30's. Female. No kids. Not what you'd call a people person. I seem to be categorically incapable of drawing or cutting a straight line.

Good at failing to live up to my potential. Bad at self-presentation. Obviously.

2019 Update: I haven't been active on swapbot in a few years, but I'm thinking of dipping my toes in the water again. I've never been an uber-swapper who can take on 20 at a time, but I will always send what I sign up for.

I knit. I've gotten out of the habit lately, but I'm trying to get back into it. Someday I will actually crochet something and stop going through a vicious cycle of teaching myself how only to do nothing with it until I forget the skill again.

I've never gotten into paper crafts much, but I am mildly obsessed with bullet journaling. Mostly with a focus on function over form. I tend to be too lazy for extensive decoration beyond colorful pens, but occasionally I try to remember to slap in a sticker or some washi tape to brighten things up.

I used to do mixed CD swaps all the time on here before they were banned.

I don't make ATCs and I wouldn't know what to do with ones I receive unless they were specially made with me in mind, but for that, you'd probably have to know me better than swap-bot allows. In the end, however, I'll always appreciate anything that's clearly had a lot of thought and care put into it.

I sadly don't find time to explore new music as much these days as I'd like and what I do discover is in a pretty haphazard fashion.

A few favorites: Sylvan Esso, Badbadnotgood, The Decemberists, Notwist, Modest Mouse, Deerhoof, Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, The Unicorns, Neutral Milk Hotel, Rufus Wainwright

I'm open to a lot of stuff. The only thing I tend to outright shun is country music. No offense to those who enjoy it; the sound just has no appeal for me.

• Religious or Politically conservative items - You're better off staying away from the subjects altogether.
• Overly "cutesy" or sappy stuff - I do like cute things. Who doesn't? Like a real kitten is cute, but a drawing of a kitten with exaggerated big eyes and sparkles is too much for me. It can be a fine line but if you stay away from excessive use of pink and glitter you'll probably be okay.
• Bathroom humor - I don't judge. It's just not my thing.
• Presumption.
