DirtSquirrel

I just moved from Minneapolis to a really tiny town in Iowa. I bought a home here, and essentially starting a new chapter of my life.

I just went from being a bouncer in a really busy bar, to being a CNA in a nursing home. It's kind of the same, yet super different. Either job gives you enough experience to get a nanny job handed to you on a silver platter. lol

It's really quiet here and I've been getting into more earthy things, and appreciating nature.

I have a pirate flag on my flag pole and I lean more toward wiccan/pagan beliefs if I were to claim any religion.

I have a real problem with Christianity and I find it extremely offensive.

I love to do crafts and I have an ever changing inventory in my Etsy shop. Crafting is a real stress relief for me.

If you notice, I do have a one "1" that I have been rated. I wanted to state for the record that I actually sent out this swap. It was even mentioned that the swap was received but she didn't change my rating. Now it looks like I'm a flaky swapper, but I assure you I'm not. I take pride in the hearts that I have from people, why would I want to tarnish that?

I'm a Harry Potter FREAK! Not the character, but the book. I'm more of a fan or the villains than the heros. Severus Snape is my favorite character, followed by Hermione Granger as a close second.

Pretty much Slytherin related anything is my best friend though.

I wouldn't even care what type of swap I was involved in, if you get me as a partner and could incorporate any Slytherin/Snape thing into it, I would love you FOREVER.

Squirrels are my favorite animal. It's not really an animal, but I LOVE scarab beetles.

Pink and black are my favorite colors, but don't feel you have to stick to just those. Silver is my favorite metal though, gold does nothing for my complexion.

I LOVE Halloween stuff. Eyeballs, skulls, brains, human hearts, coffins etc.

I'm starting to really get into kawaii. I love the cute little sticker flakes, and stationary sets/memo pads. I like the food items more than the character items, but over all, it's all great in it's own way. Cupcake character/items always make me smile also.

I love Alice in Wonderland! Any character, will do! I like the creepier aspect of this wonderful world. Disney if fine, but not preferred. I'm not a huge fan of disney as a general rule, but I love pixar!

As for candy-- I'm pretty much game on anything EXCEPT for artificial strawberry and grape, and black licorice. I kind of loath them. My favorites in that area would probably be orange and peach. And chocolate of course. ;o) I've also ALWAYS wanted to try gummi fried eggs!

Please, please PLEASE no more animal stickers unless they're squirrels. (Unless they are kawaii.) If you can't avoid that, it's not that big of a deal except for cat, dog or horses. I hate them and have no use for them at all, but that's all people end up sending me. I have so many I could swim in them.

Strawberry, grape, and black licorice flavored candy.
