I am a part of Swap-Bot community. The idea is to bring together people to swap hand crafts, surprises, artist trading cards and whatever we come up with. I partook a swap where you will send a small amount of candy and a surprise based on your partner's profile. In the profiles people tell about themselves and give hints of their likes and dislakes.

Well, I checked my swap partner's profile:

I am allergic to cigarette smoke and the smell of mothballs. PLEASE don't send me USED items..JUNK..or things on my dislikes list.


I want to send her ROCKS. Or better, trash. From the bottom of my carbage bin. She wrote a shopping list! Brand items only! And no this and that, and she effectively condemned all handcraft items to be trash. If one uses the Swap-Bot to only collect certain items, maybe one shouldn't sign in in such general swaps! None of these items are even sold in Finland! I will probably just send her the hair pins or something. Otherwise there will be bad feedback ahead. Argh!

I see what you mean. It's like, "I love stuff! How can I get more stuff? I know! I'll sign up on Swap-Bot and makeit so people have to get me the stuff I, me, myself, and I, want." In following your LJ I've found the whole swapping things pretty cool. I'm sorry this person was assigned to you. It sucks. The person sucks. They're probably seriously unhappy as an indivisdual and a memeber of society.

How can one not like hand made things?????

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

I'm bummed about someone's idea of gaining new, moderately expensive brand products by listing them on a swapping site focusing on hand crafting. Yes, there are separate kawaii stuff swaps, but c'mon, I was offended by that profile.

[twindouble.livejournal.com]

Cool. First she says that she likes something, and then lists it in her do-not-send list. Huh?

The best part: Organic food. I wonder where she can get any unorganic food... ;-)

Send her some Finnish chocolate, like Marianne, and salmiac-flavoured sugarfree chewing gum. She says she likes all sugarfree chewing gums... And that is not too expensive for that "nirppanokka".

[smiral.livejournal.com]

Um, doesn't "organic food" mean food which has been grown without using fertilizers and chemicals? "Luomu" in Finnish.

I have, for example, organic tea bags.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

What she means is stuff from a health food store. You don't actually have them in Finland, but lots of morons think they only sell herb tea, sugar-free dessert substitutes, and weird things which your average Hot Topic-shopping suburban Hello Kitty fangirl doesn't consider food.

[twindouble.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does, but I find it funny anyway.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

I might send her cheap finish bubble gum and a Escada parfume sample that I got for free. So there.

[mitzi007.livejournal.com]

She is thirteen, right? She sure sounds like that.

Make an equally impossible list in return and let her sweat with that.

Or with really broken English send her the Hello Kitty sudoku she so much wanted. A handmade Hello Kitty sudoku.

She likes cute post-it notes. Send her exactly one cute post-it note. Shipping should be inexpensive at least. Draw a Hello Kitty on it.

Send her a cute band aid. Used.

Send her a rice cake and a note that too much sugar is bad for her health. And a tooth brush. If you are feeling charitable, make it a Hello Kitty tooth brush.

Send her a cute ghost... to haunt her house!

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

the swaps aren't one-to-one, so she will send to someone else. therefore there will be no kauhun tasapaino like in Huuto-net regarding the feedbacks.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

And BTW, the first two episodes of SGA season four have leaked to net (without sound) and the spoilers promise amazing things ;)

[mitzi007.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Spoil me!

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

:)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

I suggest handmade items... made out of paper. With "Hawaii!" written on them, keychains with no decorations on them, and loose yarn. And maybe a note on pink paper covered with glitter saying that you didn't know what kawaii meant and you thought she probably spelled "Hawaii" wrong. And, like, a really ugly postcard from Finland.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

Hey, I can have as much as I like those yellow post-it-notes from my workplace. They are not stationary, no? Or buy a real cupcake and draw a smiley on it. Or I could send her twenty business cards of mine..

[cimness.livejournal.com]

along with some salmiaki.

[rosabel.livejournal.com]

Um. wow. Those are real good hints at what she wants...

Yeah, just send her anything and say "I could not find any of your items in Finland, seeing that we only have pirated Hello Kitty stuff and organic food..."

And Hershey bars. Dude if you live in the United States, you can buy that crap anywhere!! I would not want to "swap" things that I can buy during my next shopping trip! Ugh. You are right, she is givin gjust a shopping list.

Did she tell you not to send tampons? I don't think she said not to.

The one thing that pissed me off: "Do not send pencils. I do not use them!" Awww poor pencils :/

Well, as someone else said, send her gum. I guess that's the easiest and it's actually on her list. Blah, what a person. Sorry you're swapping with her.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

In my way home, I bough three packages of gum and that "Blue-white" chocolate bar. The promt was to bay candy worth of 3-5 dollars, i.e. "about three regular sized candy bars". I already used almost five euros for the candy and I'm still thinking that she might give me bad feedback to not giving enough :/

[rosabel.livejournal.com]

It sounds like she'd be a person to do that. I just hope that the bad feedback shows also from whom it has come from, and people who see her profile will understand you.

Let us know how it went.

[franklymydear.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that just hurts. Especially that part about what she needs for her dachsund.

Too bad you can't send her something totally kawaii from Taiwan :-/

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

Se is not too specific with her needs, oh no! she is either selfish of dum to not think about how her profile makes her look.

[tvillingar.livejournal.com]

Is she for real? I suggest something glittery and half-price from Seppälä, with tags intact.

[lumiyu.livejournal.com]

If these wouldn't be too expensive....
Hello Kitty condoms and vibrators

Although a post it note with hand drawn hello kitty, perhaps with words kawaiiiiiii would be fitting too.

Sorry to hear you got such a nitwit :

[dlasta.livejournal.com]

That much cute can kill a grown up. I hope she's under 16 because otherwise that's just really, really sad.
Is there any way you could 'report' her for not playing the game in the spirit it was meant to?

[maweisse.livejournal.com]

I've been mad ever since I read your reply to my comment: I'm bummed about someone's idea of gaining new, moderately expensive brand products by listing them on a swapping site focusing on hand crafting. I agree, oh do I ever agree! I, as a dedicated handicrafts-person, find that list of her's insulting. It's like joining the group just to say Fuck You, Handicrafters! I would give her bad feedback, and not just because she seems to be breaking against the rules of the game.

... cookies and cream hershey bars.... Not only is this a shopping list, it is an America-centered shopping list, as if she didn't realise there are other nations represented on the list, or doesn't care. I'm seriously embarrased and pissed of, and I'm distantly related to Milton Hershey of Hershey Chocolate! I second the sugarfree salmiakki gum. She'll never know what hit her. Hah!

I'm actually kind of enjoying this...

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

I opened a thread in swap-bot's discussion forum with, like "what do you think about this? Too strict, no?" and got about zillion answers with "Whoa!". Except one girl who was like "You are way out of line! How would you fell if someone would bash you!?". She even send me a private message where she tried to make me feel guilty. I was like, peple should know that everything they post on the ned will be subjected to ridicule, no, I won't edit my message, she can ban me from her future swaps if she likes." Want to bet that this dismayed reader will inform the user tvstar about my writing in the forum? Hm?

[twindouble.livejournal.com]

I hope she doesn't get informed about your writing _before_ she gives feedback to you. She sounds like a person who doesn't react nicely to criticism.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

But the feedback can be changed retro-actively any time! And as we are not paired with each other, I can't use the kauhun tasapaino on her..

[maweisse.livejournal.com]

But she (and bimbette tvstar) are obviously in the minority. Small, but obnoxious minority. I'd say tough shit. If you get one bad rating, does that really matter? I mean, I'm assuming your over all rating is very high, just because that's the kind of person you are, and I've seen some of the swap items you've done.

[lorem.livejournal.com]

Amerikkalaista yksisilmäistä alhaisen sivistystason materialismia. Manner on luultavasti täynnä noita tyyppejä.

[nana-rena.livejournal.com]

Her dog likes pink? Really? I thought dogs see in black and white.

"Her Mommy loves things with dachshunds on them"

Now that scared the shit out of me! I too am really sorry that you got such a rotten swap pair. I also think you should complain, especially if it is a site focussed on swapping the hand maid stuff that this girl hatesd so much...
