queermailHello. Newbie here :D
Name: Farah
Age: 22
Location: Perth, Australia. I'm here, studying abroad. I'm originally from somewhere else.
How do you identify?: I'm Negatively Capable.
Interests/hobbies: Music. TV. The BBC. Books. I like all sorts of things and dislike others.
Favourite books: Coin Locker Babies (by Ryu Murakami) among many, many others. I also like poetry, mainly by WB Yeats, John Keats and Dylan Thomas.
Favourite films: I quite like those directed by Peter Greenaway. Generally I'm not into films. I go to the cinema usually to spend time with someone, not for the enjoyment of the film itself. But at the same time I do accept watching films as an escape.
Favourite music: I love the Beatles. I also love Japanese rock. And definitely 80s music. And David Bowie is a god, no arguments.
What would you like to send/receive?: Postcards, letters-- something simple, quaint yet meaningful.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who cares enough to make the time and effort. (Thank you).
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: As the Beatles song go: Here, there and everywhere!
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: I'm a pescatarian, if that helps. But aside from that, I'm happy for anything. Oh and please don't bother with baked goods -- Australian Quarantine is terribly particular unfortunately :(
What would be in your dream letter or package?: A drawing, a doodle, something creative and artistic. Or a simple "HELLO! How are you?" on a postcard where I can reply "GOOD, AND YOU?" on another postcard. (I'm very easily amused.)
Anything else you'd like to add?: Receiving mail is a very big deal for me. Each letter or postcard addressed to authenticates my existence. It's a bit sad, but that's how I truly feel. I love snail mail.
Thanks, and I hope to hear from someone soon...? :)

Oh and I just re-read you post. Is being a pescatarian difficult? Because I'm thinking of becoming one, but I'm not sure how much it might inconvenience my family, seeing as they have to eat dinner with me all the time.

Date: 2010-06-27 03:38 am (UTC)For me, being a pescatarian wasn't a problem because I've never been a big eater of any kind of meat. My mom's into healthy eating because my mom's family has a history of diabetes so she's cautious. She prefers to cook white meat (fish/chicken) so we'd have red meat maybe 3-4 times a month. I turned pescatarian when I started uni three years ago. It was so easy because giving up meat wasn't a big deal since there was not much to give up. I don't miss it. And I don't plan to be a full vegetarian anytime soon either because I love my tuna and seafood way too much. 8Db
Changing your diet is a serious lifestyle change, especially if you're still living with your family and you guys eat together. (My mom keeps forgetting my diet when I fly home to visit her but she understands :P) My best friend is pescatarian and we live together and I cook our meals and do the food shopping so it's easy. :)

Date: 2010-06-27 04:11 am (UTC)Well, I discovered his other stuff by way of House so it's not that bothersome; although I love squeeing while watching House and I see a "George-face" as I call them or a bit of a lilting tone.
Yeah, I figured I'd wait until uni. It just seems altogether healthier and there's still so many delicious opportunities you can't be doing yourself a disservice. Besides I love Asian cooking and there are cinary miracles in store ussing fish and greens. 'Could not live without tuna, agree. Yum! The other meats are good, but my pLette is slightly ruined by the same meats, the same days every week for years on end.
