Queer Mail

Name: Hannah, but all my friends have called me 'Harry' for a very long time

Age: 20

Location: Lakeview, OR, US

How do you identify?: Asexual

Interests/hobbies: There're really too many to name. I love the outdoors, being outside, and gardening, though I'm not too fond of being 'active' (I never did too well with the hiking and fitness jargon). Spending my nights awake and bored on the internet, reading about science-y, geek-y things and general news is the main hobby; I'm always at my computer! I love doing things with my hands, and they need to be kept busy; drawing, writing, knitting, and video game playing help with that greatly. Of course I love music and movies as well! If it sounds fun, it's probably one of my hobbies or interests, really.

Favourite Books: I pick up a lot of random books, but I'm very picky with what I read! And most of the time, I don't remember the authors. But from what I can remember; Every Chuck Palahniuk book, Don't Stop The Carnival, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach, Alfred Hitchcock collections, H.P. Lovecraft collections, Horror Times Ten, (I swear, I'm not just into the horror genre, really!) and many wide, varying graphic novels.

Favourite films: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang; The Gay Divorcee; Jurassic Park; The Tremors series; The Alien series; The original Star Wars trilogy; Haha, I love a lot of really good movies, a lot of really bad movies, and a lot of movies that are so bad they're good.

Favourite music: A lot of strange, strange indie stuff. I'm not elitist and snobby about my music, but the undiscovered and underground usually has the best sound! A quick list, though; Man Man; Mother Mother; Dropkick Murphys; Gorillaz; Laura Marling; Murder by Death; The Minus 5; Neon Horse, a ton of soundtracks from both movies and video games, and all the music my mother brought my up on.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail, most definitely! I'm very shy over email and IM, but writing lets me be more myself. But I love letters, small trinkets, bits of shared life, art and things like that.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone! Unfortunately the only languages I know are English and sign language, and only one of those I can read and write, haha! But I do love the way different languages look, and would love to learn them. Maybe getting a letter in a different language, along with a translation would be nice? But anything is fine!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: All of them! I'm willing to spend the few extra cents, just to be able to say that I've sent letters to different countries!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Drugs, death threats, small rodents, dead things. Those would make me very unhappy, I think. (Except the small rodents, I love them, but my cat loves to eat them just as much.)

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Some small thing somebody found on the ground that day, a nice letter, pictures, movie recommendations, new music, a good book, a hug, an invitation for tea or coffee, art of some kind. Everything is fascinating when it's sent in the mail! Except bills and junk mail, of course.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm in college and living with my mother for summer term, but once I get to the dorms my mailing address will have to change. If there's anyone that wants to exchange letters, I'll be sure to forward the new address along! Also, I really do like meeting new people and learning about their lives, but I'm very, almost cripplingly, shy. Don't let that ward you off, though!
