Books
Pretty much anything by Tolkien, Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, Laurell K. Hamilton, James Rollins and Stephen King. I also adore the Thieves World sci-fi/fantasy series, Logan's World (sequel to Logan's Run) and the Hot Blood horror anthology. Most of my reading leans towards sci-fi/fantasy, horror or history-based thrillers.
Heroes
My gramma and mom, first and foremost, and all those who do what's right instead of just what's easy.
My name is Michelle Snow and I'm a freelance journalist - web designer - photographer who loves to travel. Also rating high on my interest meter are family, friends, animals, music, movies and computers.
I always try to give second chances but will never give a third. I can handle just about anything but a person who lies to me. Also not very big on cruelty or bigotry of any kind.
I believe we were put on this earth as unique individuals for a reason and that reason isn't to bomb the hell out of each other. Though I will agree there are some people that need a really good spanking.
I believe age is just a number and I'm on a first name basis with my inner child. So play nice or she may throw a tantrum and call you a doodie-head. :p
I'll also never turn down a good tequila...ask me nicely and I may share my patented recipe for Chelle's Sit-down-ritas (bribe me and I may even share the story of why they're called that).
I'm currently the feature writer for Budget Travel at Suite101.com (as well as a contributor-at-large for the site) and the editor/writer for Las Vegas Logue. I'm also a regular contributor to Metroblogging Orlando. Upcoming projects include the soon-to-be-live Athena Guides. As if that's not enough, I'm the author of several travel guidebooks.
If you'd like to know more, check out my regular blog Zengrrl.com or my business site MrShMedia.com, where you'll find links to more of my writing, my photo portfolio and my web portfolio. I also play around with photography and you can view those shots at my Flickr account.
I'm open to job offers for writing, photography or web and graphic design. But I will NOT use my connections to write gossip or slander for any entertainment website, no matter what the salary. I prefer to deal with fact-based writing, thanks! :)
This layout was designed by me, so please don't steal it. Thanks! :)

Who I'd like to meet:
In general, I'm here to make friends (any Browncoats out there?) and possibly network with like-minded people. I like intelligent people with a great sense of humor who see the adventure in life and aren't afraid of it.
But please don't even THINK of contacting me if you tYpE lIkE tHiS or type all in IM speak. If it hurts my eyes to read it, I will hit delete.
I will also hit delete if you're just trying to sell me a home-marketing/ real estate job or some other crap like that. Take your spam and hit the road; this isn't a friendly way-station for you.
I'm also not interested in cyber pick-ups, though I am currently looking for part-time boy toys. Applications will only be accepted in the form of interpretive dance.

A Few Notes About Leaving Me Comments:
I'm pretty lenient about comments, but if all you're doing is advertising something for sale or just slapping a banner or video up, it's probably going to get deleted. I love hearing from all my friends, but please speak to me and don't just use me to sell your product.
I also will delete any image larger than 400 pixels in width, because it distorts my profile layout. See? Not so bad. ;)

What happens when you mix Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day for an internet musical??
Save the Dates! Aug, Blue Meridian returns to Orlando.. and we mean the Blue Meridian you're used to. Donovan, Manny, Dean and Kevin! We have 4 events planned, all the details can be found on our myspace, but the highlights include Aug 7th at the Back Booth w/ Mighty Joe Plum, fully loaded and electric, an acoustic send off party at the Rock Bar (formerly Central Station) and some live air time on Real Radio in between. Tell your friends... Be seeing you soon!
You may have seen this already if you've read my MySpace blog, but last week I launched a new monthly John Everson ~ Dark Arts e-Newsletter. It's a low-volume, periodic update on my new books, short stories, upcoming signings, etc.... and I'll also offer special offers and contests for signed books through the list. Since you are on my MySpace Friends list, I hope you (and any of your friends who are into horror fiction) will sign up for the newsletter on my regular website -- at www. johneverson. com/list. htm.
I like that little video u sent me...lol any way I am up late trying to catch up on the darn laundry and dishes...Chels is home sick today with a migraine..ouch! Miss you!
