apologies to swap partners, and thank you for your patience! I know I have been a very bad swapper lately. I am currently trying to be removed from one of my courses. I really can not manage the content of that course. That is my only excuse. Will not be doing any more swaps for some time while I catch up on my studies. Merry christmas everybody!

I am a mail sorter, and a mature student (of English). I study approximately at 50% and work 50%, my plan being to become a part time linguist but the studies take a long time. Especially when the Internet is so addictive and distracting. Now the land lord has even installed a new kind of cable network which is very fast.

The place where I live is situated on a sort of hill in the outskirts of my town, in an area close to the power station and the gas works and something called Stockholm Free Port Area, there are ferries departing from there to Estonia and also to Finland every day. (Also to Lithuania I think.) A lot of new housing will be built on the Harbour site and the preparations have been going on for a couple of years so many of the ware houses and other old buildings in the harbour have been demolished. presently the area looks quite chaotic. The bus must often change its route. I do not know how the drivers can manage I would never be able to remember which way to go, but, then again I do not have a driving license which is probably for the best!

Folk music country music and many other sorts of music.

Independent movies from the 80s and 90s

*update* I have a Xyron Magic Sticker Maker. I will swap hand made stickers from now on!

Recently, I have started exploring the graphic arts and printmaking, in particular eraser carvings! subsequently, I have been buying a lot of erasers. The shop assistants sometimes joke with me. They say, "You seem to make a lot of mistakes". (Yes, I have heart about the Speedocarve and the various other products being manufactured in the other countries however we do not have anything like that in Sweden. I am thinking that eraser wrok fine.)

My crafts also include journaling, and moleskine exchange on flickr. I think swap bot is fun (and time consuming), It's nice that people are tactful when they give feedback!

Fantasy and crime fiction, and horror stories. I also participated in a theme course about Canadian literature last Spring. My favorite audio book was PG Wodehouse Jeeves & Wooster. I really wish I hadnt deleted it from my computer :(
