Hello! I'm Jessica, 42 years old, & living in California, USA. I'm a witchy goth crazy cat lady who is beyond introverted. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Favorite Colors: black, dark grey, teal (the darker the better), & purple (the darker the better)

Yes, I am pagan. No, that doesn't mean I want to change that fact.

Please don't send me religious items.

I would love to have you as a pen pal!

• If I contact you outside a swap to be pen pals I will write first, as I asked you to take the time out of your day first.
• If you contact me first, I expect you to write the first letter.
• I only do snail mail letters.
• Write something in your letter that I can respond to in my return letter.
• I do not mind your religion or political beliefs. With that being said I will not argue about them with you either or have a discussion about them in letters unless they directly effect one or both of us.
• International is welcome.
• More then likely, I will type my letters. I have RA & most times it is hard to hand write anything.

I swap decos, fb/fs, and handmade postcards.

decos: I am getting back into deco swapping. -If you have one of mine message me & I will give you my current address. -I do art type decos. I'll take any kind to swap so no worries. I just no longer tape stuff on pages. -If you have a homer in the USA you want to send me with a swap - please do so. I'll get it home.

friendship books & sheets
I will swap any amount. Currently I usually have to send new ones (ones I make). I am trying to build up a stash so I can send mainly established ones.

Handmade Postcards I only swap handmade postcards that are written one. They can be sent anyway that is preferable for you. I do NOT swap naked ones.

If I am not online for a few days, a few weeks it is more then likely due to my Lupus and/or Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both are 'uncontrolled'. One minute I can be fine, the next I feel like I am going to die or my hands/arms refuse to work.

As you see I am an 'Original Member' & most my swaps are form 8 or so years ago. I seemed to drop off the face of the planet here, on flickr, & yahoo groups. There was multiple reasons for this.

• I was dying. It was lucky I found a doctor who believed women had a right to their body & fought to save me.
• Family dynamics changed drastically & sent me into a severe depression.
• I discovered Raverly swaps, which didn't last long.
• I started designing & publishing my own crochet patterns.

Some of you know my Mom - Jo - from yahoo groups. If you doubt me about any of this & want proof, I suppose you could ask her. However I don't think she would be thrilled she had to bring some of it up.
