hellos!!! I am a 22 year old college student. I love to cook and am going to attend culinary school once i graduate.

I am a competitive (though not currently as i am lacking a male partner) ballroom dancer and i adore sparkely. As a resulting of the costuming of ballroom dancing i have got a thing for rhinestones. I adore the older music used for ballroom dancing.

I love to cook, specifically bake. I plan to open a cake shop at some point in my life and make fantastic wedding and party cakes. I also love non-baking cooking as well. I find quality tea, especially loose leaf, quite lovely as well. I also adore Kitchen gadgets.

In general i am such a geek, about everything.

I am a scarf addict! silk, pashmina, woven knitted, small, large, long, short, wide, skinny, prints, solids, striped I love them all!

I have an irrational fear of Ouija boards. I had a bad child hood experence involveing one and my 2 older brothers being older brothers. I know Ouija boards cant hurt me, but i seriously cant walk by them in a game board isle without getting a bit un-nerved. so please dont send my anything ouija boards.

i love to knit, and make jewerly. I crochet a little and have recently taken up cross stitch. I really enjoy sampler patterns. i enjoy sewing. im up for pretty much anything crafty. not a big fan of scrap booking.

I love the classics and anything about history. I like non-historical books too. I enjoy most genre's. Some of my favorite books are gone with the wind, little women, pride and prejudice harry potter, cook books, books on crafts. i love learning new things.

I love sci-fi, Doctor who, star trek TNG, Stargate, Torchwood, firefly, torchwood, Xena. I watch the food network all the time and have been watching Good eats since the frist season. Can't stand Bobby Flay or Rachel Ray. I like that 70's show which is apparently on every hour of the day in re-runs apparently. I like cartons, Anime, futurama, family guy, Kim Possible, Avatar, my life as a teenaged robot, basically everything i should be too old for. I watch the history channel like crazy. I love documentaries! Im addicted to the BBC america.

most Sci-fi, Star wars, Star trek, Back to the future trilogy, I like the harry potter moives, anything historical, gone with the wind, pride and predjudice, I love musicals. Old Disney cartoons are good before they went all CGI (not that CGI is bad.) I enjoy chick flicks, but mostly the more classic chick flicks like pretty woman, steel magnolias, also anything with dolly parton, not a big country fan but i love that woman. Maybe its because she is soo sparkley...

I'm addicted to purple right now. all shades but i perfer the darker richer shades. I have always liked black, in kindergarden my favorite colors were pink and black, lol. I love rich deep colors like jewel tones. Pink is nice. I really like all colors, however I absolutely can't stand orange. I used to say i was allergic to orange. i think its ok in limited quantities with other colors but as a main i just find it wrong. sparkles are awesome!!

In yarn i love natural fibers and interesting blends, I am really into knitting socks right now so im into sock yarn. I love all yarn really, i find there isisnt enough non-pastel purple yarn.

Fabrics i love interesting patterns in fun color combos. I love asian inspired prints and i love plaids, they are both soo fun.

I love things that sparkle. Rhinestones are just wicked awesome. I love glitter but prefer the super fine as it twinkles better!

I use mostly silver and crystal beads in my jewelry i sell but i also like pearls and more exotic,artful beads.

I like dark wood (nothing Dirty ment here)

I love asian foods. Chinese, japanese, vietnamese, Indian. I love noodles. I love lychee I am a regular Bento-er. I love all foods really. i love british snack foods too. I've been trying to track down Jelly Babies in the U.S. but to no luck, every time i find a box they are old and near expiring. As for chocolate i prefer Dark chocolate. i love fruity flavored candies and im open to most any strange flavor. i love out of the ordinary candies and love those little asian jellys. i loved cookies and baked goods. I am ALLERGIC to SHELLFISH. I don't expect it to come up as it is highly unlikely anyone will be sending me 1/2 a pound of scallops, but its good information to have out there. I LOVE SPICY FOODS!!! all kinds!

Art. i respect and can enjoy all styles of art, i am however not a big fan of anything bloody or gory.

I like animals. kittys are fun. Hedgehogs are adorable and were i good with small rodents as pets i would get one. i like giraffes a lot too, Turtles are cute, i have one. I also have some koi fish. dogs are nice too.

I like Hello Kitty and other kawaii things.
