About Me

I'm 26 and live with my boyfriend in the DC metro area. I am overly sarcastic and have a relatively sick and twisted sense of humor, therefore I am not easily offended. I can find the humor in any situation. Don't be scared to send me something avant garde and risque.

I spend a lot of time reading, playing video games, working out with my wii or practicing to be a ninja.

I'm a scientist. I won't bore you with details. Needless to say I will appreciate math and dork/geek jokes.

I also play soccer and recently survived dodgeball. I try and screw netflix by watching as many movies as possible.

I'm up for private swaps. If you're interested shoot me a message!

Collectibles: metal lunchboxes, Potatoheads, sailor moon stuff, Edward Gorey books

Video Games: Mario Kart, DDR, Super Mario (all games), Sims 2, Kingdom Hearts, wii fit, brain games on my wii and nintendo ds, Professor Layton and his magical adventures, any Legend of Zelda games

Things I like: books, earrings, kitchy crafts, interesting coffee and espresso, creepy dolls, anything from India, cool art, music, movies, magazines, fabric, anything purple,

Things I DON'T like: candles, people who park their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle, licorice

Allergies: None

Favorite Crafts

-Beading -Making Jewelry -Polymer Clay -Painting (I'm not very good, but I try) -Sewing (still in beginner project stages) -Renovating thrift store finds -Decoupage -Mix CDs

I try and be more crafty and expand my list. Sometimes a crafty mess occurs but sometimes a new hobby is found.

There's a good mix there, I love a lot of good and bad stuff!

Comment: Hi Lisa, sorry Hon but i agree, its not a work of art but 10 points for trying! it looks like you invested alot of time, effort and thought into it and for that, i love it. keep trying, practice makes perfect...
Response: Haha, thanks so much for the honesty! I was really loathe to keep trying and delay the package since I had restarted a few times already. I'm actually going off to a group today to practice handsewing with felt so hopefully that will help. Thanks for appreciating the effort and have a fantastic day!

Comment: Thank you so much for th lovely jewerly. I have to say that i have lost weight and lost a few inches from my neck area, the necklace really shows it off
Response: Oh fantastic!! Actually one of my weaknesses is making necklaces that are too small for someone's tastes so I'm glad that wasn't the issue here!! Congrats on the lost weight!

Comment: Thank you so much, I loved everything. Especially the crocheted purse!
Response: Oh great!! I won't lie, the crocheted purse was made by a friend (as I can't crochet) but it was too pretty to keep to myself so you are the lucky winner!

I just noticed you posted on my profile. I'm happy you like the songs! I was hoping someone would like my randomness. That's usually what I have playing through my itunes. :D

Hi- Have you seen this swap? I am watching it, thinking about joining, another CD mix swap. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/44991 kris

fadingwolf on Sep 9, 2009:

I am so glad you like the CD. Blah to the beltway I never know how long it is going to take to get to work anymore, but at least you had good music. I got my CD from whosthatgrrl yesterday so I was listening to it on the way to work, also a very good mix! :)

fadingwolf on Sep 3, 2009:

Hi! I am pleased to tell you that I will be sending you a horrible mix CD that I absolutely love. I am especially pleased because oddly enough when I was looking over the people signed up to see if my CD would be “appropriate” I saw your profile and thought, well maybe she would appreciate it. I make no promises though!
