World Behind My Walls
Jun. 25th, 2010 05:22 pmName: Rachael
Age: 28
Location: England
How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Pansexual, though I usually use the label bi in my normal life because it requires far less explaining. I'm female, but wish I'd be born male. It's rather hard to explain because I don't feel I am a boy, and I don't feel inclined to go through gender reassignment either (for me, that doesn't change the fundamentals), and for the most part I don't mind being a girl at all (I embrace my physical gender, for instance), but there is an underlying something that lies beneath the surface. In an ideal world, if I could choose, I'd be a gay male, which I find hard to wrap my head around sometimes, because I like women too!
Interests/hobbies: Writing is my number one love. I am obsessed with words. I'm writing a trilogy at the moment (fantasy). I write fanfic (currently slash in the Twilight fandom, but I write over a number of fandoms). I spend a lot of time rping with my best friend online (we switch from Harry Potter, to QaF US, to Twilight). I read everything I can get my hands on. I like art, though I don't do it enough to be any good, and I feel there is never enough time in the day. I like making my own journals and notebooks from scratch. I am a massive collector of Harry Potter and Twilight memorabilia - in particular, signed books (and yes, I might be obsessed, but I'm not one of those people who don't think either have faults - by God, do they! So I really don't mind if YOU hate one, or both). I have two male penpals at present, who are both in prison in America - I love snail mail! I'm a big music fan too, and I'm always listening to something. I also like going to the seaside, particularly when it's raining.
My LJ interest list includes: anthony hopkins, backs, books, Brian Kinney, cats, cinema, coffee, Draco Malfoy, geek love, harry potter, intelligence, philosophy, poetry, lady and the tramp, liquid eyeliner, raspberries, religion, scars, sex, slash, sleeping, snow, snowdrops, stars, tattoos, thinking, vampires, vodka, van gogh, writing
Favourite books: Lolita, Great Expectations, Harry Potter, Sophie's World, The Solitaire Mystery, The Magic Faraway Tree series, Twilight series, Exquisite Corpse, Battle Royale, Shiver, Prozac Nation, Party of One, The Hunger Games, anything by Yaoi Press...and many, many more.
Favourite films: Battle Royale, Harry Potter, Twilight, Passion of the Christ (though I'm not religious in the least), The Object of my Affections, Elephant, Thirteen, Dirty Dancing, American History X, Edward Scissorhands, The Breakfast Club, The Goonies, Return to Oz, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, pretty much all horror movies, anything with River Phoenix in, The Crow. And a million more.
Favourite music: I will pretty much listen to anything and everything. Particular favourites include Tokio Hotel, Sigur Ros, Placebo, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson (up until around Antichrist Superstar, in particular), Evanescence, Something Corporate, classical piano music, Adam Lambert, Eminem, The Killers, Matthew Good Band.
What would you like to send/receive?: Anything! I'd prefer to do it via snail mail (though my handwriting is awful!), and I have a load of pretty stationary waiting around to be used, but I am up for emails and AIM eventually.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anybody is welcome - male, female, or any other identification. I'd like people to be over 16 please.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any. I only understand English, however. But if you are able to write only a little English, and you made it through this profile, then that's cool too - there are languages I would love to learn (German and Japanese in particular).
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Doesn't matter.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: Again, doesn't matter. Just receiving a letter is cool enough, though I am more than happy to exchange clippings, gifts, whatever, later on.
Anything else you'd like to add?: Don't be shy! My email is rcgrant82@gmail.com if you don't want to leave a message here.
Picture (optional): Moi!
