I really enjoy fantasy/paranormal fiction, but not that Twilight rubbish :P

Lots of none fiction - Pagan and Wiccan spirituality, gender and sexuality studies, social science, feminist classics, music, politics, animal rights and cookery.

I love reading about music - band biographies, tour diaries etc. I'm particularly interested in books relating to the original hardcore scene.

Favorite Crafts

I'm a beginner knitter and I have plans to learn to crochet, I absolutely love embroidery! I am especially fond of patterns in the same vein as sublime stitching. I've recently decided to try my hand at art journalling and I sometimes make jewellery too.

I'm also trying to find my "arty" side again! I did an A level in art and design quite some time ago and haven't really attempted to draw or paint since then. I really want to get back into this as I find it very relaxing and therapeutic. My plan is to start by keeping a sketchbook and see how it goes from there.......

Favorite Television

Firefly, buffy, the wire, dawson's creek, saved by the bell, true blood, time team, nypd blue, lie to me, criminal minds, celebrity juice, spaced, black books, green wing, peep show, CSI, Boardwalk Empire,

Random stuff I like

Colours - teal, mustard yellow, purple and pink.

Scents - vanilla, clove, anything foody scented, incense, resin,sandalwood, cucumber and melon, masculine or unisex scents, rose, dirt, christmassy scents.

Bath and body items - body butters or lotions, bubble bath, shower gel, perfume oil, dry oil spray, B+BW pocket bacs (I am completely obsessed with these!).

Food/drink - white chocolate, chai, iced tea, reese's, oreos, fruit and herbal teas......... I am vegetarian (hoping to transition to vegan over the next few months) so any food needs to be veggie friendly :)

Crafty supplies - embroidery floss, embroidery hoops, faux bois paper or fabric, watercolour pencils, notebooks and sketchbooks, gel pens, sharpies, yarn, drawing pens, markers, pastels, crayons

Accessories and jewellery - earrings (my ears are pierced), clip in hair bows, alice bands, fascinators, bag charms, knitted hats, mittens, ear muffs, adjustable rings (I have chubby fingers), brooches.

Other bits and bobs - lomography and vintage cameras, my kindle, cooking hearty vegetarian food.

Dislikes

I respectfully request that you do not send my any material related to dieting, or that shames bodies of ANY kind.

I am a strict vegetarian so please note that I do not eat sweets containing gelatine or wear anything leather.

I don't like mint flavoured drinks or candy.

I prefer to drink caffeine free beverages as much as possible.

Spirituality

I am very interested in Wicca, Paganism and Druidism.

I will always appreciate any items relating to these areas of interest such as books, candles, crystals, incense etc.

About Me

My name is Jessica and I live in the UK

I have always enjoyed snail mail letters and swapping packages and that is what led me to swap-bot.

My interests are varied and quite wide ranging!

I am a high femme "girly" girl and I love make-up, perfume and bath and body products.

I'm a staunch feminist and although I am more of an armchair activist these days due to health problems, I feel very passionately about improving the rights of women and girls across the world.

Although I do not consider myself a goth, I am very much drawn to the darker aspects of life. I enjoy horror films, ghost stories and anything with a dark, nightmarish aesthetic. I love reading up on true stories of paranormal goings on and in recent years I have become utterly obsessed with Halloween! I am also interested in dark folklore and myth and legend.

I can be quite geeky and I love anything Joss Whedon (except for The cabin in the woods, which I thought was absolute rubbish) especially Firefly and Buffy. I'm a LOTR geek and I am eagerly anticipating the release of The Hobbit.

Could you let me know whether you received the Christmas card for "Wishing you a swap-bot Christmas (UK edition)" swap. Thanks

Itti on Dec 2, 2011:

Hi, just wondering if you received my Christmas card for the "Wishing you a swap-bot Christmas (UK edition)" swap. I sent it nearly 3 weeks ago and even second class is only meant to take a few days. I haven't heard from you - did it arrive? Cheers. Itti
