About Me

Hello there! I'm a newbie to this swap bot thing but it looks fun. I'm very artistic and creative so I think I'll do good. I live in Fresno, Ca and I'm going to school and looking for work (the economy sucks!). I looooove animals, I have a dog, a cat, and a snake. I plan on attending an animal training school in Ventura. My favorite animals are primates, especially monkeys and lemurs. I love visiting natural places like Yosemite or the beach. If I could choose one place to visit it would probably be somewhere tropical like Fiji. Another interest of mine is the Japanese language and culture. I love all the cute anime cartoons and figures like Rirakuma.

I've taken four semesters of Japanese so I can read and write it pretty well. Right now I'm taking a Photography class, so I'm really into that as well.
Okay, that's all I have to say for now. Happy swapping!

Favorite Movies

I recently saw 'He's Just Not That Into You' which was really good. Some of my fave movies include Harry Potter, Chocolat, The Holiday, The Matrix, X-Men, Superbad, Mamma Mia!, The Hot Chick, Empire Records, 50 First Dates, Whalerider, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and Reality Bites.

Favorite Television

Some of my fave TV shows are Solitary 3.0, Mythbusters, Friends, SNL, The Office, Fullmetal Alchemist, Little Britain, Drake and Josh, The Sara Silverman Program, Chelsea Lately, and Spongebob Squarepants. Shows that I like that aren't on anymore are So Weird, Alex Mack, Mr. Bean, and Strangers with Candy. I'm sure there's many more but I can't think of them right now. I also like watching channels like Discovery, Science, Animal Planet, Discovery Health, and TLC.

Favorite Crafts

I love all kinds of crafts. I love to sew things like little bags or stuffed animals. I like the book "Cute Stuff" by Aranzi Aronzo which has all these little cute things to make. I like to knit as well and make things like scarves or beanies. I made a super long Harry Potter scarf. I love to paint and draw, especially anime characters. I also like making beaded jewelry like necklaces or earrings. I also enjoy screenprinting, paper crafts, and making things out of clay.

Favorite Books

I love the Harry Potter books! I also like The Giver, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings. Another book that's really good is The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. He writes really cool short stories. Another good one is The Count of Monte Cristo.

Comment: I loooove this :] How ironic that you love a lot of the same things as me! And wow, I don't know what I'd do if I ever found myself in a kawaii store... I have to buy everything online because there are no stores near me. Thanks for sharing!
Response: Yeah, if you are ever in Cali, you have to go to Japantown in either LA or SF. You will be in heaven! I don't get to go very often so I have to buy a lot of stuff online as well. Glad you liked the package!
