15 November 2009:

Okay, wow. It's been a lot harder than I thought it would be to fill my commitments. I really want to thank all of my understanding partners. I'm just really struggling to do this stuff right now, and it's really irrational, but it's what's going on. Please, please bare with me. All items owed will be sent. Thank you.

2 November 2009: I have lost a lot of my desire to swap. The stress of school, work, feeling sick all the time, and dealing with serious depression, as well as getting wrapped up in things here at home, has lead me to feel very apathetic about my swaps. I should be able to send out all of my swaps on time, but if this changes I will contact my partners and update this blurb. This is just an update for anyone concerned that I haven't been on the forums or anything lately. I just don't feel the spark for swapping right now.

Thank you for understanding.

Katy

Bonjour! My name is Katy and I wish I spoke French. Swap-Bot is probably more important than it should be in my life, ha. I'm definitely a quirky gal. I love Sanrio characters, playing Scrabble with my boyfriend, swapping, spending time with people who make me laugh, painting even though I'm terrible at it, sweet treats, watching Food Network despite having no culinary prowess, sleeping hard when my body lets me, rainy weather, making my customers happy, and the thrill of the hunt for the perfect little something to make someone's day.

I would really like to learn how to cook as well as how to speak French. If you have something you think would help me in either of these areas, don't be afraid to send it my way! If you'd like to do a private swap with me, please let me know. I love receiving kawaii stuff and handmade items. If you're a crafty kind of person, I would most certainly use any bags/purses, hats, or scarves made for me. =D

I've decided to make this a little section of it's own. These are a few items I really don't have any use for, or would prefer not to receive. =]

• Knock-Off Sanrio Products - please do not send me any fake Sanrio stuff unless it's like the most adorably awesome well done knock off ever.
• Bath Products - I only take showers so please don't send anything that can only be used in a bath.
• Propaganda Materials - I would strongly prefer if you did not try to convert me to your religion, business, or whatever via swapbot.
• Kuromi, Keroppi, Badtz-Maru - These are my least favourite Sanrio characters.
