Profile a Work in Progress

Hello, I'm new here. I'm not familiar with the terms or customs here yet, but excited to swap postcards. Scroll below for information about me.

If you don't receive something, let me know. I usually mark items as sent when they are in my mailbox, but there may be a short delay before they are postmarked. I have started to mail things and register things mostly on Fridays.

I'm here to have fun! If I can't send something out on time, I will try to let you know and give the same grace to someone else who also lets me know.

It's not sustainable for me to be constantly on here; I have real life problems. We will probably not get along if you think me taking breaks from the site is an issue and needs to be explained for.

I will be okay with whatever postcard you choose for me, but if you want ideas here are some in no particular order:

• Postcrossing Meetup

• Watercolors

• Anything related to my hobbies and interests

• Cards that have gold/silver foil (basically shiny, but no glitter)

• Favorite colors: Blue, particularly the middle and darker shades, but I like all blues; Purple (darker shades), and grey

Please do not send: - Drink powders (hot chocolate is an exception) - Loose decorated scraps of paper used for scrapbooking or junk journaling

I write about things going on in my life, thoughts, and feelings, ranging from casual to serious. If I write something serious/personal in my card/letter to you, and you want to react to it, I kindly ask you do not post about it publicly on my profile but instead respond privately (via message or snail mail).

Hobbies and Interests: writing (fiction, both original and fanfiction of a variety of genres), learning languages (Japanese, German, Hindi*), sudoku, astrology, tarot, lexicography, linguistics, math, engineering, research, stationery, video games (roguelikes, strategy, RPG, visual novels and otome games), escape rooms, guinea pigs, and dogs

Languages I know to any degree: English, Hindi, German, Japanese, Spanish (I took this in high school and am no longer studying, but still remember pieces of)

*If you know any declining or endangered languages (basically any language that has a small amount of speakers) I would love to learn about it in your card.

I roam between postcards, Tarot cards, and Vedic astrology stars. The Vedic bits are part of my Indian culture.

I used to enjoy reading but have been dealing with burnout for a long time.

Random fact: I collect keychains, particularly a subset of my collection are souvenir ones that swivel about an axis.

Favorite TV Shows: Parks and Recreation, Psych

Other Shows I've enjoyed: Young Sheldon, Sherlock (BBC), Fairly Legal, Leverage, Umbrella Academy, Big Bang Theory. If you have recommendations I am all ears.

I am open to penpals.
