, Sherlock, Inspector Lewis
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) While I'm not nearly as afraid of death as I should be (item #1 on my bucket list involves jumping from a perfectly good airplane), I'm more afraid that I won't be able to do and try everything I want to.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: That 1 Guy, David Bowie, Sting, Led Zeppelin, Matchbox 20, Robert Plant, Roger Waters, Pink Floyd, John Paul Jones, Aerosmith, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Stanley Clark, Sun Ra, bad 80's music, jazz standards, funky jazz, blues-inspired rock... Just about anything, although my least favorite musical genre is country.
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Yes, isn't that fantastic!
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): chocolate, Everything But The..., mint chocolate chip, birthday cake ice cream, etc. See "favorite foods" above.
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Nutella. Admittedly, I've never tried marmite or vegemite, but how in the world can anything beat Nutella?
I took a poi class at a belly dance workshop last weekend and fell in love with it. If you take a look at my hobbies above, it might be obvious that I'm not a try-it-casually type person. I'm mostly interested in working with veil poi and perhaps some LED to incorporate with belly dance gigs.
