Dria

I'm a fun-loving, easy going kinda girl, mostly found wearing jeans and cut-up band tees. I'm originally from the South West of England, leaving me with an accent most people term as 'farmer', but I love it. I wouldn't change it for the world! I now live in the South East of England, with my boyfriend, our landlord and a feline overlord called Bela. I love buttons and ribbon, and spend far too much money on them. I love to create pretty, new things to wear utilising these things!

I'm a redhead, and despite all the idiots who like to laugh at that fact, I wouldn't dye my hair if you paid me (well...maybe if you paid me enough!), I'm a red-head through and through!

I love corsetry and most things relating to Victorian England. My other two favourite historical periods are the American Civil War and the American 1950's.

I love to roleplay, and miss playing D&D with my friends back home. I love dice, and almost in the same vein, I love playing cards. You can never have too many packs of playing cards. Wherever I go in the world I try and buy playing cards!

My favourite animals in the world are hedgehogs. Anything with hedgehogs on it and I'll want to buy it! Even Sonic the Hedgehog!

Mostly, I'm a heavy metal fan, but I'll give most things a listen. My big favourite bands are My Dying Bride and Nightwish. I also like Iron Maiden, Tarot, Emilie Autumn, Within Temptation, Dragonforce, Alestorm, Turisas, Bon Jovi, and oddly, Bruce Springsteen (you can thank my boyfriend for that one!)

I'll read anything that's within reading distance if I'm bored, but my favourite things to read are sci-fi and fastasy, especially steam-punk style stuff. One of my favourite ever books is Gone With The Wind.

I'm a big kid at heart and love Disney films, especially ones made in the 80s and 90s. I also like films directed by Kevin Smith, and like all nerds, I can quote pretty much the whole Star Wars Trilogy by heart!

I don't seem to watch much TV...I end up watching shows on DVD once they've been cancelled! Some of my favourites though are Firefly, Veronica Mars, Peep Show, Blackadder, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr Who, How I Met Your Mother, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Arrested Development...I could go on...

I mostly like to knit and cross-stitch, but I also make cards, and occasionally make cute things from felt. I've always wanted to try scrap-booking. To be honest, I'll try anything once!
