About Me

I love to do private swaps so please PM me if you are interested!

I am 23. I enjoy trying new fruits. I am a master brownie maker and I like to add movies to my Netflix queue. I have a blue star on Ebay. I like vintage cookbooks and going into grocery stores I have never been in before. Its my dream to be in a Publix, Wegman's or Ralph's. I'm Liberal and it makes me happy. I like to drive to strange locations just to say I've been there. I think about what I would do in the event of a zombie apocalypse. My favorite band ever is Electric Six and I missed their last concert and I was devastated, the reason why I missed it is funny now though. I have cool ear cartilage piercings. I have an arch nemesis. I don't think southern WI has enough fried chicken fast food restaurants. I enjoy discussing gin and drinking chartreuse. I dream about Disney World, Noah's Ark water park, tornadoes, and going on a trip and forgetting to bring something important pretty frequently. I get excited about new types of junk food. Glitter is fun and so is considering infinity.

Favorite Music

Electric Six, Nine Inch Nails, The Deftones, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Prince, Etc. Etc. Etc.

Favorite Books

The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger, The Pleasure Of My Company by Steve Martin, The Shining by Stephen King, Life Of Pi by Yann Martel, and Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich are my top five favorite books

Things I Would Enjoy

*I would love to get 1" buttons with cute/cool/interesting designs on them! I have just discovered my new intense preoccupation with them! Ahhh!!! I love them!!! I want to cover the ceiling of my car with buttons!

*PaperBackSwap credits! If you are interested in giving me any please PM me and I'll try to figure out how to do it!

*I am collecting the old choose your own adventure books. I have #15 House of Danger and #52 Ghost Hunter so far so any besides that would be cool.

*Cool handmade owl stuff (or anything else really) even though I am not good at making things myself

*I have also decided that I would like to collect tiny owl figurines!

*Basically anything else that's owl related

*Breakfast food related stuff except for recipes and the foods themselves. For instance, maybe a button with a picture of a stack of pancakes on it.

*Stuff that has food with faces on it

*Bath stuff that isn't bubble bath, lotion, or shower gel (I have too much of that stuff but if its Philosophy or LUSH brand I'd love to have it!)

*Glitter that is so small and fine that its almost like powder

*Vintage and antique cookbooks (except Better Homes and Gardens cook books, I think I almost have the entire collection now!)

*Expired coupons from before 2000

*Reusable grocery bags from grocery stores other than Piggly Wiggly, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Cub, Copps, Trig's, Woodman's, Logli's, Pick N Save, and Sentry. In short, if its a grocery store that can be easily located in Wisconsin, I probably already have a bag from it. (I am not near an Albertson's, Festival Foods, or Econofoods though so I would like one of those bags!) I would love a reusable bag from the grocery stores that are only in the South and Northeast! Also, if you can locate a grocery bag with IGA on it prominently I will be very happy!

*Odd things like the stuff out of the Archie McPhee catalog

*Fun surprises, that's pretty open to a lot of things!

*Basically, anything thoughtful that's something you'd want for yourself! As long as you aren't specifically picking out stuff from my dislikes list I will probably like it!

*And I should also add that I like gaudy 60s and 70s patterns and especially the brown, orange, and yellow combinations.

Food Stuffs I Would Like

*Unique and delicious candy. I also like other types of potentially delicious food too.

*Exciting variations on American junk food that I can only get from another country. For example, the unique flavors of Kit Kats I got from Japan!

*Pear, lime, blueberry, cranberry, and apricot candy is delicious (but not really pear scented things such as pearberry)

*Kasugai gummies

*Cherry Blossom Kit Kats

*Peppermint Ritter Sport

*Frigor chocolate by Nestle. The last time I saw it I was in Switzerland.

*Pocky that isn't regular strawberry, chocolate, almond, green tea, or Men's would be fun! Dessert Pocky like strawberry dessert Pocky blows my mind

*Beverly water. I believe that it comes from Italy and if anybody could locate some for me I would be so grateful!

Things I Would Not Prefer

*Hershey and Nestle chocolate unless it's a unique variation that you can only find outside of the US.

*Country style knick knacks

*Elements for making arts and crafts like beads, ribbons, and scraps of fabric and paper- I just don't have any use for such things

*CDs

*Items pertaining to Western religions

*Journals

*Dollar store items

*Gum & Marshmallow candy

*Non handmade stuffed animals (way too many of those in my attic)

*And even though I like it, I have way too much bubble bath

Flavors/scents I don't like

*Watermelon

*Spearmint

*Irish Creme

*Banana

*Cinnamon flavor like the sort of flavoring in Red Hots and cinnamon gum

*Green apple (specifically green though, red apple is fine)

*Black licorice

*Vanilla scented things always seem to smell medicinal to me, but I love real vanilla flavor

*Artificial grape

*Artificial raspberry

*I am also not a fan of really dark chocolate, marzipan, or sour things.

My thoughts on tea

My favorite types of tea are white and green tea.
I especially like green and white teas that have a floral (like jasmine) or peppermint flavor to them. I am a huge fan of earl grey and lady grey tea and would like to try brands other than Stash, Lipton and Twinings.
I hate chamomile, chai, rooibos tea and any sort of tea with spearmint, anise or licorice flavor. Herbal teas are nice.
Besides earl grey and lady grey tea I'm not the biggest black tea fan in the world.
I'm not a fan of Lipton brand tea but I won't freak out if I get it, its just that it seems like anybody anywhere can get Lipton tea so its not thrilling to receive.
