dear sons and daughters of hungry ghosts;

Trying this again. c:

Name: Alice.

Age: 19.

Location: Netcong, NJ. I just moved, actually, at the beginning of September. Blargh.

How do you identify?: Lesbian female who is still working through occasional gender dysphoria which started when she was young and didn't understand homosexuality at all. Honestly. I had no idea it was possible until I was about.. thirteen or so.

Interests/hobbies: Creative writing. Writing, writing, writing. I would not be able to breathe if I suddenly couldn't write. Also drawing [sometimes], photography [other times], text-based RPG, dollfies/ball-jointed dolls [yeah, nineteen and still plays with stupidly expensive dolls, shush], music - I sing and I want to learn how to play cello and sax really badly. I play World of Warcraft in phases, and I'm in my down phase right now. Um.. yeah. I'm failing at making lists lately. Usually, it's one of my strong points. Derp. :B

Favourite books: Poppy Z. Brite is my favourite author, followed by Oscar Wilde and Haruki Murakami. There are a ton of others, but I can't be assed to list them, augh.

Favourite films: 'The Royal Tenenbaums', 'Breakfast on Pluto', 'But I'm a Cheerleader!', 'Children of Men', 'The Happiness of the Katakuris', 'Brother'. There are more, but, well, see above.

Favourite music: Radiohead/Thom Yorke, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Ours, deadman, Merry, cali≠gari, Placebo, The Mars Volta, Blockhead, Daedelus, The Beatles, The Paper Chase, The Black Keys, Tool, DJ Tiesto, Mindless Self Indulgence, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Like Trains and Taxis, Yann Tiersen, Neutral Milk Hotel, IMA Robot, Gogol Bordello, Moving Units, Wild Beasts, The Dresden Dolls.. embarrassing shit like Lady Gaga and Rihanna, woohoo! I really like techno and classical music, too. As for classical--Wieniawski and Paganini. I love me some tarantellas. I love them something fierce.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail! E-mails are fine, too, I guess, but I'm one of those silly old-fashioned people who think letters feel much, much more personal. Also, if you write or even roleplay, I think art trades would be pretty spiffy, and maybe we can create some storylines or something? Aaaah.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! I'm a silly American and only speak English fluently, but I'm working towards becoming an English teacher in Japan, so I have a shaky, almost-conversational knowledge of the language at the moment, and it would be pretty boss if there were someone out there who would be willing to help me with it even just a little. :D

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Insects. Uh.. I'm allergic to coconut. Please don't send me anyone's underthings, or knives, or anything particularly illegal. Or.. uh.. organs, either human or otherwise. These are things I'd like to avoid, yes.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Adorably rambling letters with little drawings on them have always been my favourite kind. Mix tapes/CDs would be totally boss, because I'm always, always hunting for new music to devour like some sort of beast.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I love giraffes and owls, and I'm a magpie for necklaces and rings. I'm incredibly awkward and shy, so please try not to mind strange pauses if we wind up talking over messengers someday.

Picture (optional): ( .. will be under the cut for the sake of people's friends lists! )

This is a repost; I met some amazing people on here a while back, and lately I've been feeling really lonely and as nerdy as it is I was hoping to reach out and find some new friends (: 


Name: Jenny

Age: 19

Location: London

How do you identify?: Bisexual

Interests/hobbies: I am a keen writer. I write every day if I can, and I find that when I don't write i get really grouchy.  I write a lot of fanfiction, but recently I've been trying to write some originals. I read a lot too. I like doing role plays. I find that being someone else for a bit is a great way to escape the mundane activies real life has to offer. If anyone is interested in doing any role plays with me just let me know, I love doing original ones and seeing where we end up. I probably watch way too much television and I listen to music all the time. Silence scares me, there's always something playing in the back ground.

Favourite books: I really love science fiction books; anything with vampires and werewolves and witches... though saying that I really don't think the Twilight series should get as much hype as it does, out there are much better series just waiting to be found and turned into the next big thing; the sooner that happens the better.  I am currently reading all of Kelley Armstrongs books (not at the same time because she has quite a few and that would be impossible...or near impossible) Currently on 'The Awakening' And yes i know its a young adult book but I love it <3 I love Gena Showlaters books too... dirty and plotty just the way life should be. Geeking out i still love the Harry Potter Series...Though the last one was a bit of a let down.  I love the classics too. John Steinbeck is one of my favourite authors ever. Of Mice and Men is my favourite book in the world. I've read it over ten times, and every time I read it i find something new that I love about it. Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is also amazing. I loved the play and the film but nothing beats the original.


Favourite films: I don't really have any favourite films... I watch pretty much anything, the last film i watched was 'Legion' and I loved it.  I also love 'The Horsemen of the Apocolypse' I guess you can see a pattern with those two; maybe it's the supernatural end of the world angels and demon feel or maybe it's Dennis Quad... it's both to be honest.

Favourite music: I listen to pretty much anyhing & everything The Script are becoming my favourite band at the moment, I recently just saw them live and they blew me away once again, Mcfly, Jonas Brothers, Honor Society, Lostprophets, AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult, Bowling For soup,  The Futures, Idina Menzel, Adelitas Way, (And many, many more...)

What would you like to send/receive?: anything (: I'm easy. It would be nice to maybe do something creatve with someone, whether it be a role play or a joint story... Letters would be nice but i get a bit nervous about giving out my address... so probably start off by email? I'm an email junkie... I often exceed the daily limit which is 300 a day lol

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:Anyoneee. Like i said someone creative who i can bounce ideas with, I'm always happy to listen to endless rambles off writers cause sometimes it sucks when you have that awesome idea but theres no one there to share it with. 

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anyone who wants to talk to me wins in my book no matter where you're from... Though i can only speak English...

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Right now with how lonely i've been feeling my dream letter/email would be someone just wanting to have a chat (:

Anything else you'd like to add?: I like to think of myself as a really nice person to talk to, I'm funny and sometimes smart. I work in a nursery part time and I want to be a teacher ora writer...or maybe possibly both? Why not. :D

If you want to get to know me some more my email address is jen.1991@hotmail.co.uk i look forward to some cool chats xx
