About Me

I'm a twenty-two year old college student attending the University of Maryland in College Park. I'm majoring in English Language and Literature with a concentration in Language, Writing, and Rhetoric, and minoring in Classical Mythology. I hope to someday work in a publishing house in the editing department. What's scary is the fact that I'm graduating in May 2008!

I've been knitting for over four years, and crocheting for a little over one. I love to sew, work with beads, and collage.

On the non-crafty front, I try to read as often as possible. Humorous mystery novels with animals in them are my guilty pleasure.

I'm the producer of a local Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow-cast and I work part-time at a book store near campus. I have two beta fish (Lucifer and Goofus), a goldfish (Shark), and a dwarf hamster (Spaz). I've been dating my boyfriend John for almost three years now (Dec. 11).

Allergies:
-nickel (if we're in a jewelry swap, as long as it's packaged as nickel-free or hypoallergenic it should be okay) -mohair (it makes me sneeze)
