About Me

** I've been out of town for a week and haven't had a chance to acknowledge all the swaps I've received. I'm getting right on that!!! Sorry for any inconvenience!**

My name is Jennifer. I am 37 and live in small town Georgia with my husband of 14 years and our 2 cats, Buckaroo and Bonsai. I am currently a barista at Starbucks (love it! soy lattes galore!) until I figure out what to do with my life:)

Likes

  • plastic bubble toys (put in a quarter--get something nifty) I especially love the little 1" tall figures like monkeys, aliens, kittens, puppies, weird creatures, etc
  • postcards (especially vintage) of anything, from anywhere--sent naked or in envies, no preference
  • handcrafted things
  • Buddhist imagery
  • mandalas
  • tattoos (traditional & Japanese style)
  • roller derby & disco (quad skates)
  • shrines (matchbox or otherwise)
  • stuff with my name on it (Jennifer or Jen)
  • coloring books (especially Dover)
  • tote bags
  • goofy little doodads
  • vintage/thrift store items (I don't mind gently used stuff)
  • amigurumi (food or strange stuff especially)
  • Burt's Bees products
  • items unique to your town/state/country
  • weird humor
  • four letter words
  • pin up girls
  • maps
  • crossword and fill-in word puzzles
  • hello kitty stuff
  • mermaids
  • anthropomorphic food
  • devils/devil girls
  • sun/moon/stars
  • rich, bright colors-- pinks, purples, blues
  • silver
  • sandalwood/patchouli/oriental scents

Dislikes

  • floral scents (especially gardenia) -- give me headaches
  • bath items :(no bathtub...very sad)
  • earrings (I wear 10g rings & don't change them)
  • convert me to your religion stuff
  • red, white and blue items
  • country style crafting
  • items with conspicuous brand names
  • muted earthy colors
  • gold

Favorite Crafts

While I've been around craftiness all my life (my mum is super crafty!) I'm just getting into it myself. I like making paper things (notecards, postcards, bookmarks, etc) and decorating matchboxes, especially shrines! I also like altering stuff and getting creative with a scanner and laminator. I can crochet (a granny square, at least)) and I LOVE amigurumi but I'm not sure I have the patience for it. But if you send it to me (especially food) I'll be the happiest girl ever.

Favorite Music

I have pretty eclectic tastes and am always open to discovering new music. I mostly listen to alot of weird noise stuff with my husband (we run a DIY record label) but I love 70s glam bands like Slade, Bowie, T. Rex and New York Dolls. I also like metal (doom/stoner and black metal...not hair bands). Faves are High on Fire, Mastodon, Mercyful Fate. Other faves include Supergrass, Abba, Doors, KISS (early stuff), k.d.lang, Roxy Music, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, & lots others.

Favorite Television

I only watch tv shows on DVD . We used to have satellite but got tired of paying $$ for 150 channels of crap and commercials! My fave shows are CSI (Las Vegas only...not New York or Miami), Weeds, Heroes, Dexter, Dark Angel, Star Trek (Next Gen and Enterprise). Also, I love Netflix on demand!

Favorite Books

I love to read but unfortunately don't get to sit and do it much. I especially like science fiction, nonfiction, poetry. My fave writers are Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Brautigan and Robert Heinlein. I also like Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum series) and Jennifer Weiner. I like to read encyclopedias and dictionaries too. Oh, and don't forget Harry Potter! I just finished the Twilight saga and loved it! I'll be reading it again very soon!

Favorite Movies

I like all kinds of movies. My fave actors/directors are Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Sam Rockwell, Cillian Murphy, Kevin Smith, John Waters, Brendan Fraser. Some of my fave movies are LOTR, Pirates of the Caribbean, Reign of Fire, 28 Days Later, Mystery Men, Chocolat, Still Breathing, Logans Run, X Men, Battle Beyond the Stars, CryBaby, A Dirty Shame, Riddick, Velvet Goldmine, Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity. My #1 movie obsession: Roller Boogie!

Other Random Info

  • I am not offended by nudity or profanity (in fact, I think both are great) so please don't feel the need to censor yourself.
  • I think swapbot should be fun! I'm really easy to please and I love getting mail, so don't worry!
  • I have two cats that sometimes supervise my crafting. I REALLY try to avoid getting hair in packages, tape, etc. but I can't promise 1 or 2 won't slip by -- sorry, hope thats not a problem for you :)
  • I recycle shipping material. My husband gets more mail than I do so I have more padded envies and bubble wrap than I can possibly ever use.

What a wonderful profile surprise I received from you today-you obviously read my likes. I got an awesome-and not cheap lavender eye pillow and a bunch of teas that I can't wait to try-I hope I get to do a forum swap with you again! Thanks so much!!! (PS I loved the Hello Kitty bags!)
