I am a dreamer, a giver. I am creative and kind. I am so many things everyday depending on mood and circumstance. I am free and happy! I am a mother, lover, poet and friend. I believe in respecting others, being open and finding a common ground. I am a pagan, a follower of the Old Ways, I walk my own path. Most of all I am true to myself and a loyal friend. I like to have fun hanging out at the apartment and playing on one of my gaming consoles, watching movies and cooking a delicious dinner. I also like to go out and take walks in the neighborhood park, going out to dinner, concerts or plays. I like to read fiction and non-fiction books, write poetry, and learn about exotic places to someday spend a holiday. I am wacky and have a very dry sense of humour. I like to make people laugh and I can laugh at myself. Also, I like beautiful things, warm earth tones for colours and unique items to decorate my home. I love snowy evenings and rainy afternoons wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa with a good cup of tea. I adore real letters written by hand and sealed with wax, what ever happened to that? Love letters are even better! So, there I am, a person with a wide range of interests and tastes, because I want to experience everything life has to offer. So, I am very excited to see what new things, people and ideas I can learn of and experience through these swaps!

I have met many wonderful people on here and thank you to all of you who make this a great place! I had to ask for my first angel in December regarding the Bouncing Baby Gift Swap that Hammm hosted and was my partner for. I must say THANK YOU to Sunnie who is coming through for me on this swap. She is being an Angel for my baby girl and I cannot thank her enough for being so kind and thoughtful!

Now with all that said here are some stats about me and my own.

Myself: Sherie Lynne Reamy, I am 34 years old, I have 5 tattoos, one I got while visiting San Francisco in '97 at a great place Anubis Warpis, it's a Celtic tribal knot design and it's my fave on my top, right arm. Ears are pierced, eyebrow was at one time would like to get it done again. I am a History major in college, with an emphasis on medieval Europe, so I love anything to do with that period. My greatest wish is to travel to the UK someday and spend some real time there.

My Fiancee: Christopher (who is Knightfall on here) is a real goth guy, gamer, comic collector, and Steelers fan and yet still loves stuffed animals. He's a rare one ladies, his favorite musical is Fiddler on the Roof and he watches romantic comedies with me, yet loves old Bruce Lee movies. No tats yet but he wants them, best father in the world, takes care of his girls.

My Daughter born 7/31/08: Thea Damiana is an angel in pink. I never liked pink before her but now it's not so bad! Although pink with a cute little skull and crossbones on it is even better! I am also trying to get the "Fancy Nancy" books to start reading to her, I think they are adorable! She received "Tales of Beedle the Bard" for Christmas and we read her first bedtime story to her on Boxing Day! The nursery is in pale pinks, celery greens and cream colours. My little angelbabyprincess is everything, and right now I am blessed to be able to stay home with her.

My Son born 12/24/96: Benjamin Owen is a great kid, loves his baby sister and helps mommy out a lot. He's a gamer like me loves anything to do with Mario Bros., also likes Spiderman, Batman, Hulk, any Marvel comics really, he even draws and writes his own comics.

We live in Wichita, KS USA. I have lived other places as well in the US, but loved Denver the best and hope to move back there after I finish my degree.

Well, that's about it for now, I hope this gives you a little insight to me and my family. I wish all of you blessings and lots of cool things and new friends. I look forward to making new friends myself and will always give my best in any swap I am in.

~Thank you and Goddess Bless~

Wow! What don't I like?! Oh yeah, American Bluegrass and Polkas, but besides that...What don't I like?! Check out my MySpace profile for a better idea. I have a seasonal playlist right now, obviously it is my Christmas/Yule list, a Party list, for arbitrary and senselessly fun music with a good beat. And then there is my Main list which starts playing automatically, these are my mainstays, my ususal songs and artists I listen to most. I couldn't put every artist and genre up on myspace so I would like to add that I do love opera and classical as well, especially Chopin's Nocturnes. I am very eclectic in my music and as long as it is good music (good I know being subjective) I am interested in hearing it. But here is a brief list of artists I like: * Nightwish * Disturbed * Loreena McKennitt * Sarah MacLachlan * INXS (old) * Robbie Williams * Seether * Goldfrapp * Lush * Dead Can Dance * This Mortal Coil * Massive Attack * Kate Bush * Duffy * Katy Perry * Metisse * and Nickelback.

Like I said please check out MySpace for more insight and inspiration for the music I enjoy. I love music, music weaves through every important moment and aspect of my life, I could document my life by songs alone. Music is my expression when my own fail me.

(Sorry about my profile as of late, MySpace recently started banning all of the Playlist.com players and it seems the videos from DailyMotion as well, as a result I have to redo my entire page with their approved playlists. This task will take some time so please bear with me).

Mister B. Gone by Clive Barker is astonishing! Thank you to my sister for putting it in my path. Let's see other books I like include Beowulf, Les Fluers du Mal by Baudelaire, Wicked and Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire, Smoke and Mirrors, Good Omens, and Stardust by Neil Gaiman, The Crimson Petal and the White, Les Miserables, A Separate Peace, Ethan Frome, The Little Tragedies (I love Puskin and classic Russian writers in general), Harry Potter series (my gulity pleasure) I also enjoy Rilke, Henry James. Also, when I was a sophomore in high school A Separate Peace by John Knowles changed my life. I like non-fiction history books concerning medieval history or theology and medieval poetry, tales or stories are also great! I love the Authurian legends. I enjoy Yeats, Auden, and Poe as well.

I would also like to mention that I am a RPGer I guess you would say. I love the old World of Darkness books and have about 2/3 of the entire collection. I also do some of the new lines although they totally ruined Werewolf and Vampire for me. However on the other side of that I love Promethean, Changeling the Lost and Hunter the Vigil, weird, huh? I also game a bit of Shadowrun, Ravenloft and others.

I also read graphic novels the one I am currently fanatical for is Soul Stealer by Michael Easton/Christopher Shy (artist). (If anyone can find a new copy of this I would be willing to trade value for value for something they wanted as well). I also like some Manga, especially Vampire Hunter D, beautiful books really!

DWTS, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy, CSI:NY, and Life on Mars. CBS should really bring back Moonlight, even though they never will just like Fox totally cancelled Firefly and never brought it back even though fan support was overwhelming. Oh, and if I had cable I would love True Blood I know it, I just have to wait until it comes out on DVD is all (pouts). Also, I like British TV like Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, The Young Ones and Monty Python.

Where to begin! Let's just say my taste in Movies are as varied as my music. The only kind of movies I can't stand are really stupid, gross out, spoof, b-rated flicks. Yes, this goes for "Grandma's Boy," "Meet the Spartans" and ones like that. I'm sorry that type of humour is annoying and crass and lacks any intelligence whatsoever, there are some exceptions to this but it follows no rhyme or reason. Otherwise I love martial art films, action, suspense, drama, old classic black and white films, comedy, just about anything, and I also love foreign movies. I am trying to find one now titled "Lieksa!" it's from Finland, came out last year released through Buena Vista International, but not here it seems, would absolutely die from happiness if anyone can find me a copy that would work for my player. For a more detailed list please check my MySpace page under Movies. But, I will give a shout out for "The Boondock Saints," love that movie. Also, I have to list "Sin City," "Hero," and "Now Voyager" and The Red Curtain trilogy among my faves. I will say "Secretary" opened my eyes in regards to my life.

Some movies I do not have as of December 2008 are: "Sin City," "The Boondock Saints," "Hero," "Revolver" (2006), "Vampire Hunter D" (the original movie and Bloodlust), "Under the Tuscan Sun," "Shall We Dance?" (I like both the Japanese and American versions), "300," "Casablanca," "Amelie," and "Meet Me in St. Louis".

These are just some of the movies I haven't had the chance to get yet just in case I am ever in a movie or wish swap. I prefer director's cuts most of the time and prefer widescreen over full screen. Thanks, I hope this helps and will update frequently.

I am not a very crafty person myself, but I do enjoy some. I am more gothic, earthy, and old world in my own decorating tastes, very bisjou and bohemian, mostly due to budget, but it makes me creative and appreciative for what I do have! So as far a crafts go, I like wreaths for the Yule season, handmade brooms, dolls and trinkets. I will say this as well, my favorite piece of artwork is "The Lady of Shalott" by Waterhouse, I love his work. I have an art print of this painting framed and hanging in my hallway, she has been with me for about 13 years now, I could never give her up.

• and Kevin Costner (the man can't even fake an accent!)

I saw that some other swappers had this info on their profile and it seemed like a good idea just case this information is ever useful for a swap.

Sizes for myself: Shirt: Big! I like comfy shirts maybe 2XL* Shoe: 9 * Ring: 9-10* (I like to wear rings on my index finger and thumb a lot). Also, if anyone should ever send me a necklace either homemade or bought, please keep in mind that the 18 inch chains annoy me, I would prefer a 22 inch chain or cord or longer, thank you!

Sizes for Chris: Shirt: 2XL* Shoe: 11 * Ring: 10-11* (depending on finger).

Sizes for Benjamin: Shirt: XS-S* (in mens) other than that he's kind of hard to shop for in pants, we always have to try them on as he has long legs and a slim waist. As for shoes he grows way too fast to tell, last time I checked about a size 4 in mens, it seems he's in them one week and out the other, so shirts would be the only safe article of clothing to send at present.

Sizes for Thea: Well, seeing as of today 12-31-08 she is 5 months old and wearing 6-9 month clothes and filling them out (especially the sleepers) and even some 12 month in pants and some shirts, I would say always send a bit big. Now please understand she does not fill them out width wise so much, but she is a long-legged, tall baby. Her dad is 6'4" and I am 5'8" and I think she may be a tall girl. Also, she is pobably about 13 lbs now. So I would say just go by that and send at least two sizes up for her age whenever you send anything, now or for future reference.

Finally, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I know it may be lengthy, but I hope it helps as to what to send, what I like, etc. I just want others to get a feel for who I am in general and if you would like to get to know me more or just become pen pals, let me know. I am always open to meeting new people and making new friends. Have a beautiful day!

~Goddess bless and keep you~
