I'm Cortney, physicist, knitter, mom, cat lady. I love old style cocktails and elephants, have tattoos, and speak in a British accent sometimes.

I found Swap-Bot last year, and then found the joys of kawaii stationery. I primarily swap that cuteness nowadays.

Music: I like 80s pop, classic rock, bluegrass, and cello music. I will also jam out to any 90s music.

Books: Stephen King and Anne Rice are my favorite authors. I mostly read novels of the horror or sci-fi/fantasy realm.

Movies: My favorite movie is, and has been for about 20 years, Interview with a Vampire. I also love anything by Tim Burton.

TV: I have tv service mostly for sports, but I do binge watch things like Friends, Top Chef, Buffy, and a fair bit of sci-fi.

E-sports: I'm a pro Dota 2 addict. I don't play, mostly because I don't want to spend the time to learn, but I watch the hell out of it.

I knit. I mean, I knit a lot. I am something of a sock addict.

I am really getting into some new paper-crafts:
