Somewhat delayed, but here is the turtle now...

I found this community during the Spotlight, but thought I'd wait for the craze to die down before posting, so here it is...

Name:   I usually go by "Beth" online

Age:   23

Location:    Canada

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender)     I like to use the term 'crooked' - I am female

Interests/hobbies:  crafting, reading, writing, video games, computer games, board games, animals, riding horses, swimming, skiing, rollerblading, baking, anime, cosplay - also, I have very cute pet rats (I don't care if this squicks you, so long as you let me know so I don't send you the cute photos)

Favourite books:  Walter Farley, Into the Land of the Unicorns, Mercedes Lackey, Terry Pratchett, Anne McCaffery

Favourite films:  I tend to like the clever children's movies like Wall-E, Despicable Me, The Dark Crystal...  that sort of thing  Also, I'm a big fan of Anime - my current favorite is 'Durarara!'

Favourite music:  There is very little I don't like, but my current favorites are Epica, Nightwish, Camelot and the people who did "Canadian Please"

What would you like to send/receive?:   Letters, photos, small things of interest- handmade things - surprises are always fun

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:  Anyone who's looking for a friend

What countries would you like to recieve mail from and send to?:   Probably best if its mostly from Canada, since postage is crazy and I like to send/recieve packages. I am okay with sending flat letters just about anywhere else, though.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to recieve?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts")   Oh, I really hate the smell/taste of mint, or bananas- also I'm not a huge fan of pastel yellow or any shade of pink. 

What would be in your dream letter or package?:  Something fun, something pretty, something inspiring, something that you think is wonderful that we can talk about

Anything else you'd like to add?:  I'm looking forward to having someone to talk to - it really sucks to be lonely.

Picture (optional):    I'm not really big on putting my photo online, but if we get along I might send one by snail mail.

You left a comment on my posting, so I had to come check out your post :)

Rats are wonderful! I, for one, would love cute photos of your rats, if we write to eachother. I've had pet gerbils and mice over the years, so yeah, quite a fondness for the rodents here.

Also, your taste in music! Hooray!

[beth-ashke.livejournal.com]

It's always great to come across someone who likes similar music- especially if it's a band that isn't really so widely known!

Let me know if you want to get some snail-mail going and I'll PM you. :-)

My apologies for the slight delay; I am up for snail-mail for SURE! Let's do this :D

oh goodness you have ratties?! 8D I think they are so adorable, and most of them I've met are very affectionate. :3 I'm actually getting a hedgehog in the next couple weeks, so if you don't mind getting cute hedgie pictures, I would absolutely love rattie ones. <3

This next year I'll be living by myself while I finish my last year of college, and most of my friends have graduated already (since I'm going for a fifth year). This year is going to be lonelier for sure, so I would really love having something to look forward to at the mail box besides bills. I definitely would love to be your penpal. :) I know shipping costs are kinda ridiculous, but I always budget in for mailing goodie packages every once in a while to friends and people I write to.

I'll PM ya ^___^

The rat in your userpic certainly is cute; is it one of yours?

[beth-ashke.livejournal.com]

No, unfortunately, it isn't one of mine- all the photos I have of my girls don't really work for icons. I can never bear to shrink them since they loose so much resolution!
My first rat looked alot like this one, though- she died about this time last year.
