queermailName: Amber
Age: 22
Location: Texas, USA
How do you identify?: Female. Sexually, I suppose I am more pansexual than anything. I feel weird using the term, since I’ve only just become aware of it, but it is what it is. My friends also refer to me as a hippy. Free love and all that jazz. While my first and most recent real experience with polyamory… didn’t turn out so well, I still believe that it suits my lifestyle.
Interests/hobbies: I have a sort of coin collection and a book collection. I’m also addicted to reading, insane cooking frenzies, music of almost any kind, art, writing, anime, taekwondo, and zombies. The usual. Oh, and my cat. I’m a crazy cat lady in the making.
Favourite books: The Last Unicorn, Dream of the Red Chamber, Memoirs of a Geisha, Born Confused, the Harry Potter series, and anything by Dorothy Parker. I love most books, just for being what they are - the physical representation of someone’s thoughts, feelings, and fantasies. I find everything about them addicting. My first job was in a used book store, and everything about them, from the smell of the pages to the feel of the binding, makes me feel at home. A little cheesy, yes, but still true.
Favourite films: Labyrinth, The Last Unicorn, Seven Samurai, Gone With the Wind, Public Enemies, Inkheart, I Am Legend, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1974 version), V for Vendetta, Velvet Goldmine, The Company of Wolves, Heathers, anything by George A. Romero, The King and I, etc., etc., etc.
Favourite TV: I honestly don’t watch much TV. My cable box has been unplugged for almost six months, and I haven’t once missed it. There are shows however, that I feel should be mentioned. NCIS, True Blood (Yes, I know, it’s my dirty little vice.), Supernatural, and Star Trek are instant wins. Farscape will always be my one, true love.
Favourite music: Dir en grey, Guns N’ Roses, David Bowie, and Sinatra are always at the top of the list. Rock, of almost any kind. I’m also becoming more open to rap, hip-hop, pop, and techno. Still not a big fan of country music, though.
What would you like to send/receive?: Anything. Snail mail, e-mail, pictures, trinkets, etc. I’ve never had a pen-pal type thing before, so I’m open to just about anything.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone interested in sharing their life. Problems, secrets, moments of extreme happiness, opinions, and so forth.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere in the world.
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: I’m kind of iffy on receiving food… Let’s exchange letters first, then we’ll see.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: A book. Seriously, I love them. Maybe an exotic coin or two.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I’m not a Twilight fan, sorry. I wouldn’t mind being friends with one, but I’m afraid I just won’t be able to share your enthusiasm. Sorry. Also, as I said above, I don’t have any experience with pen-pals or letter writing in general. If it takes a while to get a response, I promise it will get there, I’m just trying to get it right. Also, I am a comma whore. Forgive me that, and I will love you forever.
Picture (optional): Forgive the mess in the back corner. My house is literally a perpetual construction zone.

Date: 2010-06-28 07:14 am (UTC)What kind of anime do you like?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 08:26 am (UTC)And yes, I'm one of those crazies that believes the world will truly end in an undead uprising. Of course, even if it doesn't, if you're prepared for zombies, you're prepared for ANYTHING.
I just noticed your icon and died. I love that movie! :D
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 08:40 am (UTC)Hmmm suggestions, well my absolute favourite series is Black Lagoon (about modern day pirates) because it's so unapologetic. I mean, a lot of anime has been kind of dumbed down for younger audiences but BL is just so blunt and witty. Love it. Other than that I do quite like Hellsing (vampires and zombies... can't go wrong), Elfen Lied and Bleach. But then I probably haven't even scraped the surface of all the awesome anime out there. Anime culture isn't big in this country unfortunately =( Not sure I'd be much help with shojo but like you I'm pretty open to anything.
So true XD I think when the zombies come I'll go and hide out with you, you have the right idea. I'll bring the chainsaw.
Yay someone else who likes Velevet Goldmine! Nobody here has ever heard of it which is a huge shame IMO. Such a wonderful, beautiful movie.
What kinds of coins have you collected?

Date: 2010-06-28 10:36 am (UTC)Have you, by chance, read WWZ? It is a compelling read, to say the least. It's a believable account of how the world is gonna fall to pieces, once an outbreak begins.
And that is a shame about Velvet Goldmine. I'm the only person I know who's seen it, so I can sympathize. People just don't know what they're missing. `
I collect anything that comes my way. I'm not going to lie, my collection isn't terribly impressive. It's mostly a bunch of wheat pennies and foreign coins that people were careless enough to let slip into my cash drawer. It makes me feel a bit like a pirate though, having so many pretty monies. XD
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 11:12 am (UTC)Have you seen the Hellsing movies and the series? I was surprised how different they were...
WWZ ey? No, haven't heard of it, but will definitely check it out, thanks =)
Ahaha feel like a pirate =p Every so often at work someone will try to pay with foregin money (usually from New Zealand which isn't so bad, but sometimes Fiji or Indonesia) which is exciting, but unacceptable :( Do you have any Australian money? We have cute little furry animals on our coins. Well... most of them.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-01 06:07 am (UTC)I don't think I have anything from Australia, no. Furry animals, eh? I'm going to have to look that up. :)
And you definitely sound pretty freaking cool. My email is amber.vulgarism@yahoo.com if you ever feel like writing. I'm also up for snail mail, should you be interested.
Drop me a line sometime. :D

Date: 2010-06-28 09:46 am (UTC)I saw your post here, and you definitely seem pretty cool yourself. :D Especially with liking Sinatra. I mean, seriously, that, in and of itself, is crazy awesome. Not many people our age even know who he is, and that is sad.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 09:39 pm (UTC)Oh yeah, Alan Rickman is just so win. <3 I'm a huge fan, I flew to NYC in April just to see a play his was directing. Thankfully he did a talk before the play and hung out at the stage door afterwards, definitely made the trip worth it.
It is really sad that Sinatra isn't known by a lot of people our age, he's super win. Although, for me, it is more about the songs then the artist. I'm not fan of a lot of artists, mostly I connect with different songs. Sinatra is different though!
Sorry about the late reply.
Date: 2010-07-01 05:56 am (UTC)My email is amber.vulgarism@yahoo.com, if you're interested in corresponding. I would love to hear from you!
friends?

Date: 2010-06-28 10:17 am (UTC)On a side note, I love that you mentioned Jurassic Park as one of your favorite movies. It was grossly underrated. And I feel that I should mention that Batman: The Animated Series is neither stupid nor childish. I'm more of an X-Men: The Animated Series fan myself, but to each their own.
Re: friends?
Date: 2010-06-28 09:48 pm (UTC)Anyway, here's my email: bluejennybird@live.com (I'm rather consistent) and I'm on a lot of the time, so feel free to drop me a line, I'm looking forward to it!
