1. I'm not actually a mouse crab hybrid! I made the name on a role-playing website not realizing it would be my handle as well! I stuck with it! Mismatched socks on accident in real life- on purpose for the post! 2. A few of my favorite things. 3. Do you think she noticed me? 4. Long hikes! Look at the adorable bear! Nature! Yes! 5. I'm an artist kind of. 6. Did I mention I love cats?
