Gah.  Hale is my real last name.  The jokes where people use the spelling
hail get old really fast.  I went to a catholic elementry school until about
fifth grade and I remember being teasted by my classmates who would rewrite
the Hail Mary as a form of saterization.  "Hale Laura."

As for the name I go by on-line, Michela is derived from Micheal (As is my
middle name, Michelle.  That was intentional.)  and means "of God" if I
remember correctly.  Ecks, I have no clue but I chose it since I pronounce
it X and that letter has a lot of interesting conotations...
