I am am taking a break from Swap-Bot for a while. I am in the process of moving to a new state, and for the time being I am unable to find enough time to do swaps. I hope to get back to swapping soon.

My name is Violet and I'm 20 years old. I have lived in Appalachia for most of my life, but I dream of traveling the world. I love everything about language - writing and learning. I am studying Korean, and I hope to live in Korea one day. I am also interested in learning French, Spanish, and Japanese, along with as many others as possible.

Notes & letters - I love love LOVE reading letters and exchanging mail.. If you have me as a partner in a swap, feel free to write anything you want to me (including vents & rants), even if it doesn't fit the swap description.. And if you are interested in picking up a new pen pal, I am available! :)

Tea - I love green tea and chai, but I love trying new blends!

COFFEE!

Pens & markers

Stationary paper for writing to my penpals :)

Postcards - any design

Notebooks, journals & memo pads

Kawaii - Hello Kitty, Sentimental Circus, & Kutusita Nyanko are my favorites. I also really love most of the designs by Mind Wave - so quirky and cute! But I'm not picky :)

Stickers (sheets or flakes)

Wax seals

Books! I love YA/coming-of-age stories, dysfunctional family dramas, dystopian fantasy, and elements of romance. But I am open to read anything!

Logic puzzles, sudoku, crosswords, word searches... I love games that double as exercise for my brain :)

Recipes - I love to cook & try new foods *note: I am a pescatarian (DON'T eat pork, beef, or poultry; DO eat fish, eggs, and dairy) & have a gluten sensitivity (gluten-free recipes appreciated!)

Anything featuring Christian symbolism, text, or bible verses

Marshmallow anything... other than that I pretty much love all kinds of candy and sweets

Recipes featuring meat as a main ingredient (unless it can be easily substituted for a vegetable/seafood)

"Special occasion" cards - if you send me notecards or postcards, I would prefer that they have no words; just a simple design is fine.. No "Thank You" or "Congratulations" cards please.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Looking for Alaska - John Green (and everything else he has ever written), Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer, The House on Mango Street - Saundra Cisneros..

I also love poetry. My favorite poets are Robert Frost, E. E. Cummings, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and good old fashioned Shakespeare.
