I like crossstitch, making things out of found objects (i.e. jars of whimsies), painting, duct tape crafts, a little knitting, and all thrifted type things. I wish I knew more about woodworking & metalcrafty stuff.

I love mix tapes and any kinda computer stuff!

I am a newly 30something librarian. I work in the Internet type field. I love black, bright pink, red, and all bright colors & jewel tones. I hate hate hate pastels. I do love brown + pink.

I love care packages, particularly mix cds, baked goods, fun little toys, local specialties, etc.

I am a foodie and a HUGE beer dork. I love weird foreign foods and beverages. I am a music dork but not about new fancy indie rock (I like it, I just don't have the time to follow who is the IT band this week). I love finding old music, particularly stuff that isn't on cd. I love wax cylinder music.

I love traveling, especially to weird places. I enjoy propaganda, so North Korea is my dream vacation. My favorite recent travels have included Appalachia, Vegas, Nashville, and Maine. I love museums and cabinets of curiosity--weird old bones and conjoined twins!

I love religions, especially extreme ones. And conspiracy theories.

I love faux bois, acrylic, and modernist furniture and design. i like to mix it up with some old tymey victorian things. i love science influencing art. and pirates (the old kind, not the new kind!)

i love technology. I love the idea people had of the future in the 1950s. I love neon and kitsch and old cocktail culture. I love nuclear stuff of that period.

I have lived in chicago, portland, OR, champaign, IL, and New York City (Queens reprezent!). I liked them all!

I am extremely allergic to all animals and basically everything natural. No food allergies tho!

I like tea a lot....particularly black tea--earl grey, breakfast, lavender etc. I like cinnamon, licorice, ginger, cherry, & hibiscus too. And anything you can drink sweet & milky.
