There was some confusion and a lot of trouble in my life between about 30 June and 9 July. Any swaps that were meant to be sent by then have been sent now (9 July, 2:30 EST). A thousand apologies for the lateness and please let me know if something doesn't arrive.

I'm a twenty one year old almost college student (going to school in September) with a big interest in animals. I live with two roommates, a dog, a cat, an orange beardie, a leopard gecko and up until very recently, a ferret (of doom). We are currently testing out foster dogs for our local dog rescue. I spend a lot of time online -- writing, reading and generally just looking at stuff and I love getting mail in real life where everything is in much brighter colour than on the internet. When I grow up (yep, twenty one and I still dream big girl dreams) I hope to have a whole bunch of dogs, lizards, books and cupcake recipes.

Postcards, photos, lists of things, big dogs, small dogs, dogs that are in more of a mid range, lemonade, dancing around like a lunatic, pretty much every kind of music mix you could think of!, anything kitschy, shouting at the screen when I'm watching movies or tv, umbrellas, designing tattoos I can never get, owls, piercings, gluing bits of paper together, using fancy scrapbook techniques to create secret world domination plans...

So to follow that, I would love to receive anything with dogs, owls, fancy papers, new markers or music mixes...

Anything with pictures/info of sharks. Sharks terrify the living daylights out of me! Allergy wise, nothing with pineapple or lots of red food colouring. And you know, preferably nothing that will try to murder me when it gets out of it's box.
