I'm off for a while...

Hello, partners! First of all, you have to know that I live in BRAZIL. This is very important because is for that reason that my envies usually takes more time to get to their destination than what you are used to. I DO send all swaps - no exceptions - but sometimes the post offices looses it, as happened during last christmas season, where i had to re-send a lot of swaps. Please, keep in mind that if you do not receive anything within a month, I WILL RE-SEND it. I give much importance by keeping my rating by 5 (or as higher as possible), because i am aware that my envies takes much more time than normal with postage from and to Brazil, and i wouldnt want to become the kind of user that flakes and uses that excuse to send stuff later.

Well, about me: I´m 28, not married AND waiting for my beautiful and big dimond ring (LOL). I´m a swapper for a loooong time (even with this looong pause from swap-bot), and I´m bringing a lot of friends to this website!
I work with translation. I´ve always been so curious about languages, and now I´m learning words that I never imagined that existed even in portuguese! I work with english/brazilian portuguese, but intend to learn italian and am studying deutsch...Let´s see how it goes. I have a Communication Degree, and worked as a journalist for a year. I graduated in 2009, so I think I´m pretty good when it comes to work - had no problems so far finding one, thank God.
I live with my mother, my seven cats and a dog. I love animals, life, music, I´m really easy-going and hardly get upset. I´m anxious, melancholic, asthmatic and have a lot of allergies, but enviromental ones (weather changes, dust, strong smells, etc).

Black, pink, blue, red, white, green.

I LOVE: Bows, crowns, cats and cherries. Anything with these themes will make me smile.

Monokuro Boo, Hello Kitty, Chococat, My Melody, cute animals and sketches, cats, stars, hearts, rainbows... Anything with cherries, fruits, cupcakes, abstract forms and specially CATS! I´m looking for a cute bento box, hair accessories and pens/notebooks! Oh, and JELLY BEANS! lol

Small boxes/cans, stickers, post-its

Bags and ecobags, earrings (medium/big ones, but any size is welcome), necklaces, belly button piercings (not acrilic, only 316L!), beads for handmade jewelry, hairpin or anything related, cute socks, cute pens, small notebooks, cute pads, and more...

Make Up: eyeshadows/blushes, parfums (small samples), fake eyelashes, Victoria´s Secret Lipglosses and make up...I REALLY love make up!!

I love Archie McPhee, ThinkGeek and Perpetual Kid ....I really like creative and geek stuff!

I do play World of Warcraft, so if you have anything related, bring it on! ;P

I´m always looking for private swaps when it comes to: CHOCOLATE, PROFILE SURPRISE, and MAKE UP!!

I´m a weird person when its about music. My favourites: 30 Seconds to Mars, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Courtney Love, Scarling, Jack Off Jill, Pantera, Los Hermanos (Brazil), Marisa Monte (Brazil), Frejat (Brazil), Alterbridge, Katy Perry, Jet, Jonny Lives!, Audioslave, Avril Lavigne, Soundgarden, Bush, Cassia Eller (Brazil), Celldweller, Deftones, Distillers, Garbage, Godsmack, Gram (Brazil), Janis Joplin, Juliette & the Licks, Kittie, Marilyn Manson, Papa Roach, Paramore, Parlor Mob, Pin, Portish Head, Prodigy, Regina Spektor, Skid Row, Slipknot, Stone Sour, The Donnas, The Drive, The Libertines, Tilt, White Stripes, Whitesnake, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

PLUS: American Idol! Daughtry, Kat McPhee, etc

DISLIKE: kitchen stuff, coffee, High School Musical/Harry Potter/Hannah Montana (and similars), rings, anything brown...

I do give hearts to a lot of people. If you send me a postcard, why not heart it? It only depends on what you wrote for me and how much effort and love you sent with it! ;p

Sometimes i pass a few days over deadline, but only for specific reasons (usually i can't stop by a mail post office, or anything like that). But mostly i email and let people know.

And sometimes i do send somethings that i wish it could be better, specially for not knowing how to interpret the partner´s wishes. I am always trying to do my best, but i don't know if it's cute enough, or good enough. So, if it´s not good, please let me know! I'll re-send it with no problem. I just need to know! ;P

I also send, when it comes to random envies, a really random envie! When it´s to more than one partner, i put the same thing on them, so please, don´t hate me if i sent something you don´t like or use - i send the same thing for all partners, and try to match as best as possible all profiles, but it´s not always easy or possible.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MAIL TO AND FROM BRAZIL USUALLY TAKES 14-21 DAYS, SO PLEASE CONTACT IF IT TAKES LONGER AND BEFORE GIVING A BAD RATE!! THANKS

I´ll rate a 3 only if it takes more than 2 months after deadline - as it takes longer sometimes with some swaps.One´s are only if i get nothing at all within 2 months.

Never received anything and did not rated one (was still waiting for the package and the swap closed, so I cannot rate 1 anymore):

• 20 profiles surprises (http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/68522) - never got anything from @mejulia Julia Wright, @BarkleysMommy Anne Parham, @Craftymum Clara Dawe, @amdewitt Angela DeWitt and @Carolinev237 Caroline Venables.

• International Big Fat Stuffed Envelope Swap #5 (http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/68022), never got anything from @DianaCowgirl Diana Sarver

I´ll be updating this list to make easier when it comes to extras. I know that a lot of swappers like to send a few things more, so this wishlist will help.
In almost all my swaps i take a look at my partner´s profile to send something extra, or i send it based on what the swap is about. But i think it would be easier if everyone had a list of everything they are in need.
I have some problems finding a few things over here (Brazil), so i´ll make a list and update it as i remember anyhting! :)
This is not in a specifi order - all items below are welcome!

• Any kind of chocolate - except dark! I love Cadbury - Galaxy, Milky, any kind - , M&Ms, Lindt, and am open to different brands! :) Can be with any nuts, fruits, cookies...Bring it on!
• LEGO pieces! Any kind, size, quantity, well...I just love it!!
• I love getting edibles in my mailbox! Specially Jelly Belly!
• I like make-up and personal care - lotions, glosses, eye shadows, hair products...I love Victoria's Secrets, but it's expensive here so...I only get what people send me!
• I love tea, but do NOT like black or Ilex paraguariensis (it's called matte over here). I only love fruity/floral ones - mango, cherry, hibiscus, pear, orange, lime, and so on.
• Cute pens! All kinds, all colors, all shapes
• Cute envelopes
• I'm looking for a cute bento-box!
• I love games related items. I play World of Warcraft, and have a Wii and a Playstation 2, and also my computer. Thinkgeek.com is one of my favourites, because it's as geek as I am!
• Cute socks
• Books - I like thrillers, romance....I'm now reading Marian Keyes (Anybody out there) and am looking for James Patterson's Women's Murder Club books (I only read the first).
• Anything Video Games Live related - cds, shirts, dvds, keychain...
• I have a Playstation 2 and a Nintendo Wii, and will get a xBox 360 really soon, so if you have a game you don't play anymore or want to send me a profile surprise, you can send me a game for any of these consoles! I don't mind if it's used, as long as it plays well!
• A cute bento box!
• Anything with cherries (coin purses, scarf, necklace, earrings, notebooks, pens, anything!)
• Books!
• I love nerd/geek stuff like HotTopic, ThinkGeek and simmilars!
• Nail polishes, nail decoration and anything related!
• Address labels!

Always make me happy: pens, chocolate, cherries and tea!

And, if you have a Crop-a-dile to send to a friend, pleeeeeeeease remember me! I cant find it here, and when i do, i cant afford it!
