***** Notice: I got blind-sided with the flu and spent several days bed bound - in and out of consciousness - recovering from it. Consequentually I'm uberly behind on several swaps which I plan to start catching up on today and hope to have them all finished and sent out before Saturday when the post closes. Please forgive my failure to send on time and have a little patience with me. As for the Poetry Day swap I was hosting I'll figure out how to handle that ASAP and contact those who were involved to get it all sorted and settled. I am very sorry to everyone affected by this and hope to have it all cleared up before the end of this weekend. Feel free to message me if you have specific questions/responses." Thanks for your consideration -- Alyss

Hello,

My name is Alyss and I love receiving and sending mail. Ergo my penchant for swapping. I'm also horrible at writing about me stuff for profiles. So instead I've looked around at other's profiles on here and pilfered things I found nifty to add to mine. *** Please remember imitation is a form of flattery and don't be offended if you find a profile section you pioneered here***

Things I enjoy:

listening to music/ reading/ chocolate/ traveling or daydreaming about traveling or writing out elaborate itineraries for the places I'd like to travel/ watching scary movies/ playing facebook games (in fact I'm quite addicted to them)/ baked goods (another addiction)/ dancing in my head/ writing/ having written/ making new e-friends/ singing (albeit horribly)

Licorice

• Learn how to put cute little pictures on my swap-bot profile like other have

• Increase my eco-friendliness in my everyday lifestyle (i.e. use fewer resources, cause less environmental damage)

• Finish my Master's degree and work a little while before starting on a PhD or decide I've had enough with academia

• Try ATC making. Although I have to admit I've never been a visual artist and the concept really intimidates me. I've seen so many really amazing ones around the web and would love to get into swapping them eventually

• Start an Etsy store that focuses on Upcycled items.

• Marry Leonardo DiCaprio (even if only in a dream)
