queermail | (no subject)

Hiya. So I posted earlier when the community was spotlighted, and I went from being overwhelmed with replies to not hearing from anyone in a while. Admittedly it took me kinda long to reply, so it's not really anyone's fault, but I'd like to give it another shot and make even more friends even if my old ones end up getting back to me. Last time I was all about the email, but this time I am looking for a friend to send letters too. Letters are so meaningful, I feel, and the anticipation is addicting.

But here I am again! I hope to meet some cool peeps.

Name: Alex

Age: 18

Location: Staten Island, NY

How do you identify?: Female, Pansexual

Interests/hobbies: Reading, writing, Biology, History, photography, art, film, animals, traveling, foreign languages, meeting new people, being LOUD, fashion

Favorite books: Lolita, Tropic of Cancer, The Sand Child, The Little Prince, Atonement, The Amber Spyglass, The Elephant Vanishes, How We Are Hungry

Favorite films: Slumdog Millionaire, Atonement, Tropic Thunder, The Orphanage, Henry & June, Everything Is Illuminated, The Fountain

Favorite music: The Decemberists, Kate Bush, Clinic, Jack's Mannequin, Leonard Cohen, Lady Gaga, The Smiths, Bishi, Patrick Wolf, Neutral Milk Hotel

What would you like to send/receive?: Handwritten or typed introspective and/or zany letters. Email is cool as well, but I'm really digging snail mail atm.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone really!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! International chaps are always fun, but for fear of postage I request international chaps only email me.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: I don't think I would mind receiving anything.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Photos of the pen pal and various friends/family/pets special places, a cultural/local knick knack, a poem or story written just for me! Also a POSTCARD.

Anything else you'd like to add?: At the moment I have about a month of free time until I go back to school. I am constantly busy when school starts, but I'll always find time to write a letter, though depending on my workload there may be a delay. I am not really expecting it to be too bad though, just if you haven't heard from me in a while do not despair! Also I am absent minded so don't hesitate to nudge me. I also LOVE meeting new people and have absolutely no shame. I like to know the inner workings of people i get to know, and what secret things make them who they are.

Wow, someone from Staten Island, really? Reallly?!! That is sooo long distance from me (I'm in Queens)

Hallo, I felt it was my duty to talk to a fellow female Alex. :3

My full name's Alexandria, but I almost NEVER go by it. XD

You sound like a pretty awesome person and I think we shall be great friends. May I add you if I hadn't already?

You may! Would you like to be pen pals??

I would love to be pen pals! We'll have to start with email, since that's what I'll respond to the quickest and the most reliably. XD

We'll switch to snail mail once I get shipped off to boot camp. XD

I'm sorry I totally lost track of you...shoot me an email at apoptosis46@gmail though and we can start writing.

So I think you sound great.
Would you like to be pen pals?

Yeah, definitely! My email is apoptosis46@gmail.com if you'd like to email me your address and I can email you mine.

Do you have an intro posted on queermail so I have a little bit of an idea of who you are?

NVM I found it!

Oh, okay. I was ready and loaded with the url and everything, incase you didn't find it.
Hahaha. I hope that didn't make me sound desperate. I'm just in a good mood. :)
