About Me

I am 22 just graduated from college and working full-time at a restaurant for a while to save money before starting up school at the Waldorf Training Institute.

I love to do all kinds of crafts, I just completed my very first quilt and cannot wait to make many many more. I like paper crafts and sewing, not too big of a knitter but I know how.

I am vegetarian but I also eat seafood. I really like tea, beer and wine.

I also am in my first quilt swap and first swap on here and am loving the concept of these.

Likes

ribbon
buttons
crossword puzzles
glass jars to keep things in
fabric
pins
birds (especially peacocks and owls)
modern (i.e. trendy) womens sewing patterns
tribal art, well all art
vintage/antique most anything
tea and all things tea related
hand blown glass beads
champagne flutes
board games (pretty involved games like night of the living dead, arkam horror and tales of Arabian nights kind of thing)

Dislikes

kitschy stuff isn't really for me
velvet
coconut
hello kitty

Colors and other things

I really like greens and blues and browns. nothing too bright but deeper shades of those I suppose.

I am crazy about wood and natural elements used in crafting, the look of these with metal or crystal is really neat.

I don't like velvet - I think it feels awful.

I celebrate all traditional US holidays in a pretty non-religious way.

I will not eat food that you made, unless I get to know and trust you. Sorry.

Favorite Books

I like sci-fi and fantasy a lot. Michael Cunningham is my favorite author, he is amazing.

Right now I am really into memoirs about personal journeys. I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and loved it, fell in love with the fact that people actually make effort to try things that seem impossible. In this same category I like to read about people who have gone through or are going through something really tough like being homeless, or having a rare disease.

I also like authors who really defy genre like Richard Brautigan.

Favorite Music

I love classic rock.
I also like female vocalists and modern jazzy music.
Most anything really except country music and R&B and radio rap.

Favorite Television

Lets see I like most any shows. But I will just list what I am currently following,

Dexter
Grey's Anatomy
Weeds
Fringe
Flash Forward
Dollhouse --> Anything by Joss Whedon is awesome!
The Forgotten -- Even though I think it is seriously lame.
Modern Family
Community
Glee
Trauma
Lie to Me
House

Favorite Movies

Top 5... (truthfully only the top two stay consistent)

1) Harold and Maude
2) Love Actually
3) A Lot Like Love
4) The Italian Job
5) Saved

I love Science Fiction films, foreign, anything indie I am willing to give a chance, and I like food documentaries.

Interests

Quilting
Sewing
Fabric..of course
Photography
Waldorf Education
Vegetarianism
Paper Crafts
Screen Printing
Bio-dynamic Farming
Communal Living
Crossword Puzzles
Doodles
Books, Movies, Music..etc.

Comment: thanks for the charms...and the cool card.
Response: I was hoping you would like that. I love those things but when I want to use them it always seems like the wrong occasion - this fit so perfectly because there wasn't really a special occasion.
