Black and red is my favorite color combo. Or just black :) Other favorites include metallic silver stuff (OOOO SHINY!), greens, brown/tan/earth tone combinations, and every shade of gray.

I'm a very various type of person. I'm into a lot of different things, my interests and favorites should give you a basic idea. I am new so I will add more fun info later, but I hope I've included the basics you may need to know for swapping with me.

Some things that might be helpful to know but I'm not sure why: I am an extremely liberal person, a smoker and drinker, hard to shock, and love dark, taboo, or inappropriate subject material. If it involves sex, drugs, alcohol, gore, death, sarcasm, subculture, toilet humor, blasphemy, etc., I will LOVE it and would totally give you TWO hearts for sending me something like that if I could.

I spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet, reading, and doing research about topics in cognitive science, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, linguistics, math education, social engineering, and basically any topic about how people think, behave, and interact through human history. Throw in lots of Star Trek and speculation about the future too. (I'm a big nerd.) I love cats, have an elderly fat orange cat, and anything I send you cannot be guaranteed to be free of cat hair. Not into babies/kid stuff, overly girly/cute stuff, or religious/inspirational things at all.

I love: salty snacks, nuts, chocolate, novelty candy, cheese, sushi, italian food, indian food, booze!

I hate: eggs and red meat. hopefully nobody sends eggs and red meat through the mail, that's gross.
