Inkstone

I am a film major at the University of Kansas who is loving life and happily reveling in geekery. I'm a nerd, craft enthusiast, intellectual, bookworm, and Internet dweller, but above all, I'm a dabbler. I love trying new things and I do a bit of this and that all the time.

I am working on remedying the two "1" ratings on my profile. The last few months have been rough because of my depression, so please bear with me. I would like to avoid being labeled a flaker and I'm trying to up my overall rating once again.

"I'm going to do an internet! Whoa!" "I'm going to do a book! ...Aww." :c

Beading, wire, jewelry, sewing, making costumes/cosplay, mon-kiri, papercraft toys, scrapbooking, a little drawing, and some writing (mostly things that could become novels and the occasional short story). I hope to eventually learn how to knit/crochet and to finish and publish a novel.

I am also big on recycling stuff and I often cannibalize old parts from things to make new things. I find it fun to see how to go from a broken object to an awesome new thing, which is one of the reasons why I like the steampunk aesthetic so much.

Rock, alternative, classic rock, some metal, techno, electronica, dubstep, movie soundtracks; I'm always open to giving new music a try so I'm not limited to just these :)
