katyism

I'm a very various type of person. I'm into a lot of different things, my interests and favorites should give you a basic idea. I hope I've included the basics you may need to know for swapping with me.

It's hard to offend me and the dark, edgier things in life are more my thing rather than soft and fluffy things -- except kittens! I love cats.

The Language of Mathematics, Nickel and Dimed, The Language Instinct, The Working Poor, Freakonomics, 1984, Brave New World, The Math Instinct, Maus, The Electric Meme, Diary of Anne Frank, The Ethical Slut, Godel Escher Bach, I am a Strange Loop, The Phantom Tollbooth, Spectacles, Harriet the Spy, Days of War Nights of Love, Evasion, the Ethics of Star Trek, Alice In Wonderland, the Metaphysics of Star Trek

also I've been wanting to start reading the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, but I haven't read any yet.

Tideland, Secretary, The Neverending Story, Willow, The Dark Crystal, The Shining, The House of Yes, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Labyrinth, The Goonies, Idiocracy, Silence of the Lambs, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Bound, But I'm a Cheerleader

Star Trek, Skins, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, Undercover Boss, Tales from the Crypt, The Simpsons, Gossip Girl, Better Off Ted, True Blood, the Tudors, Weeds, Pee-Wee's Playhouse

Jewelry making & beadwork, collage & paper crafts (but NOT scrapbooking in its pure sense), polymer clay, digital/graphic design

Tiny plastic animals, vending machine toys, unique beads, metal charms, small random "found objects" (I seem to find charms and things everywhere), cigarette cases, lighters, pipes, and other smoking paraphernalia, rainbows and color blocking, anything black or silver, anything picturing a dragonfly, Pee-wee Herman and other cheesy 80's memorabilia, anything "novelty" that you don't find in every dollar store, satirical things

Black and red is my favorite color combo. Or just black :) Or black and white.. or black and gray... or black and anything. But I have been into rainbows and gradients and duotones and stuff lately. OK OK yes I like black, alright?

This list could go on forever. Some of my favorite bands are below, but in general I like new wave, depressing indie, electronic, surf rock, doo-wop, industrial, reggae, and OLD country (from before I was born, not that new stuff).
