Edit 4/30/21: I am going to be taking a break off of swap-bot for a while to focus on school and summer classes. I've sent out all my swaps and rated all the ones I have received, if you're missing anything from me please message me and I'll reply as soon as possible. Thank you!

Hi there. I am Starr, or Moon. I go by Moon online sometimes.

I am a girl-creature from Arkansas, USA. Most likely fungal in nature.

I am nearly 50/50 INFP and INTP. I am LGBT. I'm an Aquarius sun, but I think astrology is more fun than real.

I am completely new and trying to get into the swing of things on swap-bot. I have been desiring written forms of mail along with postcards etc. After looking for penpals, I thought swap-bot sounded fun.

I am also using writing letters to practice my poor handwriting. Apologies in advance.

I am broke, at the moment. My swaps most likely won't be beautiful or artistically interesting. I look for supplies at the dollar store. I like art, but I am not very talented and I'm very private about my own artistic creations. I won't be joining expensive or crafty swaps. I mostly like postcards or letter swaps. I also like email swaps.

I am a full time college student and also work a part time job. Lately, I've been a little busy. I'm also very forgetful and absent-minded. I will not let that stop me from getting swaps out on time, of course. But there will likely be periods of time where I will not be joining any swaps or logging on.

Here are some things I like:

• Art
• Nature / gardens / flowers
• Folklore / superstitions / old-timey folk things
• Toads (not frogs)
• Cemeteries
• Abandoned things
• Mushrooms
• Architecture (I like brutalism especially)
• Traditional witchcraft (although I don't consider myself a witch) / herbalism
• History
• Music
• Philosophy
• Space
• Summertime (my favorite season)
• Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (my favorite video game)
• Cartoons / animation / comics / anime
• Clowns (cute little clowns, pierrots and jesters! like this little mischievous guy)
• Hearing you rant about an interest near and dear to your heart, even if I don't have an interest in it (I love it! it's how I bond)
• Weather and clouds (my favorite is cumulo & cumulonimbus)

I'm really not that picky, honestly. :) I like it when swaps reflect on the sender. Send me what you like.

I do not like glitter. I don't use or like makeup. I don't really care for neon colors.

I am a nonreligious atheist, however, within reason, I actually don't mind Christian or religious items. In fact, I enjoy hearing peoples' theological opinions or thoughts. As long as you aren't attempting to convert me or look down on me, I have nothing against you or your beliefs.

Aside from the obvious, there is nothing innocuous you could send me that would offend me or ruin my day. I simply ask that you don't send me anything expensive or that you wouldn't mind being thrown away eventually. I prefer not to hoard and anything I receive will likely be disposed of after a while, with the exception of items I can use, such as stationery, etc. At the current time I will not join any intensive crafting swaps or groups partially for that reason, I understand how heartbreaking that could be.

Of course, if it's very special, I might keep it too. :) But I can make no promises, and I probably won't keep anything over a year.

It should be said that while everything I receive may be thrown out eventually, that does not mean I do not cherish nor enjoy the swaps I get any less than anyone else. I do appreciate what is given to me. I hope that reading that does not discourage anyone who is partnered with me; I simply have a more minimalist approach to letters, writing, and hobbies. I also have severe ADHD, and little room for organization at the moment, and any clutter I have in my house, good or bad, will effect me mentally. Thank you for understanding.
