Hellooo there!

I'm new to the forum and I only started spinning about a month ago. I'm LOVING it. Uh...that is spinning. And the forum.

I'm using the template that was posted. Cuz I like the last question.

Name: Michelle (no fancy fire-related nickname yet. Heh.)

Location: Houston, Texas USA. But don't blame ME for that.

Hometown: ditto.

DOB: 10/18/73. Yup I'm an oldie.

Age: Well, you SHOULD be able to figure that out yourself, but 31, 32 next week.

Sex: Female

Occupation(s): Graphic designer and part-time fantasy artist

Favorite Food(s): Thai. Definitly Thai. Mmmmmm green curry....

Favorite Color(s): black and red. Plaid.

Toys: Some really great rubber practice poi I ordered from primal fire. And some that I made from some interior-decorating tassles (HUMONGO sized) and some ball-chain. I made them to go with my renaissance festival outfit and they actually spin pretty darn well.

(EDITED 2007: now have some kickin' glow-poi from Renegade, and a handful of staffs (staves?) and a few hula hoops. And a beautiful pair of fire-fans with no wicks. I tried to make some flags, but they're too big and heavy. And some Crystal Styx brand flower sticks. I am officially a skill-toy addict)

Uhm...other than that, mind your own beeswax.

Hobbies other than the obvious: Fantasy art. And in the past few months I have become sugar-glider obsessed, due to my three tiny boys.

Education: Associates degree in Visual Communications. Which translated to trade school for graphic design

Favorite Book(s): Just about anything by Terry Pratchett, and the Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Favorite Movie(s): Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Die Hard (how's that for disparity?)

Favorite TV show(s): House MD, Firefly, the Sharpe series, Boston Legal

Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) I'd like to work graphic design for a while, keeping on the lower end of the totum pole so that I don't have to make it my entire life, then retire to do fantasy art and sell prints until I'm old and decrepit and THEN I'll sit on a rocking chair on my front porch, holding a shotgun over my knees and scaring the neighborhood children. See? I got it all worked out.

Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Al Stewart, Seven Nations, others that no one has heard of

Favorie ice cream flavor(s): pumpkin or honey. Thank goodness for modern ice cream!

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?

NUTELLA all the way, bay-beee. No contest. Gotta have that hazelnutty goodness.
