About Me

Hi!

Well I'm a 23 year old who is getting married next year - but I'm not panicking!!!

I live in England and enjoy sending and receiving nice pacakages and love that this site lets me get things I'd never think off and share things that I think other people would love.

I love cats but I dont have any atm as my fiance said no to having one in our flat
:( but I get one when we have a house so bring on my kitty! I think the best cat name I've heard is: Chairman Meow.

I love experiencing new things in life and aim to become PADI qualified in diving early next year. I also LOVE Cocktails - both making and drinking them! So if you have any great cocktail creatings I'd love to hear them!

If you would like to do a private swap just drop me a message :)

I dont do crafts. Every so often Ill make a few inchies when I'm feeling inspired and I can sew etc but I just dont have the time to do anything properly so I just stick to my drawings. I go through alot of black gel or drawing pens.

Favorite Movies

I love all sorts of movies and watch a good few each week. Any genre is game with me, I love cartoons though, i have always liked animation and probably always will :D Favourites include:

  • Pirates of the Caribean,
  • Transformers,
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas,
  • Gladiator,
  • Scott Pilgrim against the World,
  • Igor.

Favorite Books

I read a hell of a lot really, I didnt think it was alot but turns out yeah. I get through about 2/3 books a week depending on thickness. Mostly on my commute to work.

I enjoy all sorts of books but generally stick to fiction and sci fi type books, but not all the starships zooming through space to fight off a race of deadly space humanoids! I am waiting for the vampire fad to wear off though so its not all twilight rip offs.

Authors I enjoy are:

  • Jim Butcher,
  • Mike Carey,
  • Gregory Maguire (Wicked),
  • Charlaine Harris
  • Matthew Reilly.

There are lots more but they are the biggest series I've read.

Favorite Television

I watch a huge range of tv shows as there is just so much on most of the time! but all my favourite shows always start at the same time so I am so spoilt for choice! But they all also finish at the same time leaving me a bit empty lol

  • Stargate! Most epic,
  • Supernatural (scary just got very sexy),
  • The Sanctuary - really Samantha Carter...Ok,
  • Futurama, Family Guy, South Park etc, (cartoons!)
  • Dexter,
  • True Blood,
  • Burn Notice,
  • How I met your mother,
  • Big bang Theory, The Inbetweeners
  • Criminal Minds.

Ill also watch loads of other innane stuff on TV just to have a bit of noise. Documentaries are entertaining if they are something I find interesting.

Mega Awesome Computer Games!

A big influence on what I like is that I grew up playing all sorts of computer games so I still love them now and get very excited when a series I like brings out a new one!

Ones i like and can thinnk of right now are:

  • Harvest Moon Series,
  • Professor Leyton - annoyingly addictive
  • Shadow Hearts,
  • Kingdom Hearts,
  • Motorstorm,
  • Star Oceon.

They are mainly RPGs but also some good racing ones, shoot em ups etc!

Things that make me happy :)

So I thought I should put a list of other stuff that I generaly like which isnt covered by the above topics! and since Im trying this syntax thing I'm doing lists! O the excitement right?

  • Stickers,
  • Baking things!,
  • Comics/Comic books,
  • Anything to do with comic book characters,
  • Green/Blue,
  • Nightmare before christmas stuff,
  • Tim Burton,
  • Pokemon - Im one of the cool kids!
  • Cartoons,
  • Dark Horse Comics
  • Letter sets.

With the comics, I love comics with really interesting Front Covers. I have a hobby of copying said covers onto A3 or bigger paper some examples are on my flickr page. All pictures are up for swap if interested. But I often run out of new comics to draw so comics are always being sought! Dark Horse are my fav publishers of comics.

Things that make me sad :(

Thought I should put dislikes but it just feels a bit negative however guess I should put some things down to give a rough idea.

  • Hello Kitty,
  • Teas,
  • Coffee,
  • Pink,
  • Horses,
  • Birds,
  • Mint or things that smell of mint,
  • Fairys.

I dont like it but flakers

Well its an unfortunate part of swapping but sometimes you do get flaked on. I wait a month or so before thinking maybe its not just lost in the post. Will remove instantly from here if something arrives.

  • Letter with a cup of tea 2010 - TheCaffeinatedStamper

bionicrobyn on Sep 5, 2010:

hi kirsty:) congrats on your upcoming wedding! it's very exciting and a great plan to "not panic":) my youngest daughter's theme for her wedding was centered around "stress-free" and they actually pulled it off! you will too... i see that we both like tim burton a LOT and your list of t.v. shows looks very familiar to my t.v. viewing as well...i do like to do crafts but i constantly fall back on pen/ink and using up black gel pens just like you:)
i'll be seeing you in the swaps soon i'm sure! (from "read my profile and leave a nice comment #2)..

SugarHeart on Sep 2, 2010:

Hi Kirsty! :) I'm one of the lucky ones to get to send you a nice comment (Leave a Nice Comment #2!!). I'm 25 and live in Norway by the way, and I also ♥ cats. I have a cat(picture in profile) and she had to kittens on july 19th, the names I gave them was Tiger and Josephine. I'm not sure if we'll keep them, but we probably will, I ♥ them too much to give them away, lol :) Congrats on you getting married, are you planning a big or small wedding? It's good to hear that you're not panicking :P It's really sunny here today.. summer is not over yet it seems, I love autumn, so this time of year is my favorite time ♥ It's so beautiful, and for me the temprature is just right :) I just joined swap-bot, already did some great swap, I think I've gotten a bit to addicted to this, lol :) Today I'm sending out a candy swap, I'm very exited for what I will get in return.

Bye for now, happy swapping! :)
