Favorites

MUSIC
Blues, indie, old r&b.
Currently in my MP3 player:
Girl in a Coma, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Tegan & Sara, Dixie Chicks, Regina Spektor, Bob Marley, Tool, Van Morrison, Etta James, Metallica, Bare Naked Ladies, Belle & Sebastian, Tom Jones, White Stripes and several audio books.

BOOKS
craft, chick-lit, memoirs and anything about the old south.
I dig audio format mostly, cos I can listen while I work, drive and craft... that and I can download them for free through the library.

TV
I can't imagine living my life by a tv schedule. I know too many that do. I find that sad. However, when I do turn on the TV, its usually to keep me company while I am crafting or getting ready for work. I watch the news, King of the Hill, Scrubbs and Monk.

MOVIES
Napoleon Dynamite ROCKS!
Indie, Drama, Foreign, Gay and Lesbian films and documentaries. I don't do big blockbuster hits or sci-fi or fantasy or horror.

COLORS
It really depends on the medium, but I like browns, pinks, blues, greens and my favorites are deep dark rich reds and black. I love black. oooh, white is good too.

The swaps I join are those that challenge me to think, learn something new or that will give me more experience in a craft I already do. I will not join swaps that require me to buy something for my partner. Well, unless its an etsy related swap or something to do with fabric cos I love Etsy and I love fabric... For the most part, I am most interested in crafty, handmade swaps.

Let's See... What else? I really enjoy swapbot because I've been able meet people from all over the world. I've met some very cool, talented, and creative people here. Some of whom I would love to meet in person. So if you're ever in Houston...

I am so addicted to the internets. If you are like me, friend me and tell me you're on Swapbot. I am on Twitter and Facebook. I have a myspace but I rarely go there. Edited to add: If you're on Facebook and you play Sorority Life - join my house!

Rating
I rate almost as soon as I receive. I appreciate the same in return. If you've sent something and you think I should have received it but I haven't rated yet, go ahead and message me. I don't bite. :P well not usually. Also, I receive swaps at my PO BOX. I usually go once a week. So, take that into consideration. If you requested delivery confirmation and know that it was delivered... shoot me a PM and tell me to get to the post office. :)

Hearts
I give them.
I think I am that girl. The one you love to hate cos I give hearts -- for postcards even!!!
I give hearts for anything that makes me happy. The way I see it is, if the swap put a smile on my face, it deserves a freaking heart. So there. If the swap was late, I can still rate a 5 and a heart, but I will note that it was late. If you're a host and you don't like the way I play this game, ban me. No biggie on my end. I can always copy the swap or swap with someone privately. :P

One more thing
Hosts -- if you notice that my partner hasn't hit sent. Please don't contact my partner on my behalf. Most times I have already been in contact with them.
Don't worry, I do not go looking for angels.I will not hold a host responsible for a flaker. The way I see it, if I'm flaked on... that's the chance I took to play this game.

Extras
Please don't send any extras unless it just screams my name to you.
(here comes a hint)
Teas and Chocolate
Teas
black teas, breakfast teas, green teas and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Earl Grey. mmmmm.... Actually I don't really care for flavored teas but I love earl grey and green tea. hint hint. :P

Chocolate!
Yeah, about that... I am so freaking snooty when it comes to my chocolate... I only like Hershey's with Almonds. haha, got ya. I do love hershey's with almonds but I'm not picky. unless its really cheap dollar store kind of chocolate I won't have a hissy fit.

So, if you must include something as an extra... I like tea and chocolate. But seriously, don't worry about sending any extras.

Love to make Stuffies/Softies?
