Hello, I am a 20-something girl from California. Hmm, how else shall I identify myself for you? I am the eldest of 7 kids, very Capricorn, an Indigo Adult (if such things exist), and a self-employed web/graphic nerd who strives to be self-sufficient. What that means is I am on my PC most of the day making pretty graphics and webpages, telling myself elaborate made-up stories during such work, playing therapist to my family and partner for a couple hours, procuring then preparing fresh food, making some art, and then organizing my sock drawer by color (or sock age, or style, or something else ultimately meaningless). I love the Lord and am a (non-denominational) Christian. The C-word has earned a deservedly bad reputation throughout history, but I don't discriminate against anybody and am respectful of other people feelings and beliefs. I just wanna share God's love, tis' all!

I think that mail art is a beautiful concept; if you are similarly awed, then we might be good swap partners.

PS- I used to be an active member on nervousness, back when it was more than just a message board. All that awesome feedback gone :( I have an eBay account under "mablesdotcom" that shows some rad feedback, so peep that if you're curious.

YES

• handmade anything. If you made it, I will love it.
• that pretty prairie girl look (tiny calico flower prints, eyelet lace, gunnie sax style dresses, bonnets, hair flowing in the breeze)
• recycled or otherwise reused materials.
• zombies (that don't run, talk, or really think)
• old science fiction (not fantasy, k?) generally from 50's-60's
• other decades, specifically 40's-60's and the 80's
• Halloween: the creative, creepy, spooky, monster infested kind.
• pale pink + (brown or black or pale blue) or just pink + more pink!
• sweets! visual representations of impossibly decadent sugary sweet treats, or real vegan treats for my tummy.
• raw/living food. aren't plain old fruits and veggies just the prettiest thing?
• reconstructing goods (especially clothes and paper crafts)
• voluntary simplicity and hyper minimalism
• progressive politics
• reading for hours and hours
• writing in blank reconstructed journals
• indie mix CDs (big ups for positive lyrics & booty shakin' beats. think rock n roll, punk rock, 90's emo, and electronica)
• saving the entire world

NO THANKS

• store bought anything...zzzz
• brand names (let's support indie businesses together!)
• animal products (vegan stuff only, plz)
• big stuff. I move a lot and travel light, so think (physically) small plz.

Hee hee, tricked you; I don't watch television. I don't even have a TV! But I do have a computer and the Internet, and sometimes the two meet... I mostly watch movies and sketch comedy. I am a total cinephile. I watch several movies a week, and dream of making just as many.
