I'm addicted to blogs, craigslist.org, pretty things, thrift store shopping, bargain hunting, politics and political humor, hoarding anything that might one day be useful, maps, maps, maps, my lovely step-through bicycle, globes, old books, apples, birdies, aprons, rickrack, ribbons, graph paper in all forms, paper with foreign words on it, ephemera, postcards, green and pink and blue, thrift store fabric, teacups, and all things vintage.

I live with my boyfriend Dan in a 19th century rowhouse apartment near Dupont Circle, in the middle of the action in Washington, DC. We are car-free and walk, bike, or Metro to everything and love life in the city. I work full-time running my crafty business, {craftgasm}, where I reclaim and upcycle lots and lots of paper. http://craftgasm.etsy.com

By no means an all-inclusive list: Jump, Little Children; Incubus; Army of Me; Suitcase; Maroon 5; Death Cab for Cutie; Rilo Kiley; anything from local artists or semi-obscure so I can attempt to feel hip and with-it while listening to it. :)

Heroes! The Daily Show! The Colbert Report! The Office! and most anything on BBC America

Anything papercrafty (cardmaking, bookbinding, journal-assembling, etc.), and all manner of sewing projects with my too-good-for-me Bernina.

A quick note for any mods concerned with my "no sends" from 2007: I most definitely DID send them (and have pics of the swaps before they were sent, if you'd like proof!) and have never received the packages back in the two years since. I've also tried contacting those who rated me as not sending to see if the package had come a few months later (one was international and a fairly large box), but without any response. I follow through, I promise!
