About Me

I am also on craftster, but I like the idea of more swap availability!

I am currently finishing a BA in Spanish, then hopefully going on to finish an MA in English Literature. I am also a year post-op from a kidney transplant!

I am a very eclectic individual. I am pansexual, pagan, and liberal. I currently live in the Portland, OR area and I LOVE IT HERE! I am in a long-distance relationship, though we are not monogamous. My life is very strange, though not overly interesting as of late.

Tags/Things I owe:

(i really like love horror in general. and cheesy fake-science movies. and cult classics.)

Favorite Crafts

knitting, embroidery,dotees, ATC's, cross-stitch, learning to sew/patchwork, papercrafts, learning to do resin-casting, jewelry making...

Favorite Music

I listen to quite a lot of music. My favorite bands are Type O Negative* and silverchair* I will always love the boy bands from the '90s. And Prince*. The Purple One is wonderful!

I am currently listening to a LOT of metal. And Lady Gaga. At the same time. ;)

I also LOVE musicals. RENT* is my favorite, but I listen to many. I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show and was recently introduced to Repo! The Genetic Opera*...which is utterly AMAZING.

Favorite Colors

my favorite colors are purple, turquoise and lime.

I don't have any colors that I hate, but I am less fond of most neons (for clothing. otherwise neons can be fun!).

Easy Hearts

(nice! ;P) things related to starred (*) items will receive automatic hearts! of course, standard heart-earning things, such as amazing design and heart-felt effort will receive hearts as well!

i will add other things as i think of them.

i am also eager to get kawaii chibi-style stickers with alice in wonderland and wizard of oz characters on them.

original pieces of art are always awesome (eg. paintings, multimedia pieces) i am willing to do personal swaps for these items.

RANDOM THINGS:

i love candies and chocolates that i can't get here in the Pacific Northwest. my favorite is Kinder Surprise*, but i also love chocolates with "weird" inclusions! i do have some things i can't eat, like certain herbs, because i take so many medications and they interact, so message me before sending anything like that! i want to be able to enjoy it and it would be torture to get it and have to give it to someone else! :D

favorite patterns, textures

i love frogs, peacocks and leopard print. i also love sugar skulls/Mexican imagery, tattoo flash (especially Sailor Jerry stuff) and swallows/sparrows. I also like patterns and motifs in general. I think the colors and designs from India are magnificent!

for jewelry, i prefer silver-toned, though i am learning to love gold and other metals! -my first earring holes are 0g, but i have 2nds to wear normal earrings in! i love dangles. -i love all jewelry, but would love some pins/brooches! i also adore lockets (on any type of jewelry, not just necklaces!) and cardigan clips. i have a rather fat neck, pretty fat fingers and thin wrists. go figure, right? :)

ugh....

i really never wanted to have to have a section like this! it makes me so sad when people end up flaking. especially people who have amazing records and ratings.
