All about Jules
About me
I am an 20-something high school English teacher who loves everything that has to do with King Henry VIII and all the Tudors following him. I love all things Firefly, Serenity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Joss Whedon. He is my deity. =)
I also love Alice in Wonderland, giraffes, hippos, anime, and all things Lolita.
My favorite animes are: Rosario+Vampire, One Piece, and Chobits. (I cannot stand Naruto or Bleach)
In my free time i enjoy dressing in elegant gothic lolita clothing. I tend to gravitate towards the more classic styles but i enjoy wearing non-pink sweets. most of my loli closet are reds, blacks, white and ivories. I hate the giant head-eating bows. they look dumb on me.
I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends in my freetime. i have a wonderful fiance who is silly and wonderful and currently living 5 hours away from me because of school and i miss him all the time. I have loving parents who drive me crazy. two sisters who are crazy. and a hyperactive italian grayhound named loki.
Favorite Music
showtunes (i really love the music from Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee)
Country (Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Johnny Cash, and Taylor Swift are among my favorites)
Indie/Rock (Garbage, Stone Temple Pilots, Morningwood)
I don't like Lady Gaga. She annoys me
Favorite Books
Anything by Tamora Pierce (She's my all-time favorite author)
Dragonriders of Pern series
Phillippa Gregory books
The Ender series by Orson Scott Card
Harry Potter
Mercedes Lackey books - particularly the Owlknight series
Fahrenheit 451
Lord of the Flies
I don't like the gossip girl books and i despise Stephanie Meyer for making an entire generation think that vampires sparkle and that crap passes as good literature. (no, i will not teach twilight in my classroom instead of the crucible so quit asking me, kids. I'd rather stab myself in the eyeball with a spoon)
Favorite Movies
Center Stage
Boondock Saints
Enchanted
Alice in Wonderland

- A white cotton petticoat like this one: http://www.qutieland.com/product.php?id=499 (you may have to refresh the page so it shows up properly)(i have tulle ones but they irritate my legs so i end up pulling the petti off before i even get to my event so i end up with limp skirts. =( *VERY BIG WISH*)
- A brown/golden brown cloak for ren faires
- dinosaur themed baby stuff (sizes newborn to 18 months)
- A soap making kit because I have always wanted to learn how to make soap. i would love a cold process kit but melt and pour would be fine. (i know you can't mail me lye but i can get that on my own)
- simpsons themed or one piece themed throw pillows for my couch. i can stuff them and close them if you would like to just send me the casings
- a sturdy diaper bag that is large enough to fit a small can of formula, two bottles, a small hot water thermos, two changes of clothes, and a couple of small toys. Maybe something with a lot of pockets and a elastic piece in the corner to keep the thermos upright? Oh! And it needs to close with a zipper or something. I have 1.667 yards of this adorable dinosaur fabric I would love for the bag to be made out of. I can mail you the fabric if you pick this.
- Wet bags in several sizes - I need one i can hang up for my reusable towels. I also need one for wet swimsuits and one small ziplock bag sized for my reusable make up remover pads. Maybe this one could also have a pocket for the dry pads?
- Reusable sandwich wrappers
- Reusable snack bags
-Handmade paper - lots of it. I want to make my wedding invitations out of homemade papers. Whites, creams, and pale pinks would be perfect!

- Dryer balls - I need about 12 of them total. I’ve decided that this year, I am doing frugal home baskets for my sister and mom and I stink at making dryer balls.
- 12 inch quilt blocks in reds, pinks, blacks, and offwhites. whatever patterns you want to do. I’m making a hodgepodge quilt using squares made by other people. I love how they end up looking. =)
- a sock monkey in any color but orange. Unless its like a rainbow or patterned sock. If you can make me one with a mom tattoo like in the car commercial, i will love you FOREVER!
- an apron - cupcakes or dinosaurs or stripes or polka dots or whatever. =) half apron would be good. examples in my wist
- homemade soaps - any scent other than vanilla or coconut as those give me headaches.
