About Me

My name is Bastian, I'm a 24-year-old guy from Newfoundland.

I have a lot of different interests from makeup to animals to cooking to outdoorsy things, and more. I like being creative whenever I can!

Please DO NOT send any scented items! We have birds and scent sensitivities. See the end of my profile for other nopes.

I tend to opt for low-cost and/or simple swaps; livin' the spoonie life is rough. As a result my presence here is also somewhat limited and I don't log in as often as I should; please bear with my slow replies! I do always send on time (unless I have contacted you otherwise) even if I don't mark sent for a while.

Favorite Crafts

Recently I've begun getting into stencil & spray paint work. I'm still really new at it but it's really interesting and I very much enjoy it.

I find paper crafts interesting and occasionally have made cute things (like ATC's or skinnies) to send to friends in the mail. I also like to do origami!

I really enjoy knotwork and macrame and don't do it nearly enough.

I've gotten into cross stitching as well and it's very enjoyable, though I'm not great at it.

Things I Like A-Z!

Thought this would be a good way to organise things! Updated as I think of things

A: animals, ATCs & supplies, abstract art, aquariums, archery

B: bees, books, bento, Burt's Bees

C: cats, chocolate, cupcakes, cross stitch & supplies, candy, cyberpunk, crowns

D: dragons, dance, Death Note

O: origami

P: plushies, paper crafts, pillows, puzzles

Q: queer/LGBT+

Animals

In our house, there's me, my roommate, and:

3 cats / 5 budgies / 1 betta fish / 2 corn snakes / 1 bearded dragon.

Most of our animals are either rescues or rehomed from people who were moving or otherwise unable to care for them. If we can find the space, we are likely to take in others; we do foster/pet-sit on occasion as well.

Media Favourites

Television

Orphan Black, Elementary, Fringe, Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, The Flash; crime, drama, science fiction, classic mystery

Music

Rammstein, Emigrate, Eisbrecher, EXO, Got7, 2PM, Coldplay, alt-J, VNV Nation, Colony 5, Depeche Mode, Genesis, Super Junior, Hyuna, Muse, Covenant, Rage Against the Machine, Monsta X, [more as I think of important ones to list]

No thanks!

Please do not send the following:

coffee, scented products (incense, scented candles, perfumes, herbal sachets, etc.), sour candy, green apple candy, seafood cat treats (one of the kitties has allergies), teas with apple or citrus flavour, Disney, soaps or cleansers (ask first!)

Comment: Have not clicked the send button for this swap and have not logged in since Jan 29, 2016. I have never given a 1 to anyone. This is a placeholder rating and I will upgrade when I receive the swap from you. I wish you well with whatever is happening in your life at this time and hope nothing serious has prevented your participation. Added 3/13/16 In an effort to give you the benefit of the doubt that it had to be beyond your control and In the event I have to leave SB before we ever communicate and I could not be reached to change this rating pls know #there is an annual charity drive that rewards a donation with the removal of one low rating per year. You can read about the 2015 drive on the SB Blog so you can be ready ahead of time.
