On a swapping hiatus due to being flaked on a bunch, getting crap, and people not appreciating what I send them. Not sure if I'll be back or not. I'm getting pretty fed up.

I love being outdoors & anything to do with nature. I feel trapped if I stay indoors too long. I don't like flowers, but I love ferns, mosses, greenery, and trees. I like true crime, sushi, cosmology/astronomy, art & crafting, couponing, scavenging, and thrifting. I'm extremely frugal, and the thought of wasting money makes me die a little inside. I frequent the clearance racks/bins scoring awesome deals.

I enjoy the company of animals, I have a 4.5 pound chihuahua named Crunchy who is my furry child. He's extremely spoiled, but he continues to get away with it. Everyone thinks he's a puppy since he's so tiny. I also have 5 kitties, a snake, and a few rodents!

Along with crafting, I also bake a lot of goodies (mostly vegan), meditate, read, and regularly go on strolls through the forest. I like making campfires and watching sunsets.

Books- I adore non-fiction books, especially ones about science (the universe/cosmos would be my favorite category), history (ancient), and occult topics. Fiction-wise, I love horror novels. I also collect textbooks, and love coffee table type books.

Music- I love a lot of 80's and 90's music. I'm into new wave, postpunk, darkwave, and electronic. Some of my favorite bands are: The Faint, Depeche Mode, Abney Park, Ashbury Heights, Deine Lakaien, Covenant, VNV Nation, Aphex Twin, Apoptygma Berzerk, and Placebo.

Movies- I enjoy most horror films (especially zombie ones), documentaries, Indie flicks, and the occasional comedy. Some of my favorite movies are: Battle Royale, Dead Alive, Return of the Living Dead Series, The first Saw, Zombi, Requiem For A Dream, and Zombieland.

TV- I prefer tv shows over movies simply because I have a short attention span. I love cartoons like South Park, American Dad, Squidbillies, Superjail!, and Futurama. Though I also like non-cartoon shows as well, like Arrested Development, Whitest Kids You Know, My Name is Earl, and lately I've been watching tons of Lockup and Prison shows.

• Please do not cover up/write over my name and claim something I made as your own. That's not cool.
• If you receive a swap from me and feel a rating of less than 5 is in order, PLEASE contact me first so I can fix whatever it is.
• I enjoy private swaps, so if you'd like to do one message me!
