Ratatatat

I'm Lara, a rural Aussie girl looking to make friends through swaps. Please don't write my first name on mail, my neighbour is a creep.

I have three pet rats; Roy, Harry, and Dietrich. My boys are my world and are spoilt rotten. I collect anything featuring a rat/mouse, and have a small army of plush rodents.

I am deaf, have fibromyalgia, allergies, and other serious conditions. I'm in and out of hospital a fair bit, so most of my socialising is done online.

I'm a linguistics nerd and love talking about the evolution of language.

My handwriting is rather messy because I have hand tremors and arthritis. Sometimes it will take me a couple of days to write out what i need to.

Currently my account has been partially suspended. I've sent a message to the admins to find out why and what i can do to resolve this. I will still be sending out the swaps that I have already signed up for, and I'm willing to send tracking numbers to anyone wanting the reassurance.

I am anaphylactic to; peanuts, tree nuts, latex, silicone, and rubber.

I am allergic to; dairy, apple, nightshades (tomato, potato, eggplant), cat hair.

I have severe asthma. If something will be coming from a smoking home, please let me know so I can be prepared.

The colours purple, pink, and orange.
