About Me

I AM DESPERATE TO GET MY HANDS ON NON-PLUSH ITEMS FROM THE HELLO KITTY X BLUE'S CLUES LINE - IF ANYBODY READS THIS AND CAN GET THESE ITEMS FOR ME JUST NAME WHAT YOU WOULD WANT IN RETURN AND I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE IT HAPPEN !!!! begs


i'm a 28yr old hello kitty fanatic living in adelaide, australia..

i love hello kitty.. seriously, i LOVE hello kitty - any direction you look in any room of my house will feature the little white feline (it can be vomit inducing for most people -_-).. and as far as i'm concerned you can never have too much hello kitty, i'm the type of person who buys doubles of everything to make sure there's a spare for when the first wears out..

^-^

i love other kawaii things too.. love shinkansen, nyan nyan nyanko, sugarbunnies, brown sugar, doraemon, rilakkuma (especially when he's snacking ^-^), anything to do with cats (especially white) hamsters (we can't own them in australia cries) or hippos, strawberries, cupcakes or cherries - oh, and i'm a sucker for images of foods (cartoon or photo) with little kawaii faces..

i adore letter sets and envelopes, love coffee (starbucks is a fave), notebooks, little 1" button badges, ribbons, tote bags and anime..

i'll put a list of no-likey stuph at the end of my profile, but i'm generally a pretty easy person.. even when i get something i don't like i can usually find a good use for it or will know someone who'll love it - and anything made with a smile and sent to me will be loved just cos i LOVE getting mail !!

chortle

color wise, i love pink, brown, green, orange, black and white.. i love textured paper, card and fabrics and really like asian designs..

my fave places are korea and new york city, so anything related to these spots on the world map will be more than welcome..

i love stuph by fiona hewitt and itsuko ayano.. love momiji, especially the joanna zhou line.. i love letter sets, have i mentioned that already ? ^-^ i really really do love them.. i don't know why, i seldom have anything to actually SAY in a letter, but just having them in case i need to say something in writing is a comfort :3

chortle

i'm into pullips, dals, soda (coke and dr pepper delicious), candy (speshally junior mints :9), stars, hearts and playing my DSlite..

if you want to include something for my fiance, psym'n, he loves to try candy and chocolate bars from all over the world and is obsessed with cricket ^-^

Favorite Movies

a dog's breakfast; citizen kane; head; logan's run; you've got mail; wasabi; lemony snicket's; the harry potter series; perfect blue; the road to el dorado; animal crossing; deep blue sea; almost anything with steve martin; everything m. night shyamalan has done except the sixth sense - i've worked in video/dvd outlets most of my adult life so i have very broad taste in films and am always open to recommendations :3

Favorite Television

the monkees; newsradio; seinfeld; black books; stargate atlantis; mystery science theatre 3000; magic knights rayearth; sailor moon; spaced; chance pop session; school rumble; green wing; inspector gadget; red dwarf; gatchaman

Characters I Love

  • HELLO KITTY
  • rilakkuma (when he's snacking)
  • alfonso (animal crossing)
  • SUGARBUNNIES !! (my new fave after kt :3)
  • shinkansen
  • brown sugar
  • tenorikuma
  • sailor moon
  • a-ko (project a-ko)
  • umi (magic knights rayearth)
  • snape (harry potter)
  • miguel (road to el dorado)

Hints On Hates

i don't really like blue or purple on their own, but i don't mind them accompanying other colors..

not into any sports, and i'm not a glam, sophisticated or even very grown up girl so nothing related to ::

  • makeup (never wear)
  • high heels (never wear)
  • skin care (i use soap and water)
  • scented bath products (unless kawaii)
  • scented candles
  • or anything else related to being a 'woman' - i'm a 'girl' right down to the core :3

(i don't even really like hello kitty items that depict her wearing high heels, glamorous dresses or long locks of hair - i suffer from a bit of 'peter pan syndrome' in that way ^-^)

Re :: Swapping

I LOVE LOOSE KAWAII SWAPS - just pm me if you're interested in a private one and we should be able to work something out :3

i always attempt to cater my swap package to my partner's profile, cos if there's one thing better than getting something you like in the mail - it's getting something you LOVE in the mail..

i understand that australia (beautiful as it is) is a real drag to mail to because our quarantine can hold up packages for days - so i know that sometimes i may have to wait longer for swaps to arrive at my door..

I WILL RATE every swap i receive as soon as i can - i aim to get your rating up within 24hrs of getting the swap package in my eager little hands, so if i haven't rated you it means it hasn't arrived yet (see the above statement about australian quarantine)..

i enjoy putting together swap packages - they are always done with that anonymous affection swap partners should feel for one another.. if you receive a package from me that you hate please tell me and i'll try to make it right..

:3

If All Else Fails..

if you've scored me as a partner and are still stuck as to what i'd like to receive, here's a cheat sheet wishlist ::

  • kawaii sticker sheets
  • kawaii sticker sacks
  • kawaii letter sheets
  • kawaii envelopes
  • hello kitty ANYTHING
  • fancy A4 papers (colored / patterned / textured)
  • kawaii deco tapes
  • kawaii fabric
  • ribbons
  • hair accessories (clips / barrettes / baubles)
  • cute strawberry themed items (eg :: fabrics, stationery, stickers, or anything !)
  • cute cartoon hippopotamus themed items (eg :: fabrics, stationery, stickers, or anything !)
  • anything related to the monkees
  • i prefer kawaii items i can use, like ziplock bags, paper lunch sacks, deco tape, small storage items, etc etc..

i should point out that i'm NOT big on plushies.. i do like handmade/crochet plushies, and plush decora items like cell phone charms and hair accessories, but i don't really collect plush toys - not even kawaii ones..

IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING that i'm not a kawaii snob - i don't mind generic characters (not COPIES of characters tho) if the items they're on are well made, and i don't care if it's made in china, america, japan, korea, taiwan, india, australia - whatever - i just love kawaii things regardless of where they're from..

the same applies to hello kitty merchandise - i don't mind if it's not made in japan as long as it's official sanrio branded :3

Thank you for angeling a package to me. I loved it! You sent a mario keychain in it's original packaging. I know I should keep it around, but I'm giving it to my daughter who loves mario (or as she calls him "man")
