I am a newly married twenty-something in the Midwest. If I were locked in a room for an entire week I would need three things to survive - My guitar, a stack of books, and my iPod.

I am open to private swaps! Just PM Me :)

Ich kann ziemlich gut Deutsch sprechen, und moechte einer Tage jede Chuck Palahniuk buecher auf Deutsch.

Once, an anonymous penpal sent me a note about the woman he loved, and how he was so nervous to tell her -- he included the note he was too afraid to show her. That was a really memorable letter!

I love all things handmade. I love little poems, random musings, the color purple (though I am always attracted to orange), and anything with cats or wine involved. Books, art, photography… I love the little things no one seems to think are special. I love unique. Music. Dance. Sunsets. Collages. I find happiness in the small signs of affection. In love notes I’m not meant to read. In secrets, in laughter… I love it all.

I love dark fiction, dystopian books, anything nostalgic or vintage, fairytale related items, elephants, earthy, funky, vintage jewelry, tea, elephants, punk rock, indie art, indie music, recipes, cooking, poetry, nail polish in dramatic colors, blue grass, tattoos, stars, moons, cereal… I love cereal!
