About Me

I really love mail and swapping. I love to mail fun packages and try to personalize/customize my mail. Pen pals and long letters make me happy. I make and read zines and "indie" comics. I also like to read novels, magazines and blogs. Visual art is another hobby, especially using pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic and gauche. I also love to sing and record songs but can be shy about it. I love food with a passion. And travel.. I'm also a student, studying architecture/industrial design. Back to swapping! I missed it so much!

Favorite Music

I love 60/70s rock, most electronic music, "world" music (i.e. music that isn't necessarily sung in English or from the USA), piano, soul/funk, home-recorded music... basically, I enjoy most music. I love to trade mix cds to learn of new music, too.

Favorite Books

Novels you can't put down! A good mystery or thriller or sci-fi. Nerdy stuff, philosophical stuff, art, comedy, long epics, trilogies, short stories, graphic novels. Name it. But mostly fiction, although I am not opposed to non-fiction. Sometimes I have a hard time with poetry but I'm willing to give it a try.

Favorite Crafts

I love these items and materials: Art: mail art, zines, ATCs! ( I will do private swaps if you're interested!) and mini art - my fav mediums are gauche, watercolors, pen & ink, collage. Jewelry: Earrings! Also cuffs/bangles/bracelets for the wrist & large/weird pendants for neckalces. Esp. love beaded/stone/glass jewelry. Paper goods:handmade cards, vintage cards/postcards, cute stationary, mini cards. Materials: leather/suede, feathers, embroidery, knitting, shiny stuff (seriously), old stuff (vintage of any kind, i.e. images, ads, postcards, etc).

Likes/Dislikes

I Like: Candy - dark chocolate most, and gummies. Tea/coffee - black teas mostly. Fav Colors: purple and brown and light grey, Animals - foxes, birdies, amphibians, night animals and cats ( I have a big cutie). Natural world/nature - images of trees, the ocean and mountains, wild/untouched landscapes. Travel - oh, anywhere! I LOVE to hear about other people's surroundings and environments or their travels. Architecture/design - since I am studying this I am very interested in new and clever designs.

I Dislike: Hard candy and mints. Fruity teas and mint are yucky to me. I like most all coffee except super dark. Animals I don't like - bugs, like centipedes and earwigs. Animal print stuff, for some reason. Super punk rock type stuff...just doesn't fit my style. I really dislike jerks! Ha ha.

A Few of my Favorite Things

ARROWS! (I collect anything with an arrow design, literally anything.), purple, zines, snails, turtles, canoes, moccasins, autumn, hats, nail polish, stickers, earrings and necklaces, Flake and Crunchie bars (from UK), Socks and legwarmers, envelopes, mini cards, stickers, kawaii, mix cds, geometric patterns, paisley, diagonal stripes, old photos or photos of places/buildings, painted shoes/jackets, screen printing, surprises! ...and so on and so forth.

Allergies

My only allergies are medicinal or seasonal, I don't have food or animal allergies.

Some Things I Care About

The Environment, Women's Rights, Equality/Respect of each other, Change! Children, History, Preservation (natural areas, historic buildings, crops, animals...)

About Swaps

Please send me a message if there has been any problem with a swap I sent (i.e. if it was damaged or never arrived) I will be happy to work something out with you. I always make my swaps by the deadline, but I do tend to send them right at the last minute so don't fret too much - it's coming! Also, I make a point to ALWAYS rate! If you don't get a rating it is either because I never got anything or because for some reason I forgot - please message me if you have ANY concerns. I really hate giving 1s, and I put it off and try to communicate beforehand. I will change my 1 ratings if I ever get the things I was flaked on, though.

Comment: I was absolutely blown away by this package!! It was so perfect for me, and I really appreciate the effort you went to to read my profile and send things i love =D The photobooth poster is amazing!!!! I love it to pieces and there is no way i will be cutting it up to make envelopes lol, I'm sticking it up on my wall. Ditto with the 2 magazine pages, I love them and will be putting them on my wall. The colouring book is excellent, I'm excited to regress back to childhood and colour them all in! Everything else was also fabulous, I wish i could give you more than one heart!

Comment: JUST WHAT I WAS GOING FOR! 10 out of 10! I totally agree with your complaint, and I think you and some of the other tenants should go together against him. Charge him with harassment or disturbing the peace. Anyways, thank you!
Response: I am so glad it was just right! I know, we really need to get this guy but we're all scared to be evicted! Thanks for the heart and the super fun swap.
