About Me

Hihi!

I am a gernally happy, smiling person! easily amused and quick to laugh. i'm on SSI and unable to work. if you wanna know all the gory details, let me know. haha. i graduated in '07~ and not very keen on going to college any time soon. i'm still trying to mentally "recover" from 13 mandatory years of horror.

I live with my mom--and that's fine with me. i don't plan to move out any time soon for personal reasons. my mom and i are switched-by-the-soul as i always call it. we get along like twins, literally. we sound alike on the phone, and are able to near-instantly match our vocal tones. haha.

FYI: i live in a smoke-free home, but have a domestic long-haired cat. AND PLEASE NOTE that i live too far from mainstream stores to commute often! This means i'll need some extra time if i need to go buy something. @w ''

i like....

  • cute stationary items
  • FB, Slam,
  • STRONG flavor gum (think BlackBlack-type strong)
  • coffee
  • lychee, honey, peach, apple, strawberry, coconut
  • purple, green, and neon colors with black
  • candy that doesn't melt (lol)
  • learning about other countries (the language, traditions, holidays, school life, recent happenings, etc)
  • teas made from flowers (i already have chamomile and jasmine)

dislikes and other info

  • spearmint, cinnamon, or fruity gum
  • grape, acidic fruits/citrus
  • green tea, iced tea
  • CDs/DVDs, videogames
  • books(i have plenty)
  • apparel(clothes, hats, scarves, socks etc)
  • post-it memos
  • pens with blue ink, erasers, markers, wooden pencils
  • chips, sour candy, salty snacks, jelly beans
  • rilakkuma, thunder bunny, american cartoons, diddl,

I don't want earrings, neckchokers, or rings. no necklaces shorter than 22" (56cm), please.

I am EXTREMELY phobic of insects! i don't mind designs with pretty butterflies, ladybugs, fireflies, or cartoon-kawaii caterpillars/bumblebees. but OMG..NOTHING realisic-looking. and definitely NO spiders, beetles, or any creepy crawly things.

~~ just because i offer manga and shortstories/poems doesn't mean i want them in return! ~~ For most of the things on my wishlist, doesn't mean i can make/buy anything similar! ASK me first- i don't bite!

No craft supplies, please. >__< that means no fabrics, beads, yarn or scrapbook stuff.

Country-bumpkin theme stuff. just because i live in texas doesn't mean i like the place. T__T

NO DECOs.

Wishlist

Kawaii stationary - Letter Sets - Memos - Notebooks - mechanical pencils/pens

Gift vouchers from janetstore

i LOVE me some coffee! especially flavors that are local specialties.

local-bought shot glasses from everywhere~ that shows where it's from somewhere on the glass. i want them to be a souvenir of where you live!

colored pencil leads for 0.7mm mechanical pencils (purple, turquoise, sky blue)

for those fluent in languages other than English--i'd like it very much if you made a booklet of your alphabet (what they're called and pronunciation help) as well as basic sentence structure and maybe some funny popular phrases.

**felt/clay cupcakes*** (a pink/blue/vanilla theme, with strawberry and pastel yellow/blue/pink sprinkles clay pendant=automatic worship)

i'm on the lookout for size 10US flipflops that light up every time you step. any color!

Favorites

Kawaii-type letter sets (can be loose pages/envelopes if you like)

  • Sanrio Cinnomoroll, Pochacco, chococat, charmmy kitty, my melody
  • San-X jewelcat(both types), kutsuitanyanko
  • Q-lia cats, girls
  • Kamio Elephant, Sheep, Awawa
  • Crux girls
  • Miki (i don't know the company, just the character's name. help?)
  • Happy Go Lucky (Rabbit and Cat)
  • Cake/Cupcake/Doughnut/cherry blossom

What I have to offer

  • kawaii stationary!

  • magazines (fashion, teen-based, craft, texas travel, many others. just ask.),

  • kandi/rave bracelets

  • candy that won't melt in the mail.

The following english-language manga--- Loveless vol 6 Ouran Host Club vol 10 Fruits Basket vols 8, 9, and 17 Chobits vols 2-8)- i want to get rid of these, not trading for other manga!((i'm looking to swap these for items of equal value from my wishlist)).

-I can write short stories, poems etc.

STATUS

Becoming active again after a long hiatus from swapping. i won't go into detail but there was a lot of negative happenings in my life, and emotional issues atop those happenings.

i apologize to all those i've angered before i left, and am seeking ways to make it up to the ones that haven't received my part of a swap. (nods)

sent jessicakan's kawaii envie. need marcsgirl's address again...then gather all the goodies. then mail.

Comment: 1/17/10: Hello, I see that you have not been on since Dec 15, so while I normally PM my partners before rating a 1, I doubt you would see it in this situation. I hope that you will come back some day and make good on this swap. When you do, I will change this rating.....UPDATE 2/19/10: Thank you for sending and explaining the circumstances that you no longer have computer access. I will try to help you get the addresses for your other partners.

jessicakan on Dec 10, 2009:

hi.. got your comment. wouldnt it be terribly expensive to send insured and tracked? its up to you, but mail from usa usually reach me safely... so maybe no need to insure/ track :)

Stefanija on Sep 4, 2009:
