My name is Krys. I live in a small town in central Texas with my beloved 5 year old coonhound, Lucky. I love being creative and anything that is unique and thoughtful.

Ooh... tough one for a "reformed" English teacher. :)

Anything Kurt Vonnegut. I've also found I love a lot of Jodi Picoult books. And, of course, the classics. Its amazing how many classics I've never had the chance to pick up.

I love the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I love the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. It wasn't until recently that I started diving into the wild and weird books that I never thought I would love (IE "Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies").

My favorite short story? "A&P" by John Updike. I'm always in the market for a good short story compilation.

Not a really big fan of horror books. I read Stephen King a lot as a teen and I think I burned myself out on that genre early.

Then again, if it comes highly recommended...I will give anything a read.

I listen to all kinds of music. I have everything from T.I. to Chopin on my iPod. Right now I'm pretty stuck on folk (Joe Purdy, Joshua Radin, Ingrid Michaelson...).

Top three never change: 1. The Crow 2. Tank Girl 3. Boondock Saints

Other than that... anything romantic comedy or comedy.

Greek, Big Bang Theory, Lost, October Road, Reba, True Blood, Grey's Anatomy, and Friends. I love Reba just because there is a character named "Barbara Jean," which was my mother's name.

I'll try anything once or twice. I'm just now getting into ATC's and shadowbox pictures. I used to make hemp necklaces for money in college. I was such a hippie. I just bought a sewing machine in hopes of trying my hands at sewing crafts.

I love anything creative and unique. I guess that's why I gravitate to handmade stuff. Just knowing that someone put time out of their busy lives to make this thing right here... it means a lot to me. I love photography. Some day I'd love to learn how to reclaim stuff (like they do with jewelry and furniture... Have an old lawn chair? POOF it's a coffee table! Have some silverware? POOF its a bangle!)

I'm some weird combination of hippie/emo/punk/nerd. :)

I love old-school tattoo culture. I'm working on making myself a walking artform.

My favorite candy in the whole wide world is a toss-up between Giant Chewy Sweettarts and Sour Skittles.

I'm getting into tea...especially as a teacher in a cold classroom... Not a big fan of the orange blends, but I will try anything.

I love pictures. :) I love regional things. Postcards, magnets... its always fun to see where people choose to live.
