emplosion

25 year old Aussie girl with too much time on her hands. I make messes, I miss deadlines (uni deadlines, specifically. I seem to be good at all the others), I superglue myself to random items, all in the name of art. And not very good art at that.

I love childish things, girly things, non-girly things, random things, bizzare things.

The butterfly is my creature of choice, I love it in every form and on everything. I also love cupcakes and anything with a cupcake design etc on it

Purple is my obsession. For example, today I'm wearing a purple shirt, purple socks, purple rings on my fingers, carrying my amethyst in my pocket and I have a purple hair clip in my purple and black hair. Purple + me = love.

I am also vegetarian and prefer things that aren't animal based or tested on animals, or at least as cruelty free as possible.

My favourite music includes anything with Tegan & Sara or Tori Amos. Yes, I'm that angsty. Also my teeny-bopper side loves Snow Patrol, Feist, Lada Gaga (omg noooo), Killing Heidi and Uh Huh Her.

I could go on all day about my favourite television shows, so I'll start by saying this: I'm a fangirl. Of the highest calibre. Stephanie March makes me squee more than anyone else, but Gillian Anderson, Angie Harmon and Paget Brewster will also elicit similar responses.

My favourite TV shows include (but are by no means limited to): Law & Order SVU, Law & Order: TBJ, The X-Files, CSI: NY, CSI: Miami, CSI, Criminal Minds, United States of Tara, NCIS, Womens Murder Club, The L Word, The West Wing, Kathy Griffin My Life on the D List, Standoff, Star Trek: Voyager, Presidio Med, Without A Trace, Crossing Jordan, The 4400 - TRUST ME, THE LIST GOES ON!

I don't have many dislikes, apart from the animal cruelty thing. And the colour pink. I hate the colour pink.

Food wise I have a LOT of dislikes (I'm teh queen of fussy when it comes to food). You can't go wrong with anything that contains sugar, especially caramel or peanut butter. I love hard candy, nougat things, honeycomb, salt and vinegar and anything fruit flavoured - but HATE liquorice, mint and cookie dough flavours.

At the moment I'm into basic cardmaking (the lack of spare time means I don't often get into anything too complex), just started working with fimo (but nothing much has come out of that yet), making notebooks out of recycled materials, pendants, magnets blah blah blah.

I can't sew, but wish I could. I love receiving hand-sewed/crocheted stuff like bags/pouches/etc because I think it's an awesome talent to have!

Baking and cake decorating is another of my hobbies, but I suck at the decorating part so I mostly stick to the baking. Cupcakes should rule the world, I love them.
