I'm an art student, studying areas of painting, drawing and photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art. (check out my art on those two websites!)

I'm not terribly into girly and cutesy things. I'm kind of a hippy.

I'm not really a crafty person...scrapbooking doesn't excite me, but I love to knit! I'm great at scarves, but only scarves. Sometimes I get creative and turn a short scarf into a cute headband for warm winter ears. Don't get me wrong, I love creating. I draw, paint, photograph, sculpt, I just don't like (most) papers, beads, ribbons that you can buy at the local craft supply.

I really enjoy things that look and feel antique, or exotic. Anything that reminds me of another time and place excites me. Fabric, trinkets, images and food from other countries makes me so, so happy.

• Anime
• Scrapbooking
• Earrings
• Hello Kitty and things of the like

• Jewelry, especially stuff that's simple and handmade.
• Books
• Food!! Candy, teas, cookies, spices, coffee, chocolate (not big on white chocolate, but anything with hazelnuts or dark chocolate

I love books more than anything. I cannot live without books.

I unfortunately have a very small collection of books to my name. I love all the classics, and modern gems. Really, I'm not a book snob, I'll read anything and everything.

Some musicians I adore:

• Bob Dylan
• Foo Fighters
• Ben Folds
• Simon and Garfunkel
