Introduction.

24yr old living on the outskirts of a city that is growing too big for its britches. I share a comfortable apartment with a nerd that I love with all of my heart, a daschund named after the greek god of light, and a fifty-five gallon fishtank full of loaches and pink kissing gourami. Work sees me at a desk of purple and grey in a medical office. Afterwards, I am a student majoring in good ol' business administration. Beyond that, though, and where one will find the good stuff, I am a bookworm, a music game fanatic, hazel-eyed, tamagotchi-loving, hair-metal-rockin', scribbling in one of a hundred notebooks, mega-organized, list-making lady who likes a whole lot of different stuff.

Important!

If you have not received a swap within a reasonable amount of time, or have taken issue with what I've sent, please contact me and I will do whatever I need to do to resolve it for you. I believe in conscientious & friendly swapping.

Crafty Pursuits.

Papercrafts. Making something out of nothing--recycling. Decor. Light sewing, clothing reconstruction. Mailart, ATC making, postcard-making. I would like to learn about dollmaking, woodworking, and jewelrymaking. I'd like to make a dotee doll but they look sort of intimidating, and I've created my first felt stuffie for a recent swap (a fried egg. yum!). Currently I am making things with the ten computer keyboards that I miraculously acquired recently. I'm also searching for a used blender so I can get back to papermaking.

Outside world.

Reading: Animal Dreams, Barbara Kingsolver. Tales of Burning Love, Louise Erdrich. Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned, Walter Mosley. I enjoy medical-environment-based fiction, journal-style novels, and every so often intensely long series of soft, wordy sci-fi. I have been reading constantly this year, and am always open to suggestions. I am on goodreads.com as breaunna, and paperbackswap as breaunna k. Currently I am reading lots about zen and people skills.

Listening: Rush, Judas Priest, Patsy Cline, Dream Theater, Helen Love, Le Tigre. I have a supreme fondness for early-nineties rap, "play what we want" radio randomness, and party channels that play Montell Jordan and "Too Close."

Playing: Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. (finally!)

Oh Yes:

  • owls;
  • daschunds;
  • apples;
  • watches;
  • harvest moon;
  • little twins stars & deery lou;
  • handmade items;
  • old pc games;
  • the office.

No thank you:

  • earrings;
  • coconut scent;
  • please do not send candy or edibles;
  • items overtly religious;
  • disney, winnie-the-pooh, precious moments.

Wishlist

  • anything with owls;
  • personalized address labels;
  • magnets shaped like food;
  • magnets from where you live;
  • good notebooks & journals;
  • interesting, fine-tip pens;
  • bare escentuals makeup;
  • mycokerewards codes;
  • photos/postcards of bonsai;
  • bento accessories (except chopsticks, i have tons).

End.

I am always up for new friends and penpals, for private trades of zines and art and letters and surprises and packages of goodies. If you think we'd click, write me! Written communication is an art form that we should never forget.

Comment: Thank you for keeping me in the loop during your summer of projects! The checklist you sent is inspiring in its own right! And I think it's great that you can now write the sentence, "I am proud to say that every book in my possession I really, really want to read, and am making time to do so." Bravo!

Comment: Thank you for The Shopgirl. I don't usually read this type of book, but I read the first paragraph and found it's worth going on, at least for a while; I've got three others started already but I'll put it in line. I love it when people send their swaps in a timely way, so that's for that too

Thank you so much for the book for YGM. It looks really good, I'm going to have to start reading it soon, I definitely think I'll like it!

It's cool that you come from Coeur d'Alene. I really like it three, especially the lake. This is such a pretty area all around.
