Zine(s) you write: Let's see zines I have done include: Slippin' Bananas' Newsletter/ SBN (1994-1995), Rebel in Magenta (1996- 2004), What Comes Around Goes Around (2000- 2002), I Want My Baby [the miscarriage zine] (2004), Hanna's Pink Pajamas (24 hour zine, 2007) & Dirty July (2006- present; issue #2 came out in July!!!!!). I have also made a few one off zines with friends that probably never circulated too!! They are all mainly perzines with the exception of the first zines I have ever done, mainly being "review" zines. Dirty July #2 is the only zine I currently have available.
Share a fun fact about yourself.
I work at an amusement park. I suppose that is fun!! I've been there 15 years now. I don't actually work in the park though, so I don't run a ride or work a stand or anything cool like that, but I do work for the housing department and I get to meet people from all over the world!! That part, I love!! I actually still keep in touch with one guy I worked with in 2000 from Slovakia!!
What is your favorite quote?
"It can't rain all the time" My #1 stand by quote!!
Do you collect anything?
I have an obsession with buying stickers, paper, office supplies. I also collect zines & records (for my own enjoyment, not for value)!!! I used to collect spoons (thanks to my mom!!!) but I haven't bought any new ones in a long long time.
What is your favorite childhood book?
The first book that comes to mind is The 12 Days of Christmas!! Maybe I'm in the Christmas spirit!! haha I sure did love that book though. I now share it with my kids!
What are you afraid of?
I am afraid of failure. This is something I need to over-come. I haven't done a lot of the things I have wanted to do because of this fear.
