JIanBoutique on Aug 5, 2009: ********NOTICE!!!!*********** HI it's me JILLIAN! JIanBoutique

Just to let everyone know, I'd been in an accident. I couldn't really move or walk until recently. I have nerve damage from the back of my head running down my entire left side. All of my muscles were in constant spasm. I haven't been home for a while. I recently mailed out any swaps I hadn't fulfilled. I also finally posted any ratings I hadn't taken care of. If anyone has any questions or comments please send me a message! I had be happy to try and work something out with you to make up for the issue! I sincerely apologize for any delay and frustration this may have caused. Jillian

My Name is Jillian. I am 29 and live in New Haven CT. I have a small business called Paper Fooey. I am also engaged to a great guy named Robert. We're currently saving to buy a condo.

I love swapping! I think this will be a great way for me to come across new supplies, great music, and new people!

I love making things. Right now I have an Etsy shop for my paper crafts. I am currently working on a Paper Fooey website.

When it comes to my personal taste I tend to go one extreme or the other. Example, I love bright colorful things. Big fan of Amy Butler patterns. But I also like muted colors - earth tones, whites, natural. My style is a mix of natural, muted, vintage and fun color.

Elvis Costello Belle & Sebastian Camera Obscura Pearl Jam Janis Joplin Madonna indie soundtracks I like trying new things!

I have strange taste. I like old movies, I love really campy bad movies. I like a good comedy or drama. Not too into action. A general list of favorites in no specific order:

Fast Times at Ridgemont High John Waters movies Joan Crawford movies old Frankie and Annette movies Heather, Jawbreaker, Mean Girls Apocolypse Now most John C. Reilly stuff Will Ferrel doing anything Lost in Translation Magnolia Royal Tennenbaums Psycho beach Party

I could go on and on.

I go to the library every week, so I try and read as often as possible. Sometimes I read a book a week, sometimes it's just once a month. I read a lot of non-fiction. I love a good biography or true crime. In a nutshell, a good read to me is anything with lots of emotion OR it needs to be good and trashy. I like non-fiction that has a lot of scandal. Books I have loved:

A Treasury of Royal Scandals by Michael Farquar * Joan Crawford: Hollywood Martyr * Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger * Are You There Vodka It's Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler * Silent Bob Speaks by Kevin Smith *
