About Me

I'm a college student in Austin, TX. I'm a Women's Studies major and I work in my school's library. My screen name is an anagram of my full name. I have never been to Anaheim, nor do I engage in blackmail.

I always send my swaps and will let you know if something is going to be late, so please PM before rating me if there's a problem. I am late on some swaps right now because I just finished my final exams. I'm so glad they're done so I can get caught up on my swaps! I'm so sorry to my partners who have had to wait, and I'm hoping to get all my late swaps out within the next week or two.

badge I reuse packaging.

Favorite Crafts

Collage, zines, photography, mail art, altered books, handmade books, journals. I don't knit or crochet but I would love to receive a handmade hat, scarf, socks, or legwarmers.

Wishlist

  • zines
  • polaroid film
  • natural bath products-- I love Burt's Bees, I'd like to try LUSH, and homemade soap would be great too!
  • lip balm, especially natural and/or homemade
  • Dutch-language magazines (I was an exchange student in the Netherlands in high school)
  • journals
  • stationery with The Little Prince on it
  • airmail stationery
  • feminist or vegetarian themed magazines (send me your back issues of BUST!)
  • a matchbox or cigar box shrine
  • a "freak" stuffie or amigurumi-- i.e. siamese twin teddy bears, a two-headed sock monkey, an octopus with a few etra tentacles...
  • region 1 DVDs of any Dutch or Bollywood films

Edibles:

  • vegetarian recipes and cookbooks
  • tea (preferably not loose)-- my favorite is chai, and I also love herbal and fruity flavors
  • chocolate (any kind except white, coconut-filled, or raisin), particularly the kinds listed below
  • Kinder Bueno
  • Aero (aka Bros)
  • Ritter Sport
  • Toblerone
  • Cadbury from the UK (we have Cadbury in the US, but it's not nearly as good)
  • hot chocolate mixes
  • Tim Tams (I've never tried them, but they sound good)
  • unusual flavors of Pocky (I've tried chocolate and strawberry-- I'm particularly curious about toffee, chocolate almond, and striped)

My ephemera wishlist:

  • medical/anatomical diagrams, especially hearts
  • maps, especially vintage maps and maps of large cities
  • pages or images from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in ANY language
  • text in a language other than English
  • sheet music
  • tarot cards
  • Hindu god/goddess images
  • bird images
  • postage etiquettes, i.e. "air mail," "return to sender," especially on stickers or rubber stamps
  • a set of alphabet rubber stamps

General likes

  • The Little Prince (aka Le Petit Price)
  • Frida Kahlo
  • feminism
  • geishas
  • Ukiyo-e/Japanese woodblock prints, especially Utamaro
  • drawings/diagrams of anatomically correct hearts
  • handmade things
  • polaroid and photobooth pictures
  • Hindu mythology/iconography
  • Greek mythology
  • fairy tales
  • travel
  • maps
  • vegetarian cooking
  • dreams
  • The Muppets
  • octopi
  • pirates
  • scents: citrus is my favorite, and I also love spicy scents like ginger and cloves.
  • colors: I like everything but bright pink, but my favorites are deep red (crimson/burgundy), blue, purple, green, and black.

Dislikes

  • meat products
  • anything made of leather or fur
  • perfume
  • bright pink (think Barbie)
  • Anime
  • character kawaii
  • Lord of the Rings/high fantasy
  • cartoon characters
  • conservative politics
  • anything trying to convert me to your religion
  • anything that is prejudiced/racist/homophobic

Don't censor yourself, though-- I don't mind getting swaps with nudity or "bad" language. I'm also fine with getting used/thrift store/garage sale items, as long as they're still usable.

Favorite Movies

Amelie, Casablanca, Stranger Than Fiction, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, I Heart Huckabees, Dummy, Empire Records, Saved!, Benny & Joon, Frida, Lagaan, Plan 9 From Outer Space

I also love foreign films (especially Bollywood) and short films.

My favorite actors are Audrey Tatou, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and Johnny Depp.

Favorite Music

Sondre Lerche, Bishop Allen, Okkervil River, Rilo Kiley, Voxtrot, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens, The Postal Service, Architecture in Helsinki, The Arcade Fire, Final Fantasy, Fiona Apple, Smoosh, The Cliks, Ben Folds, Ben Kweller, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson.

I love covers.

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

Comment: what a disappointment! you initiated this swap and set the may 1 send by date. my side of the swap was sent out very early and you rated me, which i thank you for, but now a month and a half later i still have received nothing from you. contrary to your profile's claim that you always tell people if you're going to be late, i received no such message from you. and contrary to your profile's claim that you always send your swaps, it appears quite a few people haven't received swaps from you in the past few months. perhaps in the future you shouldn't sign up for so many swaps when you don't have the time to carry through with them because it's not fair to everyone who does carry through with their part of the swap.

Comment: This is the only the second time I have ever had to rate a 1, and on a private swap too! You did message me about your finals, but now it is 2 months past the send date. I am so disappointed. I will of course change this rating if I ever do receive

Comment: I am very sorry to have to rate you a "1", but this swap is still marked "unsent" and is five weeks overdue when all that was required was to mail me a t-shirt you already own. I will gladly change this rating upon receipt. I hope everything's OK.

Comment: More than two months past deadline and not sent yet. On April 15, you wrote you'll be a few days late and that you have two more weeks of the semester at school. On May 14th, as an answer to my inquiry, you wrote you have just finished your final exams and will send very soon. I have lost hope I'll ever see anything of this, but will of course change the rating if I ever get it.

Comment: Thanks for the postcard, great work! I like the idea of using coffee and tea for dye.
Response: I love using tea as dye! I don't use coffee because I don't drink it so I never have any on hand, but I love the aged look coffee and tea give to what used to be plain, white paper.

Comment: What an amazing book!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to go to my craftroom and start altering things. :-)
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I looked through it before I sent and it seems very inspirational to me. I think I might have to get a copy for myself as well :)

No Emma, it hasn't arrived yet... :(

But I'm starting to think there's a problem with my PO. I have talked to my postofficer already to see if I things show up, because yours isn't the only package which hasn't arrived.

I'll keep you updated!

Lots of love,
Carolina
