About Me

UPDATE February 2024 I finally finished the research project I've been working on for the past year. I need to catch up a bit with writing letters to my pen pals and make sure there aren't any swaps I haven't rated. Hopefully I'll be caught up soon. Incowrimo is good incentive to get back into the swing of things.

Hello! I have always loved writing letters and getting things in the mail other than bills, which is why I joined Swapbot in 2020. I live in Australia and enjoy reading, creative writing, drawing and gardening. I'm vegan and neurodivergent. I love animals, even the creepy crawly ones. I like horror movies and 80s fashion.

ART- I love reading zines, though I have only made a couple so far. I have been enjoying making some ATCs. So far I mostly hand draw them but I want to practice some other techniques. I started an art journal in 2021 and am learning some mixed media techniques (got a gelli plate, having some fun!). I appreciate handmade paper, stamps and ephemera I could use for my journal. I'm also learning to use watercolours, so anything related to that would also be great.I also do a bit of embroidery. I'm not very good at it, but it keeps my hands busy.

Likes/Interests- Animals (dogs, cats, spiders, that weird lizard that shoots blood out of its eyes...) gardening Movies - horror, the odd rom-com, 80s movies zombies vampires bats 80s fashion K-Pop- I'm new to this, but I love BTS and Blackpink folk punk ska Cloth patches/badges- I sew them onto my jacket. Chocolate Weird earrings (some of my favourites that I have include a pair made from human teeth and some shaped like miniature toasters). Wire wrapped jewellery plushies two headed cats sci fi fantasy novels cryptids Moomins Harry Potter Soviet memorabilia tea Aussie hip hop Skepticism Creative writing

Dislikes- Misogyny, homophobia and racism Right wing politics Animal cruelty Depictions of dead animals or stuff about hunting Pseudoscience Mariah Carey (just her music, not her as a person) Coca Cola

Tea- I'm not a fan of chamomile, fennel or liquorice teas (I HATE liquorice), but I love any black tea, green tea, chai, herbal or fruity teas. I can't have dairy.

Favorite Books

Jane Austen (Persuasion is my favourite). Fantasy- Ursula Le Guin, The Hobbit Kurt Vonnegut Sci fi JM Redmann Romance- Molly Harper, Stacia Kane, contemporary rom coms, some historical. Agatha Christie Terry Pratchett Douglas Adams Comics- Peanuts, Garfield, Giant Days, Rat Queens, Marvel (especially Squirrel Girl, Spiderman and Deadpool), DC, Dark Horse and Image amd weird Indie comics.

Favorite Television

Favorite Movies

The Descent, Practical Magic, Triangle, Night of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Hocus Pocus, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2016, Moon, Bladerunner, Always Be My Maybe, One for the Money, Wonder Woman, The Fast and the Furious series, Ghost in the Shell.

Postcards

LIKES: Cards with animals, spiders, pictures of places (landscapes, buildings), K-Pop, Star Wars, Moomin, Soviet cards, vintage cards (even better if they've been written on), rainbows, bright colours. Lenticular cards. Home made is cool.

DISLIKES: Anything religious, ad cards

Stickers

Scratch and Sniff stickers.Anything with rainbows, sparkly stuff, animals, plants, mushrooms, fairies, goblins unicorns, My Little Pony, K-Pop, Star Wars, cryptids, zombies, Neurodiversity pride stuff. My favourite colour is purple.

Comment: Dear Jennifer, good luck for the last semester and I wish you to pass everything in the first try! ^-^ I remeber how strange it felt to not be a student anymore and it took some time to adjust for me and e.g. buy tickets for the local tram. As a student it was always free... Good times. XD Have a wonderful time and the mulled apple juice sounds delicous! Yours, Maxi

Comment: We stopped camping after my husband had a back injury, but before that, we camped extensively, in pretty much most conditions. We didn't intentionally camp in snow, but woke up to it one late fall day. Since it wasn't particuarly cold or windy, it was rather glorious!
