Spencerette

I love crafts! I'm mostly into paper crafts like cards making & rubber stamping, but I also enjoy sewing, painting, origami, scrapbooking... all kinds of crafts really. My fave colors are green, purple, brown & blue.

I love rock, punk, indie, rockabilly and pop music. I love going to concerts. The smaller the venue the better :) Some fave bands are Better Than Ezra, Guster, Ima Robot, The Living End, Powderfinger, Low vs Diamond, Phantom Planet, Jason Mraz, & The Pink Spiders.

I am crazy for Twilight & Harry Potter. My fave from the HP series is book5 OOTP. I love all caps Harry (when he's angry and his dialogue is in all capital letters). It's hard being a moody teen and having the dark lord in your head! My favorite published Twilight book is the first one, but my fav of the series is the partial draft of Midnight Sun. I really hope Stephanie decides to finish it. It is sooooo good! Some other faves are Pride & Prejudice, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, The Host, Any of Bill Bryson's travel books (he makes me laugh so hard I usually cry or make so much noise that the people around me start to stare ). I also enjoyed the Eragon books :) I recently read "Blink" by Gladwell. It was really interesting. If you want to learn about how first impressions work, I would highly recommend it. Just finished Atonement. A bit of a downer, but a good read all the same.

My absolute fave movie is Moulin Rouge. I love the music, the crazy cinematography, the tragic love story. Love it! Also really enjoy Stardust, Shakespeare in Love, Pride & Prejudice, Once, Monsters Inc. Tekkon Kinkreet, Spirited Away...

I enjoy The Office, Reaper, Lost, Bones, Big Bang Theory, Ballykissangel, Vicar of Dibley, Dr. Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Flight of the Conchords...

I use Charberry as my artist's name on my swaps. It's my "tagger" name, but since I would never have the guts to actually tag something I use it on my swaps :) I love the cute! My fave Hello Kitty characters are Keroppi & Choco Cat. I also like Tokidoki and all that super kawaii stuff!!! . Lately I have been collecting owls :)

Two of my fave artists are Shag & Joe Ledbetter. Shag has the coolest retro style. If you get the chance see his paintings in person. They are amazing. I'm also really impressed by the amount of paintings he completes. This guy must be painting night and day! Joe Ledbetter is an awesome artist. He paints super cute characters that are usually involved in some kind of voilence. Think cute bunny riding a unicorn battling a monkey in underpants. It sounds crazy, but I love it!

I have two podcasts that I love to death! I listen to This American Life each Monday and I love it. Such an amazing show. It's funny, it's sad, it's interesting, it's enlightening. Just love it! My other favorite is called You Look Nice Today and it rocks!!! It is hilarious! I listen to the episodes over and over again and they never get old. So very funny!!!!!
