LaineFace

I'm a nerdy mother of one (two if you count my husband). I go to collage full time starting in September 2011, while trying to juggle my family, a social life and work. I'm crafty and I love drawing, although that's not my focus in school.

My Daughter is 6 and she is "half boy, half girl and half cheetah," Her words not mine. She likes MLP:FiM, Angry Birds, Classic SNES mario games, transformers, Disney Princesses, Fake Mustaches (the mustache fairy comes like the tooth fairy at our house), running around outside, swimming and soccer.

I'm a giant nerd. But somethings I geek up over more then others.

Harry Potter: I'm a huge Snape/Sirius fan, and Maurader era fanfiction tickles my fancy to no end. I usually keep to DD over on Insane Journal, but I've been known to archive hop from time to time. I've got no ship wank, if you want to like Hermione/McGonagall or Harry/Ginny that's fine with me.

Avatar (TLAB and LoK): Capslock_alta on LJ is my main Haunt, so you can tell I don't take it too seriously. But man all this Legend of Korra hype has me all giddy inside. Polar Bear Dog? YES PLEASE. I don't really read fanfiction, although I fan-art the series often! Wang Fire and Iroh, all day everyday.

Venture Brothers: I hand made a henchman costume and own 21 and 24 action figures. I also go crazy and do cut outs. I have even written one really bad fanfiction.

Team Fortress 2: I play a Pyro most days. I enjoy the youtube community, and TF2chan. The more absurd the better here really. I'm not shipper her by any means.

For the most part I enjoy 90's pop and alternative music, but really I listen to anything that tickles my fancy. I also have a girl boner for fratboy rock.

Some of my current favorite bands are:
ͽ Eve 6
ͽ Our Lady Peace
ͽ Lady Gaga ͽ Ace of Base
ͽ La Bouche
ͽ They Might Be Giants
ͽ Alex Can't Sleep
ͽ Cobra Starship
ͽ Electric Six
ͽ Pulp
ͽ Merril Bainbridge
ͽ Ani DiFranco
ͽ Wolfshiem
ͽ Мумий Тролль

I'm a total Sci-Fi and Fantasy addict. Nothing greater in life then rooting through a second hand book store to find some $3 pulp novel that you know is going to be horrible, but that's half the fun! I also enjoy historical fiction.

A few books/series I enjoy are:
ͽ Duncton Wood
ͽ Earths Children (if you nix the last book)
ͽ Disc World
ͽ The Deathgate Cycle
ͽ Harry Potter
ͽ Tailchasers Song

The best show on TV right now is Hot in Cleveland, period.

Although I do watch House MD, Bones, CSI (sometimes Miami, rarely NY), Game of Thrones, Legend of the Seeker (for the lulz), NCIS, Criminal Minds, The Office, True Blood, Big Bang Theory and Breaking Bad.

I also enjoy classics such as The X-Files, Xena: Warrior Princess, Third Rock from the Sun, Scrubs and many others.

I love drawing and crafting although I don't stamp/scrap/knit/quilt.

I used to trade ATC's back in high school, and thanks to swap-bot I've rediscovered them! I have a badge-a-minit button press and doing custom pins has kept me busy for the past four years. Generally 1.25", but I also on occasion do 2.25" ones as well. Every couple years I go through a macrame and beading phase and hemp necklaces and bracelets just appear all over my house.

Most of the time though I draw and colour anthros, animals and fandom pictures. I use Copics/Prisma color Markers primarily, but I also water colour, or use pencil crayons when the mood takes me. Right now I favor recycled paper (the brown stuff with the fibers), but usually I use Borden and Riley Marker paper. For inking Faber-Castell and Micron are my first choices, but I also find myself using Staedtler and more rarely Uniball pens.

I also like painting Munnys. Mini's are the best~!

Art of any of my fandoms, exotic teas, scented candles, incense (stick or cone!), ATC's, Zines, found objects, thrift store finds, crazy shirts, Cats, Squids, Squittens (squid kittens), Chickadees, pin back buttons and most of all SURPRISES!

Something extra for my daughter is always nice too! She loves getting little things.

Number One here is Nuts! My daughter is nut free, and it's just easier not to send anything that contains them.

Other then that, I prefer not to get creams, scrap-booking materials (they will get used, but not by me!), earrings (my ears aren't pierced and neither are my daughters) or Matcha.
