Hi!

I'm Kristen, one part of the Rats, Cats, and Other Stuff We Love blog. This being my very first post, I figured I'd do something of an introduction.




The boring stuff: I'm 20, and I study Women's Studies and Sociology at Central Michigan University. I'm in my third year here, and it looks like I have 2 more to go before I'm done.

The slightly more interesting stuff: I like sewing, feminism, Japanese, riot grrrl, and Netflix. Most of my days are spent at work and class, and at night I like to indulge in some tea and sew something pretty. Reading also takes up a big part of my time, and my favorite author is Haruki Murakami.

I have two pet rats named Margot Tenenbaum and Edie Sedgwick, and I love them very very much. They are the sweetest little critters, and they've only ruined a few of my things so far.

Recently, I started my own zine, called better days (which is also the name of an album by the Goo Goo Dolls, apparently). It's about anything I like and decide to write about--so far, I've covered Audrey Horne and Twin Peaks, Sylvia Plath, and my struggle with depression. It is laid out on 1-page, newsletter style. It is $1 (including shipping) on etsy, but I also accept trades, stamps, friendly letters, etc.

I can also be found on Tumblr!
