i'm 26 years old. currently, i work at a university by day and grad school it up by night. i love to write, read, cook, travel, sew and crafts in general. i really enjoy growing things (yay organics!), learning about sustainability and working for peace and social justice.

in general, i like: retro, black and white photographs, bold/dark colors, old postcards and photographs, found art, vintage-inspired fabric, unique buttons (pinback kind and the kind you sew onto stuff), jewelry (all kinds - i have pierced ears, and love necklaces), journals, anything buddhist, liberal political stuff, zines, screen-printed stuff, pirates, pandas and polar bears, mike and ike candy and sour gummy candies, hot chocolate, asian-themed anything (i'm Korean) - but not anything with the word "Oriental" (racial slur, big no no), bento stuff, etc...

i'm not crazy about religious stuff (except for buddhist stuff), winnie the pooh, girlie stuff, Disney, tea, and Walmart.
