I love to swap mix-tapes.

I like odd finds from antique stores and junk shops like old metal pins, patches, skeleton keys, any small metal machine parts, clock parts, found metal objects or brass fixtures, cassette tapes, small bits of fabric, weird old photographs, odd books or old magazines, strange unknown devices, ufo or time machine parts, weird old toys or action figures.

I am a huge record collector. I specialize in punk, glam-rock, power-pop, and garage rock'n'roll christmas records, however my entire collection is not just christmas stuff. I love anything that relates to those styles of music such as magazines, buttons, clothing or zines (especially diy ones).

I like VHS movies that might not be common on dvd especially horror, christmas, christmas-horror, Bill Murray (i like ANYTHING that has to do with Bill Murray!)

Other music I like is old blues, some classical or old-timey if its not too mainstream, 80s new wave, 60's pop and bubblegum, 70s and 80s heavy metal, old school rap (from the era of Run DMC, etc.)

I would also be very grateful to receive your personal recipes. I like pretty much everything so any recipe will be appreciated as long as you didn't just go and grab it off of recipes.com or something.

I love anything that has to do with star wars, pac-man (or ms pac-man) KISS, Bill Murray (did I mention I like Bill Murray?) teenage mutant ninja turtles, Christmas, or any of those things combined.

For international swaps, anything goes. I love to learn new stuff about places I haven't been (which is anywhere outside the US). The weirder or more obscure the better.

I like to garden (fruits, vegetables, herbs, no flowers or other useless plants) so seeds are cool.

I like baseball (SF Giants), basketball (Portland Trailblazers) and soccer.

I like anything related to hot sauce or beer or bill murray.

I like vintage (60s-80s) printed fabric items like old t-shirts, bandannas, fanny packs, beer cozys, etc. I don't mind if they are beat up or dirty (to a certain extent.)

I like camping, backpacking, and survival so anything related to that is ok.

I like magic, card games, dice games, board games and old video games (nothing after N64).

If you're still really stumped write me a letter and tell me a really off the wall story about something thats happened to you or someone you know (maybe a long time ago you met bill murray, tell me about that!)

stuff that you can find easily in target, wal-mart, etc (unless it somehow relates to something I listed above). I like odd finds so stuff that can be commonly purchased isn't of much interest to me.

I'm not a fan of modern rock/pop/country/rap music so if we're tape trading don't send me anything by the Killers or Jack f*cking Johnson

I dislike American Football.

Twilight and Harry Potter. yuk.

I'm a dude so i don't particularly like pink frilly lace or cute pictures of puppys or Hello Kitty pencil erasers.

I put a lot of effort into my swaps so put a little effort into yours.
