About Amber...

My name is Amber! I'm 27 years old, and I work in the field of education and literacy. I am happily married to a man that's intelligent and geeky enough to manage his own electronics store. We have two small children, aged 6 and 8. We enjoy music, but are not the musical type - as in, our girls take piano and violin, we just listen to them practice and pay for their lessons.

I am stubborn, vaguely sarcastic, level headed, and happy as a clam. I love to meet new people. My sense of humor is questionable at the best of times (read: I can be rather vulgar and inappropriate). I work with youth, some troubled, some gifted, all interesting and deeply creative in their own way. I am a life long learner. I have dreadlocks, which might throw you off the whole "into education" vibe. My earlobes are stretched, and I also have some tattoos. My employers are amazing, and I love the conversations I can get into as a result.

Interests/Hobbies: Since I work part time in a library, I can say with conviction that I am a voracious reader. I'll read anything you throw at me. I also knit, and am a member in good standing with the local knitting group. Oh, the crazy conversations that have cropped up over the past year. I am a terrible gardener, but that doesn't stop me from trying. I've killed many plants, and our old cat used to eat anything else that looked like it was growing higher than 5 inches. Bugger.

Music: Tom Waits, Amanda Palmer, The Dresden Dolls, Disturbed (also Device), Concrete Blonde, BeeGees, K.D. Lang, 4 Non Blondes, David Bowie, Queen, Freddie, Mercury, Kimbra, Walk Off the Earth, Skinny Puppy, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Jeff Buckley, The Horrorpops, Tool (also Puscifer and A Perfect Circle), Ohgr, Otis Redding, The Smiths, Radiohead, Morrissey, Rocket From the Crypt, Elliot Smith, The Doors, The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Assemblage 23, Bob Dylan, Mindless Self Indulgence, Metric, Serena Ryder, Tiesto, Katie Herzig.

Movies: Tokyo Gore Police, A Clockwork Orange, Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Evil Dead (haven't seen the remake yet), Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Martyrs, Suckerpunch, Irreversible, Audition, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, Choke, Trainspotting, Taxi Driver, and so on and on. I'm into movies, I keep an open mind.

Books: O GOOD LORT, I CAN READ! I might end up getting carried away with my favorite books, like I did with my favorite music list. Best recent book I've finished was Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Best hilarious book was Let's Pretend This Never Happened by the Bloggess.

TV: Bates Motel, Duck Dynasty, Hoarders, Mythbusters, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural (Cas 4 Life), Glee!, Doctor Who, Fringe, Dexter, and True Blood

I love interesting postcards that tell a story. Local postcards. Vintage postcards. No religious propaganda, though!
