About Me

I live in Texas and I currently work full-time in the accounting department of a local company. I have a dog named Whiskey and he is the cutest dog ever. I am biased, of course :) I also started graduate school this year. I am getting a Diplomate in Translation Studies and I hope to become a professional translator/interpreter. I would love to translate novels and screenplays. P.S. I recycle packaging whenever possible. P.P.S To all our lovely international swappers, I've started incorporating all those beautiful canceled stamps into my crafting so I love to see those on the envelopes but only if it is not an inconvenience for you :)

Favorite Television

Current: House/ Lost/ The Simpsons/ The Young &The Restless/Meerkat Manor/ Top Chef/Project Runway From the 80's & 90's: Quantum Leap/ Designing Women/The Golden Girls/ Family Ties/Moonlighting/China Beach/ Northern Exposure "Classics": MASH/Bonanza/I Love Lucy

Favorite Movies

Rear Window/The Shawshank Redemption/The African Queen/Steel Magnolias/A Beautiful Mind/Schindler's List/Amores Perros/The Talented Mr. Ripley/Where The Heart Is/Center Stage/Memento

Favorite Books

To Kill A Mockingbird/One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest/Angela's Ashes/Marley and Me/The Shining/The Secret Life of Bees
I also read books on personal finance, health and beauty, personal style, biographies, autobiographies.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite craft is crochet. I love all kinds of yarn and thread. I also like crochet hooks that are embellished or made of something other than steel or plastic. Mostly, I only crochet small things such as bookmarks and ipod socks. The largest things I've made are prayer shawls. I learned from my mom and she has crocheted tablecloths, curtains, beadspreads and other large projects. I am not there yet lol. I also enjoy coloring. Yes, coloring. As in coloring books. I'm a kid at heart lol. I find it very soothing and relaxing.

Favorite Music

Ever since I discovered swap-bot and these fabulous CD swaps, my iPod has been doing backflips from sheer happiness :) I am fluent in English and Spanish so I have quite the musical library. I've found something to love in everything from rock to pop to country to opera. There are great songs in every musical genre. We just have to stop and listen and give everything a chance. I love to find new artists (or at least new to me)and discover new songs. I don't mind explicit lyrics. I have no problems with heavy metal or rap music. These are just a few of my favorite artists but by no means all of them. Please feel free to include anything you like in the CDs you send me.
The Beatles (super fan)/Aerosmith/Red Hot Chili Peppers/The Pixies/Miguel Bose/The Duhks/Cafe Tacuba/Mecano/Elton John/Luis Miguel (I want to get all of his early 80s stuff on CD)/Shakira/Alex Syntek/CCR

Things I like

I love fairies, especially, Tinkerbell: I like pencils, pens, cards, stationery any small Tinkerbell or fairy items.
I love Looney Tunes: small stuff, espcially Bugs and Tweety. I enjoy tea and coffee. I love yankee candle tarts. I am an avid reader so bookmarks are appreciated. I can never find a post-it-note when I need one so these will be appreciated in any colors.
I am a dog lover so anything cutesy that features dogs or puppies will be well received. I have nothing against kitties so any cat lovers that want to share their cutesy stuff please do so. I also like butterflies, bumblebees and dolphins. I like crochet magazines (back issues are great).
Back issues of women's magazines or home decor magazines are welcomed. I also like empty eyeshadow palettes or any container (like those tin pencil boxes/cases) that can be used to store depotted eyeshadows. I like "piggy" banks though they don't necessarily have to look like piggies.

Favortie Colors

I am not afraid of color. I love color. I'm especially fond of deep colors and jewel tones.

Things I Don't Like

Scented candles(I enjoy them but have plenty) The smell of cigarette smoke. Lipbalms (I like 'em but I have sooo many) Soaps, hand creams/lotions

Response: Glad you liked the CD. Yes, I've seen Mama Mia and I loved it (except for Pierce's singing lol). I went with my best friend and we really enjoyed it. I really look forward to hearing from you :)

Comment: Thanks very much for the double CD pack. When you mentioned it was all in Spanish, I didn't think I'd recognize anything - however, I have heard some of Control Machete before (Pesada & Amoroes Perros) but still ,it was very neat - it's too bad we get so little Spanish music up in Canada - it'd be nice to hear more of it! P.S. - thanks for the memo pad as well!
Response: I'm glad you liked it. I really enjoyed putting this mix together.
