About Me

i'm a messy person, who loves to read, sleep, knit, be goofy, hang out with friends and so much more. i love my apartment. i'm a kid at heart. i wish i could hire a personal chef, as i don't really like cooking for myself. i love to BAKE, though. i love my friends fiercely. if you're my friend, you better believe i'll stand up for you no matter what.

i have some of the best friends in the whole world...i wish i could support them as well as they support me. i love cookbooks and marking recipes i want to try, but i almost never actually cook, it's kind of sad. i'm excruciatingly shy and have a hard time putting myself out there to make new friends. it's the little things that make me smile like i'm a little girl again. like watching clips of disney movies in foreign languages on youtube, or childrens book stamps, or crayons and a coloring book.

i have a bachelor's in psychology, but i don't want anything to do with it now. i absolutely LOVE to read, i MAKE time to read. i'm thinking i want to be a children's librarian. my whole family is fluent in german, i was born in germany, but i've only had two years of it in college. purple is my favorite color, with blue as a very close second. i love art, but can't draw for the life of me. if i could, i would just sit around and watch netflix dvds, read, eat good food and knit alllll the time. too bad i can't do that...i wish i had a pet, a cat or a dog or maybe a bunny. i love to bake, but i don't do it often. i want to learn to be a better cook, but i've found i'm kind of afraid of it. i don't know why. i have a purple tattoo of a treble clef on the inside of my left ankle.

Favorite Music

air, allison krauss, ani difranco, astrud gilberto, badly drawn boy, belle & sebastian, ben folds (five), boards of canada, some choral music, some coldplay, some dar williams, death cab for cutie, the decemberists, some dixie chicks, enya, eric whitacre, fiona apple, the format, frou frou, fountains of wayne, guster, imogen heap, some indigo girls, iron & wine, jars of clay, jason mraz, joanna newsom, the killers, maroon five, mates of state, mae, manhattan transfer, motion city soundtrack, neutral milk hotel, the notwist, opera, the postal service, rachael yamagata, regina spektor, richard cheese, rilo kiley, rufus wainwright, scissor sisters, the shins, some sigur ros, starlight mints, sufjan stevens, some tori amos, turner cody, some u2, uncle albert, zero 7

Response: Last I checked, it doesn't have to be handmade by the person sending, just handmade in general. I'm glad you enjoyed the package, anyway.
