About Me

I went to school for wildlife biology but now, two years after graduating, am working as a graphic designer, and I love it! I'm your typical humanist green party gal in lifestyle. I'm enamored with funky fashion (I am swayed very easily by steampunk, and wind up wearing weird old lady clothes a lot) so I adore thrifting and make my own jewelry. I spend a lot of time drawing, mostly digitally, and used to be super into photography (want to get back into it). Making mixes and preparing packages are some of my favorite things. I've been working on and off on a book I wrote during Nanowrimo 2003 ever since...one day I'll stop rewriting it! Other things I enjoy doing: baking, making lists, reading comic books, hiking, being outside.

Favorite Crafts

Beading/making jewelry, drawing, making mix CDs, collages, photography, decorating packages

Favorite Music

Indie, classic rock, hard rock, blues, reggae, big band, bad 80's new wave...

Modest Mouse, Islands, The Bird and the Bee, Aqueduct, Spoon, Suzanne Vega, The Dears, The Decemberists, Garbage, Steely Dan, Pulp, Genesis, Gomez, Emerson Lake and Palmer, The Who, Ladytron, Dire Straits, Alan Parsons Project

Hyperion, Fables (comics), Watchmen, Cloud Atlas, Ender's Game, Sandman (comics), The Doubtful Guest

Favorite Movies

Haven't had a tv since high school, and happy about it!

Comment: Got my package in one piece! What an interesting mix (in a good way)! BTW - We both answered with "You're My Best Friend" by Queen for # 16 - how strange is that?

Comment: Thank you so much for the CD, the booklet you made is VERY impressive! How did you do it?
Response: Just pulled up the lyrics on gooogle, then threw it in Adobe InDesign for fun! It's a great layout program, albeit a bit pricey (got it from work for free...)
