Hello there! I'm a 39 year old woman living in North Carolina. I've been a vegetarian for about 2 years now & am always looking for yummy vegetarian recipes. I'm into New Age, Pagan & occult things, music, drinking hot teas & watching Doctor Who.

Please don't send me anything Christian.

Gods/goddesses (especially Odin/Norse & Inanna/Sumerian), postcards of trees, postcards of old book covers (the weirder the better), old keys (especially with 3-ring bow/clover design), tarot cards (even loose cards would be great), mix/themed cds, bookmarks (store-bought or really nice hand-made ones), runes, teas that are sealed in bags & amulets/talismans/charms (from a store or hand-made).

I also would love Pagan/occult/New Age things (especially modern books printed within the last 10 years or so).

And I really like to be introduced to new books... Especially adult & YA sci-fi/fantasy.

Read, watch movies that make me think, drink hot tea, listen to music, munch on good quality chocolate, visit flea markets & yard sales & take photographs.

I really love movies that make me think, keeps me guessing and pulls me into the story & makes me care about what happens to the characters.

I enjoy nearly every kind of music and love swapping mix CDs! I prefer to send & receive 'themed' CDs like "Drinking Herbal Tea", "Reliving The 1980s", "Music To Scream Along With", etc...

Favorites in no particular order - Modern folk, Indian (from India, not so much Bollywood though), goth, industrial, dark electronica, futurepop, indie, rock/pop from the 1960-current, current hard rock/alternative, hair metal from the 80s, pagan, ambient, space, trip hop, trance, spoken word, anything with a sitar, old reverb ... really, the list just goes on and on. Oh & I especially enjoy songs sung by female artists!

Music DISLIKES - New/modern country (country-rock from the 70s/80s is okay though), really hard/angry/violent rap, music for children & anything Christian.

I love reading!

Fiction I especially like - adult & YA sci-fi/fantasy, psychological thrillers & weird off-beat paranormal novels (Neil Gaiman, Simon R. Green, Kim Harrison). I also enjoy - contemporary fantasy/mythology & supernatural fiction.

Post apocalyptic/dystopian novels are somewhat of an obsession of mine (like "The Road" - Cormac McCarthy, "Hunger Games" series, "The Pesthouse" - Jim Crace", "Oryx And Crake" - Margaret Atwood, "Idlewild" - Nick Sagan, etc).

Non-fiction I like - interesting memoirs/biographies of people with dysfunctional/strange lives, books about astral travel/OBEs (out of body experiences), reincarnation, the goddess Inanna (Sumerian) & god Odin (Norse), the Akashic Records, anything dealing with the occult and/or magic & information about runes.

I DO NOT like - any kind of romance, westerns, Christian & books for children (YA is written for young adults, not children).

I like trying new teas & enjoy swapping tea bags. I only like individually wrapped & factory sealed tea bags, no loose teas please.

Teas I like - green (especially toasted), black, rooibos/red, Darjeeling.

Flavors I like - Bergamot (my favorite), cinnamon, ginger, clove, lemon, orange, tangerine, spiced & herbal.

Brands I like - Tazo, Stash, Nordqvist (Finnish), Twinings & Choice Organic. I also like obscure American brands & various foreign brands.

I do NOT like these flavors - peach, any kind of berry, mint, vanilla, chocolate, licorice & cherry.

I love postcards. I've been collecting them for years. I have so many of the typical "tourist" ones I'm NOT collecting them any longer. But I would LOVE postcards of - nature scenes, beautiful landscapes, anything with snow or ice, any kinds of trees (especially old trees), any pagan/occult/new age ones, any kinds of animals in their natural habitat (no zoo ones or silly ones with words), pretty art reprints & I love the 'book cover reprints', especially of the older books with strange & interesting pictures on their cover. I also do NOT collect handmade postcards. They tend to get damaged in the Post, which is sad and I hate to see someone's work get destroyed like that.

I like the perforated ones from books just the same as the ones that are loose. And it doesn't matter to me if they are unwritten on in an envelope or written & stamped.
