About Me

My name is Krys. I live in a small town in central Texas with my beloved 5 year old coonhound, Lucky. I love being creative and anything that is unique and thoughtful.

Favorite Books

Ooh... tough one for a "reformed" English teacher. :)

Anything Kurt Vonnegut. I've also found I love a lot of Jodi Picoult books. And, of course, the classics. Its amazing how many classics I've never had the chance to pick up.

I love the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I love the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. It wasn't until recently that I started diving into the wild and weird books that I never thought I would love (IE "Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies").

My favorite short story? "A&P" by John Updike. I'm always in the market for a good short story compilation.

Not a really big fan of horror books. I read Stephen King a lot as a teen and I think I burned myself out on that genre early.

Then again, if it comes highly recommended...I will give anything a read.

Favorite Music

I listen to all kinds of music. I have everything from T.I. to Chopin on my iPod. Right now I'm pretty stuck on folk (Joe Purdy, Joshua Radin, Ingrid Michaelson...).

Favorite Movies

Top three never change: 1. The Crow 2. Tank Girl 3. Boondock Saints

Other than that... anything romantic comedy or comedy.

Favorite Television

Greek, Big Bang Theory, Lost, October Road, Reba, True Blood, Grey's Anatomy, and Friends. I love Reba just because there is a character named "Barbara Jean," which was my mother's name.

Favorite Crafts

I'll try anything once or twice. I'm just now getting into ATC's and shadowbox pictures. I used to make hemp necklaces for money in college. I was such a hippie. I just bought a sewing machine in hopes of trying my hands at sewing crafts.

What I like...

I love anything creative and unique. I guess that's why I gravitate to handmade stuff. Just knowing that someone put time out of their busy lives to make this thing right here... it means a lot to me. I love photography. Some day I'd love to learn how to reclaim stuff (like they do with jewelry and furniture... Have an old lawn chair? POOF it's a coffee table! Have some silverware? POOF its a bangle!)

I'm some weird combination of hippie/emo/punk/nerd. :)

I love old-school tattoo culture. I'm working on making myself a walking artform.

My favorite candy in the whole wide world is a toss-up between Giant Chewy Sweettarts and Sour Skittles.

I'm getting into tea...especially as a teacher in a cold classroom... Not a big fan of the orange blends, but I will try anything.

I love pictures. :) I love regional things. Postcards, magnets... its always fun to see where people choose to live.

Comment: Thanks for the great covers. Isn't it funny that I don't like the Rihanna version of "Umbrella" . . . but I love the 3 covers that I have of it (well, 4 now!) :)
