Discordia

Hello! I'm Lauren. I'm 26 and living in Seattle, WA with the BF, a handful of roommates, and two spoiled cats. I dabble in all kinds of artistic endeavors from screenprinting to music-playing, and being bad at some of these things doesn't stop me from doing them anyway. Let's swap some bad art :)

-Screenprinting (see my Etsy link for some examples!)

-Crochet

-Jewelry Making

-Creative Writing

-Duct Tape crafts

-ATCs

This list could go on forever, so top ten!

1. A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess
2. The Harry Potter Series
3. Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
4. The Illuminatus Trilogy, by Robert Anton Wilson
5. All HP Lovecraft's stuff
6. The Odd Thomas Series, by Dean Koontz
7. Spook, by Mary Roach
8. American Gods, by Neil Gaiman
9. House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski
10. Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut

And don't even get me started on comics an graphic novels. I'll pretty much read anything. Big book nerd over here.

Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and foreign films. Especially quirky/comedic ones (intentionally or otherwise, haha.) To get an idea, here's a few:

-Hedwig and the Angry Inch

-Jeunet and Caro films (Amelie, City of the Lost Children, etc.)

-Mars Attacks!

-Cabin in the Woods

-Drag Me To Hell

-Army of Darkness

-Shaun of the Dead

-Oldboy

-A Clockwork Orange

-Mirrormask

-All of Jan Svankmajer's stuff

-Pontypool

-Pretty much all zombie films

I like ALL kinds of music, there's something in every genre that I like. But I mainly listen to metal, punk, industrial and some quieter alt-folky stuff.

Many of the people in my life are musical, including myself. I play drums and accordion (badly) and have a "weird instrument" collection with assorted percussion instruments, concertinas and accordions, a tremoloa, and different ukuleles. All of which I intend to figure out over time. Send me pointers, if you've got some!

Also, my boyfriend is in two awesome bands in the Seattle area:

A God or An Other

Bréag Naofa

So if you're into heavy music check 'em out!

I don't actually have a TV, but here's some stuff I've streamed off Netflix:

-The Walking Dead

-Dexter

-American Horror Story

-Carnivale

-Deadwood

-Metalocalypse

-Queer as Folk

-Game of Thrones

-The X-Files

And I have a secret soft spot for Project Runway and RuPaul's drag race :)

I'm a regular old omnivore, and not much of a tea person, but my boyfriend LOVES tea and is a vegan, so feel free to send me any kinds of tea and vegan/vegetarian recipes!

Believe it or not, even though I live in a huge city, there is no post offices on my side of town. I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off work though, so that's when I can get over to the next neighborhood to send them!

Nothing right now...carry on!
