Cindy, 23, New York. I'm... not really sure what to say about myself. I'm basically an odd mix of little kid and old lady in one. Also, I'm a massive geek/fangirl. Liberal, feminist. Bookworm, wallflower. Mostly, I'm still sort of undefined: I'm at a transitional point in my life, between college and being properly grown up.

• Matryoshka dolls
• Tea (I'm particularly fond of black and chai teas; not a big fan of minty teas)
• A tea wallet
• Postcards (I keep my postcards in albums that fit standard 4x6 cards, so those work a little better than larger sizes)
• Mugs
• Mermaids
• Learning about cultures
• Art Nouveau (Especially Alphonse Mucha)
• Steampunk
• Recipes
• Ancient World History
• Buttons
• Bottle Caps with Quotes & Facts (Honest Tea are my favorites)
• Cool magazine clippings (I collage ^_^)
• Cool bookmarks, especially the magetic kind (these tend to be tiny and have bits of magnet on both sides, so you can clip them onto the page)
• Things themed Keep Calm and Carry On (& variations
• Audrey Kawasaki

Dune by Frank Herbert; Ecstasia by Francesca Lia Block; The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger; Ursula, Under by Ingrid Hill; The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde; the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca and Pablo Neruda

I always try to get my stuff out on time. If for some reason, I am unable to, I will send a message letting you know. The same goes for swaps I don't receive- I won't rate unless I've tried to contact you and we weren't able to reach some sort of agreement. I would appreciate it if I received the same sort of courtesy in return. If you aren't going to get something out on time, send me a message letting me know. I understand- life happens. If my swap doesn't make it to you, let me know, and we'll try to figure out a solution.
