1. Goth/skater/punk chick. Short hair, glasses. Tattoos and piercings.

I work a dead end job at a gas station. Love it tho.

I live in a small town in New England called Canaan. We have like 3,000 residents. Very tiny.

I play guitar, build computers, knit, penpal and cook. I'm really just a mess. A jack of all trades but master of none kinda thing.

I'm heavy into kPop right now. Big Bang in particular. I also love Biffy Clyro (Scottish rock band).

Green Day and the Beatles are my all time fave bands.

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Myst, Abhorsen series, Angels and Demons, The DaVinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inkheart, The Percy Jackson Series, Artemis Fowl, Dolores Claiborne, Thinner, Congo, Sphere, Jurrasic Park

I'm a knitter. I LOVE knitting. I knit anything and everything.

I can crochet. I mostly do thread crochet like doilies.

I'm getting into paper crafts. This site is really inspiring me.

I'm new to swapping. I also don't get to "town" often so my swaps are carefully chosen so I'll have time to get stuff.

I do FB's and LB's. Sticker bags, slams and decos are new to me. Don't get many of those.

I have a good selection of piggy banks. They don't have to be pigs. Anything that holds coins makes it into my collection.

I am now addicted to matchboxes. I just did my first matchbox swap and I am in love. I'll have a collection of those going in no time.

There isn't any particular thing I don't like. I don't want over 1/2 used or dirty things. Nothing broken. I like my swap items to be "like new".

I don't wear a lot of makeup, so I don't think I'd like to get makeup.

So, purple and green top the list. But any cool color combination will work. Purple and Black, hot pink and neon green. Anything bright and contrasting makes me happy.

As for solid colors, I really like jewel tones. Rich blues and pinks and purples.
