## Wow, so I thought I'd have loads of time for swaps this summer, and all sorts of fun things. Instead I had two jobs and one ordeal after the other...I'm behind on a few swaps. I'm sorry to those who are waiting for stuff from me--you'll get something, I promise! I'm almost caught up. Then I'm going to take a break from swap-bot. Get settled into college and new life craziness. But I'll be back someday! !#*#

My name is Cara-Rae. I am 18. Grew up in the TN mountains, moved to the foothills for a few years, and am returning to the Cumberland Plateau to go to college (University of the South in Sewanee, so excited!)

In school, I mostly study math and sciences, but I am an avid reader and writer. I love poetry. I also love to play saxophone. Alto, tenor, and bari, but mostly bari. I play guitar and recorder, too.

Art is my favorite hobby, my creative outlet, my therapy. Sometimes my art is a little crafty. Colorful and messy, too. I use any medium I can dream up. If I had as much time as I have imagination, I'd be unstoppable.

What else...I love animals. I love nature. I do not like technology, consumerism, and the general mindset of my peers. I don't suffer fools well.

I recycle. So the envelope you get your goodies in has probably traveled many miles already. And I like to see others do the same.

swap coordinators I like being a swap-fairy, so if anyone didn't receive their package, I would love to send to them to make up for it. Just message me and let me know.

Some of my very favorites would include Bob Marley, Godspeed you black emperor!, Nouvelle Vague, Ween, Soul Coughing, Modest Mouse, clouddead, the Indigo Girls, Jim Morrison....I like it intense.

Kill Bills, Pi: Faith in Chaos, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Last Days, Elephant, Gia, V for Vendetta

I don't have TV, but when I'm near it I'm interested in just about everything.

art journals, atcs, sewing, altered books, altered anything. handmade postcards. handmade anything...

I prefer strange/beautiful/sparkly to cutesy, if ya know what I mean.
