Personal
I haven't been active in Swap-Bot for awhile. If you've PM'ed me, and you haven't heard back from me, please be patient. I'm trying my best to get back to everyone in a timely manner. Thank you.
My name is Angela. I'm 31 years old and a lifelong resident of New Mexico. I live in Albuquerque but I'm from a ranch in northern New Mexico. I'm divorced, but partnered, and I don't have any children except for my fat cat named Rollins (Raw-lenz).
I hardly ever check my email, so if you need to get a hold of me, please PM me.
Interests
Spiders* insects* live music (extreme metal is my bleeding heart)* smelling good* being clean* getting dirty* full moons* robots* rockets* sci-fi* paper* vintage* cemeteries* paranormal* zombies* coffins* funerals* skulls* haunted places* headstone reading* good quality handcrafted/handmade anything* snail mail* stormy weather* thunderstorms* hearses* gore* Dia De Los Muertos* graphology (handwriting analysis)* nature* mountains* trees* werewolves* elephants* playing poker* and anything dark, unusual, strange, and bizarre.
I love to travel. I also like automotive, sports, good beer, outdoor activities, and some firearms. Yes, I'm somewhat of a tomboy but always and most definitely a lady. I love the outdoors! I like to camp, hike, and fish. Have I mentioned that I LOVE trees?
I'm also a philatelic; I enjoy math & science, small doses of alcohol, bingo, and enjoying the company of my family and friends. I love thunderstorms and cloudy days. Oh yeah, and I LOVE food and I like to cook when I'm in the mood. I speak some spanish and I've always wanted to learn how to sign language. So far, all I know is the alphabet and some simple words. I love things in other languages, i.e. paper, books, magazines, calendars, etc.
I collect anything that has to do with spiders, cemeteries, and skulls.
Misc
I'm not easily offended. I think I may be a little obscene and offensive myself. Ha, lol, jk. I like to laugh and enjoy comedic things. I try not to be so serious because I believe life is too short.
Politics & Religion
I'm not very comfortable with the topics of politics and/or religion. I believe that there is a natural balance that includes all elements. Please do not send me anything of the two.
Rating
I pledge to rate! I always send out my swaps, so if you don't receive something from me, please contact me and I will resend.
Also, in return, please rate me. I depend on your rates to keep track of my swaps. If you don't rate, I will more than likely get in touch with you for an update. Thanks!

Black, all shades of grey, dark blues, and all shades of red (the darker, the better).
I LOVE to read. I enjoy mostly fiction, comic books. I like historical fiction. I've noticed that I like the 'Oprah Book Club' books a lot. I also enjoy good, frightening tales about the supernatural. I will admit that I enjoy the occasional trashy, erotic novel. I know, I'm terrible. I also enjoy reading maps, of all places.
A few include; Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 28 Days Later (All zombie flix really), all werewolf flix, Alien Trilogy, Star Wars, Predator, AVP, horror, most mob flix (Goodfellas, Casino), Fight Club, 80's movies (Sixteen Candles, Ghostbusters, National Lampoon, etc), and on and on. NO chick flix. Yuck.
Sports Center, Seinfeld, Family Guy, My Name is Earl, Lockup, No Reservations, Mad Men, The Munsters, The L Word, Ace of Cakes, train wreck television (Celeb Rehab, Sober House, etc), and VH1 Reality.
Halloween, Dia De Los Muertos, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving (for the food of course! I'm always thankful =) ). In that order.
I love extreme metal, grindcore, death, doom, and thrash metal. Here are few of my favorite bands:
Cryptopsy, Pig Destroyer, Severe Torture, Blood Red Throne, Incantation, Immolation, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, Suffocation, Today Is The Day, Waco Jesus, Soilent Green, Disgorge (Mexico), Gorerotted, Lividity, Defeated Sanity (Germany), Cephalic Carnage, Old Sepultura (Brazil), Testament, Slayer, Decrepit Birth, and too many more to mention.
I also like some hip-hop (mostly underground stuff), R&B, reggae, classical, punk, classic Motown, some 80's (both pop and rock), and old western. NOT COUNTRY! ha.
I don't like FLAKERS, coffee, grocery shopping, the sound of clipping nails, bad drivers, the smell of cigarette smoke (especially on swap items), rodents, monkeys, stuffed animals, Disney, chocolate, bad liars who think they're good at it, people who don't take responsibility for their actions, myspace, clowns, loud and obnoxious people, soul suckers, meth heads, and negative spirits.
I enjoy paper crafts. I make envelopes, postcards, cards, and sometimes bookmarks. I've been making ATCs for the past year now, and I must admit, I'm addicted! I just started to sew too. Yikes! Watch out now!
I recycle packaging.
~Hair accessories (barrettes, bandanas, headbands, hair ties, hair clips, etc)
~Samples! I LOVE free samples of pretty much anything, except for baby stuff. I don't have any need for baby stuff.
~Bookmarks made by you!
~H.G. Giger art
~Anything Alien (the movie) or Predator related.
~Glitter pens (I absolutely LOVE the Gelly Roll Sakura/Japan pens)
~Old photographs
~Perfume samples, body sprays (no floral please. I like clean, soft scents.)
~Garbage Pail Kids!!! Yess.
~Altoids tins, or anything similar in size.
~Handmade sleep masks, pouch for my cell (LG Dare), check book cover, wallet, hair ties, and barrettes.
~Snappy microwave popcorn. It's not sold anywhere around here. I think it's primarily sold on the east coast.
~Spider, skull, cemetery, headstone, zombies, vintage, old castles, weather related (storms), trees, mountains, rivers, and architecture postcards and/or notecards
~Cool return address labels
~Anything to do with early model Camaros. My favorite years are 1968 and 1973.
~Envelopes and postcards, any size, any color, store bought or handmade.
~Speciality paper to make envelopes or to wrap gifts with.
~Good quality, thick magazine paper with fun images (to make envelopes with)
~Regional & International postage stamps and maps
~I dig calendars, as a matter of fact, I'm obsessed. Ha! I love vintage (1930's, 40's, 50's, and 60's) and also the tiny calendars (approx. 4"x3" size)
~Anything that has to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers
~Anything with stars
~Spider, skull, cemetery anything
~The L Word series (all seasons)
~Anything from Brandon Maldonado (local artist) http://brandonmaldonado.com/

Hi, I found your cemetry photo swap while looking round swapbot and love the sound of it, I wondered if you would be doing another one anytime soon as I know I would love to take part and a few others have expressed an interest.

Well, for me being your first, I'm the luckiest!!! I've been showing everyone all the goodies;) I love those types of books. I'm eager to start on this Dahmer book. I wasn't able to because my appt. was cancelled today. Bring on the night, I just may have time. I'd love to read that book when your finished. However, I'd love to do a private swap with ya for it, or anytime! This way I can share with you;) Thanks for the info on the font. I think I have it and its under another name. Either way, I'll find it.:P Thanks so much again!
Just mailed you a little something I made... :) :)
¡Oh mierda! I totally meant to sign up for your cemetery swap and missed the deadline. :-( I'll catch the next round! Hope you are doing well.
Take care!
