My Goodreads Profile

About Me

My name is Rachel and I'm an aspiring writer, and accountant by day. I'm a recent transplant to the Bay Area after spending most of my life in Oregon (growing up) and Washington (for college). I love to travel, cook new recipes, write novels, read books but also buy more books than I can read, and I also love to pretend to be knowledgeable about wine. I have a cat and lots of plants and a boyfriend (in no particular order). I'm a Pisces! I also really like whiskey, dachshunds, yoga, and recently...running!

Crafty!

Crafts I sometimes attempt:

  • journaling
  • sewing (bags, quilts, and more recently clothing)
  • mail art / letter writing

Craftwise, I would love to receive:

  • blank journals
  • address labels
  • rubber stamps / ink pads (not childish)
  • mail art supplies
  • markers or pens
  • lettersets
  • notecards
  • stickers
  • ephemera
  • washi tapes

Likes

  • chocolate and candy in general (I love trying different types of candy! I especially like chocolate and sour things, and I fell in love with licorice on a trip to Iceland)
  • fortune cookie fortunes, and odd bits of paper in general
  • ephemera
  • vintage stamps (unused preferred)
  • plants / botanicals
  • cats
  • Haruki Murakami (more about books I love/have read on my goodreads. friend me if you want! I love reading pals)
  • notepads with pretty designs
  • Tea - I mostly drink either Earl Grey or herbal tea, however I'd love to try your favorite kind!
  • the color yellow
  • dogs (I have a senior dachshund mix who lives on my parents farm; he loves the space to roam!)
  • baking and cooking! feel free to share your favorite recipes!
  • Totoro / Studio Ghibli

Postcards

I love all postcards, and recently I'm really loving:

  • castles/ruins
  • lighthouses
  • city views at night
  • the northern lights (aurora borealis)
  • botanicals/nature themes
  • mushrooms/plants
  • outer space/astronomy/stars/planets
  • art (nudity is fine)

Please no sharks or spiders. They really freak me out. Thanks!!

But postcards are just a picture without the notes that go along with them! I'd love to hear about your day, what you love, what you've been thinking about, something about your country/city/state, something that makes you happy, or whatever! If you are looking to receive a postcard back, or for a penpal, let me know because I love exchanging happy mail :)

Dislikes

I love discovering new things through swapping, especially through the creativity of my swap partners and penpals, so this one is difficult! I'm mostly open to receiving anything, however....

Spiders freak me out! I don't like sharks, but I was conflicted to find the recent U.S.A. sharks postage very likable, and I'm not disturbed by drawings of sharks. I think I'm just scared of the movie Jaws after watching it too young at a friend's house, at the beach no less!

I don't trade ATCs or Inchies. I am not a scrapbooker, but I like to journal. Please see the craft section above for more!

I don't like receiving items that smell of cigarette smoke. I don't drink instant coffee, but my boyfriend will drink it at some point -- I do like tea and regular coffee though :)

Please no religious, political or patriotic items.

Hello :) You are one of my partners for the Easy Fun Mail swap and I just wanted to inform you that my username has changed from FragileBystander to @WritingRoach ..I have already sent and wanted to make sure that you would know who to rate :)

sarah04 on Oct 27, 2011:

Thanks for rating me for the yellow mail art swap! I'd love it if you wrote back :) I just saw that you like Massive Attack - here is my really bad claim to some sort of fame... my dads cousins ex-wife (lol!!) did the vocals on Massive Attacks "Teardrop".

I'm glad you liked the postcard. It is one of my favourites too!

The little owl stamp was from a seller on etsy called terbearco. Check it out :) I also have few others from them and I love them all. My favorite is the kitty in the teacup!

aussielisa on Oct 11, 2011:

Letter and photos on the way :)
