Jerome K. Jerome, I am an exceptionally good liar.

I'm a Universalist Unitarian a BA in art & graphic design from Shippensburg University. I'm a "very laid back person." Or so I hear from what few friends I have. I hate parties, and most social situations but this is not a fault. I love museums, movies, and cartoons that haven't aired since the mid nineties, grunge rock and adult alternative (I don't even know what that is), beep and click techno, stand up comedy, and some video games. I'm very sarcastic, and most people I know think I'm funny...but I think that's a load of crap. Also, I love my Dr. Pepper shirt...apparently.

I hate dogs and people who believe vanity is a virtue. I don't like cheaters unless they are exceptionally clever, and my favorite animal is the penguin. I have stacks of books that I am trying to find time to read. I appreciate classical music, and have a germ-phobia that some consider obsessively compulsive. I can't sleep without touching my face or lips, and ice cream tends to excite me. I don't tan; I only burn and because of this my skin is white like snow.

I am also a huge fan of cooking and I write a cooking blog for the website TastyPlanner.com. My husband, Anthemonium, and I moved into a new house in MD where we both work from home.

I graduated school with a BA in Fine Art and graphic design certification. With that, I have started up my own graphic design company called Ice Moon Studios. It is a design company for smaller businesses that need an identity. You can visit my site at www.icemoonstudios.com to view my portfolio as well as submit a project to me if you have some sort of design need.

My husband, Jim (aka Anthemonium), and I recently moved into our first house in MD. Jim is moving up in his company (which is awesome) and I am so proud of him. We both are currently working from home.

I love to blog and I am writing several from cooking to bentos to babies.

Umm...in an attempt to be modest, I'm going to say...design, only because it is my job. But I am a good conversationalist, and I'm pretty good at being um, humorous.

I am a very hard worker, my whole family is really. When you give me a task, I will find the cheapest and most efficient way of completing it. I have been bred this way, I have no other way of thinking.

I am also really good at planning and time management. I am actually pretty organized. I keep the house tidy and clean and the fridge is always stocked, so I guess that's good.

I am also a fairly decent cook. I love to cook and try new recipes! Jim made me a new recipewiki which I am obsessed with now.

My glasses are noticed first. I know they are dork frames (and I think they are cool as well which is why I bought them so you don't need to message me to tell me that). I like some dorky/nerdy/geeky guys, and they like over exaggerated black frames, so there we go.

My sarcastic attitude is also noticed. I attempt to joke with people because laughter makes everyone happy. I am a walking library of MY favorite movie quotes (so don't quiz me) and use them accordingly.

The fact that I actually listen. Listening is underrated. Even if people are asking bullshit questions and giving bull shit responses, I still listen.

Books: I'll read anything by Kurt Vonnegut, a few books by Chuck Palahniu. I also loved the Griffen and Sabine series by artist Nick Bantok. Lovely Bones, Earth Childrens Series, and a few other random books.

Movies: The Road to El Dorado, Benny and Joon, Cry Baby, Don Juan Demarco, Edward Scissorhands, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Clifford, The Holy Grail, Cabin Boy, The Breakfast Club, Amalie

Television: Firefly, X-Files, Strangers with Candy, Arrested Development, The Tick (live and animated), How Clean is Your House?, LOST (kinda)

Music: The Notwist, The Postal Service, Junior Boys, The Killers, The Weepies, The Church, Frank Sinatra, Minus the Bear, Royksopp, The Church, Magnetic Fields, Crash Test Dummies, Fruit Bats, The Weepies

Food: Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Sushi, German Chocolate Cake, Greek Salads, Sandwiches, Chicken Salad, Tacos, Curry, Peaches, Chocolate, Airheads, Reese's Pieces, Bagels, Cranberry Juice, Pasta, Chicken Kurma

1.) Jim. Plain and simple. Jim = love/sex/conversation, the best things in he world. Also, I will mention this again, he is my wonderful husband!

2.) My MacBook Pro. I'm sorry to say it, but we are attached at the hip. I take it everywhere I go. Of course my laptop has to have my software, including: Adobe Designers Suite: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, GoLive or Dreamweaver, Flash; iLife 08: iTunes, iPhoto, iWeb and the like. I live on the programs. Also, the computer needs internet access, preferably wireless. Being a designer I need the internet like I need oxygen, filtered from crap. Also, I must note, that it better not be dial-up. I didn't even think anyone still used dial-up, but low and behold...its still out there.

3.) Movies/Shows. I love the cinema and theater. There is nothing like a few hours of entertainment in a dark room.

4.) Plants. I love to breath, much like most living creatures. I have a loving fascination with pants and flowers. I have several all over the house, and I love them as much as I do design. They clean our air, they provide us with Oxygen and they are simply beautiful to look at. No two are the same and that makes all plants exceedingly special. I also garden a lot, so that's fun.

5.) Humor: I love laughing, joking, and being sarcastic. I feel like a million bucks when I'm able to make people laugh.

6.) Good food: I am a lover of fine dining. I am always up for a unique dining experience and multi cultural meals. I am not one to live off of 3 types of food for my entire life. I enjoy trying new things and am open to almost every type of food one can offer. I also love cooking, so good food is necessary.

Jim, my family's well being, cult TV, art/museums/shows/school, stuff like that, but I mostly think about my future. I don't care about my past, pointless to dwell.

Lately I have been thinking about starting a family with Jim and adding more stuff to my "baby hope chest". I can't wait!

I am spending my Friday night with my husband going out to dinner, playing video games, watching movies, or just talking (possibly all of the above).

In the summer we are more likely to be out (camping, swimming, hiking); but like most folks, in the winter we go out to dinner, catch a new movie or stay in and watch one or play a game. We are very solitary people.

I actually can't wait to me a mom. I have been kind of obsessed with the idea lately. I am sewing diapers, buying baby gear, and reading tons of books to be ready when we decide to start trying.

I don't know, you want to chat? I don't really care anymore though, because I have a husband that I plucked from the very loins of this website. I'm only here now to take tests and answer questions for fun, and keep a record of a usable profile for use on other sites. ;-)
