About Me

I'm a very various type of person. I'm into a lot of different things, my interests and favorites should give you a basic idea. I hope I've included the basics you may need to know for swapping with me.

It's hard to offend me and the dark, edgier things in life are more my thing rather than soft and fluffy things -- except kittens! I love cats.

Favorite Books

The Language of Mathematics, Nickel and Dimed, The Language Instinct, The Working Poor, Freakonomics, 1984, Brave New World, The Math Instinct, Maus, The Electric Meme, Diary of Anne Frank, The Ethical Slut, Godel Escher Bach, I am a Strange Loop, The Phantom Tollbooth, Spectacles, Harriet the Spy, Days of War Nights of Love, Evasion, the Ethics of Star Trek, Alice In Wonderland, the Metaphysics of Star Trek

also I've been wanting to start reading the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, but I haven't read any yet.

Favorite Movies

Tideland, Secretary, The Neverending Story, Willow, The Dark Crystal, The Shining, The House of Yes, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Labyrinth, The Goonies, Idiocracy, Silence of the Lambs, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Bound, But I'm a Cheerleader

Favorite Television

Star Trek, Skins, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, Undercover Boss, Tales from the Crypt, The Simpsons, Gossip Girl, Better Off Ted, True Blood, the Tudors, Weeds, Pee-Wee's Playhouse

Favorite Crafts

Jewelry making & beadwork, collage & paper crafts (but NOT scrapbooking in its pure sense), polymer clay, digital/graphic design

I like

Tiny plastic animals, vending machine toys, unique beads, metal charms, small random "found objects" (I seem to find charms and things everywhere), cigarette cases, lighters, pipes, and other smoking paraphernalia, rainbows and color blocking, anything black or silver, anything picturing a dragonfly, Pee-wee Herman and other cheesy 80's memorabilia, anything "novelty" that you don't find in every dollar store, satirical things

Favorite Colors

Black and red is my favorite color combo. Or just black :) Or black and white.. or black and gray... or black and anything. But I have been into rainbows and gradients and duotones and stuff lately. OK OK yes I like black, alright?

Favorite Music

This list could go on forever. Some of my favorite bands are below, but in general I like new wave, depressing indie, electronic, surf rock, doo-wop, industrial, reggae, and OLD country (from before I was born, not that new stuff).

The Smiths, Morrissey, Hall and Oates, Daft Punk, The Faint, XTC, Guster, Jump Little Children, Matisyahu, Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV nation, Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The Knife, Freezepop, Cut Copy, Justice, RJD2, Black Uhuru, Ratatat, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Talking Heads, Better than Ezra, Patty Griffin, Neko Case, Fleetwood Mac, Murder by Death, Rilo Kiley, Dolly Parton, Portishead, Delerium, Faith & the Muse, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Simon & Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, Guster, Massive Attack, Adam Ant, Billy Joel, the Ventures, Bobby Vinton, the Byrds, Dick Dale, Sizzla, Creedence

Wish List

-cool pictures or pages cut from magazines

-coloring book pages, line art

-black, metallic, and glitter patterns (fabric, ribbon, or paper)

-jewelry supplies in black, brass, antique, or gunmetal colors (things like head pins, eye pins, clasps, earwires, etc)

-unique metal charms and embellishments

-large size scrapbooking papers with abstract pattern or texture, or even solid colors are OK

-brads, eyelets, etc

-polymer clay supplies and accessories (texture sheets, tools, etc)

-unique beads or coordinated bead sets

-adhesives (glue, double stick tape, etc)

-punch/Cricut scraps! either the punchouts or the paper you had cut from is fine

-stickers! of any kind

-anything related to cats

-anything related to booze and cigarettes

-stencils

-novelty condoms (unused, of course)

-tiny jars, boxes, tins

-candy and snacks like nuts, etc

-fragranced items

-hair accessories

Please don't send

-used postage stamps

-things related to babies and children

-things related to sports, hunting, racing

-recipes

-overt religious paraphernalia (with the exception of Virgin Mary images. I like those. In fact I like anything that is satirical or blasphemous, so if you find a picture you think I could use in one of my EVIL COLLAGES go for it! Just don't send me prayers or blessings)

-holiday or birthday themed stuff

-tea, coffee, or meat

Comment: I did wait forever to rate you for this to give you time to get better and contact me, but you read my PM, never got back to me and seem to have left swap-bot. I'm still here and willing to re-rate if you want to make this up.
