Get to know Michelle

What is the closest you've ever been to death?
I almost drowned a couple of times when I was younger. I never did learn how to swim even though my dad kept trying to teach me. I developed my fear of deep water when I was younger, and it has always hindered me from learning.
Dream job:
I would absolutely love to be a freelance painter, but sadly, that does not pay the bills. Hello, graphic design.
Top 5 websites:
Hmm, well, I'm always tumblin' and facebookin', I love postsecret even though some of the secrets aren't really that thrilling, I like the oatmeal, and of course, collegehumor. I'm not just saying that. Really.
What was your first ever screenname? You don't have to say it if you still use it.
I'm pretty sure that it had something to do with some sort of anime, I can't remember. I used to be obsessed with Japanese related things. But then I grew up and got into adult nerdy things like well-made vampire movies (NOT Twilight. Blech.), old films, 60's Twilight Zone, Lord of the Rings, and collecting old records. Is collecting old records nerdy? What a tangent.
What game show would you be the best on?
I don't know really. I don't store vast amounts of useless information in my head, so I would be awful on Jeopardy or Millionaire. I think I would be good at Wheel of Fortune though. I really like word games. There should be a scrabble game show. I would win... probably not.
Which canceled TV show would you bring back if you had the power?
Buh.... I would probably bring back Buffy. I used to absolutely love that show, and I always watched it with my mom. Though I'm sure that I would find it pretty cheesy now. I would also like to see ThunderCats and Voltron again.
What is the one thing you wish you could do better than anyone?
Art, definitely. I degrade my artwork so much and constantly compare it to other people's work. I want to finally be happy with my work instead of worrying about whether it is good enough or not.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Justin Timberlake and I was six years old. I had his face plastered all over my walls, and I just had to get the latest tween magazines that featured NSYNC. I even remember telling my parents that I wanted to marry him, and I legitimately thought I was going to be with him some day.
What's your greatest asset?
Physically, definitely my hips and my butt. I get the most compliments on them. But my greatest asset would have to be my intelligence, even though it does make me sound pompous sometimes.
What's your favorite article of clothing?
Any one of my cardigans or scarves. I wear them all the time. I'm actually pretty well known for wearing them. That sounds so sad.
