I guess this means I enjoy alternative/folk music? I've also been known to listen to classical and opera, although for the life of me I wouldn't be able to tell you what, exactly.

Anything written by Hunter S. Thompson, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Bell Jar, Water for Elephants.

Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Carnivale, Futurama, Bobs Burgers

I'm a little skeptical to put much here. I am of the opinion that the entire basis of swaps is mystery and the idea that you never know what you're going to get. If I talk about myself here, what am I going to tell in a letter? Wont this just spoil the surprise?

I really love the work of Ray Johnson. And I equally love waiting for things to arrive in my mailbox. I prefer hand made things (postcards, etc) no matter how bad someone may think they are at drawing/painting/writing.

There really isn't anything that I wouldn't mind receiving, BUT: I like cats. Stationary, interesting paper and art supplies. I really enjoy postcards, especially interesting or handmade ones. Cheap unique doo-dads. Hand written notes, magazine clippings and collage work. Instant photographs. Tea. Most of all I like being surprised.

(I only have one objection: bath and body products. Please, don't send me anything bath and body, makeup, perfumed, etc.)
