1. Age: 34

2. Gender: Girl

3. Fave color: Red, but I also like emerald green and sapphire blue

4. Books: well, I already have a pretty good collection of history and music and craft books - but I could use some more COOKbooks! (see #5)

5. I have been wanting some cookbooks of specialty cuisines, like Cajun, Mediterranean, Mexican, etc.

6. I like most all kinds of music except jazz.

7. CDs I have been wanting: what the heck is that lady's name that plays the hardanger fiddle? Annelien Bjorg or something like that? Anyway she has a CD called Baba Yaga that's been on my list awhile... also Bizet's Carmen ... also any belly dancing music... gypsy fiddle music... Flaco Jimenez...

8. The Red Violin! It can be had used for about $10. (I am not too proud to take used, my friends.)

9. Medium.

10. I collect Peter Rabbit/Beatrix Potter trinkets/toys, violin trinkets, cowboy trinkets, drop spindles, knitting needles, BEADS........... also I am very fond of nice papers and pens.

11. Other hobbies. Well.... knitting, spinning (on a drop spindle), belly dancing, Tae Bo, beadwork, soapmaking, calligraphy, a little watercolor painting...

12. Gold or silver either one. I have both and wear both.

13. Anything else... I also like hot sauce, and have a fairly nice collection going of spicy stuff. Coffee and tea and chocolate, I also love. I am especially fond of handcrafted goodies, and it is very likely that whoever gets matched up with me will get something of that nature! I am not allergic to anything that I know of. :-)
