SatisHuman

I'm really, really interested in acquiring/trading foreign currency.

Sati is my cat. I am her human. She passed away in Jan 2020, but she is still my baby, hence my username. I also have four other kitties, Gravy Boat, Isis, Peta, and Elliot. Yes, I am a crazy cat lady and I love my animals more than absolutely anything else on this planet.

After cats, my other favorite animals are flamingos, seahorses, hedgehogs, frogs, penguins, turtles, llamas, geese, snakes...pretty much anything that isn't a spider is cool with me. I like animals more than most people, which is why I spend lots of time introvert-ing with my cats.

I love foreign things - languages, people, cars and alcohol. If you speak a foreign language and want to tickle my fancy just write something in it. I don't even care if you translate it for me, I just like the way it looks! I also collect foreign currency and spoons.

My favorite color is purple. I'm also fond of green, orange and silver.

I love Jon Bon Jovi.

I am an atheist, child-free by choice, pro-choice, vehemently liberal, pro-LGBTQ rights, a mental health advocate, an avid reader, into body modification, and a letterboxer. Some people may warn their children about people like me because I'm heavily tattooed and pierced. But I promise I'm harmless.

I am impossible to offend. The raunchier, the better. I love adult coloring books (by which I mean curse words, sexual innuendo, offensive themes). While I like to laugh at things that most people dislike, I don't condone hate speech or cruelty.

• Alice in Wonderland is my passion. I am primarily interested in the Lewis Carroll version with the original illustrations by John Tenniel, but I also like the Disney and Tim Burton versions. The Cheshire Cat is my favorite character.
• Harry Potter (Hufflepuff)
• Coca-Cola
• Jagermeister
• Foreign currency
• Canada
• I letterbox as well. I am Sati's Human on Atlas Quest. I am also a member of Postcrossing.com.

Music

80s! Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Guns N Roses, Duran Duran, Firehouse, Nelson, Cinderella, etc.

I love Fleetwood Mac.

And of course the music that characterized my angst-ridden teenage years - Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Korn, Tool

The last concert I attended was Bon Jovi (of course).

Since there aren't any strictly 80's or angst-ridden stations around here, I listen to classic rock during the day. My favorite morning show is 2GNC.

Books

I will read anything you put in front of me. I like fiction, erotica, autobiographies, murder mysteries and feminist literature. David Sedaris, Anne Rice and Jeanette Winterson are just a few of the authors I enjoy. I just finished "Spare" by Prince Harry (Can I still call him that?). I'm not obsessed with the royals but I was curious to see what he had to say. It was interesting, but not riveting.

You can get a pretty good idea of my interests by taking a glance at the groups I'm a member of. I really like learning paper crafts (especially one page wonders), mail art, profile surprises, coloring collaborations, postcard exchanges, and making lists.

I appreciate when someone takes the time to personalize a swap or includes a special tuck in. I don't hold hearts hostage based on this, I recognize the hard work that goes into every swap.

Postcards

I'm very easy to please. I'll take new, storebought, freebies, ads, homemade, and Zazzle cards. I have no preference if it is naked or in an envelope. I like all kinds of postcards; the weirder, the better. If you have a postcard you don't know what to do with or that you think no one will like, then send it to me. I like postcards from foreign countries (preferably in their language), tourist cards, unusual places, something you made yourself, a card you made yourself that represents one of my interests (for instance, the Appalachian State University logo, a bottle of Magic Hat #9, a TPS report, or a Canadian flag). And if you really want to make me scream like a little girl, I love to receive cards with:

• flamingos

• giraffes

• pelicans

• penguins

• chinchillas

• cats

• emus

• llamas

• spoons

• mermaids

• Harry Potter

• Alice in Wonderland

• cupcakes

• hedgehogs

Dislikes

• having my name misspelled
• people singing along with the radio
• grape or cherry flavored candy
• the color gold
• bags of any type
• gummy candy (bears, worms, etc.)
• powder based things like Jell-O or Koolaid
• overtly religious stuff
• anything child related (Anne Geddes, Precious Moments, etc.)
• anything that pertains to babies, having babies, weddings, “kiddish” items, teaching stickers

I love Christmas but I am not religious. For me it is all about sensory indulgence. I love the lights, the smells, decorations, ornaments, cards, trees, presents, and carols. I love the commercial hype, not the proselytizing.

I promise to send and rate on time. If you don't receive something, please let me know.

However, I am not a Swap-zi. I am not going to count the days between the deadline and the postmark, unless it is an egregious amount of time. We are all here to have fun and I understand that life happens. If there is an issue, just let me know. That being said, I mark my items as sent when I click send or put them in the post. If it is after the collection time or a holiday, the mail will be picked up the next day.
