Hey there. I'm a 32 year old thrifting junkie with a lot of different passions!

PLEASE NOTE: Since I live in a small town, our mail gets hauled to the next state over to be processed and postmarked at their sorting center (in North Carolina). Also, sometimes I'm not able to get to the post office until after they close. Therefore on swaps, my sent date and the postmark on the post card, envelope, or package may differ. Thanks for your understanding!

Let's see... my favorite color is black. I'm really into stationery, stickers, post cards, paper products, and office supplies (especially pens and sharpies!). I like the cutesy kawaii stuff, and I absolutely LOVE planners!

I also enjoy writing; in my planner and pen pal letters! I have a few steady pen pals - I even write to our soldiers deployed overseas! If anyone has a military member in their family in need of extra mail support, I'd be more than happy to provide that.

Oh, and I'm addicted to thrift stores and dollar stores. :o)

Music tastes are pretty varied; rock, alternative, industrial, dubstep, techno, 80s pop, classic rock, metal, Motown, indie, some modern pop.

Some of my favorite groups/artists are:

NIN, Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Motley Crue, Aerosmith (their older stuff), Prodigy, Lana del Rey, Marilyn Manson, Puscifer, Halsey, Duran Duran, Seether, Chevelle, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Ruelle, Florence + The Machine, Imagine Dragons, etc.

Anything that has a good rhythm and beat will catch my ear, regardless of genre.

I've recently started reading books that have been turned into movies and/or television series. It's been hit or miss as to whether or not I like the book or movie better. Otherwise, my favorite genre has always been paranormal romance, but I've also always been into mystery/thrillers, too. Some of my favorite series are:

the Harry Potter series, the Sookie Stackhouse novels, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter books, the Merry Gentry novels, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, books in the Dark Hunter series.

Other authors I like are: Karen Marie Moning, Diana Gabaldon, Lyndsay Sands, etc.

I love horror movies. Not the gore fests, but the supernatural scary movies... especially ones having to do with possession (even though 99% of the time they always end up disappointing me). Other movies that I love are:

End of Watch, Tron: Legacy, Snatch, Se7en, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, Interview with a Vampire, Safe Haven, The Departed, P.S. I Love You, Taken, Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Lockout, The Fifth Element, The Professional, The Lincoln Lawyer, Copycat, Equilibrium, A Time to Kill, Grandma's Boy, any comedy with Ryan Reynolds and/or Jason Bateman.

The Killing, Sons of Anarchy, Supernatural, Ghost Adventures, Lucifer, The Exorcist, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Teen Wolf, Sherlock, Paranormal Lockdown, The Haunted Collector, A Haunting, Kindred Spirits, Haunted Case Files, etc.
