25 words or less, tell us about your personality: I'm very committed to whatever I do, but love to have fun and be random.
I am obsessed with: Lime green. Lol. Also chocolate, stationery, writing supplies, penpalling, black tea, cool socks, notebooks, the letter "A".
I can’t stand: Cartoony things. I'm not big on the cutesy stuff. 
I love to make: Nothing, really. I'm terrible at crafts/artsy things. I stick to make words into sentences. I AM interested in taking up Zentangling though.
I really don’t like: Pastel colours, most pinks (just hot pink/fuschia)
My Blog link: www.AliciaAudrey.com <--- That's my author website and blog. My personal blog is conchsaladesque.wordpress.com

Anything extra? I love love love sending and receiving mail. Half the fun for me is picking out things I'm pretty sure my partner would like. It's all about getting the smiles. :)

am interested in private swaps

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for: Someone who will follow through and respond to letters in a timely fashion, and taking my likes/dislikes into consideration just as I will do for them.  I'd prefer someone who loves music of various types (indie artists?! YEAH!), and likes to read/write. Someone who likes to cook and/or bake would be cool too. It's not necessary to hit ALL these points though. :)

Meet Twistedriver

Swapbot Name: twistedriver
Age: 19, turning 20 in February
Country: Norway/Currently living in The Netherlands


I collect: Postcards (not ad-cards), stickers, figurine soaps, tiny porcelaine figures, christmas related things, and little special knick-knacks (:
My favourite colour is: Blue, preferably darker shades.
Please don’t send me: Lavender, balloons or licorice.
My hobbies/interests are: Penpalling/snailmailing, reading, writing, watching movies, cafe visits with friends, fantasy, animals, knitting, photography, doodling
I like to write letters about: Everything basically, from daily observations to fun quirks and little secrets. I'm not a big debater, so I'm not fond of discussing politics and such.
25 words or less, tell us about your personality: Quirky, and apparantly the first impression people have of me is weird. I'm very kind and openminded too.
I am obsessed with: Penguins, dinosaurs and postcards.
I can’t stand: Politics, balloons and the smell of lavender.
I love to make: Bookmarks, letters, envelopes, cakes.
I really don’t like: The smell of lavender (haha), and balloons that pop, or being scared.

Anything extra? I'm not very easily offended, I'm used to talking about basically anything. But I'm not a believer of any faith.

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for: Someone that is open minded, loves to chit chat about weird things and doesn't mind that I'm extremely forgetful. I might ask a few of the same questions in the same letter or two letters in a row.
