There's some real good information here...

I have hayfever and I'm allergic to cats and smoke. If you smoke/have a cat[s], I'd appreciate it if you could try to keep any items that you're sending away from them as much as possible. Thank you! I also cannot use anything heavily scented on my body [like Bath & Body Works], because my skin will break out. I'm such a downer. Haha!

I Pledge to Rate Fairly.

I'll always send things out, so if you haven't received anything after a while, please PM me [if I don't PM you first] to work something out.

Also, I'll always rate my partners and would appreciate it if you rated me in return. If I haven't rated you [meaning I probably forgot] please send me a PM! I won't be offended.

I love art, design, music, fashion and pop culture. I believe in God, but am having a hard time right now when it comes to my faith. I'm 20 years old. I'm a girl. I live in Michigan. I don't have a boyfriend. I'm 5'10". I'm not going to school right now - just working and living at home with my Dad and Step-Mom.
I have depression and general anxiety. I think I may have a mild form of ADD and OCD as well. I'm pretty sarcastic and tend to be cynical/negative. It's something I'm working on...

A taste of what I enjoy.

• I like Pop Art - Andy Warhol especially. I also like the 60's.
• I like all colors besides neon ones. But a little neon here and there is okay. I am partial to green. Like Granny Smith Apple or a yellow-green. When it comes to clothing and jewelry, warm colors are what looks best on me, and I like gold jewelry. Fashion is something I enjoy.
• Lately, I've been doing a lot of paper crafts. I've been trying to keep a visual journal and work on some collage/sketching.

This is a big list of things I like. It's always in the works:

I like office supplies, photographs - especially random polaroids, random junk, prismacolor markers & colored pencils, buttons, pins/brooches, paint swatches, journals and notebooks, song lyrics, ephemera, scrapbook materials, summer & the beach, mod/retro fabric & prints, chapstick, Urban Outfitters, ball-point pens, Maui, quotes, making lists. I'm interested in Psychology & Serial Killers...along with Art, Design, and Fashion. Weird, I know. I like magazines - Elle, Lucky and Nylon are some favorites. I'm not a big candy person, but if I had to choose something I'd pick Snickers and Green Gummie Bears. Scents I like are vanilla, lavender, and light fruity scents. I enjoy the comedy of Brian Regan, Jeff Dunham, and Demetri Martin.

A little list of things I avoid.

• I don't like "stupid" comedies, like Superbad or American Pie.
• I don't watch Sex & The City, Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model or most reality TV.
• I don't like rap or country music. I like blues, not country. Picky, picky...hehe!
• I'm not into Harry Potter or Lord Of The Rings.
• I'm not a coffee drinker, haven't had much tea. [I'd be open to trying it. You'd have to give me instructions. Haha!]
• I don't like cutesy things, or really girlie items. No Kawaii, Blythe, over-the-top Victorian, Disney, High School Musical, Anime or Food-related items.
• I'd rather not get anything Wiccan/Pagan/Occult related, but if you do send something with that theme, I'll probably be able to use it somehow - or at least pass it on!

Singing in the car is good. Real good.

Some other info if you'd like to send extras or have something you'd like to give away.

I have 3 siblings: a brother [18], a half-brother [9], and a half-sister [8].

• My brother [18] loves surf/skate apparel and culture. He's big into graphic design and stenciling. He's going to be a freshman in college come fall.
• My littlest brother [9] loves Pokemon, dinosaurs, SpongeBob, Geography - currently the States and their Capitals, his DS and Pokemon games. He's going into 4th grade.
• My little sister [8] likes Pokemon as well, although I'm trying to get her into more girlie things. Glitter lipgloss and eyeshadow would be fun for us to play with. Nothing too over-the-top. She likes playing with stuffed animals and Barbies. She adores making books - coming up with stories and illustrating them. She'll be in the 3rd grade.
