Hello! I am a humble student living in New England (in the USA). I love crafts, and I love making people happy (and surprising them), so swapping is something that comes naturally to me! I am enamored by small things and miniatures. My hobbies/likes are sewing stuffed animals and small things, knitting, dogs, drawing, painting, reading, and the outdoors. My wish list would be anything you have put thought into, and is not tacky. :P

I like all kinds of music - mostly Pop and Folk-y, rarely Rock or Metal. My favorite bands are Regina Spektor, Feist, Mika, Something Corporate...

I love reading. I used to be very much into fantasy/sci-fi like Anne McCaffrey and Orson Scott Card, and still am. Although these days I mostly read informational books on my interests: dogs (nutrition, behavior, training, breeds, etc), crafts (sewing, sculpture, painting, knitting, embroidery), sports (surfing, hiking, bike riding), psychology, etc. I also really like a good graphic novel (Black Hole, Goodbye Chunky Rice...)

I like a lot of different movies - but mostly ones that make you think. Inception, Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Princess Mononoke. I love anime, but not the really mainstream ones that have been too Americanized. I like deep, insightful, mature-themed animes (not hentai!) like Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon, DBZ...

I like most comedy, cooking shows, animal shows, art/design-based shows (Project Runway, Face Off, Extreme Makeover, etc), nature shows

I am in the process of having my sewing machine sent to me from my parents' house, but for now I like to hand-sew small(ish) plushies, key chains, and decorations. I knit a little bit, but have never done anything more complicated than a patterned scarf. I'm really good at THAT, though! I also love painting (watercoloring especially), drawing, sketching, and doodling.
