[frozen-maeum.livejournal.com]

Name: Kenta. Yes, that's my name. Really.

Age: 18

Location: California

How do you identify?: Queer/Male

Languages: English, Korean, Japanese

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, of course. Pictures would be fun too; maybe pictures of nearby places... Anything, really. I left out the questions that prompt me to ultimately talk about myself because I'd like to save most of that for the letters. However, an introduction is needed, isn't it? 2010 high school graduate. Young, I know, but I have big dreams and a strong mentality. I have a boyfriend. I'm going to attend community college to get the pre-requisites done--a university is too costly for me at the moment, but I was accepted into the school I wanted to go to (insert sad face here, haha--I wish I had a money tree). I'm generally an easy going person, I believe. I don't want to give too much away. :) I'd like to save it for the letters.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Preferably someone 18 years old or older, but I've really got no specifics.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Dream letter... I don't know. Just a letter that you really open up in. Something that all of your feelings are put into. A letter that feels like an entire person's soul right in the palm of your hand, decorated in a way that portrays the person perfectly.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Even e-mailing is fine as well, if you're hesitant about the letters (though hand written letters are my first choice). E-Mail is protecting.bimil@gmail.com

Name: William; most call me Billy.

Age: 21

Location: North Vancouver, British Columbia. 

How do you identify?: Queer transman.

Status: Committed relationship; engaged.

Interests/hobbies: Well, I'm a nerd and geek sort of awkwardly mushed into one ball. I love to read, write, draw, play video games and cook; recently I've begun repairing and modifying electronics and sculpting. Very avid about fitness, too. I like photography, animals, and staying active; any kind of music at all. Favourites are The Andrews Sisters, Tom Waits, Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Bowie, Enigma, Gogol Bordello, and Rammstein.

Favourite books: She's Come Undone, White Oleander, Precious (I see a theme here), Watchmen, Slaughterhouse Five, Childhood's End, Revolution for the Hell of It, Catch 22

Favourite films: Mulholland Drive, any and all of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series; Near Dark, Fright Night, Thirteen, Frida, The Devil's Backbone.

Favourite music: Oh, god, see above. We'd be here allllllllllllll night

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything! Letters, recipes, photos, little gifts (hand-made, preferably).

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Someone with a similar broad spectrum of interests, or even someone completely different, to keep it interesting.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I'd like to say anywhere, but postage would eat my bank account, so at this point, probably Canada and the US.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: As long as it's not a beating heart in a box, we're cool.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A knitted scarf, or homemade preserves, for a package - dumb stuff like that (lol small town boy). As for a letter, one that's volumes long with plenty to say.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I have pretty strong opinions, though I don't feel any pressing need to shove them down anyone's throat, they're there, and they're intense. I have worked in the sex industry for three years and I still am very connected to it politically and through my network of friends, and this colours a lot of my experiences and aforementioned opinions. Just a heads up!

Me!!!! <3

Name: Jenn

Age: 26

Location: Golden, CO

How do you identify?: Straight, and female. Although I get mistaken for a boy a LOT!

Interests/hobbies: Poetry, books, music, kids, camping, raves/parties, DJ's, English (I'm going to school for my English degree), traveling, and just generally loving life.

Favourite books: Catcher in the Rye. Mmmm love that book! I love Young Adult Literature books as well, and have a list too long of what I love. If you want ideas for a good book, I have many :)

Favourite films: Breakfast Club and horror movies.

Favourite music: I'm a TOTAL music lover, but my fave band is 311, and love EDM/Electronic Dance Music.

What would you like to send/receive?: Emails, IM's from good people, shot glasses from where people live, postcards, bracelets, anything neato :)

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone that is friendly and fun to talk to. No real guidelines :)

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Same as above, anyone that just wants to make friends!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: No pornographic stuff please. Um, other than that can't think of anything!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A neato shot glass, or a book they found incredible.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I am not GLBT myself (although my boyfriend begs to differ and does think I'm bi... I'm not quite there in identifying myself that way) but my sister is lesbian, hence the reason I'm interested in the community. I am extremely pro GLBT rights, always have been even before I met my sister (long story... but we didn't meet in person until 3 years ago). I HATE people that are against GLBT persons or GLBT rights, it's my hot button issue and it ticks me off to no end. I really, really, really can not remain friends with people that are homophobic, so yeah... that's me. :) Feel free to ask me anything if you wish! Oh yeah, I am also the mother to a kickass little girl named Lilyin :) She rocks!

Picture (optional): Will send to anyone that wants.... but have none attached right now.

[twistedmusing.livejournal.com]

Name: Anna



Age: 19



Location: Michigan, USA



How do you identify?: Pansexual. Queer, as in I am female, and I am not feminine, or masculine, but a mix of both and everything in between.



Interests/hobbies: I love to read. I write when the muse slaps me in the face, and I take a lot of photographs. I like anime. I like steampunk. I am a geek, thank you very much. Music is constant. I am, indeed, a pagan, and I’m always looking to learn more about different religions and traditions. I love garage sales, used book stores, and antique stores. I play video games, when I feel like it. I love, love, love musicals and theatre. I am vegetarian. I love traveling.



Favourite books: I read pretty much whatever strikes my fancy. My favourite genres are sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, thriller, and horror. I love Stephen King. I can associate anything with Harry Potter, and I hated the 6th and 7th books. I read a lot. I read quickly. And I re-read and re-re-re-read. I am a bibliophile. I like manga and comic books. James Rollins. Dean Koontz. Heidi and A Little Princess are my two favourite books of all time ever.



Favourite films: Foreign films, Miyazaki, Tarantino. Movies based on musicals/books/other movies. Anime, horror. Um, my favourites would be Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Orphanage, Pan’s Labyrinth, Kill Bill, The Producers, The Bird Cage, Moulin Rouge!, Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, and I could go on and on.



Favourite music: Anything, really. Alternative Rock is my favourite. Emilie Autumn, Billy Talent, The Offspring, Green Day, soundtracks.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, online and/or snail-mail. Whatever, really. I’m flexible. I haven’t written a physical letter in such a long time, and it would be nice to take advantage of the various postal services.


Anything else you'd like to add?: I have depression, anxiety, and I sometimes get panic attacks. I get migraines. I have insomnia, which is why I am writing this as 5:06 AM.

[dielakitty.livejournal.com]

Name: Becky, but I answer to pretty much anything

Age: 19

Location: West Virginia during the summer, upstate New York during the school year

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Pansexual female cuz I'm cool like that.

Interests/hobbies: I'm considered the movie junkie at home, even though I feel really inept the second I start talking to my college friends. I dabble in photography and drawing, and I have a soft spot in my heart for absurdist theatre. I crochet and like sewing. I'm a casual video gamer, I still wake up early on Saturday mornings looking for some decent cartoons.

Favourite books: My copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes with me pretty much everywhere. I'm also pretty fond of Piers Anthony's Xanth stories, the Artemis Fowl series, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Tithe by Holly Black is pretty awesome too. I think I've read The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick about a million times since I got it when I was twelve.

Favourite films: Uh, Pan's Labyrinth? My favorite movie changes a lot. It usually pops between that, Rocky Horror Picture Show, a Simon Pegg flick, Unmade Beds, Ten Inch Hero, and The Lord of the Rings (when I can get the patience to sit through them all). Oh, and Elephant. I'm kind of a film major and spend a lot of time just sitting around and watching things.

Favourite music: I'm usually pretty all over the place with my music, listening to emo to speedcore to rap. I tend to stick to alternative rock and various forms of electronic music though. (My absolute favorite band is Ludo, and I love them very much. I am also beginning to be absurdly fond of Karate High School.)

What would you like to send/receive?: Just normal letters would be fine, but I have a tendency to stick random things into the envelope along with the letters. Anything from a silly doodle I did during the day to a paper clip I was playing with and probably named. You are free to do the same or send more normal things if you wish.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Awesome people. Really, someone that won't get scared off if I start to ramble and say weird things about how weird the word weird is and how awkward the word awkward is.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! It's exciting to get mail from places that are far away (or close -- I often forget that there are cool things closer to home).

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Um, the standard, creepy, "you do not send these through the mail" kind of things. Or olives, but I'm not sure if you can even mail olives.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: One with a bunch of doodles all over it, even if they're just stick people. And maybe scratch-and-sniff stickers of fruit.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I never know what to say when I get to the part where I'm supposed to add something. I can't ever think of something I haven't already covered, except that this is where I usually warn people that I'm kind of awkwardly hyper a lot.

Picture (optional): I actually don't have any recent pictures of myself. This one was from a few months ago, and now I've gone and pretty much chopped my hair off and dyed it orange and pink. Also, yes. Braces. They'll be gone soon, though.

Mermaids?

[georgieludovic.livejournal.com]

Name: Helen

Age: 20

Location: UK

How do you identify? Female. Queer in as far as it means ‘not confined to heterosexual norms’. I actually spend most of my time being heterosexual. But I have many LGBTQ friends, and a lot of people assume I’m gay.

Interests/hobbies: writing, politics, mermaids, coffee, reading, cats, red wine, cooking, cooking with red wine, philosophy, driving, more mermaids, the sea, the sea!

Favourite books/authors: I’m an English graduate. So naturally my favourites are Diana Wynne Jones, Meg Rosoff, Robin McKinley, Chris Wooding... (I mean, I also like Milton, Shelley, Defoe, Lawrence and all. And Angela Carter who’s sort of the middle ground. And Beowulf.)

Favourite films: A. Knight’s. Tale. Fact.

Favourite music: I like folk guitar and 80s beats. I like mad women with gigantic red hair who sing nonsensical lyrics. I like cheesy rock and experimental jazz classical shizzle, and, y’know, like, stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. I don’t like Coldplay.

What would you like to send/receive?

• Mix CDs. I really need some decent driving mix CDs (the sort of thing that makes you put your foot on the pedal and recklessly overtake unwitting cyclists).
• Stories (or plays, or poems, but not emo pomes pls kthx.)
• Pictures. Specially mermaids. And cats, maybe? Mercats?
• Recipes for stuff I won’t have cooked. I like spicy food. If it doesn’t include chilli, I will add chilli.
• Book recommendations (if you didn’t get that ^, it was YA fantasy. Also sci-fi, magic realism, anything clever, and anything that messes with genre norms. Gratuitous gritty realism and books about writers with writer’s block flip me off. I guess I’m book-queer too).
• Actual letters work as well. I also like surprises. And no, “surprises” does not mean pictures of cock.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from? Anyone capable of being interesting : P ? I’ll try to be interesting back.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to? ANYWHERE. Dear god let me escape from this hole!

[rileys-life.livejournal.com]

Name: Riley (Kota) Lee

Age: 17.

Location: Currently Sharon, Massachusetts. But I moved up here from Fairfax County Virginia, and before that Tulsa, Oklahoma.

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) FtM transgendered asexual/pansexual.

Interests/hobbies: Video games, reading, the woods, cats, good music, blogging, short stories, ice cream, Six Flags, goldfish, foreign movies, cold weather, hoodies, long books, trains, debates, Halloween, Powder Toy, rodents...the list goes on. :3

Favorite books: There are way too many for me to list in this. I'll read almost anything. A few of my favorites are The Wheel of Time series, Night of the Wolf, and My Side of the Mountain. I do however have a lovely collection of webcomics that I read: xkcd, penny-arcade, questionablecontent, tree lobsters, rock-paper-cynic, khaos komix, twokinds, slightly damned, misfile, taiki, and queer.

Favorite films: I really like ridiculously dumb horror movies. Kind of like Nowhere and Bug. Stuff from the 90's that's just so over the top is hilarious. I also enjoy movies like Old Boy and SLC Punk. And musicals are awesome as well (although I detest Glee). Sweeney Todd (the original, not the Johnny Depp one) and Into the Woods are among my favorites.

Favorite music: I listen to mainly poppunk and hardcore. I don't know too many bands that play anywhere outside of Mass because I really only go to local shows. My favorite band right now would be A Loss for Words with Four Year Strong coming in second. Recently a friend of mine has turned me on to some kinds of metal and so I've been broadening my music library a bit.

What would you like to send/receive?: I prefer snail mail over email, but of course I'd be willing to email as well. I love sending drawings and little gifts and stuff, and I usually annoy the mail carriers by mailing things to people in non-standard boxes (like Pocky boxes).

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone really. I think it would be interesting to hear from another transguy from somewhere else in the world because the only ones I know live locally so our stories are very similar. But I'm always open to talking to just about anyone. :3

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any and all. If you live out of the US I may not mail as many trinkets and stuff because it gets expensive but I still will!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Nah. Even if I get hate mail or porn I just think it's hilarious and move on.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Hmmm. This one is hard because I could take it in so many ways. One of my favorite things to read about is adventures that people go on. I write a lot about what I've been doing on a daily basis and I love hearing those stories from people too. I also really like drawings and stickers. As far as a package goes, anything really. I'm always really happy to have received ANYTHING that the actual content doesn't even matter to me.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Not particularly. Feel free to add me on LJ or send me an email (unvoicednothing@yahoo.com) and we can figure whatever out. :)

[ignatius-sparke.livejournal.com]

Name: Beth (Hi!)

Age: 16



Location: UK

Relationship status: Single Pringle.

How do you identify?: The so-called 'fairer' sex (although the biggest tomboy you've ever met, so maybe even genderqueer)/big fat GAYLORD - I've seen Meet The Fockers recently :P - so yep. Very very gay (I intensely dislike the word 'lesbian' for some reason).



Interests/hobbies: LJ owns my life, as does my iPod; veggiemalarian (vegetarian for any non-goofballs out there); writer; photographer; guitarist; singer; non-stop talker; giggler (I laugh loudly and often); learning new languages; meeting new people *cough, hint hint, cough*; travelling; learing about new cultures (particularly Asian - Singapore, China, Japan, India, Vietnam... you get the idea); wannabe interpreter; World Cup enthusiast; Manchester City supporter; David Bowie maniac; Dave Days (I love his videos, he cracks me up); comic-reader (and occasionally drawer/writer); Freddie Mercury fangirl. I LOVE HIM.



Favourite books: I read whatever I can get my hands on. I even read the dictionary when I was seven, for wont of something better to do. I like the His Dark Materials trilogy, the Artemis Fowl books, absolutely anything by Neil Gaiman (although his collaboration with Charles Vess - Stardust - and Neverwhere are particular favourites!), Chocolat, Five Quarters of the Orange and Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell's Edge Chronicles/Muddle Earth, Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, SPUD, the Georgia Nicolson series (Angus, Thongs & Full-Frontal Snogging, Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas etc.) by Louise Rennison, Ballet Shoes, Chinese Cinderella, Lirael, Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire, Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown... I could go on and on.



Favourite films: Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd (I'm a total sucker for a good musical), Pirates of the Caribbean, Austin Powers, The Boat That Rocked, Lord of the Rings, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Breakfast On Pluto, Stardust, In Bruges, Love Actually (and a sucker for a good rom-com. Love Actually is my all-time favourite movie, I think)...

 That's all I can think of for now.

Favourite music: Classic rock/rock'n'roll. The Beatles, The Kinks, AC/DC, GN'R, The Steve Miller Band, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Beatles, The Who, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Dire Straits, Queen (I'm obsessed with Queen.), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard (I used to get them and Led Zeppelin mixed up, IDK why.), Van Halen, Bob Dylan, Elvis... And then Bob Marley & The Wailers, Regina Spektor, Oasis, Razorlight, Mika, Snow Patrol, The Fray, Franz Ferdinand, Mika, Madness, The Darkness, Coldplay, Green Day when I'm in the mood, The Sex Pistols, Eurythmics, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, Blondie, The Killers, Emmy the Great, Laura Marling. And then soundtracks. Loooove soundtracks.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, online and/or snail-mail. It feels like forever since I wrote an actual hand-written letter properly that wasn't for an exam, though, so I'd love to write some of those. My handwriting, though, is very... archaic, really, so you might have trouble reading it. :/

Who would you like to receive letters from?: Anybody who can put up with me long enough! Anybody and everybody, pretty much!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: No Man Utd supporters Just joking, einsteinflygirl :P My parents aren't particularly generous with pocket money, it has to be said... But anyone, anywhere! As long as I can afford postage (and I don't mind saving up, but the letter'll be late if I do) I will write as often as I can!

Anything you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Apart from the obvious (I'm underage, so... No porn or anything sexual, please), food/candy with peanuts, dismembered hands and the like. Not that anyone here would send me a dismembered hand. Or I hope not. Those are my only requests! ^__^

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Music will always be a winner!; funny quotes; photographs of funny street names/signs/tree stump shapes etc.; jokes; newspaper clippings or articles; comics; drawings; writings in other langauges... You name it. 

Anything else you want to add?: This could take a while. I have a tendency to drift off topic and just ramble about the most random things; I say everything that comes into my head; I love Monty Python; I will often spasmodically switch between English and whatever language takes my fancy; I'm very sarcastic sometimes (in Britain, sarcastic/deadpan humour is the best and never fails to amuse)... Um... Oh yeah, there's quite a lot of fanfic on my journal. Just a warning.
That and:

I love Batman. ^^

Picture: Sure thing!

(Curly-haired and mucking around with my camera)
(Wet-haired and smiling geekily)
(My favourite jumper and another dorky smile)
(Goofing about with my phone and being stupid in general)
Ooops, my face hasn't changed... but I've had about half a foot of hair chopped off since then :P It's up around my cheekbones now.

[blaze-villain.livejournal.com]

Name: Kara

Age: 23

Location: West Virginia, East Coast U.S.
 
How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I am a happily married bisexual female. Interests/hobbies: I spend too much time on the internet, on facebook, here and other various places... other than that, I like reading, writing, watching movies, and just generally hanging out. My husband is a pro wrestler (like the stuff you see on TV) so that's fun to do, and of course a lot of my time is occupied taking care of our 3 year old Lizzy Blaze!!

Favourite books: Anything by Neil Gaiman or Storm Constantine. I know it's not well written but when I get bored, I read the Twilight series or the House of Night series. I'm a big fantasy fan. Can't stand romances, or historical novels. I like tween novels a lot because they are so easy to read. But I also like detail-oriented things like LOTR. I'm weird, I guess >.> Just tell me a good story!

Favourite films: I like most horror films and comedies. I like most kid's movies, I'm a kid at heart. Hmmm... my favorites right now are Stepbrothers, Labyrinth, Willow, The Neverending Story, Devil's Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses.... I could go on and on!

Favourite music: I listen to almost anything, from death metal to classical to 90s music. I'm not too big on rap. There's a few songs here and there. Country I can tolerate, but it's not my favorite. I listen to everything and it cycles. Right now, my big favorites are Adam Lambert, The Foo Fighters, Matchbox Twenty, Kings of Leon... and I've been on sort of a Josh Groban kick as well.

What would you like to send/receive?:  I don't have much money, so internet stuffs would be the best thing, with a random letter or poem here and there! Christmas cards, birthday cards, etc! Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone! I have a big fascination with the UK and Italy, so people from there would be amazing. (I think part of it may be their accents, tbh.)

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere over the 'net! I would say for paper letters, packages, etc... just the U.S.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Not really. I think anything would be cool !!!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something that I know they spent time on and they were thinking of me. A cool drawing, an awesome poem, or just a "how are you?" note!!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm not sure what I didn't mention, but you'll find out about me eventually!!!!

Picture (optional): A picture of me is evidently hard to find, so here's the sexiness of Adam Lambert instead!

Name: 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. :)

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...

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.

[batarang.livejournal.com]

Age: 26

Location: Tucson AZ

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender)
Sexuality, queer. Lately I generally fancy androgynous types and am happily domestic partnered with a very sweet genderqueer transboi. Gender is some sort of andro/gq/female amalgamation... I'll just put down queer there as well. Yay big rainbow umbrellas.

Interests/hobbies:
Drag kinging, costuming, reading, collecting and preparing prancy teas, doing art, yoga, sometimes cooking, and of course, writing letters.

Favourite books: Lord of the Rings, Dangerous Angels, The Magicians, The Sandman and pretty much everything else Niel Gaiman ever touched, House of Leaves, assorted Kate Bornstien projects. And I like pretty cookbooks.

Favourite films: Short Bus, Rocky Horror, Repo!, Princess Bride

Favourite music: Kimya Dawson, Sigur Ros, Massive Attack, Mika, Coyote Grace

What would you like to send/receive? Letters! I love long letters. And handmade stuff. And mix cds. Acquiring new LJ friends is nice too.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Pretty much anybody, especially partners of trans people, gender benders, people with big dreams, drag performers, artists, happy people, adventurers, writers... and anyone else who feels like it :) I would also really love to hear stories from queer people who have children, as I am starting to give serious consideration to the family I'd like to have.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Sorry, I spent all my money on glitter and grad school, so I can't send packages internationally. I can probably manage letters though, and e-mail is a definite yes. In the U.S., I can do letters and small packages.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts")
Items with artificial scents, and nasty stuff generally. And nothing that could melt. Tucson is in the desert. It is HOT.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: An interesting letter, and an item that was made or picked out just for me. :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: Yay spotlight! What a cool community. Also, I am a reliable correspondent- if you're expecting something from me and it's not arriving, let me know please :)

Name: Leks

Age: 26, 27 in September

Location: This changes every few months, but currently Texas, England in September for school. And I'm actually from neither.

How do you identify?: Bi. Male. FTM, technically, but I really don't identify with that.

Interests/hobbies: I watch people and then I write about them. I spend a lot of time staring off into space, and more recently, being climbed on by several small children. It's all good. Driving, cigarettes, coffee, books, cemeteries are my chief vices. Lately I've been spending way too much time on DeviantArt. I like comic books, but on a very selective level, and dark, scary, twisted little things make me giddily happy. As do shiny things, as a matter of fact. And Twizzlers.

Favourite books: Neil Gaiman. Other than that, I'll read just about anything, so...

Favourite films: Labyrinth, Seven. Identity, pretty much all of M. Night Shyamalan's and Tim Burton's

Favourite music: John Lee Hooker. Muddy Waters. Nine Inch Nails. Placebo. Linkin Park. Bauhaus. Really a pretty wide variety of things.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters are good. I'm not really picky. I like getting mail. I like connecting with people. Something interesting.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone, really. I'm not that picky.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Really no preference on that one. I can't stay in one country myself, so...

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Nope

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I don't know. I suppose something special and personal, like something that meant a lot to the person sending it or a certain amount of effort had been put into it.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Not at the moment.

Hi everyone! I am glad this community was spotlighted, because I doubt I would've found it without that. :)

Name: Sara

Age: 27

Location: Akron, OH

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I'm bi. Love doesn't know a gender. (but being bi doesn't equal being a slut, like so many people assume..... it's such a negative stereotype that I hate dealing with)

Interests/hobbies: I have two horses, Pik and Ellie. I show Pik in dressage and she's doing M/2nd level, and Ellie is a yearling so she just hangs out at the barn at this point, but she'll hopefully be a Grand Prix dressage horse like her parents both were. I like anime, Hellsing and Cowboy Bebop are my favorites. Sci-fi can be fun, but again, I like Star Wars.... and that's about it. I'm somewhat interested in military history, but definately not to the level of most of the history buffs I've tried to talk to- lol. Outside of work, law school, and the horses, I don't have time for much else!

Favourite books: Harry Potter series (specifically Half Blood Prince), Percy Jackson series (Last of the Olympians), the Thrawn Trilogy, and most other Star Wars novels

Favourite films: Cruel Intentions, The Talented Mr Ripley, Order of the Phoenix

Favourite music: Rock, Alt-Rock, Punk, Metal, with some Rap & Country thrown in for variety.

What would you like to send/receive?: I'd just like to chat with people, either online or through letters. Letters have almost become forgotten, and that art is such a beautiful one.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone that is 1.)over 18, and 2.) thinks I may be fun to write to.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Nothing too naughty.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Just light, happy words from someone. Letters don't need gifts, but a small thing is always nice too.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm busy with working full time, going to law school part time, and the horses. I will respond, I promise. I just don't know how online chatting will work well with my schedule. My photo is in my icon, and I have more on my profile.

Desperately seeking...

I will write longhand if you request but my penmanship sucks OUT LOUD, I am not even kidding. It's your eyesight! I blame the artistic gene...I promise the craftsy/doodle-y part will make up for it.

Let's give this a try.

[vdpangelinan.livejournal.com]

Name: Vince

Age: 18

Location: Silverdale, Washington

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Gay male.

Interests/hobbies: There's so much to put here, but I'll just think of what I've been doing lately- I spend almost 24/7 with my close friends (all 10 of them), we camp, we go to parties, we have spa/movie nights, we try to live life to the fullest basically. On my own I read A LOT.

Favourite books: I think Perks of Being a Wallflower has really changed who I am. I also like the Rainbow Boys series (forgive me hah), Go Ask Alice, and basically all other coming-of-age books. Oh! Harry Potter is also the series that got me to start reading ;)

Favourite films: I love drama mostly. I don't know why, but I think it's because I like how the characters react. They show thoughtfulness and consideration, which is something rare these days. I'd say my favorite films at the moment would be Dorian Gray (most recent one), FAME, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Eating Out, Shelter, etc. It's eclectic and I'm a bit odd, so my movies are scattered haha.

Favourite music: I really do listen to anything that catches my ears. I like Paramore, Boyce Avenue, Plus 44, Sum 41, AVA, Malika Ayane, Emmanuel Moire, Crystal Castles, Bitter:sweet, etc. There's so many artists I like that I can't limit it.

What would you like to send/receive?: I think hand-written letters would be cool. It's just more personal and I've always wanted a pen-pal of sorts.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I would actually prefer boys (around the same age as me). I just want to talk to someone that could relate to me.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: No preference.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") I'm down to receive anything.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I would love to receive something that was really personal to the sender. Like a ring or necklace or something. I'd want it way later though, to show that I really did make a new friend somewhere out there in the world.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I don't really know how this community works, so forgive me if I did something wrong :P

[nodense.livejournal.com]

Name: Ari

Age: 18, entering second year of college

Location: Between Rochester, NY and Amherst, MA (woo, college)

How do you identify?: Female... something. I like women, and I'm attracted to men, but I don't know if I could ever have a relationship with one. However, every time I try to make a decision, I always turn out to be wrong.

Interests/hobbies: Drawing (especially portraits, especially with charcoal), painting, reading books/fanfic/comics/manga, singing, musical theater, theater tech, farming (especially organic), loooooong walks (not kidding, during the summer I usually walk between 3 and 10 miles a day), biology (with a concentration in marine biology/infectious diseases), chemistry, physics (especially quantum, in that I think it's awesome, but I don't think I can grasp anything beyond the basics) knitting, listening to people talk about subjects they're passionate about, and trying to make the world a better place.

Oh, and of late, playing way too much Pokemon. XD

Favourite books: (in no particular order) Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tamora Pierce novels, East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Harry Potter (especially Order of the Phoenix), Lord of the Rings, the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling, Party Monster by James St. James, Mama Day by Gloria Naylor, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris.

I also have an unabashed love for shitty, shitty sci-fi and fantasy novels.

Favourite films: (also in no particular order) Little Miss Sunshine, Brick, The Boondock Saints, Iron Man, But I'm A Cheerleader!, My Neighbor Totoro, The Brothers Bloom (!! I love this film so much), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Aladdin, The Aristocats, SyFy original movies

Favourite music: I love music. I love music in all shapes, sizes, and genres. I like anything so long as it makes me happy, and that can range from Ludacris to Panic! at the Disco to Okkervil River to Weezer to Taylor Swift to Vivaldi, and anything in between.

Currently, I think my favorite bands go something like this. (Still in no particular order!) The Arcade Fire, Fall Out Boy, Old Crow Medicine Show, Cobra Starship, MC Lars, Bare: A Pop Opera, The Decemberists, Sloan, The Matches, Stars, My Chemical Romance, Sufjan Stevens, The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, Spring Awakening, Paul Simon, This Is My Suitcase, RENT, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Mountain Goats, Lady Gaga, Tegan and Sara, and Final Fantasy. Also, top 40 radio, 'cause it's the best to listen to while driving around with friends. :)

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, small packages, mix-cds, exchange of art... anything, really. :)

Also, as I said in my interests section, I love listening to people talk (or write, in this case!) about subjects they're passionate about. It doesn't even really matter the subject. If it's something I can talk about back, great! If not, then I can be a genuinely interested ear.

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

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Sadly, English speaking countries only (or people from other countries who know English). :( Not-knowing-other-languages fail.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything mean? But I guess that's kind of obvious. Otherwise, I'm down with whatever.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Enough money to pay for college? :P But other than that... I guess, just, something that makes me grin and reminds me of how people are awesome.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Nope, I don't think so!

Diana Waves to All

[dclarion.livejournal.com]

Name:  I am Diana Clarion

Age:  Six weeks older than Sputnik, and damned proud of every minute of it. If you do the math, that makes me a month shy of 53.

Location:  Right next to Pittsburgh PA

How do you identify?:  Lesbian transwoman, although I'd jump Scott Carpenter in a millisecond. I don't care that he's 85 years old.

Interests/hobbies:  Call me an omniphile, I'm interested in just about everything. Special interests include space exploration, the histories of sacred scriptures, UNIX systems programming, embroidery, neurobiology, urban farming, jewelry making. Oh, and I have an almost religious devotion to the Apollo XI mission. Neil and Buzz landed on my birthday. They did that just for me, you know.

Favourite books:  Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessel, the Sherlock Holmes stories, anything by Stephen Jay Gould and Douglas Hofstadter.

Favourite films:  Das Boot, The Great Race, anything featuring Kay Parker.

Favourite music:  Beethoven. I also have a special place in my heart for Baroque, jazz, the Russian composers, Tom Lehrer, and Weird Al Yankovic.

What would you like to send/receive?:  Depends a lot on the recipient/sender, I guess. I'm pretty open.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:  Yes.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:  Elbonia and the Grand Duchy of Fenwick. Seriously, pretty much anywhere. I'm pathologically fluent in English and decent in German. Corresponding with people at the Antarctic research stations would be fantastic.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Closeups of masculine genitalia.

What would be in your dream letter or package?:  A really sweet lady, wrapped in cellophane.

Anything else you'd like to add?:  A rack. Oh, you mean “add to this intro”. Hell, I don't know. Let's see, I start HRT in a week. Is that a good thing to add? And I guess that if you are adventurous, you could wander over to my personal web site.

Guess which one is me.

Introduction Post.

[smudge-rat.livejournal.com]

Name: Natalie

Age: 21

Location: England

How do you identify?: Bisexual female

Interests/hobbies: Writing and drawing - I'd like to become a published author but the drawing is just for fun (and I'm not very good). I'm a science fiction fan and an animal lover. I also quite like Manga and Anime, but haven't really got into many fandoms. Oh, and I'm not sure whether I should admit this, but I'm a Pokemon fan too.

Favourite books: My favourite authors are Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. I'm also a fan of Lovecraft and I'll give any dystopian fiction a read. I've just finished an English degree, so I've read quite a range of books and I'm very into reading.

Favourite films: Jurassic Park, The Lion King, Star Wars (more the original trilogy than the later trilogy). More recent films that I've enjoyed include Sherlock Holmes, Dorian Gray and UP.

Favourite music: Rock/Metal, but I'll listen to pretty much anything.

What would you like to send/receive?: I guess emails would be easier to start with, but I like the idea of having a penpal. I'm changing my address soon, so maybe not until then. As for physical objects, stuff like mix CDs and pictures/photographs would be cool.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Someone I can talk about random things with. Conversations with me tend to turn geeky, so someone who shares my interests would be ideal.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: My only concern is the cost of postage, so it would depend on how far away they were and what we were sending. Anyone in Europe would probably be ideal.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Um... anything unhygenic? Like dead animals or blood samples. Not that I think anyone here would be crazy enough to send that stuff. Anything sexual is OK, but not what I'm looking for.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something that the other person had put thought into, like a story, poem or picture. Alternatively, a whole bunch of food from another country - stuff that you can't get here.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I have a boyfriend. I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but in an LGBTQ community, I guess people might assume otherwise. So I just wanted to cover that.

Picture (optional): I'll send you one if you get in contact. Not that I'm ugly or disfigured or anything, just that I'd rather not share on a public forum.

Name: Caitlin

Age: 21

Location: Connecticut, home of golf, snow and boredom. Also an awesome place to buy used books.

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I'm a bisexual female though I lean more towards dating girls. I've been dancing in singleville for a while now.

Interests/hobbies: Writing, reading, sleeping, swimming, collecting various things such as: liquor bottles, Hello Kitty stuff, Stars Wars stuff, action figures (spike, Doctor Who, Watchmen), comic books, candles, and pens and pencils.

Favourite books: Dresden Files (Jim Butcher), Sookie Stackhouse series (Charlaine Harris), Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia Woolf), The Hours (Michael Cunningham), anything by Stephen King (I'm a Stephen King whore). I mostly read science fiction and horror, but I have been known to branch out. I'm not a big fan of romance novels. Including a certain Mormon romance series that shall not be named.

Favourite films: I love cheesy horror films. The worst and silly awful, the better.Plus bad movies equal rifftrax. I'm a Star Wars nerd as well. A couple of faves include Fight Club, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Watchmen, Sherlock Holmes.

Favourite music: I love all kinds of music. It'd be quicker to list things I don't like. Death/Screamo metal (with a couple exceptions), and hardcore rap. If its got a good beat, I'll probably listen to it, even if the lyrics are shit. My favorite artist is, by far, Meat Loaf.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters if fine. Right now, money is a bit tight (I haven't found a job and I had to quit college for awhile.) so sending packages would be a bit difficult.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: A British red head would be nice. Just kidding. I don't care. Anybody who's willing to talk to a nerd I guess.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Well, the U.S. would be easier, but I do love those brits! And other countries.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") If anyone sends me food, please no peanut butter. I'm allergic.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Dream letter? GLITTER!!!!!!!!!!! Dream Package? Brownies and booze. Just kidding, again.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Um, I'm not entirely sure what else to add. I've lived in Connecticut most of my life. I was supposed to go to University this fall, but money became a serious issue and I can't go. So now I have to wait a year and see if I can get a job and a loan. I want to get a degree English and work at a publishing house. Have a house in the woods with a few dogs and a few ferrets.

[andufus.livejournal.com]

Name: Andy

Age: 16

Location: Maidenhead, England

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Gay/Male

Interests/hobbies: Oh shit. I hate things like this. I panic because I like SO much stuff. Performing is great, so that covers singing, acting and dancing, I want to be an author when I'm older and I love to write/read, Philosophy always interests me and, as sad as it sounds, I collect little cliche quotes and phrases like "You are a victim of the rules you live by".

Favourite books: Hm. Anything by Garth Nix or Trudi Canavan. I love "The Hobbit" but am not such a big fan of the Lord of the Rings. I'm really keen on books about coming-of-age and being different. I'm trying to expand my literature collection but so far it's not going so well!

Favourite films: Aha, not trying to be a stereotype, but musicals. Shelter is great, Kiss the Bride was pretty damn good, Orphan is interesting, and I love animated stuff. Oh, and you can never beat Disney!

Favourite music: Hmm. It changes, to be honest. That's not to say "oh I like everything" because, well, I don't. I love bands that aren't similar. I love Colbie Caillat, Paramore, Jason Mraz, Mayday Parade and Adam Lambert, just as a quick example from opening my Spotify. I like a variety, but anything a bit too one genre isn't really my style. I like a mix. :)

What would you like to send/receive?: Mix CDs, Photographs, anything handwritten. I just love the personal feel of it. :)

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Who would like to receive mail from me? ;D

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I'm a bit weary of cost. Anywhere outside of Europe I'd prefer emails but anywhere in Europe, snail mail is awesome. :D

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Anything that you wouldn't want your parents reading. That goes for older people too :P

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something that truly shows me who you are. A doodle, a photograph, a poem, a really long handwritten letter or something like that. :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: Um. Say hi to meee :)

[glitz-scream.livejournal.com]

Name: Helena [I also go by Steph, Hellie, or Dawnne]

Age: 19

Location: BC, Canada

How do you identify?: I'm a bisexual woman. Right now I'm definately more into girls [there's only three guys that I know who I would get involved with on any level other than friendship].

Interests/hobbies: Music, writing, and reading keep me sane. Music has always been a huge part of my life [I've played cello and piano since grade 4, and I love to sing]. Writing is really what keeps me going, and I write across the board: poems, songs, short stories, fanfiction, and original fiction.

[squarepegparker.livejournal.com]

Name: Sarah / Sazi

Age: 20

Location: England

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Bisexual, for the moment. Though I’m thinking I’m going to start identifying as Undefined simply because... well because.

Interests/hobbies: Writing, drawing, watching films and criticizing the crap out of them, reading, being on the internet, often get myself into sports for short amounts of time before I lose interest or my playing partner stops coming with me! Singing and dancing around an empty house, walking aimlessly around places, photography, cosplaying, sewing in general etc. (weirdly pressured to have a bunch of fascinating interests simply because these type of things ask for them...)

Favourite books: Oh God, so many. Authors I really like are Raymond E. Feist, Trudi Canavan, Philip Pullman (I want to be him), George Orwell, Aphra Behn, Hanif Kureishi, Lewis Carrol, C.S. Lewis, The Brothers Grimm, J.K. Rowling (she’s got to make it onto here since she inspired me to write as a child!), Neil Gaiman... Being an English Literature student I have about a million more favourites XD And Juliet Marillier! I can't believe I forgot her previously! One of my all time favourites~

Favourite films: A bunch of old musicals, pretty much everything made by Disney and Pixar, Sherlocke Holmes, Star Trek, Juno, Enchanted (I guess that comes under Disney, though...), 27 Dresses (I can’t believe I love it so much, I just do)

Favourite music: Pretty much everything. Mostly into musicals, Disney music, movie soundtracks (particularly obsessed with the soundtrack from How To Train Your Dragon)

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere!

[dirtywaltzing.livejournal.com]

Name: I'm silly and like to take time before I tell anyone my name on the internet. Security measure, I suppose. Hope that's cool with everyone. Especially since I plan on posting a picture and that seems to contradict the not telling my name and all. :D

Age: 19

Location: CA, U.S.

How do you identify?: Pansexual Bio-female. Lately I've been questioning my inner gender.

Interests/hobbies: Writing! Reading. Acting. Singing. Creating. Destroying. Sketching. Wearing copious amounts of eye glitter. Being contradictory.

Favourite books: I love to read. If it fits this criteria, then it's a favorite:

I've yet to find something that does all of these things at once, but I'm open to suggestions.

Favourite films:
I will always have a love in my heart for movies that take me to another place. When I'm watching a movie, I could be doing any of the following: looking for the message, admiring the costumes, getting lost in the story, analyzing the characters, carefully observing the acting, thinking about the lighting, wondering about motivation, etc, etc.

There's no way I could ever give a full scope.

What would you like to send/receive?: I love having a penpal. I had a great one for a bit, but that fell apart. Generally I like to write online via email or otherwise because of how quickly replies can occur. That said, I love snail mail too. I like to add random little things into what I send out. I'd like to start out online and then open up to regular post if I'm comfortable giving my address.

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

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I'm open to it all.

Name:   C

Age:  25

Location:  Texas, USA

How do you identify?:  Lesbian

Interests/hobbies:  I'm a nurse that loves to sing.  :)  I work at a hospital during the week and sing in a wonderful band on the weekends.  I play a few instruments and am a secret nerd (The Sims 3 is about to eat my soul).  I love to cook, though I never really seem to have time to do so.  I'm a sucker for celebrity gossip magazines, and I have a borderline-unhealthy love of coffee.  I also spend an ungodly amount of money of various online purchases...  oops.  Oh, and shoes.  'Nuff said.

Favourite books:  I'm a huge fan of fiction forensic science and crime books.  I couldn't list a favorite book by name if I tried, so I'm not.

Favourite films:  Anything musical in nature, LOVE Japanese films (even the weird infection horror ones), and the ones about pets that make you cry because they're so touching.  Oh, hell, I cry at everything, even the weird infection horror Japanese films.

Favourite music:  Ohhhh, welll.... lots.  I can safely say my all-time favorite band is Kings of Leon, BEFORE they got famous.  You should see my iTunes-- it's a mashup or some of the most random stuff around.  I love indies, I love 80s, and I'm guilty for having more Lady Gaga in there than I should have.

What would you like to send/receive?:  I'd LOVE to do the whole handwritten letter thing.  I'm cool with typed up stuff, too.  If I'm to send anything, though, it will be handwritten, sprayed with perfume.  :)

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:  Anyone and everyone.  I love it all!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:  Wherever!  I'm willing to send letters/packages to other countries.  That's part of the fun!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?:  Not trying to be judgmental here, but if you partake of weed/marijuana/pot/whatever you wanna call it, I probably shouldn't exchange letters with you because I have a severe allergy to it.  Even if residue is on the paper or anything, I can still get sick.  :(  Sorry if that excludes some people, but my health is muy importante!!  Other than that, I'm cool with whatever, as long as it's legal!

What would be in your dream letter or package?:  Cookies.  :)  I love oatmeal cookies.  And chocolate chip cookies.  And sugar cookies.  And-- okay, I'll stop.

Anything else you'd like to add?:  I'M SO EXCITED.  :D

Oops, that's big.  Sorry.

Age: 21

Location: Alberta, Canada

How do you identify?: Pansexual / Male (Androgynous/genderqueer)

Interests/hobbies: Anthropology, reading/books, history, photographs, film, art, travel and drawing. Stuff in my profile. It's really hard to write about myself, sorry.

Favourite books: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (any and all) by Douglas Adams and Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist at the moment.
I have a goodreads account, if anyone's interested.

Favourite films: Mirrormask, The Science of Sleep, and Tideland are my ultimate favourites.

Favourite music: My tastes are always changing. I like Sia, Astronautalis, The Cranberries, Lykke Li and Sigur Ros the most at this exact moment.

What would you like to send/receive?: I've never really made mixtapes because I don't think I have very good taste in music (But I think I'd be ok with receiving them :3), I love goofy letters with silly doodles and a lot of personality.

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

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Preferably Canadians because the postage is cheaper, but I'm not picky

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Well, yeah, I don't think I'd like to receive food of any type. Recipes are fine, though!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something creative and long! Lots for me to respond to.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I used to penpal with a few of my friends after graduation but we stopped a lot because of time constraints, etc. I'd rather have back to back letters than ones where you don't respond for months at a time.
Unless it was a really amazing letter :3
Oh and I love photographs! I think it'd be cool to receiving polaroids in the mail, but I'm not a very good photographer so don't expect anything amazing back, hahaha.
I also have a tumblr if anyone wants to add me!

I got here through the LJ spotlight too :)

Name: Sarah (or Sazz)

Age: 19 (20 next month)

Location: UK

How do you identify?: For the past four years I've been alternating between lesbian and bi/pan. I definitely like girls, but, well... Some guys are pretty ;) TBH I'm more attracted to the person than their gender.

Interests/hobbies: In September I'll be returning to uni (I'm a Veterinary student), so I don't have tonnes of free time, but you can usally find me plugged into my iPod or geeking out on LJ :) I'm really into the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog fandom at the moment, although really I'm just on a general Joss Whedon kick. I have quite the soft spot for sci-fi ;)

Favourite books: I heart Gregory Maguire's books :) Haruki Murakami is probably my all time favorite author, although I also adore George Orwell, Phillip Pullman, David Almond, Douglas Adams and Irvine Welsh.

Favourite films: Tim Burton stuff (especially Corpse Bride), Amelie, Serenity, Donnie Darko, Pan's Labyrinth

Favourite music: Rock/Metal, although nothing too heavy. I do like  most music though - at the moment I'm addicted to Mumford & Sons, Pink Floyd, Thrice and The Gaslight Anthem.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything, really :) I'll probably be quicker in replying to emails, but I'd love to write and recieved proper letters too. Just be warned, handwriting is not my strong point! I love finding new music and sharing bands I love with other people, so mix CDs would be good :)

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone. I love making new friends :)

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Preferably the UK, but anywhere is cool :)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Nah, I'm not fussy. Providing it's not, you know, a finger or something.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A letter, and maybe something creative? My artistic skills are non-existant, so I'd be so impressed by a drawing or something. Ooo, and a mix CD would be great :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: Nope :)

I'm the one on the right with the sailor hat. I like this picture because my friend is pulling such an odd face it actually makes me look better. ;)

[remolupin.livejournal.com]

Name: Aeryn!

Age: 16

Location: Kentucky, USA (bleh)

How do you identify?: Queer female

Interests/hobbies: Oooh, I love reading (fanfiction for the most part!), and watching a few television shows, and dreaming of getting to where I want to be. I'm a total music junkie, and I have so many obsessions with various fictional people, and... hm. I know I love a bunch of other things but I'm drawing up a blank. Oh! I want to be a psychologist, or, you know, just someone to talk to because I know that talking helps with everything (or at least it does for me), and I like hedgehogs, colouring, attempting to learn new languages and failing miserably, and Remus Lupin, and my family (but only on occasion), and dresses, and my favourite-- run on sentences. And dancing around madly and bubble wrap and thunderstorms and talking forever and ever with my best friend and cuddling and sleeping and remembering this dream I had when I was five about having to put down my pet bulbasaur!

Favourite books: Harry Potter. And by "Harry Potter", I mean "I don't read anything else because I am an insanely in love/obsessed fangirl". Oh! And also, Good Omens, though I've not read that in quite a while. I like Shakespeare and various other classic pieces, too, but-- wow, I didn't realise I read so little. Actually, I read a lot (A LOT a lot) of fanfiction, so... it counts! I especially love yaoi fanfics.

Favourite films: Dead Poet's Society is my all time favourite, as well as Were the World Mine and all the Harry Potter films (though I only like them, really, because I'd feel like a beastie if I didn't).

Favourite TV shows: House, the Office, Skins, Merlin, Firefly, Doctor Who and Torchwood!

Favourite music: Wow-- everything. I'm really in to the Clash right now, and I went through a Jonas Brothers phase at one point (shh!), but other than that... the Beatles, Flight of the Conchords, Michael Buble, many many many Broadway musicals, and lots more that I can't think of right now.

What would you like to send/receive?: Umm... anything! Email or snail mail or packages or anything, I'm not picky.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone friendly and hopefully relatable :D

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! (lawl, anything anyone anywhere!)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Umm... dead squirrels? Or dead anything really.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: This girl that keeps showing up in my dreams :D THAT would be fantastic. Or, you know, I wouldn't be object to Olivia Wilde. Or Ianto Jones and Captain Jack Harkness or Remus Lupin and Sirius Black snogging. Or anything you send cos I love Things!

Anything else you'd like to add?: Nope, but thanks for the option!

Picture (optional): Maybe later.

[solacem.livejournal.com]

Name: Solace; it's rather hard to formulate a nickname for that so I don't go by much else.

Age: 14 years young =_= can't believe I just typed that xD

Location: Miami,Florida

How do you identify?: Straight/Female

Interests/hobbies: Okay I love a lot of things. I enjoy reading manga, yaoi, fanfic, horrible fanfic like the stuff on Wattpad, I also enjoy watching Logo; there are some awesome short films,shows,and movies on that channel, I watch CurrentTV because they are full of awesome too. I absolutely adore all things K-Pop. I love dancing, singing, and entertaining dreams of grandeur. I love to write too even if I do leave some of my projects unfinished. I've done Winter Guard and I will be participating in Vocal Ensemble my sophomore year of high school.

Favourite books:There was a time when I could name a ridiculous amount of favorite books but since I haven't really been reading books more like fanfics online I can't really say. I had this phase were I read ever single one of my mom's cheesy romance novels and after a while I realised they were all the same thing so I guess I levelled up to Wattpad where I proceeded to read every single vampire-centric novel I could get my hands on. I got tired of that and I got into yaoi where I will stay until the end of time xD. Harry Potter is a favorite of mine and there are many others of which their names escape me. Basically I'll read pretty much anything. Oh books are coming to me I really enjoyed The Kite Runner; it brought tears to my eyes.I've read the Perks of being a Wallflower(courtesy of Wattpad) isn't this starting to sound like an endorsement for Wattpad? I'll end this now.

Favourite films: Indie films, short films, gay films, weird films, horror films, I've watched so many movies in my wee 14 years that I couldn't possibly list all of them :DD

Favourite music: Okay since I am young and at times indecisive that makes me a rather open-minded individual whether it be with movies or films; especially so when it comes to music. I love all the tween sensations and the popstars but I also adore classical music; especially the strings.Along with my love for practically all genres of music I absolutely adore K-Pop. SHINee will always have a special place in my heart. Right now I am absolutely head over heels in musical bliss with Florence + the Machine, Marina&theDiamonds, and Ellie Goulding. I presume I will find other musical masterpieces to obsessively listen to in another week or so xD.

What would you like to send/receive?: I would like to send hearts; a thousand times over....just kidding I'd like to send emails because those can be as long as my arm (don't worry I won't actually send an email that long xD) without killing my arm. I'm not entirely adverse to snail mail well it depends on the cost but if it is requested I'll do it. I would like to receive emails or snail mail. Snail mail is fun because there's a personal touch to it plus I love looking at people's hand writing.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: People around my age. 13-18 will do. I'm not completely against older people because maybe they can teach me their ways, oh great ones.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Hmm the U.S. of course, then Korea, which might be a bit hard considering I only speak English.But have no fear I'm trying to learn Korean and Spanish =3=. I would love to receive mail from anywhere really <3 :DD

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts")Umm you can send food but know that I won't be eating it. Nudes; don't send them, but I'm sure that is a shared thought amongst us all.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A SHINee poster or something that I can only buy on yesasia.com because gosh shipping/handling prices these days are ridiculous. But also my dream letter or package would be anything that represents that person's culture that I really couldn't find anywhere else. That would be like the best thing for me. Still though, send me Korean stuff I will forever love you.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I have an amazing mind or at least I like to believe so. If you want to pick my brain sometime talk to me,meng xD Also I'm an abuser of semi-colons; hope that doesn't irritate you :/

Picture (optional):


I love that picture; it looks like something those hipsters/scene kids would take. Anyways deuces and hearts; a thousand times over.

Name: Lyndal

Age: 19

Location: Sydney, Australia

How do you identify?: Bisexual female

Interests: Pretty much everything. No really, I find so many things facinating.

Hobbies: Singing, bushwalking, volunteering, learning and I love dancing but I'm definitely not good at it!

Favourite books: The Harry Potter series, Artemis Fowl series (those books will never get old), The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery (a book about climate change) Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave (a true story about two gay men coping with homophobia and AIDs in the 70s in Australia). I'm not much of a reader, I always take ages to read a book. I tend to prefer documentaries, especially those done by Tim Flannery, David Attenborough and Tony Robinson :)

Favourite films: Hook, The Fifth Element (these movies have been my favourite since I was 5 years old), Paradise Now, As It Is In Heaven, Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter movies and Disney movies.

Favourite music: Changes according to how I feel; the only constant is Coldplay. For instance, right now I love techno remixes but yesterday I was obsessed with World Music.

What would you like to send/receive?: Recieveing an email or letter would be amazing! I don't expect/want any kind of gift, just words will do me!

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'd be happy to hear from anyone really.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Umm... nothing creepy or overtly sexual please. I'm new to the internet, be kind.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Just whatever you want to say. I would love to hear about your experiences as a fellow queer but whatever's on your mind is fine too.

About Me:

I'm a recently out-ed bisexual girl in her first year of university. I decided to be honest about my orientation because I moved to the city for uni and there's a lot more acceptance here. My sexuality has never bothered me much but I thought, hey, why lie? So now I'm in the Queer Collective at uni and what I lack in gayness I make up for in passion for gay rights!

I study Science which I LOVE but I'm also interested in a wide variety of things, including... just about everything :) I'm not a creative person but I absolutely worship creativity of all kinds. I love to learn, explore, engage, dream and help make the world a better place.

So if you're up for a chat or correspondence drop me a line over LJ first then maybe we could exchange emails and/or addresses.

Love and happiness,

Lyndal

Name: Kat

Age: 21

Location: Portland area in OR

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I definitely identify as female and I'm attracted to someone if I'm attracted to them. There are no guidelines, it's just a feeling.

Interests/hobbies: I enjoy photography, drawing, painting, video games, and going to loud places.

What would you like to send/receive?: I want to trade letters that include pictures. I enjoy creative people who don't have to write everything in neat little paragraphs because even though that is convenient, I don't feel you can get everything across with them.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who would like to communicate with me? Haha. I'm a lonely person because I'm just starting to escape my high school friends and I never get out much due to lack of car and time. Preferably someone around my .

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Send me as much as you want.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A juice box, a letter, a charcoal drawing.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I need to brush up on my writing skills so this is really good for me. I have a boyfriend and I don't really have a home right now so I use my parent's PO box.

Age: 22

Location: Jackson, MS / Dallas, TX

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Female, lesbian(? - I currently have an amazing girlfriend with whom I'm trying to figure out the long-distance thing, I've only ever dated or been interested in women, I've never been interested in a male-identifying person, but I think that if I met the right male-identifying person, I wouldn't turn them down just because of their gender)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Things that are illegal to send through the mail?

Anything else you'd like to add?: If I am your pen-pal, I will occasionally flake out on you, but I'll try to make it up to you.

Their favorite book (which I'd be happy to return), favorite candy, favorite anything really. I'd love to discuss the other person's life. I'd like to hear their opinions.
