Favorite Books

p

what I pledged

I adore and revere all books, most notably Sci-fi and historical romances, but anything humorous as well.Stephen King, when I'm in the mood, but prefer the earlier stuff. The works of Robert Heinlein and Spider Robinson enjoy a special place with me.

Favorite Movies

Dr Strangelove, Princess Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Serenity, and most sci-fi. The Lord of the Rings, (for being just beautiful to watch) Wallace and Gromit.The Pixar animated movies like Finding Nemo.

Favorite Television

Firefly, Alien Nation, Pushing Daisies, Our Flag Means Death - most shows I like tend to get cancelled. Cartoons, the Disney-Pixar shorts and the later Bugs Bunny/ Looney Tunes. The single best piece of television was in a miniseries,Nightmares&Dreamscapes, a piece called Battleground. It's what I watch when nothing else grabs my attention. I also love the BBC specials, Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, and Walking with Monsters. Pretty much anything along those lines, and also Forensic Files and similar shows. I watch a lot of true crime on YouTube, like Casual Criminalist, or channels like Brick Immortar that deal with the causes of disasters. I like to learn about things, especially the causes and solutions.

I absolutely LOVE Batman:The Animated Series, Darkwing Duck, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited.

Ten is my favorite Doctor.

Favorite Crafts

Compulsive doodler, love drawing strong monochromic patterns,Egyptian-style eyes. My first love is sculpture but I've tried most other crafts. Quilting and sewing mostly, recently became interested in ATCs,stenciling, and papercraft. Mediocre crocheter, never had the patience for knitting but I recently learned how. Haven't progressed past the dishcloth stage yet.

About Me

Ok, about my username- Yes, I know it's a guy name. Simon was my cat.

s

(That's his picture)

I am a member of the Alphabet Mafia - specifically asexual and nonbinary. Pronouns are she/they.

Owned by two cats, one ginger baby and a lynx point Siamese who treat me like their favorite piece of self-heating furniture. Long time Wiccan, everyday I try to learn something new. Thrifty to almost Scrooge-like proportions. Self-taught, I tend to be overly critical of my own work. I write constantly, almost obsessively(can you tell?) but my handwriting is nearly illegible (fair warning!). I have a bit of magpie in me, I can't walk by something interesting without stopping to look or touch. The goblin is very strong with me. I make my own envies and notecards when possible. I love pretty things; finding them, making them, learning how to make them. I enjoy yard sales, thrift shops, and flea markets. My sense of humor is seriously skewed towards the sarcastic side and I LOVE black comedies.

things I crave

shiny stones, unusual rocks, anything unique or interesting. I am part crow, part goblin.

Mushrooms, leaves, trees - in a perfect world I would be living in a witch's hut in the middle of a forest, surrounded by cats while the local townsfolk whispered about me behind my back.

fat quarters - I have recently been accumulating fat quarters in the colors of the asexual flag - black, white, grey, and purple - for a project I'm working on

cute bandannas - not the standard paisley pattern, but cute/unusual patterns

anything asian - geisha, pagodas, Buddha, etc

loteria

Tare Panda

Chococat

witchy things

shiny things

cat-related objects

foreign coin\currency

celestial themed items

masks(the more colorful, the better)

jewel tones (such as the colors blue, purple, crimson, green) and black.

Halloween(Samhain) items

madonnas(as in The Virgin, not Like a Virgin)

chocolate

zines

learning things( I am semi-obsessed with DIY and LOVE learning how to do things)

coffee (dark roast or espresso)

mocha

candies

odd things

useful things

oddly useful things

Eeyore

aliens

zombies

good paper

hairpins

white tea

black Flair pens - or really any good pen that writes well. I'm left-handed so I like pens that dry quickly so I don't have to worry about smudging.

Sharpies

sandalwood incense

toys

citrus scents

gashapon toys

vending machine or capsule toys

cherry blossoms

koi

monkeys

bright yellow smiley faces

espresso (I know I put it twice - I REALLY like espresso)

I am Year of the Goat(or Sheep)

cat toys - my babies are very hard on their playthings

1-up mushrooms from the Mario Bros. games

Anything to do with the Portal games

Fanfiction - the stuff that's so bad it's funny

A note for swap partners -

I love getting partial balls of yarn, especially fine yarn like sock yarn or thinner. I do a lot of small crafts that use just small amounts of yarn, so if you have a little bit left from a project feel free to send it my way.

I also do a lot of papercrafting using odd materials, like candy wrappers, empty boxes, or the thick mylar that coffee "bricks" come in. If you have any of this (clean, please!) valuable "trash", I would love to have it - especially if it's in a language other than English or from something not available in the US.

My favorite Pokemon are Leafeon, Sylveon, Umbreon (I'm partial to the shiny version) Scorbunny/Raboot/Cinderace is my favorite starter

Favorite Music

Country mostly, but anything that grabs me. Songs that have stories to them and a good melody - Brad Paisley, Johnny Cash, Everclear, Emerald Rose, Jonathan Coulton, Abney Park, Longest Johns, Karilene

Hates With Burning Intensi

rhinestones

overly cutesy things(except as noted in Likes)

jewelry(never fits) - pendants or charms that I can add to my own cords or chain are the exception. Bracelets and rings just never fit me, and my ears are stretched so I don't wear 'normal' earrings anymore.

makeup(itches and I am prone to exzema)

pastel or florescent colors - I like these colors in moderation, more as accents than main colors

glitter

fake vanilla scents

anything really strongly scented

Trash type Pokemon - just why, Nintendo? Also Milcery is just weird.

Comment: Thank you for the chunk with the PB wafer reco - I love peanut butter treats. Actually, you mentioned a Little Debbie wafer, but have you ever had “her” PB chocolate bar cookies? Oddly they’re not on all LD displays, but are worth looking for. They are a long rectangular cookie with a layer of sweet pb, all dipped in chocolate. Really good combination of tastes & textures. Here’s to peanut butter treats😍 And, love the trilobite stamp!
