I'm from Los Angeles CA. It's nice to meet you!

I'm active in Postcrossing and various subreddits for postcards and mails. I truly don't mind what kind of cards I receive as I love to receive mail that's not bills or advertisements, but if you need help deciding, here is a list of my general interests from it comes to cards:

• anything unique to your hometown or city
• interesting art
• homemade art or photography
• trains
• space
• food
• irregular shaped postcards
• anything pink
• vintage-looking postcards
• cereal box or packaged postcards

Of course I will gladly receive any card you send me.

Regarding what to write, I'm fine with knowing how your day went :) I would also love to know your recommendations on travel/movie/tv/anime/books, or receipes from a dish/dessert/drink you like.

I would love to see some doodles of your pet(s) if you're willing to include it! If the card is coming in an evelope, I would love a tea bag or a coffee packet, only if possible or if you feel like it.

I spent most of my time watching TV or movies. I wish I could go to the movie theaters more often like I used to!

I mostly gravitate towards detective/mystery books, but other than that, the summary and book cover have to hook me in for me to start reading. I also like reading more books with nonlinear or unconventional narrative structures. i.e "Several People Typing At Once" or "Ella Minnow Pea".

I used to have an Etsy showing handmade embroidery hoop art. My hands couldn't take it any more so I had to stop :( I gave away my supplies, and seeing how people were so happy to start making embroidery art made me happy as well.

I dabble in hand drawing and digital drawing. I used to be really into paper crafts, and from time to time I'll make something if I have a good idea on what I want to do. Last year last for anime expo, I cosplayed as Bee from Bee and Puppycat and made paper infinity flippers of my favorite scene from Bee and Puppycat.

I love different types of paper and orgami paper. I draw with mechanical pencils and colored pencils. I couldn't get into painting as much as I tried, though I love watching people paint. I have markers but pencils are my preferred medium.

No religious card or AI cards. I love seeing art made by people!

Pains me to say this, but please no washi tape! I have so many given to me by friends that I cannot use them fast enough than I receive them.

Those are my main non-negotiables. I believe listing out too many dislikes or likes puts too much pressure on the sender, and I want to particpate in these exchanges with an open mind. You can message me if you have any questions about what to send.

I jumped on the cyberdeck trend and I'm working on making one that I can add offline Wiki pages and maps. I'm also working on replacing the battery and storage of my ipod classic.

My website takes up most of my tech focus. I haven't coded anything since the MySpace days, and the style of how I want my website to look like and function requires more complicated coding. I'm learning a lot though and it's been fun so far!
