Swap Meet!

[trinityofone]

Okay, so I’m totally ripping off octopedingenue with this idea, but I hope she won’t mind. The idea is this: I have a lot of stuff I want to get rid of, and I’m sure you do, too. So let’s swap! Below is a list of items I’m willing to trade; if you see something you want, comment with that item or items and a list of things (books, DVDs, CDs, whatever) you’d be willing to trade for it. You can also trade with each other, offering new items for the stuff offered up in the comments. You don’t have to trade books for books or CDs for CDs, just as long as both parties are happy.

Make sense? Okay, let’s swap!

Comments

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Well, the only stuff I have is worth a lot of money probably too, so I'll start with what I think is worth the most to the least, okay? Okay.

(all items softcover unless otherwise noted)

- X-Files computer game and guide book (which you will need if you have any hope of beating the game)

- X-Files desk diaries, years 1997 - 199, hardcover

- Bite Me! autographed by author

- X-Files postcard book 'The Conspiracies', some dents on the cover, but all postcards intact (I believe, I will double check though)

- The Making of The X-Files: Fight the Future

- HP unlined notebook, hardcover, green with Hedwig picture

- CD 'Harem' by Sarah Brightman

- X-Files 'Fight the Future' original VHS, kind of banged up, purchased previously viewed but as far as I know it works fine

And I have plenty of stuff I am willing to lend out, like nearly all (one is on back order) of the Buffy comic books. Um. I spend a lot of money on ridiculously useless things.

Also, I have skills! Like knitting! And and I sing! Um. That last one's not so helpful. I play saxophone? OH DEAR.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Do you have any more less-fannish things? Because the truth is, when I break up with a fandom, it tends to be messy, and I don't want too much of his stuff lying around. (I also have a couple of the X-Files things already. *blush*)

I'm sure we'll find something. I'm holding it for you.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Hm, I have some soft cover books that I've either started and never finished (because they were a little bit kind of awful?), or I have books that I love and reread over and over. However, I think I could probably bear to buy new ones...

Well, what kind of books do you read? And music do you listen to? I'm sure I have something here that you might like. ;)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I have insanely eclectic taste in books. I love sci-fi/fantasy, but I also love novels of all sorts. And biographies/memoirs of interesting people (lately rock bios), and popular science, and pop culture essays, and humor, and travel... Here's my LibraryThing catalogue (http://www.librarything.com/profile/trinityofone), if that helps.

As for music...I don't really listen to CDs much anymore, horribly. Unless you have some rare U2 singles...

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Heh, no U2 for me.

I have a cool book called Hot Zone which is about the Ebola Virus outbreak. You can check it out on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Zone-Terrifying-True-Story/dp/0385479565/sr=1-1/qid=1158512888/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4129292-1536139?ie=UTF8&s=books) if you like, but I will also check my shelves for some fantasy books.

(also, I have a poem being published and the book is released on Friday. If you like, I can send you a copy, I can even autograph it! As could twentyfivepast, maybe, since she's in it, too. It only costs $5 though, which I don't feel is good enough for the Gatekeeper Trilogy)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the poem! That's so exciting! And I'd love to have that, although if you want to get back to me about the fantasy books, that'd be cool, too.

Hot Zone is a cool book, but I've read it, I'm afraid. I'm sorry I'm so difficult!

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I offered chibi Hewletts to lallybroch in exchange for new fic - this, however, is FAR MORE DIFFICULT, lol!

Okay, so my roommate has raided her bookshelf, and she has:

- Sara Douglas' 'The Axis Trilogy', which is apparently also called 'The Wayfarer Redemption', because book 2 has a different cover and stuff, but it is definitely part of the same series. Um?

- Melanie Rawn's 'The Dragon Prince' series, which is apparently like The Dragonriders of Pern, which I have never read. Also, Book 1 was originally owned by Canadian author Carol Matas, who is close friends with my roommate's family.

What I have:

- Gardens of the Moon, Steven Erikson
- The Man In The Iron Mask, Alexandre Dumas
- The Dark Moon, Julia Gray
- A Shadow on the Glass, Ian Irvine
- The Shanghai Murders, David Rotenberg
- The Green Mile and The Dark Tower IV, Stephen King

(again, all books are softcover unless otherwise noted, which...no, none of these are)

DVDs:

- The Fast and the Furious
- Chasing Amy
- The Alf Files (don't...ask)
- Romeo and Juliet (DiCaprio version)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I suck for being so difficult. I guess I've spent too much time at real swap meets, arguing people down!

But I'll take The Shanghai Murders. And if you want to throw in your book of poetry, too, I'd love to read it!

Wanna send me your address? trinityofone AT livejournal DOT com

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'll send my info momentarily!

Also:

And if you want to throw in your book of poetry, too, I'd love to read it!

Oh, it's just one poem! It's in a journal put out by our University and is *apparently* well-respected. Liz and I made a pact that we would both submit this year, and we both had one poem published. Another of my friends is in it, too.

But it is pretty freaking exciting for me, to be published, even a little bit! Especially something I wrote 2 years ago...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I got your e-mail and sent you my info, too!

And hell yeah, it's exciting to be published. You should be thrilled. Congrats!

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ;)

[darcydodo]

Melanie Rawn's 'The Dragon Prince' series, which is apparently like The Dragonriders of Pern, which I have never read.

Speaking as someone who's read both, they're Nothing At All like each other. :)

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Haha! That's good to know. I haven't read *either*, so, you know.
