Me, me, me...all about me!!

member of Swap-Bot since March 3, 2007!

vp vp

us This me and my hubby the day after he graduated from the Police Academy, June 20, 2008!

My name is Mikki! I am a 31 year old married mom of 3 kids....ages 15, 6 and 2 years. Married for 8 years. Currently living in Montgomery, Alabama. But I am originally from Louisiana. Yes, I am 100% Cajun. I can't define myself as a person, but I guess if I HAD to, it would be emo-goth-punk-rockabilly. I love most things punk, goth, horror, etc. I'm really not a girly-girl. I prefer comfy t-shirts and jeans. But I do dress up every now and again!!!

I am a S@HM, a fabric artist and a vampirologist! I am a member of The Vampire Empire, which puts me free in the Int'l Frankenstein Society. I'm also part of the Universal Monster Army.

I am a very shy person, thus making it very hard for me to talk to people I don't know in real life. More often than not, I leave the impression that I am a snob or a bitch or a snobby bitch. I'm not a snob, but I can be a bitch! I miss being a brunette, but I don't have the patience to let the black grow out. I can be very sarcastic, but in a serious way that people don't realize it. I've spent the better part of the past 10 years trying to figure out where my religious path lies. After years of not believing I started believing in Jesus, but I am not a Christian. I am the oldest of 4 children and back in high school, I was the only person among friends who's parents were still married. I dislike people who are rude, pretentious or otherwise stupid in general. You are human just like me and no better than I am. I believe that all humans are equal, no matter where the live, the color of their skin, sex, sexual orientation, etc etc. We all bleed red, thus making no one better than the other. I am pro-choice, pro-womyn, pro-gay marriage, pro-vagina, pro-guns, pro-Earth, anti-War, anti-Bush, pro-troops. I refuse to argue politics or religion with anyone..

I am also at a point in my life where I no longer let other people bother me. You can say what you want to say, but I know me better than you. And I refuse to let other people bring me down. I only try to do the right things. I have no reason to lie about anything or anyone...it get's me no where. I also have no reason to cheat or steal. My love for life, my children, my husband and the rest of my family keeps me going. I need nothing else. So a few words coming from some I don't know and never met mean nothing to me when they carry ill will or intent. mikki

Stuff I do..because I can!

bar

I am a fabric artist! I won't say sewer because it makes me think of toilet! I make quilts and clothes mainly. I've finally been able to take up crocheting again!!! YAY Some of my sewing work can be seen on my Flickr account.

I've also recently started making jewelry..mainly necklaces. And hair bows. These can be seen in my Etsy shop!

I would love to be able to start on different crafts again, but just can't seem to do it. I used to do matchboxes and ATCs, but I ran out of creativity for it. Just not my bag baby!

I would LOVE to learn to filet crochet. If anyone has any tips they'd like to share with me, please let me know!!!

I'd love to be able to do glue books!! I just learned about these! So I would love any tips, tricks, ideas and supplies!!! ~lol~

I don't wear "normal" jewelry. I love funky stuff!! I don't wear "normal" earrings as I have them at a 2g. I also don't wear anything in my hair..no barrettes, etc.

Candy: I love chocolate..any kind. I prefer non-mainstream chocolate. (i.e. stuff you can get anywhere) But it's all good! I love Pocky and Hello Panda. I would love to try Tim Tams, Happy Hippos, and Kinder Eggs.

And after getting Hello Kitty toaster I asked for for Christmas, I'm afraid I'm going to have to admit that I do like Hello Kitty!! I just don't want to go overboard with it!! Jewelry, eats, fabric, etc is fine. But no paper products.

I love Community Coffee. Right now, I am drinking New Orleans Blend® Coffee and Chicory. I am from Louisiana, so I'm going to drink Louisiana coffee!! I am able to buy it locally!! I like most any coffee except for decaf and hazelnut flavored!! yuck I also drink tea..regular Lipton sweet tea and flavored teas also. My all time favorite tea is Tazo Zen and a spice chai. But I enjoy most all flavors.

I would also like to try some Butterfinger Hot chocolate and other flavored ones like that!!
