About

My name is Leah Peterson. I tell stories; yours, mine, and everyone’s. Most of them are true. Some are fiction. Some are so true, they have to be fiction. I get great satisfaction from manipulating WordPress with CSS and HTML. I spend a good chunk of my time writing and shooting photos. I sometimes paint and design jewelry.

Previously, I was a consultant for Showtime’s United States of Tara, seasons 1-3. You can see some press from that here. I published two issues of Creative Humans Magazine (there might be more issues in future.) You can find me on Instagram, Flickr, Twitter and Pinterest.

Let’s pretend it’s our first date and tell each other about our hobbies, ok? I’ll go first. I love paper and art and yarn. I love really bad movies. Like, really bad. (Can’t wait to see this one!) I live with mental illness and am currently doing great. My music taste is undefinable, unless you want to use the word odd, then it is totally definable. My iPod has music from Mumford & Sons to Frou Frou to Die Antwoord. (I know! So bad!) Want to listen? I made you a fast playlist and a slow playlist. You are welcome. That’s enough about me. Now, you go.

I’m old in www internet years (online since 1998 and blogging since 2002), but in real life I just turned forty, forty one, forty two so I figure my aged wisdom should be getting here pretty soon. I’ll be over there sitting in the arm chair in the corner, sipping my coffee and shooting photos of my feet until it gets here. Probably not holding my breath, though. If you want to get in touch with me, go here. Photo credit to the beautiful Karen Walrond.
