About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a 20-year-old girl from the USA who makes zines and has a wonderful family of feathered, furred, and scaled pets. I started on Swap-Bot a long time ago, and unfortunately went through a bad period of depression in 2007 and 2008 in which I wasn't the best swapper. I have contacted the people I didn't send to and am trying to make up for these swaps. If I owe you a swap, please PM me! I am also working on finishing items BEFORE I sign up for a swap and sending them out the day partners are assigned to make sure those swaps get where they are going. To anyone I flaked on, I truly apologize, and I promise that I'm working hard to be a better swapper now that I'm back on the site!

On this page, you'll find out a little about me. I look forward to seeing you in swaps!

Comment: I Think it is unfair not only for myself but for all 10 others that have had the bad experience of not receiving from you. I will change this ratting when I receive an answer and what you owe me.

Comment: Thank you - was this created on the computer? Unfortunately the glue wasn't strong enough to hold it onto the card so I received just a piece of card and a separate piece of paper. I looked up the phrase to see it meant 'It's all in the eyes'.

Comment: Thank-you for your A-Z about you. I love Xander too! The first episode of Buffy I ever saw was 'Reptile Boy' where Xander dresses up as a girl to save Buffy. ^_~

Comment: Thank you for the zine about your town! I found it pretty insightful and also pretty close to how I felt about towns I've lived in. I hope you can find your adventure soon.

When will this person EVER BE FULLY SUSPENDED?

katehawk on Apr 1, 2010:

I cannot express enough how truly angry I am at such a lousy job you did hosting the "theme-a-day journal" swap. You stated CLEARLY in your directions "no newbies, 5 finished swaps, can't be email swaps" and yet MANY people are going to be flaked on by people because you let every single person who signed up into the swap. I'm putting this on your profile as a comment so others can see & hopefully if you do ever come back (and HOPEFULLY you are ok) you never host a swap again. You might not take your swapping obligations seriously, or your hosting ones for that matter, but you wasted a lot of people's time and money setting up such a sloppy mess of a swap & while it was an awesome idea, sadly it's ending in disaster for plenty of good swappers out there. So I do have my fingers crossed you alive & well, but you should reconsider swap-bot if you can't fulfill your obligations on the site.

yesh on Mar 13, 2010:

I have not heard from you and 2 weeks have passed since the due date and your chunky has not been sent yet. I hate to give ba ratings !

Chewysmommy on Feb 22, 2010:

I have sent you several messages. I would really appreciate a response, since you are the hostess. I do not think it if right for a hostess to not fulfill her rules (I am talking about the fact that you did in fact let recent ones into the Journal Swap). Thank you, I would really appreciate your response to my messages.

ladydy5 on Feb 2, 2010:

Why do you have so many 1"s? and yet you are coordinating a several swaps.

missxpistol on Jan 20, 2010:

just wondering when the my town zine partners were gonna be assigned? :)

MysticalMagic on Jan 3, 2010:

Hi, I'm just following up on the Merry Christmas E-Card 2009 - EDITED Swap. I sent you an E-card on Dec 23rd but haven't been rated for it yet. I just wanted to find out if you had received it or if it's maybe in your spam folder?

scorpiogrrrl on Dec 23, 2009:

Thanks Rubyfreckles! This was actually suggested to me by another member (I didn't know I could do this) and I have been contacting members from outstanding swaps who are still around so that I can send the swaps to them. Hoping to be all caught up soon. Merry Christmas!

Rubyfreckles on Dec 23, 2009:

Trying to make good on some of your previous one ratings will probably make people more likely to want to join your swaps. At least a couple of those people are still actively signing in here.

Have a great Christmas
