I study to be a singing teacher; I love music. Most of my spare time goes to dancing lindy hop (a swing dance, also known as jitterbug), which I also teach, or jazz. And I like Jesus, reading, photographing, ice cream, writing letters, making collages and watching movies.

(And if anyone wonders about my address ... That's how we do it here. Number before city, no comma in between. Ok? :))

Jazz (modern as well as old swing, singer/ songwriter, indie rock, classical, electronic (if it's soft and smooth), emo. Right now I listen a lot to Steget, Monica Zetterlund, Keith Jarrett, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Ella Fitzgerald and Sigur Rós.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Closer, Magnolia, Almost Famous, Pride & Prejudice, Truman Show. But also sweet romantic drivel such as Sliding Doors, Shooting Fish, Just Like Heaven and Elizabethtown.

Paper crafts, mostly collage, cards, envelopes (love writing letters!) and mini-books. I adore my bind-it-all. :)

I like anything colorful! The brighter the colors the better. I'm not too fond of "cute" patterns with pastels and roses, but love swirls and dots.

I like lace of all colors and sizes, journal spots, all kinds of labels and tags (yes, the ordinary kind bought at the ordinary office store too), 50s & 60s patterns, rub-ons, alphabet stickers, ephemera of any kind (specially bus and train tickets) and vintage ads.

Paper scraps - I love them. Well - anything paper related really; stationary, note cards, letter sets ...

Round flat earrings, stamps and ink pads, used bus and train tickets from your city, tote bags, beads, mix CD's (see above for favorite music - but I'm open to new stuff, too), anything with bright colors, rub-ons, feminist, Christian or queer related stuff are other things that are likely to make me happy.

Yarn, buttons, cooking-related things. I don't use makeup. Anything that could be considered "girly" or "feminine" gives me the creeps. If it could be considered only "childish" though - like kawaii - I like it in small quantities. :)

I don't drink tea or coffee; I don't smoke or drink alcohol.
