This little section is for anyone who was lucky enough to get me for a swap partner and needs ideas ;)

I like turquoise, teal, brown, hot pink, Asian style things (fabric, decor, housewares, accessories, paper goods, anything!), stationery (especially notecards), chopsticks (I collect them. Both pretty and plain ones are fine by me), Buddha (but NOT the chubby laughing variety), sea creatures (dolphins, manatees, whales, and squid are favourites), puffins, penguins, Sanrio characters (Hello Kitty, Chococat, and Cinnamoroll especially), cute/kawaii Japanese characters, Disney characters, ethnic/earthy things (jewelry, beads, etc.), big and dangly earrings (I refuse to wear small ones), belly dancing (costume-related things = yay), stickers, art/craft supplies, yarn, knitting needles (especially unique ones), little things I can put into my art journal, sushi-related things, bento boxes and accessories.

I DO NOT like edible/food items (well, I like them in general, I just don't like receiving them in swaps), goth/punk style, country style, yellow, tacky knick-knacks that serve no functional purpose or have no aesthetic value, gold jewelry (unless it's that worn out/dull looking bronze-ish gold. Shiny gold is BAD).

Barenaked Ladies, Ben Harper, Björk, Black Eyed Peas, Bob Marley, Enya, Interpol, Iron & Wine, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Kings of Convenience, Morning Musume, No Doubt, Sarah McLachlan, Thievery Corporation, Third Eye Blind, Tristan Prettyman.

Also, I ♥internet radio. I love foreign music, especially Indian/Bollywood and Arabic.

Steel drum tunes make me happy.

Amélie, Chungking Express, Elizabethtown, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Hero, The Life Aquatic, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice, Pulp Fiction, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Science of Sleep, V for Vendetta. I have a soft spot for a few Disney movies too - Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, and Pocahontas.
