Music is life for me - so kinda hard to answer this. I listen to country, oldies, classic rock, jazz/big band, celtic, medieval tunes and almost everything except rap.
Who is your favorite band(s)?
See answer about favorite singer, though my new listening experience right now is: Nouvelle Vague (thanks to a thread here on DPF)
Which celebrity was your first crush?
I don't know which I'm more embarassed by - Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) or Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show). . the latter I blame theatre for (really admired him more for the ability to pull that character off so well, plus the ability to walk in heels and look as good as he did)
What do you dislike?
Mean people, not being there for family/friends, people who follow the speed limit when I'm speeding (because they either slow me down or make me stand out to the cops), not having an infinite pin budget, math
Do you have any allergies?
Cats, environmental (pollen, dust, cigarette smoke sometimes), close minded people, mean tomfoolery/b.s.
Do you like handmade/homemade items?
Definitely!!!! 🙂 Creativity for the win!
Do you like customized items?
Love them!
Do you like personalized items?
Yes, but sadly not able to find them mass produced most of the time - Cassandra or Cassie is very hit or miss.
If you collect pins, which pin(s) do you consider your Holy Grail?
Truthfully, I've already obtained it! 🙂 The DV Maleficent was my holiest of holy grails, and I was able to find her at an amazing deal last year. The Be Our Guest CM Exclusive (93680) pin has become like a mini grail, as I've had it slip out of my hands at least 3 times since it's release. Otherwise, they're all just hugely wanted pins.
How long have you been collecting pins?
3 years if you count when I picked up my first pin on our honeymoon, otherwise 2.5 since my sister-in-law got me truly hooked on it.
Other than pins, what do you collect?
Weird friends that become like family, Dragons, Sharp & Pointy things (swords and daggers), the Disney miniature figurines (the itty bitty ones)
How long have you been collecting those non-pin items?
My lifetime; 8 years; 10 years; 10 months
What country do you live in?
USA
Will you ship internationally?
I can, but would prefer not to due to previous issues.
Tell me about yourself.
I'm 27 & have been married to my husband (Big Red) for 3 years. We live with my sister, whom we take care of due to her disabilities. Over the last 10 years, I've had a myriad of jobs, which have varied immensely (hot dog shop; NASCAR; Juvenile Justice Residential Treatment Facility; Children's Mental Health; Instructional Assistant working with Children with Autism; Fulltime Caregiver/private duty nurse). Disney, nature, and Renaissance Fairs are my release and "reset buttons". I tend to have ADD & OCD - So everything has to be perfect, but only for a short time! I can be super confusing to try and figure out, but once you do, it all makes sense somehow. My family and friends are the world to me, and I can be loyal and stubborn to a fault. Anything else you want to know, please just ask! 🙂
