Notice- I'm going to be in ENGLAND from Feb. 13 to Feb. 23, so I won't be able to answer my messages or check on swaps (though my roommate(s) should be taking the mail inside.)
I’m a 20-ish university student currently living in Ottawa, Canada. My Humanities major is giving me a chance to study everything from religion and philosophy to history and political science and everything in between, and I usually enjoy school (except during essay crunches and exams!) I’m very new to swapping, having only done a handful on other sites, but so far it’s been a lot of fun.
I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, drawing, and a wide variety of crafting projects, whenever I have the time.
Sorry if this section seems long, I hope it will be easy to read and navigate!
Themes - General categories of stuff I like.
- Ancient philosophy (Socrates and Dante especially)
- Goth-cute
- Elegant Gothic Aristocratic style
- Ghosts, skulls, vampires… most dead things, really.
- Zen/calm oriental
- Steampunk
- Geekery, especially language and videogame related (not so much math/science)
- Wings and things with wings (especially feathered and bat-like, less so butterfly wings)
- Cats
- Some kawaii- chococat's my favorite
TV, Book and Video - My various fandoms.
- Hellsing (especially Ultimate and the manga)
- Whitewolf’s Exalted RPG setting (Solar Eclipse caste especially)
- Sugar Sugar Rune
- Team Fortress 2 (Especially the Medic)
- Portal
- Rock Band
- Studio Ghibli- Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle (book or movie), Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Cat Returns, Naussica.
- Pokemon (Haunter and Pikachu in particular)
Colours, Flavours, Patterns, etc - My favorites
- Purple!
- Red
- Blue
- Black
- Pinstripes!
- Lavender (colour and scent)
- Orange (scent/flavour, not so much with the colour)
-Chocolate
Uses - Things I find particularly useful.
- Earrings and broaches (I don’t wear much other jewelery)
- Artisan soap
- Mechanical pencils and other sketching materials.
- Punk pins/buttons/badges/whatever you like to call them
- Beading/jewelery supplies
- Fabric, especially funky cotton prints in small quantities- scraps are great!
- Crazy, weird hats.
- Coffee and tea of all sorts
- Bento box supplies or western reusable lunch packing supplies.
- Nice yarn
- Snacks and candy are always useful!
Not that I’ve got anything against them, but there are some things that just wouldn’t be of use to me if I were to be sent them.
- Religious stuff- I do not identify with any faith, please don’t send me religious items.
- Country/cottage-y - cute to look at, but wouldn’t match my décor.
- Stickers and premade scrapbooking stuff - I don't scrapbook, and my ATCs consist mostly of hand-drawn elements.
- Strongly perfumed items that aren’t soap/candles/incense- my boyfriend has some perfume allergies, and he comes over a lot.
Fine art (usually with pencil, pens, watercolours, pencil crayons or digital media), beading, sewing (plushies of my own design, hats, cosplay and some clothing), prop design for cosplay purposes, ATCs. I've recently taken up bento box-ing too, though my creations are more practical than artistic thus far. And I think I'm starting to knit again.
Please let me know if you don't receive something, or if something's been damaged in shipping- I'm still learning the ropes of the postal system, so feedback on how I'm doing is appreciated, and I'm happy to resend!
I promise to rate as promptly as I can, and would greatly appreciate others doing the same for me.
