About Me

  • About Me: I'm a jewelry appraiser and TCM student. I once had a highly successful anime site that I let go to crap over time. I'm a craftwhore and am a victim of columbiahouse video (I've bought almost 400 DVDs from them--2 years ago I only owned 6 DVDs to give you a general idea...). I love movies. I also enjoy baking and travel. *^_^*
