About Me

My name is Krista, I'm a socially awkward, slightly self-absorbed (let's be honest) realist with a penchant for love stories and jokes. I'm 25 but feel like an "old soul" which really just means "Kids these days!"

I like scrabble, making mix CD's, artistic men who wear loads of plaid and have facial hair-- my absolute genre, the pursuit of the perfect day, dancey pop music (this does not mean Top 40's, although sometimes it does), the sound of sirens, peanut butter on apples, my family, humming...constantly, white linen, foreign films, laughing and the way new socks feel.

Favorite Music

Oh, this question is like the song that never ends. I could talk about music for decades. In fact, when I find a man who I love we will have to talk about music for decades so...here are a few:

Matt & Kim, The Blow, The Creatures, Ani Difranco, The Mountain Goats, The Cranberries, The Shangri-Las, Loretta Lynn, Ray Charles, Jay-Z, J Dilla, blink-182, The Get Up Kids (nostagically), Bon Iver (obviously), Tegan & Sara, Coconut Records, Alanis Morisette, Fiona Apple, Carla Bruni, State Radio, N.E.R.D, Emmy the Great, Sufjan Stevens, The Tallest Man on Earth, The Carter Family.

If I were in a band we would be called The Pseudonym.

Favorite Movies

The Red Violin

Iron Jawed Angels

A Very Long Engagement

Love Me If You Dare

Amelie (shocker)

Paris, Je T'aime

The First Wives Club

Joy Luck Club

Favorite Books

David Sedaris, Rob Sheffield, AJ Jacobs, Wally Lamb, Audrey Niffenegger, Jack Finney and Chuck Klosterman

Comment: Thanks for visiting my blog. I can tell you recycling old clothes into quilts really isn't that hard. It is that first cut into a memorable piece that hurts. From then on it is fun.

Comment: I'm glad you enjoy my blog! Also, love your comment! I agree wholeheartedly. We need to add "swoon" to our everyday vernacular! haha P.S. You don't mind if I add your blog to my link list do you?
Response: We should start a petition. "LA/NYC swoons over swoon!" ANd I would be honored to be on your link list. I added you to mine too :)

Thank you for sharing those quotes. Those are beautiful!

fevervignettes on Feb 12, 2009:

Yeah, it will be, but it really means a lot to me in several different ways.

fevervignettes on Feb 10, 2009:

That quote would make a pretty amazing tattoo- I am going to get Sylvia Plath's "there's more than one good way to drown" on my back pretty soon.

julief on Feb 4, 2009:

I did :) I've just been cramming for an online exam that I just took. I will be replying to you shortly!
