Note on Shipping: I am new to shipping mail internationally, if you do not receive your mail please let me know and I will send it again and figure out what went wrong! For USA mail - it seems to take on average 10-14 days for my more involved letters to get to where they are going. Anything more than just two or three pages in an undecorated envelope will take significantly longer. Thank you for understanding!
~+++~ Hello! I'm very new to Swap-Bot. I love sending snail mail and decorating letters. I have so many different sides to my personality and things that interest me. I live on both sides of light and dark: I love soft, cute, and pretty things and I love scary, gross, and weird things. My favorite color is black, but my hair is champagne pink. You can find this duality anywhere in my life, from the food/music/movies I consume, to the art that I make and the things I collect. I like to think I can find something I like anywhere.
Currently I am studying and practicing ceramic pottery and learning Japanese on Duolingo. I adore Japanese pottery and it is my current obsession. I am also a self taught silversmith (jewelry), have a bachelors in Horticulture, and spent 4 years learning from and working under a French pâtissier making pastries.
~+++~ I can't wait to get to swapping!! =^_^=
~+++~ I love music and listen to it all day. I truly listen to all music, and love to listen to something new. I can find something I like in any genera. I particularly like it when trying to find an artist I like in a genera I don't like.
Favorite Genres: EDM, doom metal, 80's goth, classical, drum and bass
Least Favorite: bluegrass, new country, classic rock, jam band
Bands I could listen to every day: Cocteau Twins, Dead can Dance, the Cure, Gojira, Pallbearer, Tesseract, Bjork, Gorillaz, Massive Attack
~+++~I just got back into reading for fun after a long time! I will read just about anything in any genera, but definitely gravitate towards fantasy. While I definitely mostly read newer romance novels, I will also throw anything into the mix and recently finished reading Killers of the Flower Moon. I try to keep up with all the trending books as well!
Favorite Genera: fantasy, mystery, horror/thriller, romance (no spice level is too high), graphic novels/manga
Favorite Books and Authors: No Country for Old Men and anything by Cormac McCarthy, Divine Rivals (Rebecca Ross), Ray Bradburry (Martian Chronicles), Berserk (Kentaro Miura)
~+++~I enjoy a wide variety of movies, but here are some films I could watch over and over: Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, The Cell, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Knight's Tale, The Labyrinth, The Departed, Seven, Pulp Fiction, Snatch, Fight Club...mostly action and thriller. BUT I also love all of the studio Ghibli films, particularly Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Kiki's Deliver Service, and Princess Mononoke.
Dislikes: I was never a huge fan of disney movies, even as a kid, and have not revisited them as an adult. I don't really like cringe humor or rom-coms.
~+++~I am not a big TV watcher but like some mystery/thriller and anime shows!
True Detective, Hannibal, X-Files, and Bob's Burgers are some favorite American shows
For anime I am currently watching Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw man, Spy x Family, and Hell's Paradise. Past favorites have been: Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost in the Shell, and Neon Genesis Evangelion
~+++~ I am a BIG crafter. I take time every day to make something. Two of my major hobbies are ceramic pottery and silversmithing (jewelry). Those are the two demanding ones I am actively trying to learn and get better at.
