My name is Morgan, but no one ever uses my first name unless they're angry. I live in a high-rise, can't swim, love photography, going to museums (especially the weird ones- Wyoming Barbed Wire Museum, anyone?), theatre, and indie rock. I'm studying to be an art teacher and I'd have a pet, but I'm afraid it wouldn't like me.

-Modest Mouse

-Tegan and Sara

-Wilco

-Of Montreal

-Gogol Bordello

-80s goth rock- Siouxsie, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Death in June, all the rest- I'm a recovering Goth at heart and I've been known to break out the black vinyl on occasion :)

I knit and crochet, although I crochet much better than I knit (how's that for a puzzle?). I paint and I'm passable at drawing, but my first love and life's work is photography.

I collage as a stress-reliever. It's occasionally produced some lovely and bizarre things. I can see why the Surrealists had such a great time with it.

I'm a vegetarian, and I have coeliac disease, so for the purposes of food/recipe swaps, I definitely need gluten-free stuff!

I collect cosmetics and at one point considered going to cosmetology school. I love receiving expired 35mm film- it's the best for projects, color or b&w, so if you have any from the days when you still shot film and want to throw it into a swap, I'd love you forever :)

My favorite colors are grey and green, and I carry chap-stick, a scarf, and superglue everywhere. You never know when you'll be cold, chapped, or slightly broken on short notice.

(or when you'll need disparate objects for peaceful negotiation, MacGyver style.)
