About Me

I am a writer, a musician, an artist, a photographer, a harpist, a rock-climber, a bicyclist, a collector, and a world traveler. I write short stories and poetry, but at the moment I also have multiple novels that I'm working on. One of these is almost ready for the final draft! People think I'm shy until they ask about my writing. :)

I sing in a choir and I've been playing the Celtic harp since early 2008. I love my instrument!

I love mythology and ancient cultures, archaeology has long been a favorite subject.

In addition to English, I'm almost passable in Spanish (3 years High School) and I'm taking Koine Greek as a minor for my degrees.

I've traveled extensively throughout the USA, went to Australia with People to People in '07 and recently got back from another trip with them to Peru & Chile (July '09). My dream is to explore the world, to experience it, to enjoy it.

My favorite colors are copper (that nice orangeish-brown), earth tones, sunset colors, blues, and elvish greens. (The soft, forest-leaf, greens.)Oh, and all shades of purple!

[what I pledged] (http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/7681)

Allergies

Ok, so I have a bunch of weird allergies. Weird as in I'm allergic to toothpaste. (fluoride)

The short list (things that would apply to swapping): --Perfume of any sort (except essential oils) --Artificial sweeteners (especially Aspertame) --Cigarette smoke --Red food coloring

And for those of you who are curious: --Chlorine --Benzene --a plethora of preservatives --Formaldahyde --hypoallergenic soap --laundry detergent

Favorite things

Favorite Objects:

--blank notebooks --postcards --atcs --tack pins --books --art supplies --words that just sound good --buttons --new pencils and pens --paper scraps and pieces --fabric --patterns for sewing --things that look like artifacts --suprises --teapots

Favorite Animals:

--dolphins --owls --camels --cats --squirrels --falcons --Jellyfish --eagles --lizards

Favorite themes:

--periods of history and cultures(Rennisance, Old west, Mideavel, Aincent Egypt...ect.) --Celtic knotwork --Fantasy --fairys --dragons --Arensbak Trolls --elves --vampires (NOT twilight ones) --Shakespeare --caligraphy and writing in interesting scripts

Favorite Music

It depends on the moment, but mostly I like Celtic, folk music, classical, choral, and Gospel. I love Celtic Woman, The High Kings, and Blackmore's Night. Anything played on a harp, flute, or dulcimer makes me smile. Music from the Lawrence Welk show and the early days of radio is awesome... I love things with nice harmonies, with or without accompaniment.

Favorite Television

I've grown up on PBS and old shows on dvd, so very few current shows appeal to me. I love cooking shows and documentaries. Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, especially Star Trek, the original Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rodgers. The Twilight Zone and other old anthology series are also a favorite. I like things with well-written stories behind them. Westerns make me happy, The Wild Wild West (the show, not the movie) is my absolute favorite because it combines western and scifi. I like mysteries in the vein of Columbo and Murder She Wrote, where the story and the mystery are highlighted and the shock value and gore and sex are practically non-existant.

When I go places where cable is available, I invariably watch either Food Network or Discovery Channel. Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters are awesome!

Favorite Crafts

I craft and make art of any sort that will hold still long enough for me to play with it.

I have an etsy store full of handmade jewelry. I love beadwork, and am quite addicted to beads in general.

I make a ton of ATCs, do other mailart when I can find my desk through the clutter of craft supplies, and experiment with any art or craft I can find. Right now my efforts are more towards journals, drawings, and crochetwork. I doodle and zentangle things, and I draw a sketchy little comic on occasion featuring arensbak-style trolls.

Knitting and Crochet are also favorites, along with hand-sewing and quilting, quilling, beadwork, and painting.

Favorite Movies

"Lord of the Rings", "Stargate", "Beauty and the beast", most older Disney films, "The cat from outer space", "Willow", Star Wars, "Brave",

Comment: Very nice card! We had an old mill near my house. Now it's just a park with the old grindstones on display, the mill and waterworks did not survive. Thank you

I wasn't paying too much attention to what i was reading, and I thought "Wow, she has some interesting interests!" I thought you were a chemical engineer :)

OpalGymnast IS NOT IN THE NAME ATC SWAP. THIS IS SOMEONE WITH 2 ACCOUNTS. DO NOT TRUST HER!

OpalGymnast on Feb 10, 2013:

Hello! I just joined the first and last name ATC card swap and seeing as there are only 11 people in it, it looks like we will be making cards for everyone. So I was just wondering if I could get your first name so that I could get started! Thank you!
