About Me

I get paid to write for executives. I love the new company I'm working for but I kindda think I may be over communications in general.

I read a ton and am addicted to paperbackswap.com and bookmooch.com. I love getting things in the mail, in fact, I'd call it an obsession. But I prefer the things I receive to be useful - i.e., things I can eat or re-use in some way so as not to add to the clutter in my life, which I'm slowly working hard to reduce.

I have a cat so her hair often finds its way into packing tape...

Favorite Books

The Color Purple; Still Life with Woodpecker; I Know This Much is True; Skipped Parts; Time Traveler's Wife; and Dogs of Babel

Favorite Television

Entourage on DVD because I don't have HBO; The Tudors on DVD because I don't have Showtime; Almost everything on the Food Network except Emeril, who gets on my nerves; Heroes

Favorite Music

Jack Johnson; Dave Matthews; The Grateful Dead; Patty Griffin; Paul Simon; Tom Kimmel; independent folk musicians; Natalie Merchant; Ben Harper

Favorite Movies

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; Sixteen Candles; Breakfast Club; Gone with the Wind; Shakespeare in Love

Favorite Crafts

Knitting (but only squares and rectangles cause I have no skills); cross-stitch; art journal though I am just getting started

Things I like

  • Winnie the Pooh (classic pooh please)
  • quotes, letters and words
  • bookmarks especially handmade
  • Chococat & Hello Kitty stickers or stationery
  • Asian design stickers
  • stuff to put stuff in (boxes, organizers, etc.)
  • file folders with designs on them, especially kawaii ones
  • beautiful photography
  • simple living guides
  • dark chocolate
  • coffee - not flavored
  • blank note cards but not thank you cards please
  • astrology (I'm a Capricorn)
  • X-box, X-box 360, and Wii games
  • books books and more books (though the selection on my paperbackswap.com list may be misleading - the romance novels are from my mother-in-law)
  • moleskine notebooks with lines
  • people who write me back
  • DMC embroidery floss
  • NPR
  • Dooce, paperclippy, unclutterer websites
  • kawaii stickers (oh my, why did the Internets introduce me to this joy?!)
  • sour gummy candies
  • Pilot G-2 07 pens

Things I don't really like

Clowns; unicorns; anything cheesy in a bad way; anything religious unless it's Buddhist; anything conservative (I'm a liberal); rose scent; anything overly flowery; collectibles that aren't usable; romance novels; trash talk in forums; decorative socks; ribbon unless it is self adhesive; dollar store junky items unless they are really cool; things that smell like cat pee or cigarette smoke

Things I currently covet

  • flour sack tea towels to embroider
  • current or back issues of Digital Photographer magazine
  • Aida 14 cross-stitch fabric in any color
  • candy from foreign places
  • wide deco tape (not Disney unless Pooh, please)
  • Pocky (any flavor except Strawberry pls)
  • small pairs of matching buttons for biscornu - solid colors are best
  • embellishments
  • Debbie Bliss Home: 26 Hand Knits For Living book
  • any of the books at http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/members_wishlist.php?m=MzI4NQ==
  • Kinder Eggs and Kinder Bueno (yum!)
  • Lucky star paper strips (not scented) please please (cheap but hard to find in US except online)
  • patterns from http://www.sublimestitching.com/transferpreview.html
  • Monokuro Boo pig stickers or bookmarks

Thank you so much for the pressed penny from Universal Studios for the Wishlist group. My husband and I went to see that movie on our first date night in over a year and really liked it (Iron Man). So that was a good choice. I really appreciate your offer to get more for me. That is so kind of you! Well, my son is crazy about Spongebob and my husband's favorite is Jurassic Park. So any Spongebob or Jurassic Park would be wonderful! I'd be more than willing to set up a private trade, if you'd like. Just let me know. Thanks again! Erin
