About Me

formerly pinkflamingo

I'm a 21 year old, recently graduated, Graphic Designer. Well, that's my profession, but I am an artist at heart. I love animals, and have a precious tabby cat named Gandalf (he's the best cat in the world!) I live with my Boyfriend's crazy family, and his mother is a crazy cat lady. Our place is sort of a farm right now. There are 6 cats, our new bunny, and even a pigeon with a broken wing that his father keeps in a cage :) It's pretty crazy between the animals and his eccentric family, but at least there's never a dull moment in the Jones residence :)

Favorite Books

Harry Potter . Georgia Nicolson Series . Lord of the Rings . A Mango Shaped Space . Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy of 5 . Deception Point . The Moorchild . Catcher in the Rye . His Dark Materials . Eragon . Man's Search for Meaning . and many many more. I love books, I can't enough and I'm constantly looking for new books to read.

Favorite Music

Bob Dylan . The Weakerthans . Johnny Cash . at.the.drive-in . Tool . The Misfits . The Cranberries . AFI . Bob Marley . Nirvana . The White Stripes . Mozart . Bach . The Beatles . Poison the Well . nofx . The String Quartet . Blind Melon .

Though there is wayyy too much great music out there to limit my favorites to just the above :)

Favorite Crafts

Ooh I love arts and crafts. Just about anything crafty makes me excited :)

I love to paint, draw, play with clay and wire, make collages out of paper, and any other fun media I can experiment with.

I love different types of paper of all colors textures. There's definitely not enough paper in the world!

My Nerdy Side

I am a complete nerd over Harry Potter. I've read every book about a thousand times each and I scour the internet daily for any Potter news I can get :) It's definitely my biggest obsession.

I love all fantasy or mythology based stories (though I do love true stories and biographies too) Books about fairies, mer-folk, gnomes, elves, dwarfs - I love to get lost in fantasy stories :) Especially stories based off of traditional myths and legends.

I'm also a huge World of Warcraft nerd. I've got 5 characters on 3 realms, so I spend a lot of free time roaming around Azeroth killing murlocs and other baddies as a green-haired Gnome :)

I also LOVE Harvest Moon. Caring for cute cartoon Cows and Sheep, planting vegetables, what could be better?

Comment: I'll be happy to re-rate when I receive. Your Nov 3rd message was: "I went to my mother's today...and found the ATC's I sent you in my mail pile! Apparently in my hurry to mail your stuff I put your mail in the wrong box :( I'm sending it out again first thing tomorrow morning." But I messaged again on Dec 2nd because they still had not arrived. You said then you'd resend to me and your other partner who had also not received. I messaged again on the 15th and got no reply -- that could have been due to the holidays or whatever. I was frustrated -- and rating finally got a response -- sorry that was what it took. It looks like your other partner also still hasn't received yet. Something mysterious is happening with these two swap envelopes? Since this is one of my favorite themes I really am hopeful that these will show up in the mail!
Response: Yes the holidays have been very very busy for me, but don't worry they are on their way again. I'm not upset about the rating, just worried that people aren't receiving my swaps :(

Comment: I will change rating if I receive them.
Response: I'm sorry you didn't receive the swap, I know what it's like to send something and not receive anything back so I'm going to give it another try and resend. It's so frustrating to keep sending these out and not knowing whats going on with the mail and why they aren't getting to where they should >P

Comment: Thank you so much!! I truly adore your handmade postcard and the quote. It is up on my inspiration board already. Plus all the extra goodies you sent... the girls spent a good hour just sorting the animals & playing little farm games. I had to end it when they started hiding the chickens & went to get a basket so they could collect the eggs, lol!! You are quite generous, thank you so much!
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that the kids enjoyed their goodies too :)
