Hi everyone! My name is Allie, I'm 30 and live on Long Island, NY. I am an avid gamer, tea drinker, animal lover, collector of kawaii, shopaholic, and student of Japanese. I like to sing, write, cook, shop, and go to the dog park. I hope to make some good friends on here and get some fantastic swaps together! :)

I was married in September 2013 and live with the best hubby ever and our 10 pound maltipoo, Daisy. We're expecting our first baby (a girl) in February 2017!

In English: The Script, Phoenix, The Temper Trap, top 40s, alternative.

In Japanese: Hikaru Utada, BoA, Chemistry, m-flo, Heartsdales, Crystal Kay, Namie Amuro.

I also play Japanese taiko drums!

A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones), The Hunger Games, and anything by Gena Showalter! I'm a huge paranormal romance fan. The Mortal Instruments/The Infernal Devices. The Demonica series by Larissa Ione. :D

Almost any Pixar, Disney or Dreamworks movie!

Smash, World of Jenks, Catfish, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, Game of Thrones, Revenge (no spoilers, just watching the first season now!), Sailor Moon, Sword Art Online, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura

Drawing, paper crafts, collage, Sculpy. Right now I'm super into ATCs and cardmaking.

Anything Japanese (or Asian), ATC backgrounds and embellishments, paper, die cuts, stickers, stamps from outside the US, Sailor Moon stuff, kawaii (particularly mini memo sheets), ads or magazine cutouts in other languages, ephemera, and manga pages.

Tea Preferences: I like tea of any kind except for berry flavored teas... they taste too bitter to me. I'm especially partial to green and oolong.

Religious items, book pages (unless they're out of the ordinary or have illustrations) or snacks.

I love RPGs, rhythm, puzzle and platformer/action games.

My absolute favorite games of all time are Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age Inquisition, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2. I also love the Legend of Zelda series (especially Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past), Super Smash Brothers Melee, Destiny, Kingdom Hearts, Tearaway (paper craft theme!), Diablo III, World of Warcraft, and many more :)
