Hello! I'm a 35-year-old lady and I live in beautiful Seattle, Washington. I have a pet rabbit and use the word "awesome" entirely too much.

I'm not on Swap-bot much these days since I'm in school, but rest assured I'm still checking messages and diligently swapping/rating when I do sign up for the odd swap.

Here are a few of my interests:

• I'm a geek, I love educational stuff. Lists, graphs, history, science, anything that teaches me something new!
• I love books and libraries. Have you read any good books lately?
• I love rabbits, foxes, sharks, platypuses, and octopuses.
• I'm a closet goth (shhh, don't tell!). Edward Gorey, Edgar Allan Poe, Day of the Dead, etc. The sun is not my friend.
• I love roadside attractions. Extra kitsch = extra awesome. I will drive hours out of my way to see something billed as "The World's Largest" anything!
• I love watching roller derby and stickin' it to The Man.
• I love astronomy and constellations.
• I love good luck charms (except maybe rabbits' feet--I like those still attached to the rabbit!). What do you consider to be your good luck charm?
• I love cryptozoology (especially the jackalope -- if you send me a jackalope postcard, for any swap, I will send you a thank you card and pretty much be your BFF).
• I volunteer at Seattle's zine library. I'd love to see your zine, even (or especially) if you think it's not very good.
• I love anything strange or unique. I won't be offended by anything, I promise.

Mostly, I'm just super excited to get mail, and will be pleased with anything. 'Cause I'm easy ... like Sunday morning.

• If I could have dinner with one person, living or dead, I would choose the living one.
• The best video of all time? Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Its magnificence is undeniable.
• My favorite number is 42.

There. It's like you've known me forever, right?

I learned how to knit a few years ago, I'm slow as molasses, though. Pretty much I can knit anything as long as it's a rectangle.

I appreciate all crafty people and the DIY aesthetic, but don't have much creative ability of my own. Mad props to all of you who do!!

Mystery Science Theater 3000.

• Monty Python & the Holy Grail (yes, I'm that person).
• Ghost World.
• Shaun of the Dead.
• Dr. Strangelove.

My favorite genre is documentary.

ALL OF THEM.

No, wait, that's not right. Well, here's a few that come to mind:

• Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell / by Susanna Clarke.
• A Wrinkle in Time / by Madeleine L'Engle.
• We Have Always Lived in the Castle / by Shirley Jackson.
• From Hell / by Alan Moore.
• Good Omens / by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
• Doomsday Book / by Connie Willis.
• The Little Prince / by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Favorite genres: literature, graphic novels, some science fiction, a lot of nonfiction (science, history, and sociology). I'm a book snob--I'm not proud, but I'll admit it.
