About Me

About me...hmmm where to start. Well I work and live in Boston. I love New England and could never live somewhere that didn't have four seasons. I work with local homeless women and other human service programs( like mentally ill and mentally disable). I spend any spare time with my pets (cat, dog, rat, turtle, rabbit and a bird) but my very needy dachshund takes up most of my time.

Dis-Likes

  • Twilight series ( love vampires but just not these one)
  • monkey/gorillas/larger primates (they creep me out, I don't know why cause I'm the biggest animal lover)
  • sugar cookie scents(LOVE cookies but I don't want a candle to smell like them)
  • No kawaii stuff, and I LOVE Chococat but I'm not a big fan of Hello Kitty. So, please no Hello Kitty or other HK like stuff.
  • I have an allergy to kiwis so please no kiwi flavored food.

Movie/TV

  • almost any movie by Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli productions
  • The Last Unicorn
  • Tim Burton movies
  • Bob's Burger
  • Coraline
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Secretary

Favorite Books

  • Battle Royal and Ring series (I like Japanese authors).
  • Neverending Story is by far my most favorite book of all time.
  • The Last Unicorn
  • Ever World Series
  • Holly Black's, Melissa Marr's and Julie Kagawa's books
  • Harry Potter Series
  • Faerie themed books. Sadly, most of the ones I like are for children but :P
  • Short stories, mythology, fairy tales and fables. I really prefer fables over anything else but I just enjoy anything that's whimsical and grim at the same time. The Redshoes is one of my favorites but I also enjoy Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. I don't mind film adaptations of fairy tales but I prefer when they keep close to the original tale (no disney).Like faeries are often depicted as these innocent and helpful sprites when it truth they use to be feared.

other swap info...

  • I'm a NON-smoker but I do own pets
  • I reuse boxes and packages for shipping
  • I'm not on-line everyday, I try and get to the computer every other day, so if I don't rate you or msg. you right away that would be why
  • Please no food (only store bought packaged teas and candy)
  • I'm not a super shrewd, I like the odd and weird and I'm not offended by language. But I don't like( or want) any realistic pictures depicting hurt/abused/starved animals. If for what ever reason something like this is sent to me, I might contact you first but most likely just give you a 3. I'm a very fair rater, don't get me wrong, I just can not tolerate animal abuse/neglect.

Crafts I make...

I do a lot of beading, jewelry work, painting/drawing and paper crafts. I LOVE origami but I've also gotten into ATCs and Inchies lately. I do sew but not much as I do all sewing by hand. Also I can crochet but I hate knitting. Though I know some, I would love to learn more Japanese crafts; like beading animals shapes, paper crafts and sm. plushies. If you know any good patterns please let me know :)

Swapping wishes...

  • ATCs
  • hand writen letters/pen pals
  • vegan recipes
  • art/prints
  • dotees
  • Get Fuzzy and Mutts comics strips (I don't get the news paper but I LOVE theses two)
  • zines.
  • My knitting isn't very strong (I only sew by hand and I hate knitting) so I'd love to swap for knitted items

Waiting...

Comment: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree that in reference to the books the movie was not that great. I think on its own- it was decent entertainment.

Comment: I really appreciate your review and deep down i do agree, I think i just stopped wanting them to be as good as the books many movies ago. The lack of depth and emotion is devastating when you live it through the books, it seems blasphemous. Thanks for sharing the love of harry xxx

Comment: Hi! I loved reading your views on the movie! You go girl! Since I have not read the books, I really can't comment much about things being rushed or not - but like you, I will watch it again as I really enjoy the movies and may have to give the books a try as well! Thanks so much for the great share! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: I absolutely LOVE this card, love your style, (cute Dachshund stamp on the envie, too), thank you, one of my faves & going to the infamous wall of my favorite framed ATCs from around the world. ^_^
Response: I'm so glad you like it. I was really worried. Like I said in the note I had never worked with those pens befor and was having some trouble with them. I prefer to just use acrylics but I try not to use the same medium over and over again. Thanks you so much :) I'm glad you like it.
