DUE TO PERSONAL ISSUES I'LL BE TAKING SOME TIME OFF

I always send out my swaps and if I'm a bit late I will message you before the due date and tell you. Please dont unfairly rate me if you don't receive a swap from me. I live in Australia and it can take for ever to deliver. If you unhappy with a swap for whatever reason please message me so we can talk about it.

I would prefer not to receive the following:

Items smelling of smoke/animal

Hi there, I am a 26 year old and have lived in Melbourne for 3.5 years. I moved here to study Geology and Meteorology at university.

I am the oldest of 8 children in my family. I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters.

In December and February 2009 I attended a couple of Dinosaur Digs (February dig is known as Dinosaur Dreaming, located in Inverloch, Victoria, Australia)

If anyone is interested in doing a private swap please message me.

I am open to most music, however, I seem to be really liking electronic ambient music at the moment.

When I was a child I grew up reading Enid Blyton books. They were great, it got me into reading as a younger child. My goal in life is to own every title of her books and have them in a home library.

I am currently reading the Harry Potter series, after my sister let me borrow them to read when I fell in love with the movies.

I think after this I will either start the Eragon series or the Twilight series.

I don't watch these on TV (as I don't have one), I rent them out from the local video store and watch them.
