30 Day Challenge: Day One

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts

Hello, I'm Kristen, occasionally known on blogger as Kristen Quixotic.

This is me and a pinata!

1. More than anything I would like to work at a fashion magazine and do page layouts.
2. I have a ten year old Golden  Retriever named Penny.
3. I grew up in a small town in Rhode Island and hate that I still live there a few months out of the year.
4. I attend school in Boston, Massachusetts and love almost everything in Boston.
5. I am obsessed with Harajuku Lovers Perfume and aspire to collection every single one. (I have two and a half collections out of the current four.)
6. I have a tattoo of the word Love on my wrist and want to get a bird cage on my forearm next.
7. I (not so) secretly want to be a pin up girl.
8. I don't drink soda or anything carbonated.
9. I want to live in Europe for at least a year after college.
10. I love to draw.
11. I will purchase basically anything with a pattern, design or vintage-looking picture. I'm pathetic in that way.
12. I read a lot.
13. I'm sort of a stickler for proper grammar and I try to speak correctly even in text messages.
14. I work at a shoe store and thus own more shoes than I care to admit.
15. I get more excited than you could ever guess when I have a new follower or comment or view on my blog.

Thanks for sticking with me through my fifteen facts. Here's the full challenge; I hope you give it a shot too!
