About Me

I enjoy all things whimsical and absurd. I'm into noise and psychedelic music. I like to knit sweaters. I make my own pickles. I dig all things urban homesteading: gardening, canning, knitting, sewing, animals, avant garde cinema, postmodern archival theory and the like. I love nature and spending time in the woods.

My Interests

textiles, photography, cooking, knitting machines, voluntary simplicity, libraries, gardening, records, cult movies

I'd like to meet:

The dalek opens up, exposing its biology to the light and raises a tentacle at Rose. ... Dalek: "I can feel so many ideas... So much darkness... Rose, give me orders. Order me to die."
