Hi! I'm 26 years old, female, living in New York City with a boring office job, but big dreams of moving into a nice little suburban town where everyone knows my name :)

I tolerate pretty much anything, but my favorite genres are hip hop and rock, weighing more toward the rock... also a lot of mellower stuff too... In general, some of my faves are Third Eye Blind, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Evanescence, Enya, Nickelback, Imogen Heap/Frou Frou, A Perfect Circle, Dashboard Confessional, Daughtry, Dido, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer, Lil' Kim, Busta Rhymes, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Usher... need I go on!? ...oh and I like some techno too :) For anyone in a CD swap with me, feel free to send me anything you like; I love hearing new music, and I think I'm pretty open-eared to new sounds.

I'm not a big movie person... but my faves are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Vanilla Sky, Memento, Garden State, Pan's Labrynth (though it was way too gorey!)... errrr... and I'm sure there are some others I can't think of at the moment... mostly philosophical-like stuff... I also like watching comedies for their entertainment value :)

Whose line is it anyway?, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Everybody loves Raymond... and anything else that is REALLY funny! I really like Spongebob and Blue's Clues (the ORIGINAL, with Steve) too! (I'm a big kid!) :P Oh, and how could I forget The Dog Whisperer!?...and American Idol :)

Ok, so my favorite book of all time is The Little Prince - I read it in French class and fell in love with it. Yes, it's a children's book, but I recommend it to all adults! and yes, they have published it in English! :) I also recently became a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. There is another book I've read recently called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, and that was kind of a life-changing one for me. There are a few other books, maybe, but overall I'm really not a huge reader.

My main obsessions at the moment (and for quite a while, really) are: baking and cake decorating, music, photography, snowboarding, Buddhism (from the philosophical point of view, not the religious) and yoga... Anything related to any of those things would be grand! But, I like arts and crafts in general and I'm not picky :) I also am an animal freak! I particularly LOVE squirrels (and other cute and furry creatures)! :) I really love nature in general. I'm trying to get into more swaps, but right now I'm trying my hand at mostly CDs, ATCs and matchboxes. I'm also going to try my first decoupage project soon, so anything related to that would be cool too :)

Like I said, I'm not picky... I'm basically a big kid at heart. Also a romantic and someone who's into philosophy and things that keep me and the people around me happy :)... When choosing a swap for me, anything a 5 year old would like, OR anything philosophical-like (yes, TOTALLY opposite ends of the spectrum!) would be perfect, I'm sure... but I'm not picky, so send whatever you feel! :) I love candles and candle holders, either uniquely shaped or great smelling. My fave colors are crimson red, and also deep shades of blue. Dark pinks are nice too, medium shades of green - mostly "richer" looking colors... oh and I love ribbons :) and any kinds of paper scraps or magazine clippings are cool too... Also, if you have any "directions" on how to do new crafts, I would love to get those, since I like trying new things, but just need a little push :)... Hmm, let me know if you want me to add any more info! :)
