Back on Swap-bot after a bit of a hiatus!

I am female. I am made in America of German and Irish parts. I do not define myself by my sexuality. I am passive-aggressive, but I will be the first one in line with a baseball bat if you hurt someone I care about. I believe in making love over war. I believe in respecting everyone, no matter how different they are from you. I am a liberal. I am a radical feminist. (More importantly, I know what it actually means to be a radical feminist.) I am pro-choice. I am pro-equality. I am a smartass. I put voice to some of the things that people think but won't say. This often leads to awkward situations.

Bones, Law & Order: SVU, Glee, Jeopardy, Good Eats, Iron Chef America, Passport to Europe, House Hunters

I love oldies music -- the stuff played on the radio so often during the 60s and 70s that people today still want to scream when they hear it again. I also enjoy some acoustic folk, particularly of the queer variety.

V-Day: Until the Violence Stops, The Breakfast Club, Remember the Titans, Shrek, This Film Is Not Yet Rated

Brave New World, Number the Stars, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Secret Garden, Harry Potter, Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape, The Vagina Monologues

Lately I've been on a pretty big postcard-making kick. I like making bookmarks and inchies and other flat things. I'm really looking forward to starting some package swaps though. The American economy sucks right now, so I know that people would love to get something in the mail that's not a bill.

I've done one matchbox swap, which I really enjoyed, but found myself lacking items small enough to fit in the box. I'm hoping to do a few more of those in the near future. The last package swap I did was quite a lot of fun as well, so I'm looking forward to signing up for something similar again.
