Name: Cate

Age: 22

Location: Australia

How do you identify?: I consider myself a lesbian woman but i have had sex with men in the past (and once since identifying as a lesbian) so maybe it's not the best label but it's the one that i personally feel comfortable with... either way i am primarily attracted to other women. 

About me: I'm currently working full time and finished studying at the end of last year. I spend most of my spare time at the gym. I love sociology which is what i studied at uni. I love animals, i have 3 cats and a dog. I have a few tattoos and i'll definitely be getting more. I'm single. I like to bake but hate eating what i bake. Most of my friends are so busy i don't get to see them. I probably spend way too much time texting. I'm most often described as really random.

Interests/hobbies: Writing, reading, watching movies/tv, going to the gym, playing netball, travelling. 

Favorite books/authors: Kathy Reichs, Harry Potter, Tomorrow Series and anything else written by John Marsden. Really trashy lesbian romance ;)

Favorite movies/TV shows: Stargate SG-1, Doctor Who, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy, X-files (lots lots more even just of what i have on dvd), Kill bill, american pie, romantic comedies (even though they're super predictable), the shining, battle royale etc

What would you like to send/receive?: I'm up for either email or snail mail and would love to send postcards occasionally or little trinkets, mixed cds, handmade stuff, doodles etc. 

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone. So long as they're open minded. Ideally somewhere between 18-30 but not too fussed on that. Someone who's not going to stop after a couple of emails

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! but especially Germany, UK or Canada

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: nope, obviously nothing super weird or anything

What would be in your dream letter or package?: a super long letter about anything and everything even if it's just watching someone order coffee, actually i'd love a letter from someone just talking about how they sat in a coffee shop for hours and wrote down who they saw, especially if they made up little stories about them for me that would be epic. Um... probably something to do with sex in some way shape or form. some chocolate/lollies. Um, maybe a poscard, pictures, i don't know. 

Anything else you'd like to add?: hmm... i think that covers it. 

After too much time spent trying to come up with a suitably witty line...

Name: Christy

Age: 21

Location: Scotland

How do you identify?: I’m not big on labels, but if I had to apply one I would probably consider myself a lesbian woman but I have had sexual contact with guys in the past.  Still, I am primarily attracted to other women.

About me: What to say?  I am currently enjoying the rather long summer between my third and fourth year of university.  I study law at Edinburgh, and have a bit of a love hate relationship, i.e. when it’s stuff I enjoy, I love it, when it comes to referencing essays, I hate it.  I’m generally a calm person and enjoy staying in just as much as I do going out.  I’ve never been the most confident person I know, but I do try not to be too shy.  I love animals, especially my cats, and I take waay too many pictures of them.  I enjoy going out for drinks or something to eat, especially since apart from baking cakes and making desserts, I suck in the kitchen.  I love the friends I have, but am always happy to have more.  My friends would probably describe me as a little mad, loyal and funny, which all things considered isn’t too bad! 

Interests/hobbies: Writing, reading, watching TV, going out for random excursions, going for drinks. 

Favorite books/authors: Dean Koontz, Philippa Gregory, Tess Gerritsen, Kathy Reichs, Oscar Wilde, Ian Rankin, Scott Lynch, many of the classics...I’ll pretty much read anything that takes my fancy

Favourite Music:  I’ll listen to almost anything, from rock to pop, country to classical.  I play violin so I guess I have a bit of a weak spot for a gorgeous string melody.

Favorite movies/TV shows: Doctor Who, Grey's Anatomy, Rizzoli and Isles, Law and Order SVU, The Good Wife, ER, Harry’s Law, Prime Suspect, Hot in Cleveland – pretty much any courtroom/cop/medical drama, but then I also love a good chick flick (as predictable as they can be) or a comedy.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything really.  I do have to confess, I have a bit of a love for snail mail with nice stationary and stuff but I'm up for e-mail too and would love to send postcards occasionally or little trinkets, mixed cds, handmade stuff, doodles etc. 

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone, so long as they're open minded.  Someone who likes to chat about all the random little things that make them smile and the things that interest them.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! But I should point out that I only speak English.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Not that I can think of – just nothing too weird, I suppose. 

What would be in your dream letter or package?:  Something to make me smile, whether that’s a long letter ranting about some random little thing that bugging you, telling about something you found that reminds you of old times, or just what was going through your head when you last walked through the park, or sat in a coffee shop because it was raining outside and watched the world go by.  Maybe a few pictures, some little doodles or a trinket of some sort?

Anything else you'd like to add?:  “No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” (Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own)
