I am a recent college graduate, living in a super cute studio in downtown Lincoln, NE. I walk to work, bike when the weather is good, and shop locally as much as possible. During the week, I teach English to adults and on the weekend, I tend bar at the country-est ballroom in the midwest.

I'm updating my profile after being away from SwapBot for about a year and a half - lots of change! I am no longer a vegetarian; I have been learning to cook meat and I love it!

Sleep, music, decorating my apartment, coffee, learning to cook new things, hanging out with my friends, delicious alcoholic beverages :)

Here's my confession: I'm not a crafty person. I've never had the knack to create tangible objects that are aesthetically pleasing. I promise to avoid crafty swaps that are beyond my scope and abilities. :)

I would love to receive postcards, especially ones with quotes or portraits. I like notebook and writing materials. My favorite colors are blue and green. I'm a hippie at heart, and I love tye dye, earthy things, and birkenstocks! :)

Two of my favorite foods are bananas and peanut butter. I like herbal teas and dried fruit.

My decorating style is a hodge-podge of artwork handed down to me by my family, but my favorite stuff is African themed. I like mohawks and tattoos, piercings and such, though I would never wear them myself. The more unique, oddball, or random an object, the better!
