Hi guys, I'm Jules! :) I'm in my early 40's with a youthful spirit. I tend to be energetic and upbeat, and I try to look for the positive in each situation. That being said, I can also have a sarcastic, dark sense of humor at times. ;)

Although I tend to get bursts of energy, I also value my quiet/alone time and love to relax with a funny TV series, the Focus Group or Office Ladies podcast, or Hawk vs. Wolf; a good book/magazine, or some great music.

Currently Reading: A Carnival Of Snackery by David Sedaris

I tend to get very cozy if I'm inside for awhile (can be a major homebody), though usually as soon as I step outside I'm feelin great. I love nature and simply being outside to walk in the park or woods, practice roller skating or just goof around. I love the beach and really miss how being by the ocean makes me feel.

ocean, clouds, moon, rain; bright, multi-colors and rainbows, blue; comedy, music, dance, paper crafts, anything handmade and from the heart, paper crafts (especially small ephemera, ATCs, zines, collage, sticker craft), culture/traditions, a good story, travel and enjoying local spots, community, card/word games, roller skating, art, stickers, dark chocolate, tea (green, white, or herbal), interesting/fun stationary or ephemera, sustainable living, cooking/baking.

MEH: Disney (it's ok, I just don't collect it or get too into it), most pop music (including pop country), ribbon, feathers, glitter, sequence, food/drink that is overly sweet.
