I'm a college student who loves to travel, read, and paint.
I really love music and play guitar and sing. I'd love to get back into performing. I'm an amateur photographer - still more interested in using film than in digital photography. I've been playing around with Lomography for a few years now and really enjoying it. I'm also an amateur knitter, taught by my grandmother. Hopefully teaching myself sewing soon.
I love foreign languages and speak German, French, and am just learning Portuguese.
I cook and bake a lot and enjoy trying out new vegan recipes.
My favorite place in the entire world is New York City. Close second is Germany. I live in South Carolina (but I'm a Pennsylvanian) with my yorkie and an insane feline who has no sense of self control. :)

I really like movies that make me think. I'm also a fan of scary movies, but I have a habit of watching them and really freaking myself out. The Strangers pretty much ruined my life forever. :)

Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, Futurama, Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scrubs, Father Ted, House, Flight of the Conchords, Law & Order:SVU, Pete & Pete, The Big Bang Theory, The Mighty Boosh, True Blood, Carnivàle

Colors: Black, Red, Aqua, Green

I like Victorian style things as well as modern and bright colored things. My living room in my house is very modern in red/white/black, and my bedroom furniture is all stuff I found at thrift stores or that people in my building were getting rid of in green/aqua/blue.

I like birds, bunnies, koalas, seahorses, cupcakes, old photographs, vintage buttons and other trinkets. I'm a total nerd for the German language. And I generally love anything that has to do with nature.

I love dandelions - in the white, puffy form, not the yellow flowers.

I collect postcards and pressed pennies, and am always up for a private swap on them. So don't hesitate to ask!

I love tea and drink two cups a day! Black teas are my favorite. :) I try to eat a vegan diet and only use vegan products - don't have any allergies or anything, just a moral preference.

I'm a huge fan of the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 and love all the cheesy old sci-fi movies.

I'd love some custom address labels with the silhouette of the guys from MST3K (you know..where they're sitting in the theater seats) on them.

If anybody has a place to get Pickles the Frog stuff near them, let me know. I love Pickles, and would love some stationary, which I will gladly reimburse you for or trade you something you want that I can get.

I'm always interested in trying new products from Lush, so if you have samples or products you didn't like, I'll gladly take them! :)

I'm really not good at this wishes stuff.... :)

I've been flaked on for the following swaps:
