Eyelinerdiner

I'm 21 and and I'm a student/writer/crafter. I spend most of my time in Philadelphia, if I can help it.

I'm a geek in more ways than one - (anime, comic, video game). In terms of my interests in general, I appreciate the bizarre. I also have a love of Asian culture. I'm a big fan of Japanese street fashion, especially. I try not to take myself too seriously, so I'm a big fan of subculture parody. I also enjoy Halloween-themed things, regardless of the time of year.

I spend most of my time reading and writing zines, and trying to meet people all over the country and the world.

I've been creating beaded jewelry for a few years. I currently maintain a zine called The Eyelinerdiner. I alter clothes and do a lot of spraypainting and stenciling. I also like paper crafts, like making stationary and cards.

• any type of zine
• Asian kawaii items (i.e. San-X)
• macabre, goth-y, gothic lolita items
• dress-up stickers (like paper dolls)
• bento items
• skeleton or vampire accessories
• candy (from out of the US)
• power rangers merchandise
• international mix CDs
• international fashion/food mags

Books: Anything by Lynne Truss (Eats, Shoots, and Leaves) A Complicated Kindness Anything by Aaron Cometbus (the Cometbus zines) Paradise Kiss

Movies: Lost in Translation Little Miss Sunshine Uncle Buck Edward Scissorhands Howl's Moving Castle

Music: I listen to mostly folk punk and Jpop. There's also some 80s goth, whiney emo, Jrock, and Modest Mouse/Tori Amos/Bjork thrown into the mix.

• pastels, pink "girly" items, American cartoon characters, butterflies, nature themes
• I like kawaii stuff, but Hello Kitty is getting kind of old...
