About Me:
I'm me, and if you already know me, that should be explanation enough! I've been told that I'm quirky, but in a good way, not a sitcom way. I'd rather be quirky than boring anyway, so I don't mind.

I'm a total geek girl, and am proud to admit it. I like anime, playing video games, and learning anything new just for the sake of learning.

I love reading, and will read just about anything that is given to me, or suggested. (Non-fiction, fiction and comics alike.) Although if you really want me to read something, lending it to me is probably your best bet. My list of books to read is usually pretty long. I'll even lend you something in exchange. By the way, have you read American Gods yet? Once I get it back I can lend it to you. I'm sure you'll like it!

I'm a found materials artist. The medium I most often use is paper, but I'm starting to branch out into other materials. If you hand me something old and mostly useless, chances are good that I'll come up with some idea. I also make jewelry. A lot of the jewelry I wear I've made myself.
I love to travel. I would be totally comfortable living out of a suitcase for weeks at a time. Really though, I'm always up for something new, no matter what it is.

I love music. I think that it's just as necessary for my survival as water, or air. Ask me sometime about my feelings on music and the divine. Because really, the only thing I enjoy more that good music is a good philosophical conversation.

I love to be outside. Hiking, camping, running, biking, walking. Pretty much anything outdoors and active, really. If the weather's warm that is. I'm not much of a fan the cold. Even just sitting under a tree with a book will make me happy. The sun is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

I feel that there is beauty everywhere. Even the smallest of things can be deeply moving. A flower, the way the sun shines through the leaves of a tree, the angles of a building... Everything has the potential for, beauty, the potential to move you, if you are willing to let it.
