About Me

  • april 18 news* I'll be taking a short break in hosting swaps, I'll fullfill round 17 and will be back in less than a month for the rest. Right now I plan on hosting till round 20 and the last of the elements stuffie swap, then see how it goes. You can of course host your own small stuffie swap but please try not to use the teeny tiny stuffie swap or teeny tiny something swap* name as it might confuse people *

!About my adress! if you have any doubt it goes like that:

  • Lat***** Sab*****

  • 1 square *****

  • 78150 le ch*****

  • France

A few random facts about me: - I’m a 21 years old girl. -
I’m a third year student in industrial design , I’d like to graduate in packaging.
° I’m a photographer for a French punk webzine, .
° I have a pet rat, she's the most adorable thing ever (she's the one in my profile picture).
° I’m a sweet tooth on recovery, I'm probably getting old and don't crave sugar as much as before.. ° I love everything cute and kawaii but can’t find much around, I have some stickers and loose memo sheet, only a 'full' monokuro boo notepad, not my favorite but I'm not picky and it was a gift ^^.
° I've been making bento lunch for three years now, I'd love any accesories or recipe if you have any to share (for cold bento ).
° I’m a lot into design, industrial design, packaging and graphic design.
° I’m only allergic to insect bite, please don’t send me any bee ^^.
° I dream about going to Japan one day and I'm learning japanese.
° I lived in Brazil for 4 years.
° I'm always the one bugging my parents to turn of the light and re-use things, I try to be as green as I can. So I often re-use packaging/bubble enveloppes to send my swaps. ° shipping time can be tricky since i'm international, so please ask me before rating with a no-sent
° I still occasionaly play drums, but would love to try the trumpet
° I'm not an overly girly-girl, mostly indie or geeky style of clothing/accesories
° I love baking, cake, cupcakes, muffins, cinamon sticky rolls, bread, you name it, if it's got sugar or yeast I'm in it ° I'm a geek and proud of it!

Favorite Music

I listen to quite a lot of music, mostly punk, olschool hardcore, indie, ska, 'geek punk' rockabilly and some classical.

Favourite bands would be the likes of Bad religion, the aquabats, Jets to brazil, modern life is war, Pedro the lion, Alkaline trio, Brand new, Modest Mouse, streetlight manifesto, big D and the kids table, the Tokyo ska paradise orchestra, against me!, Rival schools, groovie ghoulies, ... I get to a lot of shows (whenever I can) since I'm a photographer for a french punk webzine

Favorite Books

Favourite books are mostly science fiction and fantasy, I have all of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchet, most Douglas Adam, H.P.Lovecraft, Jules Verne..

My all time farourites are
-“The perk of being a wallflower” by Stephen Stephen Chbosky, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, "This perfect day " by Ira Levin, " Ashes, ashes " by Barjavel and " To kill a mocking bird" by Lee Harper

and I've started reading Shakespeare in english, some are actualy quite funny!

Favorite Movies

I love animation movies like Wall-e, Toy story, the Ice Age, Miyazaki and the likes, and I guess comedies and a few ‘indie’ movies ( Half-nelson, juno ) when I can get to the movie theatre. And french comedie ones that non-french probably wouldn't reconize.

Favorite Television

Fav one is definitely Dr Who, torchwood, Mythbuster, Bones, followed by CSI las Vegas, House, Grey's anatomy, my name is Earl, Scrubs, the I.T crew, NCIS, discovery chanel's things like 'how it's made' 'superstructures', fringe, Dexter, Heroes (just starting )

edit: Dr who, dr. who, and dr.who! My first doctor is David Tennant, I haven't been able to see the older ones altough I would like to. There's probably not a lot of whovian in France, so I don't have alot of oportunities to swon over my favorite timelord...

Favorite Crafts

I’m mostly into painting, drawing and sewing and a few attempts at other things (carving). I would like to learn how to crochet when I see all those cute arigumi. And notebooks, I had to come up with a few different ones last year for school and it was fun. I'm trying to get enough courage to start zines but always procrastinate.. I don't make ATC or Scrapbooking per say, but I love me some nice paper

my favorites / dislikes

favorites

  • Not limited to : bright primary color, teal, aqua blue, turquoise - burgondy/cream combo

  • if print/drawing/stuffie most animals but not too fond off dogs. I like dinosaures, octopusses, weird insects, cute rodent, penguins...

  • I'm not picky about kawaii, just not too fond of 'real animal picture kawaii', I love rilokuma and mamegoma (but they're not the only ones)

    • regarding Zombies, Aliens, Vampires, Monsters and Robots. I like them all, preff are alien and robots and monsters but I rather not get anything to 'gore'. Take it as a chance to make me discover something you love!

Dislikes

trying to list them.. I'm not really picky tho

  • muddy colors,
  • religious items
  • diddl
  • live-like spiders, I'm okay with cute spiders

I'd love to get/trade:

  • I'm looking for a pack of 8 or 12 crayola twistable colored pencils or twistable crayons ( but I'm more for the pencils ones). They seem to be about 4$ a pack and an average ridiculous 10$ of shipping cost if I get them from the internet so if you think you can get them cheaper for me and are looking for something from France contact me!

  • small round black beads for my stuffies ( for the eyes), can't seem to find any suitable here. (yeah! some adorable swapper send me some! so I have 'eyes' and now looking for a few small buttons/charm I could use on my stuffies ).

I like:

Sci-Fi * Pirates * and ninjas * things geeky * and steampunk * Doctor who * the Discworld * (childrens) illustrations * screenprint * charms and trinkets * german 3D grafitti * street art * photography * spaceships * kawaii * robots * and rockabilly * Design * doctor who * graphic design and packaging * Candy and baking * Black and white pictures * 120 format photography * Rub on letters * polka-dots, cupcakes * kawaii * food with face * Hogwart themed things ( gryffindor ) * Japan * cute ribbon * The doctor * Ewoks *

regarding swaps

° I always sent out on time (or would let my partner know otherwise) so if you haven't gotten your swap in the normal timeframe please let me know.

° I always rate the day I receive (or as soon as I can), if you think I may have forgotten to rate you don't hesitate to ask, I won't consider it rude or anything.

° I rate hearts according to the whow factor, not for extras. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate extras if they're related to the swap and even got great ones, but I don't feel that you have to send some for a heart, consider keeping the extra shipping money for future swaps instead of sending random items.

° I sometimes send extra of the swap required item (like stuffies or photos..) not on the view of getting a heart but thinking my partner might like them too/ it is relevant to the subject/ I couldn't choose which one to send. I don't send other extras (unless I know my partner need/love something) because I mostly don't have anything to send in my neck of the wood.

Hi! I have a swap that seems to be right up your ally going on... it's called My Pet Rat and it's a letter mail art pen pal kind of thing sharing all about your pet rat. Please check it out. I would love for you to join & meet other rattie lovers across the world. Thanks!

missxpistol on Mar 2, 2010:

Antonina on Feb 11, 2010:

UnfoundedHope on Nov 22, 2009:

Hey sorry I never PM'd you, I honestly just forgot. I was really psyched but I guess I'll just have to wait.

Hi! Welcome to my new group, Zombies, Aliens, Vampires, Monsters and Robots! And any other creepy cuteness you can think of :) Take a look at our first swap and get stuck in! P.S. I share your love of David Tennant - Casanova could not have been as sexy in real life! x
