  • Johnny Cash
  • Camera Obscura
  • Patty Griffin
  • Jack Off Jill

Favorite Movies

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Kill Bill (both)
  • Frankie and Johnny

  • I'm apparently a sucker for an unconventional love story.

Favorite Books

  • Ethan Frome
  • Perks of Being a Wallflower
  • The Awakening
  • The Prince
  • The Art of War
  • Bread and Jam for Frances
  • I love books. I like the way they smell, the way they feel in my hands, and the way they capture my imagination. I love collections of short stories especially.

Favorite Crafts

Sewing and Embroidery - I'm am rather new to both but very excited about them.

Favorite Television

  • Mr. Rogers
  • Mythbusters
  • Man Vs. Wild
  • Project Runway
  • Sunrise Earth
  • Oz
  • Queer As Folk
  • I'll say it - I love TV. And I refuse to be ashamed of it.

About Me

I'm a married mother of two and a full time college student. My boys are 14 and 4 and keep me very busy. I live at least 900 miles from the rest of my tiny family and most of my friends so I spend a lot of time catching up with them online.

I am majoring in geology - meaning that I study rocks and sediment (aka dirt). I don't dig for fossils (common misconception). Before that I was a fine arts major. I love anything having to do with the earth and rocks and minerals but am still (for my field) unusually girly. I love makeup. I love pink. I adore hello kitty (though I wouldn't wear hello kitty clothing or jewelry).

I love to laugh and have a strange sense of humor. If it is off color, corny, or horrible I am probably laughing. One of the blessings of being surrounded by boys, I guess.

I'm always grateful for anything that someone puts the energy into doing for me - big or small.

I love color and if I had to pick a favorite it would be green. I have a green backpack, green coat, green pencil case, and so on - I am drawn to fresh, grassy green. I also love aqua, candy pink, lavender, grey, and blue.

I collect old costume jewelry, perfume and children's books. I enjoy learning about the different notes of fragrances and will take any and all samples that come my way. My favorite scents are clean(without being aquatic) or warm (without too much amber)

I don't want to make this section too long and will probably improve upon it - I'm always excited to swap (have done quite a bit at another site) and will be thrilled with anything that you are kind enough to share with me.

Things I like

  • pressed glass (think glass doorknobs
  • candy
  • crayons
  • kawaii (anything, especially fabric)
  • chocolate
  • cupcakes! (on stickers, fabric, etc)
  • pastels
  • bento boxes (and cute supplies for them)
  • craft supplies (pompoms, glitter..)
  • fabric
  • short stories
  • sharpie markers
  • paper and blank cards
  • vintage cookbooks
  • vintage costume jewelry
  • perfume samples
  • something unique to your area
  • mixed cds
  • old photographs
  • hair elastics
  • flavored coffee and tea
  • blankets
  • floral embroidery
  • pens
  • lipgloss/balm in light pinks & nudes
  • wrapping paper/supplies
  • coloring books
  • vintage dress patterns
  • frames
  • letters
  • mismatched china

Things I don't like:

  • country or southwest decor
  • potpourri
  • water chestnuts
  • stubbing my toes
  • fanatics (on either side)
  • attempting to fill out profiles
  • the sound of two dry paper towels rubbing against eachother.

Comment: Your envelope arrived, but the post office apparently chewed it all up, so I have no idea what was inside. But I know that you sent me something, since I have part of the envelope, so I can rate you as having sent it to me.
