Yep, it's spotlight time again!
Jun. 21st, 2010 12:10 pmName: Lillian, or Lil
Age: 25
Location: Currently Chesapeake, VA; but that's always subject to change with me. :)
How do you identify?: Ha! Good question! I'd love to tell you, but I've been confusing myself recently... Girls will always be my preference, but some boys are pretty. Seeing as how I'm not dating ANYBODY (male or female) right now, I've decided to worry about it later. :)
Interests/hobbies: Listening to music. Swing dancing, writing (fanfic and original fiction), traveling, cooking (recipe exchange, anybody?), coloring (it's therapeutic), reading. I'd like to get into photography, and I'd really like to learn a couple of languages.
Favourite books: Anything by Nora Roberts, John Grisham, Tamora Pierce, and C. E. Murphy. (If you've never read Urban Shaman, DO SO. Run, don't walk, to the book store and order it!)
Favourite films: You want me to pick? I'm a huge movie/tv buff, so I like the Batman reboots, and the new Star Trek reboot, Transformers is awesome, and I will freely admit I watched that and the Fast and Furious series for the cars. I like Joe vs. The Volcano and When Harry Met Sally. Sabrina (the remake) is my go-to chick flick for when I'm PMSing and need a comfort movie.
Favourite music: YES. ...you need something more specific than that? I like Rob Thomas, and Katie Melua (I could listen to those two forever), I like Christian Kane (that VOICE!), and Ella Fitzgerald. Ray Charles, and who doesn't love Frank Sinatra? I'm a Shakira fan, and I adore Santana and the Wicked and RENT OBC recordings. Ever heard of Flobots? I'm waiting for my (second) copy of Christiane Noll's A Broadway Love Story to come in... AC/DC, Queen, Green Day, Nirvana...
What would you like to send/receive?: *g* I'm always on the lookout for new music, in case you couldn't tell. Cards, recipes (!), funny stories about what happened to you on the way home from ____, "Dear Lils, I have drama, what do I do??"s (I can't promise to give GOOD advice, but I'll listen and be sympathetic and then tell you to be practical), anybody going through any major life changes - losing weight, coming out, trying to change the way you eat, getting out of debt, traveling, switching careers etc, etc.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: You, clearly! <3 Also, it's a long shot, but if there's anybody who participates in the BDSM scene where you live, I'd love to talk to you.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Actually, while I love and adore my American brothers and sisters, I'd really like to hear from anybody overseas. Lillian needs all kinds of friends, kids. Oh, oh! And anybody who grew up in/around New Orleans, I'm looking at you! Specifically those of you who cook. *shameless* But please don't think that if you live Stateside, I'm not going to want to hear from you. Friends! I like friends!
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Mm, nothing that's going to melt in the heat, pretty please. I'm still not used to VA weather and it's pretty warm outside.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: Hee! see above! Anything that shows me something about you. Tell me who you are. Show me pictures of places you like to go. Make me a cd of something you'll listen to for hours on end.
Anything else you'd like to add?: Random, but I am interested in the BDSM subculture, and I would like to talk more about it - so if there's anybody out there who is open to discussing it through letters...
Picture: That's me in the icon.

Date: 2010-06-27 12:11 pm (UTC)Sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I should have mentioned I'm notoriously bad about eljay comments.
Most everything else you can expect a prompt response, but not lj. :P
Recipes! I love recipes! I have a great one for rosemary bread, if you're interested.
I've never heard of The Wet Spots - what kind of music do they play?
Yeah, I'm interested in BDSM, but my problem isn't that I still live at home (though I do), it's that I don't know anybody I trust enough to be that vulnerable with. =\ One of these days I'm going to get over it and just start expanding my horizons, but today is not that day. =P
Anyway, I would love to be penpals! Do you want to email first or just go straight to snail mail? Why don't you email me at tarnishandtears [@] gmail [.] com and let me know?
Hope you're having a great weekend!
