Update 9/20/09: New address is updated in my profile!

Thought I'd update my profile a bit...I've been on swap-bot for a few months now and am pretty addicted! I love the instant-gratification of forum tags. I also like reading through the forums to hear people's stories and discussions and good advice :). I'm a working girl but recently started getting my master's in comp sci (part-time)...I don't know why it's so hard to figure out what I want to do!

I'm not a really picky person (except about food :) but I'm getting better I eat raw-fish sushi now and try to eat some vegetables) I like most anything craftsy, and love when other people make craftsy things for me! I like knitting and crochet the most, I'm not very good at scrapbooking (yet!) and haven't tried ATCs but I like swapping for these things!

knitting, crochet, origami, paper crafts, scrapbooking, cross-stitch, embroidery

• FBs, LBs, stickerbags, slams, any other kind of bags (memobags, game bags/books etc.)
• cute things, especially kawaii but I'm not super picky (although I don't think diddl is very cute), also like lisa frank and things that are colorful
• fav chars: mamegoma, kuromi, any san-x chars, any kind of bunny, pucca!, mashimaro, morning glory :)
• I love the small horizontal memos- like the 1/3 of the notepad size- to use as address labels!
• yarn
• any handmade surpise! ...especially if it's a useful/functional thing (like blank cards to send people, a holder for...things, etc.)
• matchboxes
• things to put inside matchboxes- brads, buttons, ribbon, beads
• cute decorative buttons/beads- I'm really into sewing them onto amigurumi cupcakes at the moment (even if they're things like little animals)
• little cards that say swap, name, etc. to inclose with swaps I send
• decorated address labels
• ATCs
• anime/manga (likes: cooking, music, shoujo, comedy, artsy, non-fighting shonen (except naruto...and bleach...ok maybe some others); dislikes: dragonballz, gundam)
• coffee/flavored coffee samples
• knitting/crochet/cross-stitch patterns (or any crafty magazines)
• sushi-themed crafts (i.e. a sushi plushie or charm etc. I have stitch markers already that I got on etsy ^_^)
• girly cocktail recipes- about the extent of my cooking abilities haha

• I can make swap cards, address labels, and cardstock tags
• I make lots of knitted/crochet things- I would love to make an amigurumi or something for you, send me a message and we can swap!
• decorated and filled matchboxes
• used postage stamps
• random nice papers
• korean/japanese pop music CD (made for a kawaii swap, but I could burn you a copy!)
• handmade envies- variety of styles
• like making LBs (labelbags), stickerbags, FBs (friendship books)

Spirited Away, I Heart Huckabees, Howl's Moving Castle, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sin City, Shaolin Soccer

Not really any shows I'm obsessed with currently, but I do love tv. Past obsessions include: The O.C., Heroes season 1, Rome, Brotherhood, True Blood, Tudors, sex and the city, Buffy, stargate (the older sg-1 episodes), Lost (seasons 1-2).

I love drama and soap operas and also watch reality tv sometimes (fav: real world battle of the sexes). I also watch a lot of anime (fav series: Fruits Basket, Nodame Cantabile, Death Note, Hikaru no Go, Yakitate Japan, Ouran HSHC, Love Hina, Peach Girl...etc. etc.).
