Hello everyone, I am 48 years old & live in Fort Smith, AR. I am an avid reader of Sci-Fi fantasy. Some of my favorite authors include: Paul Kearney, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Jim Butcher, George R R Matrin, JK Rowling, Patricia McKillip, John Meaney, Jim C Hines, John Moore (too many to list). I adore my Chihuahua, Brutus. I love to cook, play cards, go to movies & Pogo. I enjoy traveling & trading. My favorite color is green & my favorite number is 8, I am a Libra/Metal Ox and my blood type is A-. Sites I belong to besides SwapBot include: MySpace, TitleTrader, Pogo, LibraryThing and PTCO. I thank Candyswappers for introducing me to here. I am looking forward to many fun trades.
Favorite Movies: The Prisoner Of Zenda, The Sorcerer's Stone, The Sixth Inn Of Happiness, The African Queen and The Shawshank Redemption.
Favorite Places: London ENGLAND, Yosemite CALIFORNIA, Bora Bora TAHITI, NEW ZEALAND.
Favorite Foods: Olives stuffed with garlic, Tippanade, Italian Icees, Chocolate, Shrimp and Crab. Oh and... ICE CREAM!!!
Favorite Music: Almost anything: Love classic Mowtown, Brit Invasion, Speed Metal, Classical, 80's Hair, Lullabyes, Marrillion, Rush, Crowded House, Beatles, Sam Cooke...
I COLLECT: Beatrix Potter, Comic Books,Embroidered Handkerchiefs, Art (Fine Art & Animation Cels). Some everyday items have become collections after years of buying and receiving everyday items: Bookmarks, postcards, matchbooks, pens/pencils... I also have old collections that are quite large but I really don't contribute much to anymore: Comics, coins, Star Trek, Pokemon, Tolkien... I still go to the Star Trek conventions once a year but the only thing I have collected for some time is the actor's autographs. I have over 70 now.
I have a degree in both Art & English, so naturally I enjoy reading, writing & making beautiful porcealin teapots. No kiln near me anymore so my teapot making days are on hiatus. I am really into all forms of mail art though. I love ATCs, inchies, FBs, homemade cards, an postcards (store bought or homemade - the more kitch the better).
Favorite TV Shows are: Project Runway, Iron Chef America, 24, NCIS, Num3ers, Eureka, Criminal Minds, and Castle!!! Favorite Reruns: Star Trek TOS & TNG and M.A.S.H. I hate most all chick flicks! I love action movies best, but will happily watch Noir, Foriegn, Sc--Fi/Fantasy, Comedy & Drama. Favorite "B" movies are: War of the Gargantuas, The Thief of Baghdad (Steve Reeves), Picture Mommy Dead, Jack Frost (Alexander Pushkin's), Mad Monster Party,...
Because I seem to get them all, I will now begin a BAD SWAPPERS LIST/QUESTIONABLE SWAPPERS LIST. It may help you to decided whether you want in a swap or not (if a person who fails to send is in it). This software apparently lets someone rip many people off before they are ever suspended...

She was on my nonrater's list & claimed she never received - giving me a one & then left swap-bot. She was actually sent to 2X and I have proof of the work. (a week later) All her links went missing on her profile page & the one blog link that did work has not been blogged on in over a month. Came back but was angry she was classified as a NON-RATER (which she was/is) and did not change the 1 (and I have sent twice now, so she is a liar) & perjures herself. Incredible, since I only live 5 1/2 hours away. Just for postcards - incredible! 20) Poets/Poetry APC Aces Set (frassiegill).
SWAPS I HOSTED AND HAD TO ANGEL CAUSE THE SENDERS WERE "FLAKES":
** Extremely late but did send after my angeling to their partner.
