About Me

Hi! I'm Sara. I live in western Washington (in the US) and work in a library. Oh, and I'm a giant big geek. 8)

I watch a lot of sci-fi tv, read a lot of horror fiction, knit obsessively, and collect PEZ dispensers. And things with crows on them.

Favorite Books

Rhinegold, House of Leaves, Alice in Wonderland, Dune, Dracula, American Gods, The League of Frightened Men, Beowulf, The Monster Show, The Talisman, Gaudy Night, The Little Prince, Wind in the Willows, The Poetic Edda, the Discworld Series, etc...

I like mysteries where the detective is interesting, kidlit, mythology and folklore, sci-fi that's not too technical about the tech, fantasy that does a little more than rip off Tolkein, Lovecraftian horror, and genre fiction that makes me think.

I am also a huge fan of audiobooks and audiodrama. People reading to me = totally awesome.

Favorite Movies

Bride of Frankenstein. Gods, but I love that film. Classic horror movies in general, really.

Also Elling, Hard Core Logo, Re-Animator, The Neverending Story, The Last Unicorn, Dark City, Cube, and so on.

Favorite Television

Doctor Who, DS9, Babylon 5, Farscape, Buffy, Sappire & Steel, Firefly, Batman: TAS, Avatar, Justice League, Twin Peaks. Cartoons and sci-fi - I said I was a geek, right?

Favorite Crafts

Knitting. I like to write, also. And I'm willing to try any kind of craft once. 8)

I really like writing swaps, but I have a possibly unfortunate tendency to sneak Lovecraft jokes into most of my creative writing. I feel it's only right that people be warned beforehand.

I like

Crows/ravens

Cephalopods

Halloween things

Monsters (most especially the Bride of Frankenstein but most of the Universal Horror line are okay by me)

Vampires (but not Twilight, please. I like to think of myself as an old school vampire fan - 1800's old school.)

PEZ dispensers - especially older ones. (If someone has a PEZ gun they don't want, I will gladly take it off your hands)

Sock yarn

Tea. Well, most tea. I don't like bergamot, so I tend to avoid Earl Greys, but I'm at least willing to try anything else.

Robots

Dinosaurs

Rocket ships

Candles

Scarecrows

Rag dolls

Shiny things. Which I mean in a fairly corvine sense - I like buttons and small stones and pieces of string and abandoned puzzle pieces and beads and, well. Things you find on the ground and pick up and put in your pockets to play with when you're bored. (Other people do that, right?) You know. Shiny things. 8)

Oh, and my favorite colors are blue, grey, dark green, and black.

I don't particularly like

Scented things. I'm sensitive to a lot of smells, especially the artificial ones they use in candles and such, so it's really better to just avoid such things.

Coffee. Tea drinker, me.

Licorice.

Christian items. I'm a heathen (Asatruar/Germanic pagan, whatever), so I'm afraid that I wouldn't be a terribly receptive audience to them. (In return, I promise not to send you wacky heathen things unless you indicate that you would be receptive to those.)

Pastel colors. Especially pink. (I know, I know.)

And, well, I don't much care for things that are overly cute or sentimental. I like kawaii to a certain degree but I'm not really into cutesy stuff.

Comment: Got your journal last night and I have to say that I have not heard many of these songs, but I love so many of them now. I spent hours going over your journal and listening to the CDs and escaping. Thanks for the CDs to go with them, it helps with the experience so much more!

Comment: I love my zombie army! The details are so so cute. I think I'm going to string them up as a garland! :) Sorry for no heart, but technically the swap items were supposed to be wrapped up like presents/gifts, and these weren't. :/

Comment: I loved your writing and explanation of your ace. I think it's really brave to be so honest and I can really see how finding that label really freed you to be yourself. Kudos to you!

Thank you so much for angeling me in the Monster in a Box swap. He did indeed travel quickly. I'm not usually so lucky to get an angel so thanks, again, for being a great host!
