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!

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?

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

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. ;)
