I love to write. Writing is amazing. I'm going to be a novelist, and words are everything. Journals, letters, emails, anything with words has a lovely, silly, crazy version of me.
I love long letters with everything and anything you can include in it. All the good things, all the bad things, thoughts, secrets, life. I love to write long letters with little pictures and who doesn't love to get a few things in the letter every once in a while too--bookmarks, stamps, photos, etc.
I have a dog who's pretty much my life. His name is Ninja and he's the most adorable dog ever. I promise. I do almost everything with him and most of my adventures feature him.
Being a future novelist, I love to do stuff and hear about things for the experience. Almost everything I do, I think about the sights, smells, everything, and how I could incorporate it into my writing. I love details and inspiration. I find so many things inspirational. Even if you think it's boring, I'll probably still find some sort of inspiration in it. Always.
I love fantastical things. Faeries, dragons, adventure, magic, mermaids, castles, sword fights, demons, genies. Fantasy is amazing.
I'm developing a taste for Victorian style that's opened me up to the amazing world of steampunk. I'm definitely not an expert by any means, but I'm certainly intrigued by it.
Okay, I love reading. I LOVE reading. Among my favorites are Harry Potter, The Series of Unfortunate Events, The Bartimaeus trilogy, Artemis Fowl, Ender's Game, The Chronicles of Narnia, Mary Higgins Clark. I'm pretty into the classics right now, and British literature.
I also like to use books as a form of travelling. I took a few classes about Global Literature when I was in college, and it really opened my eyes to how you can sort of travel the world through reading. I try to apply those principals to my writing.
I also love Chuck Palahniuk right now. Fight Club, Rant, Invisible Monsters (and the Invisible Monsters Remix!), Haunted. He's twisted and gross and amazing.
Oh gosh, music. I love music--well, who doesn't love music? I've got a soft spot for French music, left over nostalgia from my French Immersion days. I really like almost all kinds of music, but I'm definitely drawn to Alternative Pop-type music. The Click Five, Neon Trees, stuff like that. I'm cool with country too (hold the groans please!). I'm not so much into newer country, not really into Taylor Swift, but older country, from the '80s and '90s is great.
But seriously, I like almost everything. give me music, I'll probably love it. Especially if it's kind of dance-ey, move your body, sing out-loud type stuff.
I'm a huge chocoholic. I'm trying to cut back so I don't get diabetes until I'm at least 40, but chocolate is a weakness of mine. M&Ms, Twix, Milky Way. But also, gummy things, like Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids too. Almost anything with a strawberry or lemon flavor, nothing with watermelon or green apple. (Am I the only one who thinks they taste like shampoo?)
I'm not big on anything peanuts/peanut butter. I'm not allergic or anything, but it's not preferable. I do like other types of nuts though, almonds especially. And sunflower seeds.
Does tea count as a food type thing? Oh well, here we go. I'm not a fan of flowery-I'm drinking a garden-type teas, but fruity things, chocolate desserts teas, all sorts really.White teas tend to be my favorite, but I'm open for anything.
I am a vegetarian.
Trail mix is awesome. That is all.
I love postcards. Homemade or store bought. Postcards are fun.
Bookmarks are wonderful. I never use bookmarks, but I love them. Go figure. I don't know what to do with them, but I can't stop collecting them.
Books, journals, notebooks, things that can be read or written in. I probably have enough journals to last a decade, but you can never have enough!
I've got a thing for business cards. Especially cool looking ones. Anywhere I go, if there are business cards, I take one. If there's a business card bank, with like, all the different ones, I take one of each. I think they're great. Can't explain it. They're just great.
Because of this website, I've discovered ATCs. Oh gosh. Send me all the ATCs ever. I want them all.
favorite color is blue, fairy, magic, tattoos, hair things, steampunk, bright colors, lace, butterflies, red pandas, Disney, fruit, pens, journals, logic puzzles, pirates, ninjas, shopping lists, vampires (no Twilight, please), pictures, florals, fabric quarters or scraps, feathers, craft patterns or diys, stickers, anything I hoard, notepads, cool sticky notes, markers, colored pencils, decorated envelopes, doodles/drawings, Perry the Platypus, rubber stamps, strawberries, light houses, beaches, waterfalls, um....yeah. probably other stuff...
The Office (U.K. and U.S.), Phineas and Ferb, Psych, Castle
I like to knit/crochet hats. I do a lot of things involving scrapbooking paper.
I knit, crochet, sew (hand sew and sewing machine).
I love patterns and tutorials, diy things.
