Things I like include:

• Animals! I have a beagle/lab mix (Esther Greenwood!), 4 cats, and a cockatiel. I also enjoy drawing antlers on things, giant squid, unicorns, and owls.

• Photography: Lomography, polaroids with silly captions, old photographs usually of people I don't know.

• Vintage, victorian, or Asian ephemera

• Old, quirky, or handmade postcards

• Chocolate brown with either pink or turquoise

• Etc.: Mix cd's, zines, handmade magnets, rubber stamps, art supplies, handwritten letters, Rockabilly, MAC, blank books, tattoo-related art, blank cd's, things involving sideshow freaks, & one-inch buttons.

• Food & Drink info.: I like chai tea, coffee, chocolate, & yogurt cranberries. While I don't have much of a sweet tooth I do like gummy candy & Jolly Ranchers. I dislike black licorice, Sweet Tarts, & peanuts (by themselves.)

Dislikes: Fairies, American Idol, anime, country crafts, red, white, and blue together, neon colors, most of today's pop music, sandalwood, and "chick flicks." I also don't really need any bath or body items because I make my own. (See my website above.)
