Name:  Lisa

Age: 20

Location: New England, USA

How do you identify?: I am really uncomfortable with labels.  I don't feel particularly drawn to any sexuality/gender labels, specifically, but I'm repelled from others.  I love "queer," let's leave it at that.

Interests/hobbies: Procrastinating, reading (specifically experimental genres, magical realism, poetry,) art (modern, specifically dada/surrealist/conceptual), avoiding being creative, making mixed cds/tapes, listening to music and dancing around by myself, live shows, taking baths, lighting candles n a non-neo-pagan way, feminism, gender/queer studies, riot grrrl, countercultures, subcultures, sociology, anthropology, folklore, fairy tales, social politics, gossip, junk food, secrets

Favourite books: My first and most important label, before human, is bookworm.  Some important authors to me are Alice Hoffman, Francesca Lia Block, June Jordan, Charles Bukowski, Daphne Gottlieb, and Edward Albee.  There are always more. 

Favourite films: I am intrigued by Todd Solondz films.  Otherwise, my personal film collection looks like it's owned by a male, gay, art, drug addicted snob.  Take that for what you will.

Favourite music: I will be that douchebag who says that my music transcends boundaries... except it does.  I have interests in all genre, but I am particularly intrigued by anything angry, loud, experimental, or from the first half of the nineties... let's talk blind melon and bikini kill.

What would you like to send/receive?: First I'd like to get to know you online, for a while.  Than I'm open; I'd prefer commitment to long letters.  Mixed cds are always loved.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'd like to meet people interested in queer politics/gender queer exsistence.  While anyone is welcome, I love radicals.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to? Let's stick to America.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Not particularly.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A long, rambling letter from a friend written on interesting paper.  A mixed cd/tape is a must, the more the better.  Zines.  Books.  Artwork.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I feel disconnected from the queer community, and I feel invisible/underrepresented/empty.  Help me fix that!

Name: Rhee 

Age: 17, soon to be 18

Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

How do you identify?: Confused, bisexual I suppose, Female

Interests/hobbies: Reading, writing, reading, writing, reading fanfiction, writing fanfiction....aside from that? Swimming, watching television, trying to be creative... I think that's it.

Favourite books: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, the Harry Potter series, 13 Reasons Why, et cetera. I'll pretty much read anything that sounds interesting and exciting.

Favourite films: Finding Neverland, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Lost Boys, A Clockwork Orange, ...a few Disney Channel movies... I watch television shows more than I watch films.

Favourite music: All Time Low, Forever the Sickest Kids, The Beatles, Tokio Hotel, Blessthefall, Eminem, Natalie Walker, et cetera, et cetera. I'll listen to anything but country, in all honesty.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail Mail, E-mail, maybe texts and phone calls in the far future.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'm not a picky person, anybody's lovely!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any country is lovely, but I have to say, I can only speak English fluently. I know some Spanish and some German and a tad of Japanese, but I'm not good with that at all.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Nothing illegal, thank you!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something creative or thoughtful that will drag out those crazy, inner emotions of mine; something that a lot of effort or thought was put into. Photographs too. Seeing a person's life through their 'eyes', that'd be special.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm about to be a sophomore in college and I'm a crazy vegetarian who loves to fangirl, writes too much fanfiction and can't seem to stay away from the interwebz. I love meeting new people and I think that everyone out there is awesome, no matter what you all say or do, unless you backstab me. You lose awesome points in my book in that case.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere, but I can only speak English.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A simple letter with silly doodles on the edges. I think a handwritten note from a friend is more meaningful and desirable than anything else. Of course I'm open to just about anything!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a laid back, open minded person looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully making some friends in the LGBT (or not) world!

Location: Northern Virginia, USA

How do you identify?: Bisexual, female.

Interests/hobbies: I love music, cooking, gardening, art, dance, video games, theatre, politics, languages, old books, reading, poetry, fandom, taking care of kids. I want to bring back letter-writing!

Favourite books: So, so many. It is alarming how much I read but it looks like there are lots of other totally awesome bookworms around here. Authors include but are not limited to: Ray Bradbury, Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Philip Larkin, Emma Donoghue, C.S. Lewis, Patricia A. McKillip, and Garth Nix.

Favourite films: French films, especially Avenue Montaigne, and old movies- anything with Cary Grant or Humphrey Bogart. Slightly newer  and lighter classics like The Princess Bride  and The Labyrinth. Retold fairy tales like Ever After and Hook. Animated movies. Anything that makes me laugh or think- hopefully both.

Favourite music: Indie rock, electronic, classical, Broadway, jazz, old-school go-go and funk and big-band swing. Ben Kweller, Owl City, Emily White, Starryville, M.I.A. and lots more. I sing and play a few instruments pretty well- mostly guitar, cornet, and trumpet.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything! Letters, postcards, art, swapping books or stories or poetry. I love to make and send intricate and pretty postcards and decorated letters.

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

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: I still live with my parents and they are often the ones who go get the mail, so nothing that would particularly shock them unless it's inside an envelope or otherwise craftily hidden.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Art or a poem or a book. Drawings. A postcard from an interesting place. Photographs. Candy. A story about yourself. A kitten...where feasible.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I just learned to blow bubbles in gum about a year ago, and I was very proud of myself, but I still can't whistle. I really dig dancing and going barefoot and lying around in the sun and taking long walks and exploring weird places and talking to people and making friends and going to museums. When asked to describe me, four out of five of my friends said "funky". (disclaimer: all statistics may or may not be inflated). And I seriously do love to write letters, so if you write me then I would love to send you some cool stuff.

[butnow.livejournal.com]

Name: Saara

Age: 21

Location: Currently I'm getting my fingers strawberry-stained in Finland (where I was born), but in September I return to my bookpiles in Scotland (where I study).

How do you identify? (sexuality / gender) Lesbian. Gender-wise, mostly female, though at times I feel more, um, genderless.

Interests / hobbies: Fiction, life-as-fiction, chance encounters with strangers (like smoking your first-ever cigarette with an elderly man from the north, talking about snow & what a lovely evening it was), languages (French is my current love, but I may have taught myself the Greek alphabet because I couldn't resist -- being a polyglot would be the most awesome thing ever), crying in the theatre, philosophy, escapades, forests, reading, writing, staying up too late, baking, tea houses, elsewheres, burning people, going to the movies alone, being foolish, the incomprehensible art of translation, trains, running away, oheverything.

Favourite books: I am obsessed with books to the extent that my librarian mother thinks I read too much. Some bookloves are: The Secret History, The History of Love, Neverwhere, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Kit's Wilderness, Mercury Fur, Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures, The World Without Us, Ronia the Robber's Daughter, The Theban Plays, L'heure de la sortie (School's Out), The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Favourite films: As a film student, I find it sinfully delightful that I'm actually required to spend an evening in the cinema every week. I like movies that are mindfucks or stick to you like ghosts or make you cry or brim over with restless life. Jeux d'enfants, Last Night, Like Minds, Mulholland Dr., The Bubble, Velvet Goldmine, Sunshine, Moulin Rouge, Billy Elliot, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset, Das Leben der Anderen, Grave of the Fireflies, Les amants réguliers, Donnie Darko, My Life Without Me, The Hours, 3-Iron.

Favourite music: I like classical, I like musicals, I like music with stories, haunting lyrics or no words at all. I like old theatre songs I heard as a child about the importance of learning how to read (& how that's not enough) and sparse piano notes we listened to in a Philosophy class on a light afternoon. (Best I like it when the right song plays at the right moment.) Some examples: Vienna Teng, Phillip Glass, Stars, Iron & Wine, Erik Satie, Yoko Kanno, The Decemberists, CocoRosie, Angelo Badalamenti, Au Revoir Simone, Bright Eyes, Antony & The Johnsons, Philippe Rombi, Kings of Convenience, Scandinavian Music Group, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kaj Chydenius.

What would you like to send / receive? I would absolutely adore snailmail of any kind, anything from postcards or little notes to parcels. I wouldn't mind emails, either, but I have to admit I'm quite hopeless with longterm email exchange.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from? Any kind stranger who might feel like writing.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to? Anywhere, oh anywhere at all. Preferably in English, but I have to admit that my French could use some practice as well...

Anything that you would particularly not like to receive? Can't really think of anything.

What would be in your dream letter or package? Something that made you ache or tingle with life. (Be it words or pictures or anything.)

Anything else you'd like to add? My dream of becoming a crazy cat lady in a house filled with books (with a loveable mutt since my girlfriend's a dog person) is complicated by the wanderlust that causes me to be incapable of even imagining a permanent home country for quite some time now. The world is so amazing and I just long for more of everything. There is so much about queer culture that is still so new to me, and I really want to learn more and get to know more people in these circles.

[evertoocurious.livejournal.com]

Name: Kiri

Age: 23

Location: The Emerald City (Greater Seattle Area)

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Female, about a 3/4 on the Kinsey scale. I'm particularly attracted to a dominant personality. I'm freakishly independent and someone's got to be able to keep up and take charge in the relationship or I end up trampling. Not to mention it's god-wonderful nice when I get to be a girly girl. Just because a lass is independent, doesn't mean she doesn't want to be swept off her feet now and then. =P

Interests/hobbies: Theatre, Shakespeare, writing, film, animation, fiction, role-play (written and table-top, I'm a right nerd), video games, color, crocheting, sewing, doodling...

Favourite books: Pride and Prejudice (I imagine this may soon be topped by Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet), Ella Enchanted (Not the movie, that movie raped my childhood and this book), My Many Colored Days, Ender's Game, nearly anything by Billy S. (even though they're plays and not books) as well as Equivocation.

Favourite films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club, American Beauty, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, Reefer Maddness, Pride and Prejudice (The BBC version), What Dreams May Come

Favourite music: Missy Higgins, A Fine Frenzy, Showtunes, Within Temptation, Maria Mena, Gavin Mikhail, Owl City... Anything I can sing to really. Especially if the song tells a story.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail, I think. I have this crazy notion that I'd love to make a scrapbook of this, sort of like an expiriment. Try to see if I can keep it up and have a good place to keep all my recieved mail. I'd like to send and recieve oddities. Maybe not always letters. Maybe short notes with playlists, or a recipe or a photograph of something bizarre--newspaper clippings of something one or both of us finds interesting. I want an oddly casual connection that strangers aren't accustomed to having. Someone to share things with as if we were the oldest of friends.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who thinks they're up for the challenge of handling my way of correspondence.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I'd like to stay in country, or at least in continent (I'd be up for Canada too), just because I'm a little on the stretched side when it comes to funds.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Perishable items (living things included =P)

What would be in your dream letter or package?: In ideal Kiri-world a dream letter would have a note saying my student loans were all paid for... But as that ain't happening, I don't rightly know. I'm easily pleased. Getting a letter in the mail that isn't a bill is really more than enough for me.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm an open book. So you'll want to make sure you want to read the chapter before you turn to that page.

...Also, I can't cartwheel.

I'm hoping this gets a better reception than last time; I pray I'm not that boring that no one wanted to comment even *cries*

Name: Sara

Age: 27

Location: Akron, OH, USA

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I'm a bisexual female. I'm not sure what I'm attracted to more, but I do like men and women equally. However, I am fiercely loyal to those I'm attached to, so take that as you will.

Interests/hobbies: I'm a part time law student, full time 911 phone operator, ride dressage and probably should've gone pro, but never did due to the fact I don't want riding to be a job instead of being something fun. I love to read, write fanfiction (even though law school has taken away most of my free time for writing). My fandoms include Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. I enjoy cosplaying, but I'm a terrible seamstress lol. I dislike Twilight, and I love vampires that don't sparkle and stories that do not glorify domestic abuse like Stephanie Meyers has made all little girls believe they should expect out of their relationships. Sorry, but love isn't about complete control over one party. I love cats, I have three wonderful companions in Charlie, Sizuka, and Fedde. I'm a solitary wiccan with Catholic tendencies. Basically, I am a contradiction, but a fun one :)

Favourite books: The Harry Potter Series, Percy Jackson series, Things Fall Apart, Joy Luck Club, The Thrawn Trilogy, and Outbound Flight.

Favourite films: Cruel Intentions, The Talented Mr Ripley, Good Will Hunting, Order of the Phoenix.

Favourite music: Metal, Rock, Punk, Screamo, Grunge.... I like rock. Some of my favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Disturbed, Metallica, Fall Out Boy, Ludo, and Taking Back Sunday. Within Temptation and Lacuna Coil are starting to grow on me, but I still need a bit of time before I can say I absolutely love them.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, small gift packages, whatever strikes my fancy, or your fancy, really.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone that wants to chat. I would ask, though, that people be over 18.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any country is fine but those that are overseas will likely receive letters and very small gifts because of shipping costs.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts"): Nothing too pervy. I might like it, but I live with my mother while in school (it's cheap and convenient to campus.... lol) so therefore things have to be acceptable in her eyes.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Surprise me!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I am hoping to connect with like minded people, and I'll be honest; I'd love a relationship. I know, I know, it's needy to post that, but I see it as honesty. Why string people along if your intentions are different?

[daiyaonna.livejournal.com]

Name: Diamond ; Dai

Age: 23

Location: Kentucky, USA

How do you identify?: Gay, Lesbian. (Not really a huge fan of labels though.)

Interests/hobbies: I spend a lot of time working, so I suppose that could be an interest (??) even if I'm not overly fond of it. Other than that, I like writing fiction (couldn't write poetry to save my life), reading, roleplaying, venturing to the movies, hanging out with my sister, collecting stationary and hats.

Favourite books: I'll read almost any and everything I can get my hands on, but a current list of authors I seem to be really into: Poppy Z. Brite, Rob Thurman, Sarah Monette, Ginn Hale, Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett. I've also taken to reading a lot of translated foreign books; currently Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko ♥

Favourite films: This is always a tough one for me. I could list several: Star Dust, MirrorMask, Dawn of the Dead, The Count of Monte-Cristo, Push, Desperado. I'm also a fan of those terrible B movies, anything in relation to zombies, and dubbed kung fu flicks. Oh, and the occasional anime.

Favourite music: Also tough, since I have varying taste. Foreign (Korean, Japanese, German, French, etc.), Instrumental, Rock, Pop. I do enjoy 10 Years and a lot of Lady Gaga.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything at all, I'm open ~

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone! Although, preferably English since that's the only language I actually understand. Most of the time. My two years of Japanese and three years of French are kind of...useless at this point.

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: As long as it's not indecent or racy. It's pretty difficult to offend me, but I don't wish anyone else to be scarred for life.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A book or a drawing. I do love to draw when I have the time, and sending/receiving things like that always make things more interesting!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a text addict. No, really. I love to do that just as much as any of my other hobbies; I suppose I should have stuck that up there. So, if we get to know each other a little better (and you're capable of texting and would like to), I wouldn't mind giving my phone number for that to happen! :D

Favourite books: To Kill a Mockingbird, Number the Stars, Diary of Anne Frank, Too Deep for Tears, Between Mist and Midnight, The Harry Potter series, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Little House series, John Grishman novels, and Danielle Steel novels.

Favourite films: Anything with Alan Rickman, Tom Hanks, or Meg Ryan. Anything by Pixar and most Disney movies. I *love* movies although I haven't seen many movies pre-1980s.

Favourite music: I love country and most Top 40 songs and have a strong affinity for the music of the 1950s/60s. It isn't so much about the artist but about the song; I'm a fan of songs and if I find an artist with a lot of songs I like then that's awesome. Love Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Pink, Frank Sinatra, The Temptations, The Supremes, and some Bob Dylan.

What would you like to send/receive?: I have no clue, guess I'd have to think about it.

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

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") No adult material or anything illegal.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I just love mail (of any kind) but there is something special about snail mail.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm not a fan of Twilight. I was born and raised in Southern California in a Republican family who has no clue what to do with me. My major is American Studies but I have no clue what I want to do once I graduate. I love music, movies, and books. If I'm not reading or watching tv chances are I'm on the computer.

Picture (optional): Maybe later.

Name: Karen, but you can also call me Kaz or Kazzy.

Age: 22

Location: I live in Newark, NY. I attend college in Houghton, NY.

How do you identify?: I suppose I would identify myself as a Lesbian..still trying to work that out. I find certain guys handsome, but being in a relationship with a guy isn't appealing to me now.

Interests/hobbies: Hanging out/watching movies with friends, animals (especially cats, dogs, wolves, horses, and foxes), baking, making people smile, reading, walks, rain, sunsets, a little photography, watching thunderstorms, playing pokemon, taking naps, staying up too late, my kitties, my Betta fish, and I have a slight obsession with Harry Potter. ^_^;

Favourite books: Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice, The Sight by David Clement-Davies, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, and I'm going to begin reading Eragon soon. I have a couple more books I want to read before the summer's over. I keep having Twilight suggested to me, but no thank you. My loyalty is to Harry Potter. XD

Favorite TV shows: I don't usually watch too much TV. My favorite show is Whose Line is it Anyway?, but I also like to watch MythBusters and Man v. Food.

Favourite films: How to Train Your Dragon (I have a Betta named Toothless that I bought the same day I saw the movie :D), The Princess and the Frog, Harry Potter (the books are soooo much better, though), Lord of the Rings, Pride & Prejudice (both the 1995 and 2005 version), Save the Last Dance, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Music and Lyrics, Serenity...and more.

Favourite music: For the past oh..4 or so years, I've listened mainly to Christian music. Like Skillet, This Beautiful Republic, Wavorly, and Fireflight. But I also enjoy Tegan & Sara, Taylor Swift, Evanescence, and Daughtry. I'm totally open to suggestions. :)

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, pictures, and drawings if you draw and feel like sharing. Emails are okay at first. Packages are fine too.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I would especially like to send/receive mail from bisexual or lesbian females.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: It doesn't matter that much..but I only know English.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything questionable or inappropriate.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A cute stuffed animal, a few pictures, and a letter that makes me smile. :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm Christian, but am open-minded. I've only recently (as in the past month), come to accept that I like girls. I've been with girls in the past, but when I became Christian, I basically suppressed it because I was told it was "wrong". But I'm not going to lie about who I am anymore, nor do I think it's wrong. Needless to say, I have not told most of my Christian friends. I already lost one of my best friends when I told her, and she won't be the only one when other people find out. So, I'm really looking for friends (or something more, to be honest) I can talk to and that will accept me. I hope some of you are interested..^_^;

Picture (optional):

This is me with one of my kitties, Bobo. I love him so much. :)

How do you identify?: Bisexual, feminist, foodie, fattie. I'm your BFF BFFF. :D

( Click me for great verbosity! )

Name: Allie

Age: 18

Location: Illinois during the summer; Northampton, MA during the school year

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Queer female. Most of the people I'm attracted to are women but there exceptions. The terms bisexual and lesbian both don't feel quite right for various reasons so queer it is.

Interests/hobbies: I hope to be a professional author someday so I spent a lot of my time writing, mostly fiction. I read quite a lot. I also love knitting, mocking bad movies, and rambling and am very interested in feminism and queer theory and sociology.

Favourite books: Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, White Oleander by Janet Finch, The Blind Assasin by Margaret Atwood, The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, I could go on and on...

Favourite films: Almost Famous, Pan's Labyrinth, Spirited Away, Milk, V for Vendetta

Favourite music: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, The Killers, The Magnetic Fields, Arcade Fire, Neko Case, and Sleater-Kinney

What would you like to send/receive?: E-mails in the beginning and later on snail mail. I'd love to swap mix cds and almost anything you'd like to send in a package would be great.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who's interested in talking to me and thinks that we would get along

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere's good

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") I'm fine with talking about sex with someone I consider a friend but not with receiving pornographic or other adult material (at least without giving notice or permission and even then it'd have to be under the right circumstances). I'm in a long-term monogamous relationship with a girl I adore so if you're looking for a sexual or romantic bond I'm not the person for you.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A nice long letter, an awesome mix cd, and maybe a cute little thing that my penpal made or bought, something that's uniquely them.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Not that I can think of right now, just that I hope I'll make a good penpal for someone reading this!

Picture (optional): I'd be fine with sharing a picture with a penpal
