I write and blog for CRAFT magazine. I also organize Felt Club . My personal blog lives here and my old retail site is here .
I love doing all kinds of handicrafts (knitting, sewing, embroidery, painting) and teaching other people to make stuff, baking cupcakes and forcing others to eat them, reading comix, going to the movies or having filmfests in my living room, true crime and trashy makeup. Also, Ms. Pacman.
Fun people who do fun things. Also anyone who wants to buy my upcoming how-to book from St. Martin's Press, "Sew Darn Cute: 25 Sweet & Simple Projects to Sew & Embellish" (out Winter 2008).
I don't want to "meet" random goth bands or MySpace camgirl hoes just looking to up their Friends count. If that's what you're looking for, move it along please & thank you.
Happy Holidays, peeps
1980s Fop-Pop/New Wave/Punk, The Smiths, bubblegum/one-hit wonder fluff, The Ramones, Misfits, Blondie, Johnny Cash, anything with a banjo (except, of course, Dueling Banjos), novelty songs about Halloween and/or monsters (especially if they are doing mundane humanesque things or having secret parties). Also, any song parody played on Howard Stern (especially the Sulu Dance and We Are The Wack-Pack). Also I love hillbilly music, dirty and nasty rap songs about laffy taffy and jiggling butts, fruity stuff like Belle and Sebastian and Morrissey, weird theme songs from cartoons, etc. I love mix CDs people make for me too because I'm too much of a granny to keep up with the kids these days. Make me one and I'll love you forever!

Oprah's Big Book of Dick Jokes, Frankenstein, My Dark Places (and all things Ellroy), Los Bros Hernandez, Mexican porno comix, Schulz, Bushmiller, Colette, H.P. Lovecraft, Portajohnny, nonfiction books about normal people facing horrible life circumstances where they have to resort to cannibalism or drink their own pee, or nonfiction books about old-tyme crap and how people lived their lives way back when. Basically I'm a fool for nonfiction.
We don't need another hero. We don't need to find the way home. All we want is life beyoooond THUNDERDOME.
