Xanetia

I'm moving back to England shortly, so I won't be joining any swaps until I get there and have a place to live :)

If you want any kind of private swap with me just let me know :D I love many things, so I'm up for almost everything :)

I quit Swap Bot a long time ago, and I decided to come back and play a little ;D It feels good to be back.

My profile is full of information, and I'm begging your forgiveness because of that. It's just that I can't stop writing about random things, and I get overexcited talking about everything I like... Maybe the problem is that I actually like A LOT of things ;D hehe.

Please, check the swapping facts at the bottom of my profile :) It's very important.

I have a bright and a dark side. And yes, I can combine them perfectly :)

• My bright side - Colors, toys, Blythe, candy, glitter & sparkling, party, butterflies & dragonflies, Sanrio & other stuff like that, stars, fairies & fantasy in general, rainbows, stickers... Everything very very colorful.

• My dark side - Cemeteries, Night, Bats, Gothic, Vampires, Victorian age & romanticism, Ghosts, Zombies, Living Dead Dolls, Dark Ambient, everything related to Death, dark colors (I dress in black most of the time), Blood, ... I was always quite sinister and attracted to everything Dark and Decadent.

I'm a very random person, obsessed with many different things and in love with the small things in life ;D

★ I have a degree in English, and I'm doing a PhD in Linguistics... Although I'm thinking about quitting and start a Master. I'm an English and Spanish teacher.

★ I'm from Spain, and I'm spending the summer there, but I live and work in England at the moment. I also lived in Atlanta [USA] many years ago... And I miss it soooo much in there :/

★ I'm very chaotic. My room is a complete and neverending mess, and so is my head. I can't organize myself, and I'd rather learn how to coexist with the battleground than fighting... This is a battle lost before starting, so I can't be bothered.

★ I love reading. Seriously, I would marry a book if that was possible. Give me a Epic Fantastic Novel and you won't see me in a couple of days. I think I even forget to eat and sleep when that happens. Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction and Georgian/Victorian Literature are my favorites :)

★ I'm a sucker for legends. I love with all my heart everything related to the Arthurian Lore, Robin Hood and Celtic/Greek/Roman Mythology especially.

★ I tend to fall in love with fictional book characters ;D - Kalten from Elenium & Tamuli (David Eddings) is the man of my dreams :_) Also Mr. Darcy and Heathcliff, of course ;D

★ My name Xanetia comes from the Tamuli trilogy (by David Eddings) and it's one of my favorite female characters in books!

★ Music is my life. There are no days for me without singing and/or listening to the music. I think I would marry the music as well if that was possible ;D

★ If you want to die you just have to question my absolute love for Muse. I get easily offended in that case, and I'm capable of crazy things... Beware ;D hides her flame thrower just in case

★ My camera is like the extension of my arm. I need it like breathing, and photography helps me feel better most of the time.

★ I'm obsessed with the Universe. It scares the hell out of me (I'm spacephobic), but I can't stop reading and/or seeing pictures and watching movies/documentaries about it. It's beautifully scary and impressive.

★ I'm also afraid of heights, planes/flying, bees, wasps and clowns. I don't fancy small rooms, elevators or crowded places either. Also, number 8 makes me feel a little nervous... I don't know why.

★ I love dolls. A lot. And toys, plushies and everything. My room is full of these things, and it looks pretty much like a bazaar.

★ I love everything that shines. Glitter much? NEVER.

★ I'm a child in a 27 years old body. I don't want to grow. EVER. :(

★ I don't mind your beliefs, so why do you mind mine? I'm pagan, I believe in nature, the Triple Goddess and all those beautiful things. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but you've gotta respect me as I respect you... Or we'll have a problem ;D It's not the first time that someone has tried to convince me that his/her religion is the best. I don't like that, we all have the right to decide in what we want to believe. If you insist in those questions you will get a negative rate from me, sorry.

★ I believe in magic. I also read Tarot, hands, runes, tea and coffee dregs, aura, etc.

★ I love Football! I support Barcelona more than anything in the world :D Also Celta and Liverpool.

And I think I should stop writing facts about me, and start the action with the I love and I hate part... That's the most interesting one for the swaps, but I just can't stop talking about random stuff ;D

★ Favorite Season - Autumn. I love whenever the leaves start to fall and it starts to chill. Also like Winter when it snows :)

As I said I love many things, and even though I love them all in the same way my obsessions come and go quite easily. It may be a song I can't stop listening, a picture I can't stop seeing, something I can't stop buying and collecting... I don't know. It just depends on how the wind blows :)

Please, dear swappers, read this before swapping with me ;D These are my facts and rules for swapping... They'll make our swapping time easier! [I'm not that complicated, I swear!]

★ Truth is I love email swaps :) But I also do A LOT OF mail swaps, more than electronic ones. But it's fun making things on the computer!

★ I reuse packaging. I'm sorry if you don't like this, but I think recycling is very important :)

★ I always send my stuff on time. Sometimes it may happen that the stuff doesn't arrive... Oh well, I'll be more than happy to re-send it to you =] So please, before rating PM me. You'll always get your stuff from me ;D

★ If something happens and I can't send anything on time, I'll let you know for sure and I'll try to be ready as soon as possible. We all know that Life Happens, and it truly does... But you'll never be flaked by me and you'll get your stuff ;D

★ Sometimes, my post office doesn't send stuff the same day I leave it there because they're a bunch of lazy people. I'm sorry for that :/

★ Also, please comment when you rate me. I want to know if you liked it or not :) It doesn't take that much time to do it, and you're being polite with your partner.

★ And I always rate & comment. I think everybody should do that!! It's quite easy to get a heart from me, as long as you send me something that makes me smile... And believe me, it's not difficult to make me smile =] There are a lot of options in my profile that would make me happy! Go on, take a little time & read what I say. We like a little bit of attention, don't we? ;D And we all like to see that others make the same efforts as we do.

★ I always try to send extras. I love being thoughtful and making people smile a little, and is not for the hearts :) If I didn't send you an extra it's probably because your profile was not filled or not very clear :/ I'm sorry if that's your case! - But when that happens I'm most likely to send you a long letter, or something handmade, or whatever I think you may like =]

★ Sometimes I use stuff that has been sent to me for another swap. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but it doesn't mean that I didn't like it! It means that I found someone that will find it more useful than I do, or I thought she/he may like it... I love everything you send to me, and you should know that anyway.
