About Me

Everything imaginable encompasses myself and my views that change day by day. The word 'change' is quite fear based for most, but for me it means a release. Change is the one thing you can always count on. The magnificence of it is mind blowing. My logic and intuition meld to become my guide; my one of many teachers. I have a passion for learning that cannot be brought down; it envelops my soul. If you want to tell me something, do it. Neither judgment nor arrogance shall be uttered from my lips or pen.

Favorite Music

I like anything that has passion to it, you need to feel it. Ani DiFranco, Led Zeppelin, Ween, Lee Scratch Perry, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, Van Morrison, Atmosphere, Classified, Sweatshop Union, Radiohead, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Jamiroquai, Vivaldi, The Kings, Gogol Bordello, The Mills Brothers, Dean Martin, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Neil Young, Buddy Guy, Buddy Holly, Talking Heads, Devo, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Beatles, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, The Books, 13th Floor Elevators, Timber Timbre

Favorite Books

Suggestions?

I love tea, coffee and anything else that resembles them. Pressed flowers or leaves Pens....Why do these just disappear so quickly? Bits of yarn and 'junk' like that. Also random fabric scraps that I can turn into crocheted rag slippers! Pictures of random things that no one can quite make out. Old postcards, old photos or random things found on the street. Any size, shape or quality paper. Any art that is made by you!

Maybe not? I'm not really a fan of cutesy stickers or anything to do with celebrities. Food related: Let's just say I'm vegan to make it easy. Also, please nothing Disney related. I never watched them as a kid, and I haven't enjoyed one I've seen since. I think its a memory thing for most, but not for me.

Comment: This was kind of disappointing...though i waffled between a 3 and 5 decided on 5 simply because the swap stated a "suggested" letter length between 2-4 pages...if it had required it i would have rated you a 3. You wrote less than a page and told me very little about yourself since you don't like to write about yourself, but that is what letters are about, writing!! I found it a bit preachy though, telling me what to do for Peace Day, telling me to watch a movie i may or may not be interested in, and your clipped articles weren't really wanted though i appreciate you were making an effort. The tea was delicious though and i thank you for that!
Response: I am sorry that my letter did not live up to the expectations. I thought that letters may encompass many different mediums, including writing. I am sorry that you felt that you were being 'preached' at, I never meant it that way. I am very passionate about those things; I thought that you may be a person who would be interested, but I never meant it as something you had to do. This being my first swap, I went to your profile to send you some things you would like, like the robot article and the zentangle. I wasn't aware that this is not the norm on this site. Thank you for your comments. They are all duly noted and will help me grow within this site.

Comment: Thank you - I'm guessing it was this swap because there was no name/swap name/ user name details... I loved the two photos and the art work you sent - that was beautiful. And what you wrote was stunning. :-)
Response: Your welcome, I'm glad you liked it. And thank you for the compliment; always nice to hear those. I didn't know that you had to put the swap name and your name on the letter, I will definitely do that next time.

RE : your rating -

Always put a note in with the name of the swap and your username. You may not get rated or even thanked otherwise. People take part in a lot of similar swaps with multiple partners, and may not be able to distinguish who has sent them what. You may even get a bad rating if they don't know something's from you. They may think you've not sent anything. Don't worry, swapbot is confusing at first, but once you work it all out it's well worth it. Please feel free to PM me with any questions. x
