I'm a Jack Kerouac obsessed art fag who giggles a lot and thrives in obscurity. I love providing witty commentary for trashy reality shows, throwing out obscure cultural references, oil painting, fun clothes, and ridiculous music.

I have a very eclectic and strange taste in things. I don't like "crafts", I like art. Ribbons in pastels and polka dots will not be appreciated, although something wild and funky most definitely will. Anything that makes your soul feel good is a plus in any any department.

FAVORITE COLORS: purples, bluegreens, and regular greens. (like olive or kelly green .)

Music is a hard one. You'd be better off just looking through my favorite artists and hoping you get it right.

I'm interested in a lot of subjects and I'm extremely open minded. There's not much of a chance of sending me something I'll find offensive. Even if you send me some crazy neo nazi literature, I'll probably read it out of interest (while severely and harshly judging you of course.)

I would absolutely LOVE any book by jack kerouac that isn't On the Road. (because I already own that one.)

Although there are some books I just do not like. They include: cookbooks (I prefer to nuke it and get on with life) teeny bopper sensations. (I may be 18 but that does not mean I want to read a book about a girl struggling to talk to a boy but her crippling self esteem gets in the way, or someone bitching about the amount of homework they have and how oppressive their parents are.) VAMPIRE ROMANCE NOVELS (this is directly aimed at the twilight series.)

Everything really, I love to experiment. I love drawing, painting, assemblage, collage, sewing (although I'm not the best at it.)

Whatever you send me I'll find a use for it most likely.

I love love steampunk style, so anything useful in that area would be appreciated. A trip to your local junk yard would suffice actually. ^_^ I also love really cute things.

DO NOT SEND GLITTER. it is the herpes of craft supplies. stickers on the other hand will ALWAYS be appreciated. I use them for full sticker assault on my town. I put stickers on everything, from street signs to ice cream trucks. (It's happened before.)
