About Me

Hello! I'm a 22 year old anthropology and geography major. I should be graduating this year. I was born and live in Maine and am proud to say "wicked" when I mean "really." I love maps, traveling and awkward silence. It is impossible to offend me.

Favorite Music

Amos Lee, Andrew Bird, The Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Ataris, Barenaked Ladies, Belle & Sebastian, Ben Kweller, Beulah, Bishop Allen, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Buena Vista Social Club, Camera Obscura, Carbon Leaf, Cyro Baptista, Damien Rice, Elvis Costello, Frank Sinatra, Franz Ferdinand, Gruff Rhys, Jack Johnson, James Taylor, Jamie Cullum, Joaquin Diaz, John Mayer, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Keren Ann, The Killers, The Klezmatics, Mates of State, Matishyahu, Erin McKeown, Of Montreal, Orchestra Baobab, Modest Mouse, Mosquitos, Natalie Merchant, Jason Mraz, Rasputina, The Real Tuesday Weld, Regina Spektor, Royal Crowne Revue, Rufus Wainwright, Sam Philips, Sean Hayes, The Shins, Smash Mouth, Sondre Lerche, St. Thomas, The Starlight Mints, Susannah McCorkle, The Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Thermals, They Might Be Giants, Veruca Salt, Weird Al Yankovic, The Zutons

I love almost all music, including: world music (all languages), indie, old country (not be confused with new country), gospel, barbershop, punk, ska, pop (mostly not mainstream stuff), lo-fi, swing, blues, folk, bluegrass... so many... the only things i really don't love is hardcore metal and new country... but you might be able to convert me. I love folk though.

you'll always win with me if there is an: accordion, string section, organ, mandolin, or theremin.

Favorite Books

Banana: The Fruit that Changed the World, Never Let Me Go, Salt, Kafka on the Shore

Favorite Movies

I Heart Huckabees, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Amelie, City of Lost Children, Wings of Desire, The Dark Crystal, Fight Club, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, Donnie Darko, Monty Python, Whale Rider, Spirited Away

Colors

I love green, particularly the brighter shade of pea soup. I also generally love really saturated colors, I'm not huge on pastels. They have their place though.

Things I Love

-Bones... for real and not in some creepy way, I'd like to have a career as a zooarchaeologist, or human osteologist. I have a cow skull right now.

-Bananas!!!! ...they won't be around forever.. anything with an image or a trinket would be loved

-Postcrossing

-Food... all of it.. anything with recipes... images... candies... I have eaten bugs, raw fish, innards nothing scares me. (For any food swaps I may be in, I'm not allergic to anything and love trying new things so be bold!)

-Interesting Facts... the more random the better!

-Different Cultures

-Traveling (I've been to Thailand, Puerto Rico, Canada, Ireland and various places across the US)

-Religious images or things... more traditional than modern... all religions... really it makes me extra happy... favorite images of your faith perhaps!

-LGBTQA supporters!!

-Random things. I love stuff.

-Buttons (aka badges)

-Retro Things(especially Mid-Century Modern)

-Clean design

-Anatomical drawings, art anything

-Traditional Photography (Digital is a dirty word)

-Maps

Things I Don't Like

This is not to say I am not appreciative of anything... if it is something I don't care for I share it with someone who will love it... in general though I don't love:

-Ribbon

-Those little cutouts of paper

-Scrap-booking goods (except for stickers)

-Anything trying to convert me... you don't know my beliefs... I may already be on your team :)

-Haters

Hobbies

-Photography -Painting -Linoleum Printing -Reading -Cooking -Concertina -Traditional Cartography
