I'm 30 and very sarcastic. My life is spent selling vintage and antique things, writing, recycling computers and going to concerts. I live with Princess Bobarella the iguana, and spend a good portion of my time amusing a lizard. She likes music, flowers and NFL football. I don't care for football, but Bob likes the Jets and John Deere tractors. I swear, I'm sane, other people have seen the iguana show preferences and interests in these things. I'm silly sometimes.

I love music, I used to work in a concert hall and I miss hearing a different band every night, even if it wasn't a good band, it was a different one. My favorite genres tend towards classic rock, goth rock, ska, punk, grunge and just plain good old rock and roll, with side trips into country and disco and new wave and folk and bluegrass.
I'm an old-school goth at heart, but I have other varied musical interests.

anything directed by John Waters, starring Vincent Price, or very low-budget. The cheesier, the better, I just love cheese.

True Blood is awesome. Documentaries about killers, people with unusual beliefs or lifestyles, and that Taboo show on the national geographic channel are nice.

Lots of crafting going on. I crochet, sew, make frustrating attempts to knit, and I do beading/jewelry type things. My most popular crafted treats are hemp jewelry and crocheted hats, folks seem to like those best, and I love making them.

My best friend is an another bitter aging goth rivethead who enjoys pirates, gypsies and coffee. My mum loves weinerdog stuff and knits obsessively and my pop makes wonderful glass things of many kinds... and they all love Angry Birds.

I've got some awesome kid-friends, they call me Auntie and we have a blast on game night. Know of any good games for a 9 year old, a 7 year old, a 5 year old and some silly grown-ups to play? We love Uno and Mario on the Wii so far.

I'm easily amused, and pretty open to most types of items but if you'd really like to make me smile-

I enjoy: - goth, halloween or creepy weird funky. I never grew out of that gothic phase.

• frilly ruffly stuff, girly goodies from EGL to retro to just plain pink princess fun.

• skulls, cute lil 'sanrio' type big headed critters, and anything oddly adorable.

• homemade anything! soap and bath stuffs, sewn, stitched, knit, crocheted, beaded, anything crafted; and I'll love it even more if you did it.

• I'm very easily amused by the little things, like my kitchen potholders that double as bunny puppets and those tiny little comic books about going to hell that people hand me at fairs.

• I like little things; the tiny laminated saint pictures pinned into old purses, tiny plastic dinosaurs with three heads, inch-tall bottles of hot sauce, the figures that come with red rose tea... I like little things.

and I collect:

dolls- I love barbie the most, early vintage to brand new ones, if it's Barbie, I like it. Yes, I take them out and play with them, other dolls too, just not baby dolls. My latest is an MSD sized ball-jointed doll, I love her dearly, any 1/4 scale stuff would be lovely!
little toys, kinder surprise, homies, the tiny bobble heads from gumball machines, etc, whatever's tiny and fun. vintage clothing and accessories. pretty rocks, crystals, bits of beachglass, SHINY things. odd whatsits from thrift shops, funky knick knacks, pretty little saucers and giant coffee cups, crazy 70's fabrics and weird looking dolls.

ALLERGIES- I've been diabetic since 1985 (I was 5), and have a hard time saying 'no' to candy, so please enjoy it for me. Eucalyptus makes it hard to breathe. Also, I get a rash from glitter and certain types of tinsel, despite my love of shiny things. If it's sealed into something, I'm fine, it just makes me itchy if I touch it.

Dislikes- - brown. - mint flavored things. - sports

still need ideas? I could really use: shoelaces, a mix cd, little housewares type things, oven mitts, stickers, some beads, or bits and bobs of thin yarn or crochet cotton. Anything wool? I love wool. Coffee or tea will never go to waste either.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE private swaps! Just in case you might like do a private swap, I could offer up:

-Handmade winter scarves, hats, shawls -Cases, also handmade, for all manner of gadgetry - DOLLS- if you like barbies, pullips or blythes, drop me a line- - sewing/crafting misc- a lot of it vintage, most of it excessive. Buttons anyone?
- Vintage clothing- I've been collecting and dealing in vintage since childhood, let's talk dresses. Bowties anyone?
Clothing in general. I'm in the small to extra-small range, and have a mix of mediums I can't use. I mostly wear black and gray, but I have a variety of colorful things to offer. - a myriad of odd trinkets, just need to find the right person for em... from 80's toys to 50's dress-up gloves and anything in between, if you collect it, I might have a few for you.
