About Me

I'm a twenty-seven-year-old living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. My favourite things to do are read and play video games--sometimes at the same time depending on what I happen to be waiting for in World of Warcraft (flying is boooring).

I always try to rate, so if you're looking for a rating, please let me know if I missed it somehow. Also, if you haven't received something from me, send me a PM and I'll resend as soon as I can!

Favorite Books & Authors

The Saracen Blade (Frank Yerby), Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert Heinlein), American Gods (Neil Gaiman), Good Omens (Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman), Catch-22 (Joseph Heller), Oryx & Crake (Margaret Atwood), the Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling), Snow Flower & the Secret Fan (Lisa See), the Discworld series (Terry Pratchett), The Kushiel Legacy (Jaqueline Carey), A Thousand Splendid Suns (Khaled Hosseini)

Favorite TV & Movies

  • Television... House M.D., Star Trek: The Next Generation, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit/Criminal Intent, Robot Chicken, Dirty Jobs, NCIS, Mythbusters

  • Movies... The Princess Bride, The Matrix, V for Vendetta, Constantine, The Three Muskateers (yes, the Disney version)

Favorite Video Games

World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Fable, Lost Odyssey, Neverwinter Nights, Viva Pinata, We [heart] Katamari

Favorite Crafts

  • beading...I love beads from all over the world!
  • painting pottery...I need to beef up my brush collection!
  • coloring...especially geometric shapes coloring books
  • crosstitch...even though I'm really bad at it...
  • crochet...see above!

I'm also considering learning how to quilt, so if you have any scraps of fabric laying around, send them, too! :)

Random Things I Like...

  • journals
  • Japanese cherry blossoms
  • Domo-kun
  • Sanrio character: Chococat!
  • sunny days
  • Disney princess: Belle from Beauty and the Beast
  • Sharpie markers
  • Post-It notes
  • colours: deep blues & purples
  • pirates & ninjas
  • angels
  • candles
  • kawaii
  • different coloured pens & pencils
  • black & white photos

Random Things I Don't Like...

  • sardines
  • bookmarks (unless I've signed up for a bookmark swap, obviously...but I usually lose them & use Post-Its instead)
  • Americana
  • horror movies
  • the colour puce
  • people who talk in the theatre

As for Postcards...

I love all kinds of postcards, but my favourites are interesting architecture and sunsets. A cool building with a sunset would be most awesome! Don't worry if you don't have anything like that, though! I just like getting mail that isn't bills. :)

I also love handmade postcards...and, of course, any postcards with pictures from any of my other interests! I prefer they get sent naked so I can see the cool stamps. :)

I never know what to write on postcards, so I apologize in advance if it's lame. To that end, if you're writing to me and don't know what to say, send me one of the following:

  • a favourite quote
  • a book recommedation/your favourite book
  • the answer to this prompt: Do you believe in love at first sight?

Crafty Stuff

There's a lot of swaps I see on here, like dottees and ATCs and inchies and whatnot that I have no idea what they even are let alone if I'd be interested in swapping them. If you do any crafts, I'd always enjoy seeing what you make, especially since I'm not particularly good at any of the crafts I do. :D

What I Can't Get Here...

Like I said above, I live outside Philadelphia, PA. I don't know of anything I can't get around here, so I'll leave it to your discretion until I think of something!

I have no food allergies and I'll try just about anything once, so if you have something local to your area that won't spoil in the mail, send it on over!

Also, I'd like to try Vegemite or Marmite, but have no idea where I'd get it around here, so if you're from a place that sells it, send it over. ;)
