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 21, 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 2 years now) trying to be a vegan.

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
gluten/wheat-- I'm (unfortunately) allergic
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)

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

Currently, I adore:
Modern Eon
DJ Krush
Tones on Tail
Tuxedomoon
Malaria!
Dali's Car
The Bubonic Plague
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
King Crimson
Opeth
Pink Turns Blue
Mohammed Rafi

and a whole bunch more that have escaped my mind at the moment.
Am very much into post-punk right now. the ridiculously cold and dark and dreamy post-punk. yum.

check out my last.fm if you need help (if we're swapping mixes)

the surreal and the hilarious (intentional or unintentional)

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 :]
