About Me

I'm a librarian. I like reading, knitting, comics, cooking, monsters, strong coffees, fine beers and visiting large cities.

I spent my childhood living in Tempe, AZ; my teen years and the first part of college living in and around Minneapolis, MN; and most of my twenties in Tucson, AZ. A little over a year ago my fiance and I moved to WA... we're still getting used to it.

Favorite Books

I am currently reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski as well as assorted comic books.

I like Harry Potter, Italo Calvino, Neil Gaiman, magical realism and graphic novels. I read a lot of young adult novels for my job.

Favorite Music

In general I like old jazz, overwraught gothy stuff, 80's pop, trip-hop, some 90's 'alternative,' and I'm very open to college-rock, international music, and anything with good smart lyrics.

Favorite Movies

My top 6 are: Amelie. Donnie Darko. Party Girl. Little Miss Sunshine. The Life Aquatic. Nightmare Before Christmas.

Favorite Television

I don't watch much television, but I do like the Food Network, particularly Good Eats with Alton Brown. I also like watching old episodes of The French Chef (with Julia Child).

Favorite Crafts

I'm a knitter and I'm on Ravelry as 9hauntedgirls - look me up.

I knit socks (although I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Sock Knitter), scarves, hats, wristies, lace, and I just finished my first sweater. Like most knitters, I prefer natural fibers.

I'm also a novice beer brewer.

Colors I Love

I like autumn colors: hot or warm reds and oranges, a smattering of yellow, and deep nutty browns. I also like greens and blues, in either jewel tones or stormy, deep-sea shades. I'm also a big fan of black and pink, and you can never go wrong with gray.

Colors I Really Kinda Hate

Purple. Navy blue. Army green.

Wishes & Fishes

My favorite season is fall and my favorite holidays are Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. I also collect rare (as in first edition, early edition, signed, etc.) Edward Gorey books... So obviously I like skeletons, bats, sugar skulls, shrines/altars, anything "dark" or "creepy" or creepy-cute, etc.

I'm a little obsessed with cephalopods (octopus, squids and the like) and the Cthulhu mythos. I once made up a Voodoo god named Papa Mimbo, advocate of housecats and strays. I like devils, demons, and stories where people try to outwit them.

I appreciate the punk aesthetic.

I'd enjoy recieving nice lip balms or glosses. I have a fondness for sharpies, pens and little notebooks. I also like asian teas, but nothing floral or sweetened, please. I love spicy foods and trying new kinds of hot sauce.

If I were a superhero my super-weakness would be my sense of smell: I love citrus, pumpkin, and vanilla, but am critically weakened by the smells of cat pee, unwashed clothing, and plumeria. Go figure.

Nice, good-smelling candles are always appreciated as are (and I know this is a stretch) Imp's Ears from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Order a sample you just didn't like? Send it to me and I will give you hearts and light candles in your name. And possibly name my first-born after you. Even if it's a boy.

Comment: I think these ATC's may have been the best I've ever received. It's like they were made specifically for me. I loved the cards...they were dark and perfect. The story that accompanied them was pure genius and I really, really enjoyed getting this package. The ending 'ala' "choose your own adventure" was the best thing ever! I hope to get you in a swap again!

If you want to swap Anti-Valentines CDs after Valentines Day, let me know. I'm sure we can sort out something! :)

Thank you so much for being my angel for the fall fat book swap. My biggest fear when I mailed my book out was that my partner would flake. I had never put so much work into a swap before! Your book is beautiful and I look forward to showing it off at my next crop party!

Thanks for doing the swap with me. Your package came at the perfect time, I was in the middle of a huge tedious project. The CDs got me through.

I grew up in WA state - I hope you don't have that Aberdeen/Olympia drive to do too often!
