About Me

I'm a 22 year old lady nerd. I just graduated from college, receiving a Master's in social work. Now I need to get a job, how scary! I'm a ferret mama, and a turtle mama, but I hope to be a pug mama some day.

Favorite Music

Electro-pop, pop-punk, ska, indie, bluegrass, folk, metal, classic rock, rockabilly, old school country, underground hip hop. Aaaand probably lots more. Listening to the radio is usually a painful experience for me. I really don't go for mainstream pop and the travesty that is mainstream hip hop. At the same time, I'm no elitist and I try not to judge others' musical choices & whatever else brings them joy :)

Some favorite bands, off the top of my head: The Weakerthans, Metric, Alkaline Trio, Reverend Peyton's big band, Chromeo, Daft Punk, Wanda Jackson, Iron Horse, Great Lake Swimmers, Iron Maiden, Atmosphere, mc chris (& other nerdcore rappers), the Misfits...

Favorite Movies

There are so many movies I enjoy!

Once Upon A Time in the West, His Girl Friday, Ball of Fire, Bridesmaids, Ghost Busters, Back to the Future, Inception, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, Get Low, Most Wes Anderson things, oh man I could go on and on.

I watch LOADS of movies, it is my favorite way to relax. I usually trust rottentomatoes' ratings and generally try to avoid vapid blockbusters that feature either dull, unrealistic romances that make you want to pull your hair out or meathead-centric explosion fests/male dominated action films.

Favorite Television

The Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock, Six Feet Under, Metalocalypse, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, United States of Tara, Weeds, The Big C, BBC miniseries featuring Jane Austen Novels.

Favorite Books

I LOVE Jane Austen & read and reread her work religiously. I am also a Harry Potter nerd and even have a deathly hallows symbol tattoed on me.

Favorite Crafts

*Cross stitch well *Sew...not so well *Make jewelry in a decent fashion *Just began making melt & pour soap *Have knit, made papercrafts, used perler beads, drawn, & painted in the past *Love taking photographs, but lack a fancy camera *Does cooking and baking count? *I'd love to learn glass etching, rubber stamp making, resin casting, cold process soap making, decoupage, cake-decorating, and any craft, really.

pugs, unicorns, robots, kawaii, domo-kun, diet pepsi!, chocolate, foreign candy, Britain in particular, Europe in general, owls, dinosaurs, Mr. Darcy, Cthulhu, bright make-up, pigments, bright colors, candles, things that smell nice, ephemera, thrift store knick knacks, kitsch, little bows, the color red, victorian asthetics, American asthetics from the 1920's, 30's, 40's, & 50's, feel good 80's movies, Red Dead Redemption, cowboys, dias de les muertos, the American southwest, pandas, asian inspired things, skulls, charms, vans, converse, cemetaries, spooky things, halloween, zombies, ghosts, horror, B-movies, science, hand-made things, recipes (especially for the crock-pot!), comics, torrents, beer, cider, picture frames, photoshop, graphic arts, OOAK works, cherry blossoms, peonies, cupcakes, tea, local things special to your area, cute fabric, sharpies, old photographs, fragrance oils, lip gloss, chap stick, mix cds & mix tapes, burnt DVDs, tattoos.

*I'm a proud atheist so please refrain from sending me religious things (although I suppose I'm on okay terms with Buddhism & Wicca). *Kitties and puppies stuff...unless it involves a pug I just don't get down on that. *I don't like dark chocolate : ( *I gave Twilight a chance but it's just not for me!

Comment: great photos....i especially liked the angel with the sunset light on her face. very nice. great zombie makeup too. my favorite thing to dress up as is medusa. i had particularly long hair which i put in about a 100 tiny ponytails and then wired them all and sprayed them green. then i bent them in the shape of snakes and they sway and move when i move my head or body. it is a great look. haven't done it in a while, but it is a fantastic costume. have fun swappin and happy halloween.
