About Me

*** (Oct. 2, 2012: I have been out of the swing of things here on Swap-Bot and have been inactive for a while. The reason for this absence is due to 2 moves and starting college. I plan to get back into things very soon.) ***

I live in a small town in Indiana and someday I hope to be able to travel around the world.

I love animals, nature, reading, writing, swapping, and music! My favorite colors are blue, green, and purple.

I collect postcards, paper currency and coins, tea, incense, dreamcatchers, and a whole lotta other stuff!

What I Am: Random, Fangirl, Geek, Liberal, Feminist, Pagan, Polyamorous, Kinky, Pansexual

NOTE: I live in a household with 3 cats so if you're allergic let me know so I can quarantine your items! Same thing if incense smoke bothers you!

My thoughts on POSTCARDS

SPECIAL REQUESTS: Orcas (for my mom), Snails (for my friend)

I do not wish to receive any type of ad, free, homemade, erotic, XXX, or offensive postcard! Thanks!

I love every single postcard that I receive, regardless of the kind or whether it was mailed with or without an envelope. :)

My thoughts on OTHER ITEMS

OTHER ITEMS FOR ME: Paper Currency and/or Coins (make sure to check with me first to see what I already have); Tea (I am an avid tea collector and trader so any type/variety is great. I’m okay with both bagged and loose-leaf teas); Coffee/Cappuccino/Hot Cocoa (especially different flavors or seasonal items); Candies/Sweets (I’m always interested in trying new types of candy, especially from different countries. I’d love to try Stroopwafels, Maple Candy, and different flavored Kit Kat); Incense (I collect different scents and burn it quite frequently); Dreamcatchers (Just another thing I happen to collect. I've been collecting them since I was a kid.); Supernatural (TV Show) merchandise; Pokemon merchandise

SPECIAL REQUESTS: Monster High merchandise or Sherlock (BBC) merchandise (for my friend)

Dislikes / Allergies

DISLIKES: Hypocrisy, Homophobia/Biphobia/Transphobia, Republican/Conservative Themed Political Items, Evangelical/Christian Themed Items, Spicy or Sour Foods, Clowns, Spiders, Bugs

ALLERGIES: Chamomile, Ragweed, Pollen

OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS: Migraines (may sometimes be triggered by heavy perfume/cologne and cigarette smoke); Asthma (also, may be triggered by heavy perfume/cologne and cigarette smoke) -- I would strongly prefer to receive items from non-smoking households. This is not set in stone but it is a strong preference. [Note: Incense smoke does not seem to bother me, so if you're only worried about incense smoke, you're fine.] Also, go easy on the perfume/cologne around any items you plan to ship to me. Most of the time perfumes don't bother me but when items (or people) smell like they've bathed in perfume it can trigger migraines and asthma attacks.

Hi, Alyssa;

You contacted me on Dec 3 about resending for the Halloween Pen Pals swap. Have you resent yet?

I hope you are well.
