Katyushka

25 y/o F, married, 0 kidlets. 3 crazy cats instead though!

I work in the medical field and I enjoy it (most days :). I love sciency, nerdy things, literature, and learning about other cultures..I almost minored in anthropology.

I love getting things in the mail, hence swap bot and postcrossing!

I really enjoy cooking and eating amazing food--probably too much! In another life I would be a food critic.

I am a homebody. I would rather stay at home, drink hot chocolate or have a rootbeer float than go out for a night on the town.

I think whoever created etsy is a genius and I hope to be able to be a proud seller of something or other one day.

My favorite websites are: thepioneerwoman.com postsecret.blogspot.com dooce.com homestarrunner.com etsy.com (user name Katyushka)

If you are international, food from your country always gets a heart! Even if it's those whole dried fish snackies from Japan ;)

Please don't send me the following for allergic/personal reasons:

Super gorey/death/gross stuff, like hardcore gothic. I like Edward Gorey, but that's fun goth..see what I mean. Addams Family is fine, Ted Bundy, not so much.

Coffee or any "tea" I drink herbal tea only, but it can't include the ingredient, tea in any form, caff or decaff.

Pearberry scents. I can't handle super strong pear scents, I get a migraine.

Western themed things. I like it, but I just can't use it.

Knitting yarn--not there yet.

Jolee's Stickers

Hardcare music such as: Korn, Marilyn Manson, 50cent, etc. I don't personally like music with the "f" word as the main chorus.
