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!

I would love to receive your mail! And really, I'd have to agree with you, we're a rare breed. :< It's hard trying to explain to people about something like being asexual, without just getting a weird look and an 'eehhhh?'. I'd love to be able to talk to somebody that knows what I'm saying!

[xxyour-momxx.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I forgot if I ever gave you my address or not! :< I'm sorry, I'm very forgetful!

If I didn't, just tell me, and I'll be sure to do that right away!

Ha, you sound really interesting. A lot of people aren't into the music their parents listen to, but it's neat to see that I'm not the only one XD Would you like to swap letters?

[xxyour-momxx.livejournal.com]

Haha, thank you very much! I can honestly say that my mom listened to some absolutely AWESOME music! And of course I'd love to swap letters! Look for my address in your inbox!

I'd like to give you my intro post (http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/116148.html) and would just like to mention that I think you're adorable. Also, it's so interesting to find someone who identifies as asexual; I've always wondered whether or not I should mention that publicly about myself, because I've noticed no one understands asexuality when you try to explain it [which I also saw you mentioned in an above comment, aah!].

Also also, your taste in music is amazing, and my dad brought me up on all sorts of awesome tunes, too. Would you like to swap letters? We can be almost-cripplingly shy together :'D

Haha, thank you, you make me blush! I totally checked out your intro, and your first picture, omg. Anime con, right? Somebody's wearin' a badge and there's a Sasuke Uchiha in the background, has to be. But um, haha. It's so true how asexuality is just one of the hardest things to explain, even if it is just a simple little thing, it's all in the 'why'.

Again, thank you! I barely mentioned a fraction of my music here, I have tons and tons of it! I'm so glad my mom has an awesome taste in music, it's great that your dad did too~! I would love to swap letters, yeah! Send me a pm with your address and you'll get mine in return!
