I'm 27 and live in beautiful Minnesota. I spend most of my time creating, crafting, camping, gardening, baking, seeing live music, going to festivals, thrifting, fishing, and spending time with friend's and family.

I love almost any music if I can see it live. My favorites are bluegrass, folk, jam bands, and classic country. A random pick of some of my favorites: Trampled by Turtles, Hank Williams Sr., Sufjan Stevens, Ben Harper, Ben Folds, The Grateful Dead, Old and In The Way, Elliott Smith...the list could go on and on.

I love any kind of how-to book. My favorite book of all time is either The Great Gatsby or Of Mice and Men. I also can not avoid picking up a magazine about anything and reading it. There's just something about the format of a magazine, the short articles, and pictures that I can't resist.

I love B movies....especially sci-fi and horror from the 40's and 50's. Teenagers From Outerspace is one of my all time favorites! When I'm not watching movies that are so bad they're wonderful, I love corny family movies....My All Time Favorite Movie is: It's A Wonderful Life...who doesn't like a happy ending..and a little Jimmy Stewart? :) I also like The Science of Sleep, Fido, American Zombie, Live Music Recordings on DVD, Rushmore, Royal Tennebaums, So I Married an Axe Murderer...

I've been crocheting for the past 10 years or so, I also sew, cross-stitch, embroider, draw, write, hemp jewelry, tie-dye, and I'm currently trying to learn macrame.
