I love getting things in the mail, and I just wanted a reason to be excited about going to the mailbox again.

I'm a newly-wed 25-year-old female. No kids, no plans for them. I live in a small apartment with my husband and our cats.

Apparently I sometimes put the wrong screen name on things. If you get something from "sociallyawkward" or "thisxabovexall"... that's me. (On PostPunkKitchen and Postcrossing, respectively.) I realize this seems fishy, like I've been swapping (or flaking) under different screen names, but I assure you it's just absent-mindedness at its best.

My husband and I are vegetarian.
Please, no meaty-products, gelatin or animal fats. This applies to non-food items, too... No leather or wool, please.

Don't worry too much about sending recipes containing meat. I can always substitute ingredients on my own. :)

Colors and Theme: Lime green and tangerine, any bright colors. Citrus fruits. (Lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits.)

Favorite Flavors: vanilla, chocolate, lemon, rosemary, maple, cilantro, spicy, sweet

Wanted: recipes, cookie cutters, potholders, towels, an apron, tea, bento supplies, chocolate, decorating goodies

I'm just getting into bento, and don't have hardly any supplies. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

TV: Gilmore Girls, Heroes, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Degrassi
Video Games: Nintendo, Mario, Yoshi, Toad, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Kingdom Hearts, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon

For book and music interests, see my Good Reads and Last.fm profiles.

Colors and Theme: Cerulean blue, light creamsicle orange, anything bright. Duckies.

Wanted: Decorations, duckies, bath bombs, bath salts, candles, etc. (Lavender and vanilla are best, any herbal or foodie scent is great.)

Gardening: I have a small container garden on the balcony. There's not much to it at the moment, but I'm working on it. I plan to have a community garden plot next year.
Wanted: seeds, gnomes, faeries, planters, decorations, waterers

The Cats: The twelve-year-old, Max, is black and white cow-spotted, which has earned him such nicknames as "Moo Cat" and "Cow Kitty."

We now have another cat, Alfie, who is an orange medium-hair tabby. (Born May, 2009)

Both love handmade toys, catnip/cat grass, canned food, and Max has a bizarre fascination with lollipops.
Wanted: Toys! Handmade seem to hold up better to their destructive tendencies.

Favorite Animals: cats, leopards, ducks, manatees

Favorite Flowers/Plants: daisies, sunflowers, poppies, maple, lavender, sage

Favorite Stones: quartz, amethyst, carnelian, cactus/spirit quartz, garnet, aquamarine

Holidays/Occasions: I prefer seasonal/nature items to holiday-themed ones. (Snowflakes instead of Santa, pumpkins instead of witches.)

Politics/Religion: Liberal atheist. I don't know if that will ever be relevant, but there it is.

Collections:
* foreign coins
* squished pennies
* toys
* postcards
* religious pamphlets (Chick tracts)
* faery/fairy art - preferable not too cutesy
* crystals/stones

Favorite Swaps: penpals, postcards, recipes, pet/cat stuff, food-themed

I could always use swapping supplies like postcards, notecards, stationary and small stickers.

Stuff I Like: kawaii (especially food-related), fairies, Tinkerbell, Pooh, Lisa Frank, vintage, retro, animals, cats, ducks, fruit, sweets

Stuff I Don't Like: Mary Englebreit, angels, cars, boats
