About Me

Note: I am now enrolled full-time in college (yes, it's back to school for me, sadly), so I won't be on swap-bot as much, BUT if you are interested in setting up a private swap or whatever, I'll most likely be more than happy to do so, provided that you allow a little more extra time for me to get things together.


I'm 22, although I still feel like I should be 17 or 18, and I look like a 13-year-old.

I don't know what to do with my life, except that I have one goal, and that is to be happy.

I'm an only child, and can be an extreme introvert at times. I like my alone-time, and spend a lot of time shopping and driving alone. Maybe it's because I'm an only child?
I do have friends, of course.

I've stayed in my house for a period of half a year without going out and seeing anyone (and I would gladly do it again, if I was able to! haha) So it's been through the internet, and through swaps, that I've maintained some sort of contact with humans.

I'm a mix CD fanatic, and love making mixes to pass along to whoever is willing to receive. Plus, I really enjoy listening to mixes that people took the time to make for me.

I'm a vegetarian (been one for 3 years now) trying to be a vegan, but cheese is hard to give up!

I adore cats, although I don't have any of my own, unfortunately, but I have a small obsession with them.

I can often be found running after stray cats, and trying to pet them.

No, I won't make an alphabetical list here, since this'll be short :]

anime

melon flavored/scented things
sports (waiting for the hype over the Olympics to end was hell. haha)
anything satanic (odd considering how I love post-punk and gothic music, but I filter what I listen to)
earrings or body jewelry (I don't dislike them.. I just don't have any more piercings since I took them all out a year ago)

Current Favorite Music

Constantly changing (how often do you restock up on toilet paper? quite often, in this household)

I'd rather not list out artists since I love so many, so check out my last.fm instead for an idea (although not all the music I listen to gets recorded up there)

Genres?
post-punk
gothic rock (mostly from the 80's)
darkwave
funk
industrial
trip-hop
classic rock
synthpunk
classical
progressive metal
electronica
new wave
synthpop
experimental
oldies
bluegrass
ambient
noise
glitch
the avant-garde
the blues
big band...
I'm open to almost anything EXCEPT for modern rnb, modern mainstream country, modern mainstream pop, modern mainstream rock, j-pop/j-rock and emo/screamo. ick.

Favorite Movies

the surreal and the hilarious (intentional or unintentional)

Swaps

I always send out my swaps. If I will be late, I will send you a message to let you know.
If you receive my end, and there are any problems at all, please send me a message so we can work things out. I'd be more than happy to do so :]

It's unfortunate that I have to put this up, but...

underwatermusic (Earth, Fire, Water and Air mix CD swap: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/15215)

Comment: For some reason the option to give you a heart does not appear, but you DESERVE ONE! Thanks for the mixes, they are great - lots of stuff I've never heard before, plus old favorites like Fad Gadget - and the covers are delightful. Especially the scary kitty and her meal of snail. I feel bad I didn't make fancy-tastic covers for yours now, so I'll send another something to make up for it. Thanks for the edible extras and magazine too!
