PLEASE NOTE: I always will send out my swaps! Please contact me if you haven't received something and I will gladly re-send. I also will rate within the day I receive, so if I haven't rated you, I haven't received! ALSO!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! put your user name and what swap it's for on what you are sending!!!! I do mostly postcard swaps now and I will do my best to figure out where a postcard is from, but sometimes it's just impossible! Thanks!!

My name is Jess. I go to college and have a lot of free time on my hands. I love mail, saint candles, postcards and mix cds.

I have a personal facination with bob dylan, frida kahlo, allen ginsberg, diane arbus and anthropological studies.

Although I am not religious, I have a attachment to Holy cards, saint candles and Italian art. I am a collector of day of the dead items and mexican artifacts.

I also collect what I term "propaganda." Things involving conspiracy theories, religious tracts, etc. etc. I think this stems from my curiosity over things that I personally don't understand. Again, with the anthropology thing...Studying other cultures. Basically, I just love having stuff.

I like a lot of different musicians. My tastes could probably be categorized by folk, indie, and instrumental.

A few of my favorites are: azure ray, bright eyes, beep beep, the faint, tilly and the wall, now its overhead, modest mouse, blood brothers, m ward, third eye blind, belle and sebastian, sigur rios, sorry about dresden, death cab for cutie, rilo kiley, the shins, tullycraft, dufus, nada surf, optagionally yours, the good life, doug martsch, DNTEL, the decemberists, mount eerie, bob dylan, neko case, jesse sykes and the sweet hereafter, and arcade fire.

my life in pink, pretty in pink, harold and maude, the seven year itch, dial m for murder, gone with the wind, bowling for columbine, moulin rouge, ghostbusters, red dragon, harold and kumar go to white castle, anything with tom cruise, the silence of the lambs, sicko

I LOVE movies!! Send me anything movie related and I will love it!!!

ER, desperate housewives, greys anatomy, big love, weeds, csi, ncis, cold case, south park, family guy, house, carnival, brothers and sisters, the office, my name is earl, lost

black and white photography, mixed media, collage, painting, ceramics, sewing, trying to learn to quilt, zines

Most of all collage.

Lately I've been really into collecting postcards. My new goal is to get one from every country. Let me know if you ever want to do a trade!

Here is the list of countries I still need: http://ilovepostcards1.livejournal.com/2008/05/03/

I also love to receive postcards with: art, black and white photography, vintage anything, handmade, circus stuff, anne taitor, movies, music, etc.

My newest project is getting a map card from every state within the US. Right now I only have a few. Wanna trade? Let me know!!!!

I'm really not a "cutsey" type of girl. I don't like Kawaii or anything pink and girly. I also don't scrapbook with creative memories type of things! I celebrate the holidays, but not a huge fan of getting things specific to the holidays because I think it's kind of useless. I won't ever rate poorly if I get something that isn't really "me" unless it's specific to the swap. This is just a little f.y.i. on how to get hearts out of me : )

I collect stamps and first day covers!

I also collect cigar boxes, books, zines and matchbooks.

Let me know if you want to trade!
