the girl in the coffin.

okay, so. about me. the girl.

i’m twenty-five, and i live in the state of pennsylvania.

i am of norwegian and german descent.

i’m in school for mortuary science, though i have worked in funeral homes since i graduated high school.

i was not born in pennsylvania; i was born in oklahoma city, oklahoma, and since my father was in the military, we moved around a lot, and settled in pennsylvania when he retired.

i’m a big video game nerd. i love the fable series to death. i also enjoy tomb raider and lara croft.

i’m heavily tattooed and i have stretched ears. currently at 1”.

i love firefly, jayne in particular. i have so many shows to watch, or buy on DVD, like buffy the vampire slayer, true blood, the tudors — i’m a big history buff, especially when it concerns england’s tudor age.

i love horror movies, especially if they involve werewolves.

i can debate almost anything, and i quite like to do so; healthy discussions are fun.

i drive a volkswagen.

i love sugar skulls and anything day of the dead related.

i love my mother, she’s my best friend. aside from my other best friend, my sister from another mister.

i suck at math, i’m amazing at english. despite the fact that i’m not capitalizing anything right now.

i don’t really watch realilty tv, outside of top chef, and project runway.

shows i watch: buffy the vampire slayer, firefly, castle, true blood, big bang theory, bones, the walking dead, pushing daisies, supernatural.

i have over twenty embroidered and weird cardigans, including one covered in beaded and sequined mermaids, and one with zombie legs and bloody lips.

i love talking with my nerd-obsessions with people, and enjoy people who know what i’m talking about, and get my obscure quotes and references.

i was briefly engaged once, when i was seventeen.

i love games like the ‘.. of mana’ series, and the aveyond series.

halloween is my favorite holiday.

i draw my eyebrows on because i dislike my natural ones; they’re too thick and grow too fast for my taste.

i used to own a ‘69 cadillac hearse. i miss it, dearly.

i am absolutely obsessed with leopard print, but i am very picky about the kind of print.

i love cold rooms and warm blankets.

i always have a fan running and my radio playing — when i was little, i used to think noise would keep away the spirits.

i miss my pop-pop. he died in 1994, when i was nine.

i love road trips.

i’ve always wanted to visit canada.

i can lay in the grass at night and look at the stars for hours.

i collect anything related to owls, or the virgin mary.

i love snow in the winter at night.

i’m a vegetarian who makes as many vegan choices as possible, but i love cheese.

boys who wear good smelling cologne make me weak in the knees.

i love betsey johnson.

i craft. i embroider things, make beaded jewelry, do found-art collages and boxes.

i love the smell of fresh cut grass.

i love helping people, even though at times i can really hate humanity.

i love rats.
