*PX*dstall

Team name: *PX*dstall
Real name: Denise
Birthday: August 15
Where I live: San Antonio, Texas ( in an old house built in 1910's) home of chile rellenos, the Spurs (no, I have no interest in all that), the RiverWalk.
About my family: Son Cory, 27, a musician in Austin. Married 29 years. Chuck is a salesman and is writing a mystery novel. My husband plays acro, but I won't tell you who he is as he can be something of a grump in the chat room!
My pets: Chee, an extremely loving but neurotic little 1 1/2 years old Sheltie that I am insanely in love with. He is quite beautiful, but has been a challenge! (He won't go outside if a squirrel or cat is in sight). My first sheltie, Sam, went to the rainbow bridge at the age of 13 last year -- I still miss him every day.
My job: I'm a freelance writer -- all kinds of writing, fiction for children's achievement tests, public relations, newspaper and magazine. I also edit for doctors at a medical school and teach them to write. I teach fiction writing, too.
Favorite color(s): deep purple
Favorite book(s): Anything by Ursula LeGuinn or John Irving, Ordinary People, Watership Down.
Favorite movie(s): Though I can't explain why, Moonstruck is my favorite; also Raising Arizona and Say Anything.
Favorite song(s): Mercy Street by Peter Gabriel, Graceland by Paul Simon, Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Favorite celebrities: Um . . . can't think of any.
Favorite sport/athlete: Meditative Dancing
Favorite animated character: Tasmanian Devil
Favorite acro category: I really prefer General, (sorry, but it's true) especially on 6 & 7 letters. I like made-up couch topics.
My least favorite acro category: Sports, definitely. I also loathe Austin Powers!
If I ever meet Acrobot in a dark alley I will: Boot him in return for past boots; but thank him for giving us acro.
If I were a wild animal I would be: A dancing bear because (unfortunately) the body type is similar (not the amount of body hair though!) and because I love dancing, and loved Captain Kangaroo's Dancing Bear when I was a child.
If I were a farm animal I would be: A farmyard cat because I have always wanted to be covered with fur and drink cream and hide in the hayloft.
I want my team mates to know and remember this about me: I approached everything with passion and had no regrets. I am easygoing, especially when playing acro; but I'd rather not see acros that use the word "cuddling".
I hope my team mates never find out about this: Why on earth would I tell you that here? Oh, OK. I hope they never find out that I'd be finished with my novel by now if I hadn't gotten hooked on acro.
