CraftAnonymous

In the rare moments when I manage to escape my job, I like to spend time with my family. I also try to squeeze in a few moments for crafts--sewing, knitting and crocheting. I write once in awhile, though not as much as I should. I read more than I write, but I still don't do it as often as I should. I'm a big fan of naps and I'm not afraid to admit that I watch tv.

Just in case you were wondering, I'm scared of:

Death
Falling down in public
Falling down in private
Freddy Krueger
Googling my name/lack of privacy (Facebook, you're on notice!)

I like most music, but here are some of my favorites. I know, it's kind of a schizophrenic list. Forgive me.

Layne Staley (Mad Season/AIC)
deftones
Violent Femmes Bad Religion
Nirvana
Fleetwood Mac
Social D
The Doors
Ozzy Osbourne
Billy Joel
The Pixies
Pearl Jam

This is an even more difficult list than music. I have so many favorites it's ridiculous. Here's just a few. I feel kind of bad leaving the other 15983540 out.

Catcher in the Rye--Salinger
Center of Everything--Moriarty
A Walk in the Woods--Bryson
Pale Fire--Nabakov
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and The Bean Trees--Kingsolver
On Writing--King

It kind of annoys me when my friends tell me they don't watch TV. Yeah, right. So I won't lie, here's what I set to record on Tivo (or watch for free online):

United States of Tara
Lost (if they don't answer my questions I'm going to lose my mind!)
Parenthood
Nurse Jackie
The Office
30 Rock
House
The Simpsons
Modern Family
Life Unexpected
Cougar Town (what a stupid name)
Desperate Housewives

I also watch Food Network whenever I'm sad, because food can only make you feel better.

And I shouldn't leave out the Phoenix Suns. I watch almost every game.

Fortune cookies
Letterpress
Kermit the Frog
Buttons/badges
Postcards
Stationary
Stickers
Crafts
Owls
Foxes (my son is obsessed!)
Peacocks
Books
Seeds
Happiness
Mushrooms

Anything quirky or offbeat is just perfect for me, and I love handmade.

*Disclaimer: In real life I like lots of these things just fine (food especially), just not in my mailbox!

Food/drink/gum
Animal prints
Teacher stickers/rewards
Holiday themed items
Movie/tv themed items
Bath products
Pornography
Feathers
Dragons/fairies
Anime

Anything that will give me bad dreams!
