I'm 32 (almost 33!). I'm a geek. I'm 1/4 Japanese. I'm pagan. I'm a vegan. I have a lot of tattoos. I'm quirky. I like: collecting random stuff, music and movies and books, kitsch and zakka and some kawaii. I also enjoy crafting and thrifting. I wear: cat-eye glasses, cardigans, silly knee socks, mary janes-- basically, I look like a librarian.

I'm a Swap-bot newbie, but not new to swapping. I've been swapping on LJ for many years and run LJ's Geek Chic Swaps (which is now closed, but I'm just sayin').
