About Me

23 year old sometimes art student (most times not), has big ideas and big plans and always has something on the go.

cruisin

Favorite Music

I'm currently listening to: Chad Vangaalen, Bon Iver, MGMT, Islands, Battles, Cut Copy, Kings Of Leon, Lucero, Beirut, Mase, The Gossip, and many others. Genres that I tend to lean towards have often been called: Dance, Techno, Motown, Nu-Rave, Indie Rock, Post-Hardcore, Electro, Hip Hop as well as music with slight country tendancies. I enjoy LOTS of different kinds of music and I'm very open-minded to new things. I want to hear what you like!

Favorite Crafts

Embroidery, collage, cut and paste, collections arranged attractively, sewing, drawing, painting, sketching, typography, baking, cooking, photography. You name it, I love it.

Favorite Books

I read quite a bit and love every second of it. For the most part, I stick to any of the McSweeney's series, David Sedaris, Francesca Lia Block, Miranda July

Favorite Television

I have a television, but no cable. I like to watch tv shows on dvd from time to time, and those shows include: Heroes, Lost, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, and Prison Break.

What I Would LOVE to Receive

Mix CD's or tapes, postcards (handmade would be GREAT!), mini pieces of artwork, ZINES, snips of colourful paper for collaging, any kind of ephemera, loose teas, the last good book you read, the last good short story or article you read, anything sewn by you, graphic novels, artist books, independant printed matter, photocopied things, photocopied fabric ESPECIALLY! Or, just a simple letter or note telling me about yourself, or the town/city you live in! Especially if you live in the states. My friend and I are traveling around the US early next year and I'm trying to find some great junk/antique shops, pretty views, and cheap adventures to go on. Any help is much appreciated!

What I Would LOVE to Send YOU!

Mix CD's or tapes, any genre, you ask for it, I'll send it. Handmade postcards or little collages, any kind of artwork (Check out my art blog if you'd like) . Scraps of paper for scrapbooking, Pages of illustrations from vintage children's story books, Photocopies of some really great short stories, tea (loose or bags), photos for collage, fun fabric, beads, buttons.

I have an extreme case of "packrat-itis". If you're interested in something, send me a PM, chances are, I can help you out!

Comment: I STILL haven't received anything from you, even after contacting you several times...the thing is, I can't send you the final result until you send me the second section!? I'm sorry to have to rate you a one, but it really shouldn't be that hard and you shouldn't sign up for a swap unless you intend to finish it...if I ever receive the second part from you, I will gladly rate higher, and get your part off to you.

Comment: Thanks for the Edward Gorey postcard--I love his work! Life in B'more is pretty good this time of year, lots of beautiful trees and flowers blooming. Sorry to hear about the snow in Halifax. One of my favorite bands, Sloan, is from your town. :)

Hi Lindsay--on your trip through the US you should go to new orleans (not in summer), it's got wonderful unique shops, antiques, etc. Just an idea!

MoonMagick on Sep 15, 2008:

Hi Lindsay: I wanted to make your rainy day reading a cozy experience. :) Enjoy the booklet.
