Well, I suppose if you're reading this, you must
want some sort of answer to the question "who is Zoni?"
The short answer is that I'm just a person that
enjoys playing with the computer and figured "hey, why not have a
website...everyone else does!" The long answer is, well, long.
I'm a mom of two (one boy, one
girl) and sufficently nerdy. I love television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the series, Monk, Dead Zone, etc. I enjoy going to the occassional
convention and snapping photos of famous personalities so I can put them up on my
website. I'm a big reader, mainly stuff along the lines of Terry Brooks,
Anne Bishop and the like...but I love the printed word and will attempt to try
out almost any genre. My "causes" include postpartum mood disorders, early
onset bipolar disorder, fibromyalgia and size acceptance. I enjoy all
sorts of creative expressions, from artistic endeavors with my computer
software, to crafting, to sewing, and will attempt at least once just about any
form of artsy-craftsy project. I also would enjoy being a writer, and have
actually gotten a large portion of a romance novel on paper...but I'm not overly
confident in my writing skills, nor do I have the time at the moment to work on
the novel.
I plan to go back to school at some point. My hope is to become a counselor, focusing on
women's issues of self-esteem, postpartum mood disorders and the like.
Ultimately I just enjoy helping others and trying to spread a smile or two along
the way.
The name "Zoni" is a shortened form of the only
online name I've ever used...AmAzOn. Essentially, I got a computer in
order to talk with other Hercules and Xena fans. Being computer illiterate
and more than a little intimidated, my ever so creative mind came up with the
name amazon. The official forums for those shows were case-sensitive, so I
goofed around a bit with the capital and lowercase options and VOILA! A
lot of people I've since met from online call me Zoni, although they generally
pronounce it with an "ah" sound, while I pronounce it as though it rhymes with
"macaroni."
So, there's
the long and the short of the burning question "who is Zoni?" Gee, aren't
you glad you
asked?!
