I can be a little bit loopy... I absolutely adore singing! If I could do whatever I wanted with my life it would be musical theatre. Sometimes I have a pretty quick temper. I think it's ridiculous to ask someone to pick their favorite color, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be red. I love foreign languages. I [unfortunately] have to stick to a gluten-free and lactose-free diet. I tie knots in blades of grass.

I will never sign up for a swap I don't think I'll be able to follow through on, and I'll always try and get in touch with you before giving you a 1 rating.

Push Not the River, Parasites Like Us, The DaVinci Code, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Historian...historical fiction is boss as far as I'm concerned, but I love classics as well - including all things Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.

Almost Famous, This is Spinal Tap, Surf Ninjas, Girl Interrupted, Pan's Labyrinth, Amelie, movie musicals [my favorite is Guys and Dolls], Hitchcock movies

knitting!!! plus a bit of photography, writing, scrapbooking, crocheting, sewing, drawing, beadwork, papermaking, screen printing, graphic design... I pretty much dabble in everything. Jack of all trades, master of none!

For the Winter-Wear Swap: I'd love something in a more natural fiber like wool or cotton - even a natural/acrylic blend would be wonderful. Anything you'd like to make me would be fabulous (although I already have more scarves than I can count!). As far as colors go, I love everything but black or tan...thank you so much in advance! :)

rock, hip-hip, country, pop, showtunes, ska, disco, r&b... so really and truly a little bit of everything.

although I'm a big time fan of the 60's and 70's - CCR, The Doobie Brothers, Chicago, Boston, Carole King, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Seger, Elton John, Billy Joel - I could go on forever!
