Hi! My name is Ami and I'm just your typical college girl in San Diego. UPDATE Am currently in Japan to study abroad for a year :D** I just found this place on accident, researching for a project, but the concept sounds so cool, so here I am! Still not sure how this whole thing works, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon enough. I love everything sports related, I play volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, soccer, heck I'll do anything if it'll get my blood pumping. I sing also..and am lucky enough to be part of the best hula halau (school) in the world! I believe in karma so I try to be the best person to myself and others, religiously I don't know what I am yet, but I'm not too worried about it now. I love everything and anything about life and I'm excited to explore the world! Can't wait to hear from you!

Oh, also, if you are expecting something from me, and don't get it in a timely fashion, PLEASE let me know and i WILL fix it!!!

Legal disclaimer The mail system at my school is awful, and since joining swap-bot, i have had many problems with postcards being returned to me, (for some reason, its only a problem with postcards...) so if my swaps are late, i apologize in advance, and thank you for understanding!!

I love everything. From oldies to rap to honestly everything. If I like it, I'll stick it on my ipod. I was brought up on Hawaiian and Oldies mostly. But my study playlist is solid classical, partial to Pachebel and Bach though.

I absolutely ADORE books. Total bookworm. I'll read anything. Am currently reading Ryunosuke Akutagawa's Rashomon and various articles on biohacking

To be honest, I'm not really that into movies. I can't sit still and do nothing but stare at a screen for two hours. If im studying or making crafts or something, that's cool but otherwise, unless its a horror movie, i'll probably pass.

Law and Order, LOST, NCIS, other crime shows, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, O'Grady, That 70's Show.

I love crafts. It's kind of my life. Every birthday card I've ever given has been handmade, so cardmaking, scrapbooking, sewing, embellishing, origami, ATC's, I suppose mostly paper crafts. Oh, but i do enjoy making friendship bracelets. I like to think I'm pretty creative, so I'm down to do anything handmade!

Receiving postcards with a note from someone far away is my favorite! No matter what's on it I'm sure to love it pretty much!

I love animals of all sorts; i have two long-haired chihuahuas so those have a special spot in my heart. I also love places, and traveling. I love anything foreign. I have a newfound obsession with Sweden. Also love Italy, Spain, Greece, England, Paupa New Guinea, France, the Carribean, Tahiti, (Okay, lets be real, anywhere besides the US and i'll love it! *Not to say I don't like the US, I'm just...from there. Haha)

Sports are basically my life, when I'm not playing them, I love watching the Portland Trailblazers and Manchester United FC. I'd love to recieve a ManU postcard, I've never seen one before in the US. I love comic strips, my favorites US one is Mutts. I also love pikachu, starbucks, colorful things, lace, GLITTER and SEQUINS and i could eat subway every day :) My favorite color in general is turquoise, my favorite color to wear is red or royal blue, and if it's sports related its red&black or red&white (cause those are my teams!) I also love neon colors or bright colors and I don't have a least favorite because all colors are beautiful!

I adore sweets! I'd love to try foreign ones from all over! Some of may favorites are: sour gummy worms, sour candy, fizzy candy, Kinder Bueno bars, Kinder Eggs, most fruity and chocolatey things actually. I'm not a fan of minty things or nuts, but besides that, I'll most likely love it!

i like my mom.
