I'm in my 30's (shhh.. Don't tell my maturity level. It still thinks its in its early 20's! ) and recently moved in with my LBF (Lovely BoyFriend). There will be a wedding sometime in the future, but it isn't a rush order item. I don't have any kids (nor plan on having any) in my life aside from being Aunt Ickie to my 3 year old niece. She is my jellybean and I can hardly wait until she's ready to start crafty stuff with me. I plan on stealing her away for 'fun days' very often. Eventually LBF and I will move to a bigger place and adopt a dog, but until then sis has one of those I can borrow too! I've a twisted sense of humor that not everyone gets, and am not easily offended unless its something thats just simply wrong (such as racist jokes), so if you have something you think is funny for a swap, I'd love to see/ hear it!

Eclectic is just a fancy way of saying weird. ; ) There's such a wide variety of things that I adore... Pulp fiction art, vintage (think 30's -50's not 70's and 80's) fashions, Tigger, all kinds of dogs (even kind of ugly ones), horses, midnight and cult classic movies, anything in a shade of purple, collage art, tattoos, chocolate (especially the really dark kind), miniatures, mixtapes, sushi , pirates, books of all kinds, kitschy purses, cookbooks, stars, and creamsicles just to name some of them. The list of what I don't like is much smaller... The color orange, the smell of lavender, incense sticks, eggplant, horror films, 70's fabric patterns, and Hannah Montana. I'm also not really into religious items - any religion.

I make beaded bracelets and necklaces that some people like enough to pay me for. : ) I also like papercrafts like making postcards. Basically I just like being a lil bit creative. I LOVE receiving ATC's and I've tried to make a couple, but they just seem so inferior to the artwork I see so many others creating. If you get me in a swap and you create ATC's I'd love to have one!

I don't watch any tv right now. No, really, I don't! I catch a few shows online, but currently only have a dvd player hooked up to my television. I'm sooo glad there's Hulu.com. sigh I still miss Adult Swim and The Big Bang Theory though.

Oh this is a big list! There is no particular order for these favorites. Its too much like asking Grandma to list her grandkids in the order of how much she loves them!
The Breakfast Club, The Nightmare Before Christrmas, Moulin Rouge, A Lot Like Love Love Actually, Bennie and Joon, In July, About The Looking For And Finding Of Love (those last two are German films) and the list goes on ....

I'll listen to almost anything but Gangsta Rap and sappy Country music. I'm around opera and classical symphonies as well as instrumental ambient music when I'm with LBF. When I'm with my BFF it's usually R&B or hip hop thats playing. Left on my own, I've got 80's new wave or new folk music on.

Since he's such a big part of my life and some of the swaps I've been in have included him, I should probably list a bit about my LBF. Here are a few things that might help future swap partners. He's :

• a vegetarian who very much watches what he eats -so no animal products in food items sent for him please (gelatin, ect)

• straightedge (SXE) so nothing with alcohol or caffeine

• an artist- he draws mostly with black gel pens

• into anime and cosplay (makes great costumes - you should see his Kratos!)

• into classical music, songs from the 30's and 40's and music like MIA, Tipsy, Busdriver, and some video game music (think Final Fantasy)

• dresses very 'skater / surfer' usually (as in tees and board shorts with Vans

  Thats about all I can think to add here. If there are any questions, please PM me. :)

The address I have my mail sent to is where my sister lives (where I used to live before moving in with LBF). Its a much nicer and safer (and unfortunately more exspensive) area without sketchy neighbors and I don't have to wonder if the wonderful packages you all send will be stolen. This means though that I don't always get my mail right away. I try to stop by once a week, and always make it within a week and a half to hang out and clean up the mail spot. If it seems like its taking a little while for me to rate you for a package you sent, please feel free to give me a nudge and I'll make sure to get over there and check that it arrived. I'll be sure to rate you right after I get home from getting it, too! Thanks!
