Aseret25

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I work as a finance manager in a local healthcare system. Married, no pets, childless by choice.

I would love to receive postcards with

• owls-my favorite and will always be appreciated!
• anything blue or violet
• contemporary and abstract art
• kawaii, especially Totoro, Studio Ghibli, and anything sushi related
• lady bugs
• birds
• nature, especially forests, bodies of water, & mountains
• red wine
• popcorn
• coffee or tea cups
• something representing your hometown

I would love to receive handmade cards, as long as some creative effort that went into making them. I would love for you to share your creations with me!

I would prefer not to receive

• religious themes
• creepy or spooky themes
• political or military themes
• anything scented or smelling of smoke

I'm mostly here to swap postcards. :) It will be rare for me to join a swap for "stuff," so I haven't listed any preferences for that.

My favorite musicians include Amanda Palmer, the Dresden Dolls, Mike Doughty, and the Barenaked Ladies.

One of my favorite songs is “Rain King” by the Counting Crows. It makes me happy every time I hear it!

I don’t watch anything regularly any more, but when they were on the air, I was a huge fan of Ally McBeal, Lost, Scrubs, Parks & Recreation, and House.

During the summer, we watch Reds baseball games. We also frequently watch Jeopardy.

I love all of Justin Cronin’s books. The Passage trilogy is amazing, and his other 2 books are beautiful as well.

Emily St. John Mandel is also a wonderful author. In particular, I recommend Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel.

The “Griffin & Sabine” series by Nick Bantock is intriguing, both visually and story-wise.

I love abstract mixed media! I like to use acrylic or craft paint, cheap oil pastels, watercolor crayons, paint pens, and gel pens. I also like to put together collages with handpainted papers and cutouts from magazines.
