I love you, but your standing on my foot.

About Me

Hey, my name is Sam! I'm a pretty nice gal if your nice to me. I claim to be a writer. I play bass, write zines, knit, and am always into getting involved. I like to make websites and booklets and am trying to keep up a zine called Sour Grapes . Im learning to play killer mandolin and to sew my own clothes. :O I'm also the co-founder of a great knitting organization called Kneedy Knitters Unite (Free time is useless!)Life only happens once. I think it's important to do what you love and help out all you can, no matter your age. When it comes to the future, I'm really into self-publication so I think I might go to Berea College and try my knack at Graphic Designing. One day I'd like to have my own a small publishing company and distro that publishes alternative authors and provides hard to find zines and outdated favorites.
Right now I'm just a nerdy girl who loves hardcore shows, knitting, being a speechie, and having as much fun as I can! I always enjoy meeting writers/artists/craft-kids. So feel free to write me, I wont be pissy. Or check out some of the current projects Im fiddling with.
