I am just a college student whose trying to find a major that I care for while trying to maintain and form friendships.

Someone who all too often loses track of time when engaged in drawing or any other sort of craft for that matter

Someone who wants to be able to travel to numerous countries and speak multiple languages, but sadly, only knows English. But not for long, at least, as long as I continue with my awesome Japanese classes.

Someone who, and I honestly mean this, would literally squeal at the sight of an adorably wrapped package/box. And yes, this has definitely happened before.

Someone who needs to spend much less time browsing through the internet trying to find pretty pictures or lurking through forums. Thankfully, my habit of lurking through forums has dwindled quite a bit over the past few months.

• Drawing: I usually draw something anime or manga like, but I also enjoy drawing flowers. I like using color pencils even though I usually ruin my drawings after coloring them in.

• Cardmaking: I just enjoy looking at pretty cards and thought it might be fun for me to make some myself. I'm not that good, but it's fun going through a bunch of patterned paper and trying to figure out what to make

• ATCs: I first started making ATCs when I first joined swapbot. It actually didn't seem that appealing at first, but after my first ones I really like it now.

• Crochet: I actually barely started learning crochet, but I'm liking it so far. My goal is to be able to make amigurumis. But right now, I'm just aiming for basics.

• Stamp Carving: I just started this new craft and am currently addicted. It's just so much fun.
