About Me

Addendum: Going to South Korea the beginning of September.

NOTE: If you are my partner and you are sending something to me after august 20th, please mail it to 525 11th Street Fort Collins CO 80524 USA. I'll be done with training and I don't want to risk it getting lost cuz the Army can't figure out where to send my mail. Thanks!

After some tough times, a temporary suspension, and joining the Army, I'm finally back. I'm trying real hard to get my swap score up. I'm mainly joining letter and postcard swaps since that's something simple I can get out quick. I understand some people who are running swaps are going to be reluctant to let me in, so if so, let me know so I don't actually do the swap then find out I'm banned. Thanks and happy swapping.

I'm 24, graduated from one of the military academies in 2006, and I'm (still) in the process of becoming an Army officer, but I'm currently a 68X, Mental Health Specialist. I'm an old soul my family says, apparently born in the wrong era. Mainly because I believe in chivalry and virtue and such things. And I crochet and sew and stuff. But I'm also like most normal 24 year olds. I love to read, watch movies, and listen to music.

Favorite Music

I love every type of music. My favorite songs of all time are Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", Dean Martin's "That's Amore", and Metallica's "Enter Sandman". Strange choices I know. I would die without music and my taste varies from day to day.

Favorite Movies

Gone with the Wind is my all time favorite, followed closely by The Godfather (Part 1). A Bronx Tale and A Beautiful Mind are up there. I like movies that move me.

Favorite Television

Heroes, Supernatural, Desperate Housewives, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, House, CSI. And I have previously loved X Files, Buffy, and Dark Angel.

Well, that's what I would watch if I had the time, or a tv.

Favorite Crafts

Crafts I Want To Try: *Matchboxes *ATC's (again)

Crafts I Like:

Favorite Books

I love books. My favorite genre of book are the classics (shocking I know). My favorites are Gone with the Wind, anything by Dickens but especially Great Expecations, anything by Alexandra Dumas especially The Three Musketeers trilogy (in English or French). My favorite modern writer is Phillipa Gregory.

Things I Like

*pirates *mythological birds (such as the phoenix or gyrfalcon) *the Army *books and reading *quotes

Things I Don't Like

*real birds (except birds of prey) *the Army

Comment: You contacted me once about re-sending because the package probably got lost in the mail. That was the only contact made. I send a few messages and wasn't given a response, but I could see that the messages were read. Even though it was late [which most likely wasn't your fault], I appreciate you sending again.

Comment: Your postcard took a trip around town because my name is Sasy - not Sara - but in the end it found its way into my mailbox. Thank you so much. :)
Response: I'm so sorry! I knew that your name was Sasy, I don't know why I wrote Sara.

Hi Captain, I received the elephant stuffie today. She's got style, she's got flair...but I was a 'monkey something' for Crafty PIB. No worries on this end, but your stuffie receiver might be surprised by a monkey intruder! :D

Hi,

I know that you are a good swapper and good person, just with a lot of crap going on right now. Just know that if you need to shut or scream, I'm here...
