Name: I usually go by Jonnie (as you can see by my awesomely-simple userpic).
Age: 20.
Location: MI, USA
How do you identify?: Male, homosexual (leaning asexual)
Interests/hobbies: I really, really, really love foreign languages (top three: German, French, and Dutch); I love music; I play flute and I compose when I have to time to (i.e. not much lately)—mainly for piano, which I ironically can't play; I write stories when I acutally have time to.
I also really like cats, yo.
Favourite books: Stephen King!, practically any book in German (and sometimes French), and also books with gay themes (mainly romance, because...well, haven't found much else). I read a lot online, actually.
Favourite films: Don't really watch movies much, at all, but I usually really like horror movies, as well as German/Germany-themed movies, Harry Potter too, for some reason. Most of the time, the way I decide to watch a movie is to ask, "Is one of my favorite actresses/actors in it?" or, "Does it look scary?" Like Saw.
Favourite music: Rammstein, Björk, lots of classical, hard rock/metal, practically anything in a foreign language (see a pattern here?), electronica, and some other stuff. Meh. I'm kind of picky about music, I love it, but not a lot of it.
What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail would be fine, although I'd probably prefer email.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anybody who's fine with my social-ineptness, for one. And I'd really like to send/receive mail from German and French speakers (maybe even Dutch), although I don't know how many native speakers are a part of this community.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: From practically anywhere. From Germany (and France, Canada) would be really, really cool too. Although maybe time-consuming and expensive. (That's why email is so A-W-E-sum!) I guess airmail might solve that problem, though.
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Can't really think of much.
What would be in your dream letter or package?:A boyfriend (ha ha, I kid). Maybe music I could play; compositions would be really cool to send back and forth! Or stories to read, etc.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I am incredibly shy and bad at talking to people! But I thought that I would try this anyway, 'cause it's a cool idea and I'm usually better at writing to people than talking to them anyway. I'm a little worried about boring people (like this post, srsly, I can't leave interests and stuff to one-word descriptions, I don't know why!), so sorry if I do, I guess! D:
Picture (optional): Maybe if you ask, I'll point y'all to one/send one.

I'm a bi girl (who leans towards asexuality) from Canada!

Date: 2010-08-27 01:23 am (UTC)Ich kenne nichts von dem Weimarer Republik, also Dinge aus dieser Periode wäre toll (besonders GLBT-Musik). Und „Mädchen in Uniform“ sieht ja toll aus.
Einstürzende Neubauten habe ich nachgeschlagt...eigentlich mag ich sie nicht. Sehr...seltsame Musik. Gut, ja, aber nicht mein Ding.
Ich habe Musik von The Smiths gehört (okay, eigentlich nur ein Lied, aber ein sehr gutes Lied, Suffer the Children). Ich habe eigentlich vergesen, dass Morrissey asexuell war.
