i'm a fan of "Friday Night Football" - (high school, my son plays) of course, that won't be until late Aug. but spring practice has begun. quick note - GO RAIDERS maybe they'll do better this year. also, a fan of movies (son works for theatre, can get in free, plus free popcorn & drinks) mmm good.:D also like to go to car shows.

Dancing is my passion. I also love literature/literary criticism, punk rock, and random craft projects and cooking, but I have to go with dance as the one I would quit my day job for if I could.

Music. Ancient Egypt. Astronomy.

Music (making it, listening to it).
Knitting (just got back into this after a long break).
Reading travel books.
Interacting with people.

My biggest passion is my artwork. Not working allows me to spend hours in my studio playing with my paper and inks. It also is giving me the incentive to finally start my own small business. (Anyone need a Mother's day card? :) )

I also am in lurve with my camera, and spend time playing with it every day. The Hubby is teaching me some of the finer points of Photoshop, which is allowing me to make good pictures better.

The garden, both veggie and flower, and the critters. For not working, I sure am a BUSY woman!

dancing is a fine passion, Hime. What kind of dancing do you do?

I love wine and going to wineries, but April and I haven't gone to any recently. There are like 9000 of them within an hour's drive of St. Louis.

I enjoy walking, but haven't done a whole lot of that recently...I'm trying, though.

I love music...listening to it, not playing it. I'm not sure exactly how many CDs we have any more...I just bought 3 Saturday. I'm also slowly starting to build a DVD collection.

Middle Eastern dance. :) Pics and bio are on my myspace, www.myspace.com/persephonebellydance.

yay, another belly dancer! I've been doing it since 1975, but never got past intermediate. No matter--I do it for myself.

yay! :)

I've been dancing since about 2001. I'm pretty much an intermediate too.

I had a friend that was planning a belly dance school in the Baltimore area, but I don't know if she actually ever started it...I haven't talked to her in about 3 or 4 years.

I've seen it go in and out of fashion several times. It's really at an upswing now, with several very different styles being created and danced. Being a tattooed and pierced lady myself, I love the newer tribal and gothic styles. Rachel Brice is a goddess!

I've recently purchased several performance and instructional dvds.

Belly Dance Superstars at the Folies Bergere is my favorite.

music, photography, advocating for the rights of drug users, hillwalking, poker, films, comedy.

Reading - 2-3 books per week
BJs - More than reading. ;)

reading, writing, programming, fitness, and I've just been rooked into contra dancing (Glen Echo), which is so much fun I can't believe it's legal.
