I have 10 unfinished swaps. Please let me explain. About a year ago I was diagnosed with an illness I will not disclose for personal reasons. It was unexpected and made my life quite stressful as you can imagine. I fell behind and didn't handle that very well. After I got better I planned to fix the swaps but was quite disheartened at that point with swapbot because I had been flaked on almost 10 times myself. I got bitter and left. I understand that this was wrong and not fair to my own partners.

I am now (as of late Sept) trying to get back into the wonderful creative outlet that is this community. I am serious and committed and I will do my best to prove this again and again. I am in the process of sending what I owe out. This is a process and I want to do it right since I made my partners wait so long. I pledge to send out one owe'd swap a week until they are all completed.

I'm 28 but tomorrow I will be 30. I've lived in NYC since I was 5 years old and I love this city. I am the principal bookkeeper of my own firm. I like like logic and facts and solving problems but I have a creative side I like to let out to play. I speak Spanish fluently, I love my family and gadgets are my favorite thing to shop. Actually I'm quite a nerd.
