Hi there! My name's Moriah, and I'm a girl living on the greener side of life. I'm a feminist, I speak Japanese, and I play drums+piano+guitar. I'm abnormally attached to a Japanese comic collection from the 80's (these things are older than me... (-_-;), I practically live at Barnes & Noble, and I have an ability to open my wallet and find more money than I thought I had in there (spooky, right?). I could be stranded on a deserted island with an iPod, a sketchpad, and a book and I would be perfectly happy, although let's hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. :)

My hobbies generally consist of (but are not limited to) politics, drawing (comics and inking are my specialty), learning languages, pen-paling, and photography.

Some of my work:

I'm really happy with anything, but you can make my smile ten times wider by sending items pertaining to:

-Music (I could discuss music and its abundance of genres for hours. I'm generally an indie/alt. rock gal, but I have a soft spot for 60's-90's, rap, folk, and orchestra.)

-Asian or Middle-Eastern culture

-History

-Manga/comics (If you draw your own comics, you can send those, too.)

-Pushing Daisies

-Disneyworld (especially Epcot)

-Religion (Any or all)

-Political (leaders, ideas, issues, etc...)

-Astrology (I'm a Capricorn)

-Stationary

-Henna (or body-art-related items)

-Pandas

-Halloween/Goth

-Asian candy

-Interesting, funny, or bizarre postcards; normal ones are good, too, though.

-San Francisco

-Feminism

-Polaroid, photobooth, or purikura pictures

-Teen Titans

-Urban Outfitters-esque style

-Zooey Deschanel

That's all I can think of for now. If you happen to have an item you think I'd like but isn't on the list, send it anyway. I like almost everything. :)

I read books like there's no tomorrow, so here's a condensed version:

"Brave New World" (Aldous Huxley), "The Shadow of The Wind" (Carlos Ruiz Zafon), "White Oleander", "Paint it Black" (Both are by Janet Fitch), "Full Frontal Feminism" (Jessica Valenti), "He's a Stud, She's a Slut, and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know" (Jessica Valenti), "Slaughterhouse 5" (Kurt Vonnegut), "Memoirs of a Geisha" (Arthur Golden), "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (Oscar Wilde), and anything by Markus Zusak

Manga: Death Note, Bleach, RE:Play, Eyeshield 21, Dramacon, Nightschool, Bizenghast, Beast Master, My Heavenly Hockey Club....

First and foremost: Pushing Daisies and anything on the USA Network (Royal Pains, Suits, Law&Order SVU, House M.D., etc.), The Twilight Zone, Weeds, Supernatural, Chelsea Lately, and Will &Grace

I could watch CNN all day long. :)

This brings the same problem as the one with books: there are much too many.
