Hello!
Am just your old average bored now unemployed who secretly hopes aliens will land and tell me I am the long lost queen of their galaxy....
I'm just an overall lover of snail mail!
In my absolutely boring and mundane life in an office, a surprise in my letter box is all i need to sustain a level of excitement in my life. You can find me in postcrossing, sendsomething.net, postcardx... :D
First and foremost, although I love to eat, I would like to request that my swap mates DO NOT send anything edible my way ^^, even tea or anything powdered ^^ the Post has suddenly become very strict with edible goods ^_^ I just end up with a package that is OPENED and RUMMAGED through by customs :(
NOW!! I LOVE to swap & collect:
COLLECTING POSTCARDS, primarily I LOVE historical places such as palaces, ancient ruins, cathedrals and UNESCO places.... but I also appreciate receiving beautiful artistic postcards... and when I say art, it could be from a poster of a vintage/classical movie, black & white or lomography photographs, quirky, burlesque, circus... BUT NO FREE or AD CARDS please :D
Lately I have had the luck of receiving postcards of my favorite classic movie stars! :D I'm still hoping to receive Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart, Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn.. and so on ^_^ would also love to receive postcards of old 1930's 40's movie posters :D or unique B&W cards of famous pictures.
COLLECTING CITY MAGNETS & SOUVENIRS I'm a big fan of old beautiful cities like the Czech Republic, Venice, Warsaw, Rome and such! And these are a couple of the cities, I failed to get magnets from :D ...
I COLLECT STARBUCKS CITY MUGS... you know those Starbucks mugs that have the city emblazoned around it?
I just love curiosities as well, conversation pieces like anything with historical backgrounds.... no matter how small they are! I am always looking for unique QUEEN of HEARTS playing cards.... Shakespeare related quirkyness...
I am a BIG PHOTOGRAPHY fan... and would love to receive random expressive art photograhy and/or lomography... polaroids... B&W... ooohhh just dont forget to sign on the back :D
I also love little trinkets that I can hang on my cellphone ^_^... unique bookmarks....
My tastes have taken me usually to Rockin' Roll and Jazz. Love bands like U2, Nickelback, Shinedown, Oasis, Foo Fighters... but then I am also a very very very big fan of Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Edith Piaf, Andrea Bocelli, Ennio Morricone, Cecilla Bertolli...
Aw God, I am a HUGE movie buff/addict. It's a big pasttime of mine to spend my Saturdays in the cinema and buying Old classic films in amazon.
Favorite flicks are Casablanca, An Affair to Remember, A Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Hitchcock masterpieces like Verigo & Rear Window, Sunset Blvd, Singing in the Rain, Maltese Falcon...
But recent loves include Fight Club, Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, American History X (love Ed Norton), Crash, Little Ms Sunshine and all such wonderful movies :D
Hmmm... light reading has recently taken over my bookshelves. Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Series, Harry Potter (Gah :D), Pride and Prejudice
And several Marketing books since I am a Marketer :D
desperate housewives, House, Ugly Betty, American Idol, Chuck, True Blood :D

Hello, I'm wondering if you received my card for the Not a Tourist Postcard swap? I sent it on 2/19. You already received & rated my Bette Davis card, which was sent on 2/26 for the Lucky 13 Postcard swap, so the other card should have reached you by now. Let me know. Thanks, Connie
Hello! Your "Self Portrait" ATC was sent off last week. You can see it here in my blog if you like. Please let me know when you receive it. ~Tonya
