About Me

I live in a small town in sweden with my dog Ludwig. I work at a home for old people who can no longer take care of them selves and I love it. When given the time I like to write letters, read and watch far to much film. And I take my coffee strong with a dash of milk.

What else? I don't drink alcohol, smoke or do drugs so please try and not send things that would promote that. I'm also sensitive to strong scents they tend to give me migraines wich blinds me for hours. Not fun!

I'm not religious but don't mind if you are. I'm allways open to learn more about different religions but don't want to be preached to.

I try to buy things Fairtrade and be as eco friendly as possible. That means I reuse all my packaging so don't be alarmed if the outside looks a bit messy. Remember it's what's inside that counts!

I allways send out my swaps and if you are expecting a swap or a tag from me and haven't gotten it, pm me so we can work it out.

I never rate 1 or 3 without first sending a pm and I hope you will do the same!

Favorite Books

I read faster than anyone I know so I have gone threw quite alot of books in my day. My absolute favourite book is Jane Eyre by charlotte Bronte. I collect films and tv made after this book.

I have been obsessed with the Twilight series lately and have read it twice in english and once in swedish 8) The swedish version is cut abit short thou. Another favourite is Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. And when I'm in the mood for romance I read books by Jude Deveraux. And I'm never with out Michael Madsens poetry books.

Favorite Movies

The Shawshank Redemption, Ever After, Reservoir Dogs, The Secret Life Of Words, Pale Rider, Twilight, Little Miss Sunshine and all Michael Madsen movies. Even the really bad ones.

Favorite Television

Current and cancelled: My so called life, Freeks and Geeks, Vengeance Unlimited, Bones, Big Love, McLeods Daughters, Emmerdale, Due South, True Blood and my guilty pleasure Supernatural.

Favorite Crafts

When I first joined Swap-Bot I wasn't very crafty and I was convinced that I had absolutely no talent. But than I discovered how much fun ATCs were and how cute Dotee's were and how fun it is to create something. I am currently trying to learn how to make cool stuff out of polymer clay.

Ludwig

My sweet and very goofy dog. He likes broccoli, chicken, pigs ears, our mailman, stuffed animals,tennisballs and lipbalms. He finds mine and eats them. So please don`t send me any. he dislikes Cats, killerbirds, taking baths and the golden retriver three doors down. He takes his milk with a dash of coffee.

Edibles

My favourite groups are All About Chocolate and Edibles Swappers International. I'm not afraid to try new edibles and I am allways willing to do private swaps in that area. I'm allways looking for any type of candy/chocolate with peanutbutter.

Wishlist

I adore The Actor Michael Madsen so anything with him will make my day!

dvds I'm looking for:

A House In The Hills with Michael Madsen

The Sender with Michael Madsen

Hoboken Hallow with Michael Madsen

Vampires Anonymous with Michael Madsen

Babycakes with Ricki Lake

Likes

Dogs, Michael Madsen, Films, my friends, Owls, unicorns, Candy, Chocolate, Pinbackbuttons, My Job, Afternoonnaps, Coffee, Notecards, writing, Swap-Bot, Parker Posey, Orchids, Reading, Chocolate, Reusable Grocery Bags, Gus Hansen, Journals, Burt Reynolds, Handbags, Dotee's, Petrolblue, Starbucks, Good Deeds, Roy Lichtenstein, Purple, vampires, Handmade Items, coinpurses, Long Letters, Australia, Bust Magazine and more chocolate

Dislikes

Drugs, Ticks, Disney and Psoriasis. The reason for disliking Psoriasis is due to the simple fact that I suffer from it myself.

Yay, your re-send for the chocolate tag arrived! Thank you for both the Kex and Milk Chocolate, I'll be trying them out real soon! :o)

GeorgeBee on Jul 9, 2009:

Thank you so much for the postcards! Hopefully they'll win me something!

I enter all sorts of competitions, mainly online and through the post, I haven't won much yet, about 10 books, a T-Shirt for my other half, some footballs, cricket balls and rugby balls, a plushie and a toy which I've put aside for my cousins birthday.

I'm rubbish with the caption competitions and they 'I think I should win because....' type ones - I never know what to write!!

Anyway,

Thank you for thinking of me!
