queermail | Heyhihello. <3

Name: Jayden

Age: 21

Location: San Jose, California

How do you identify?: Bisexual and polyamorous FTM.

Interests/hobbies: Reading novels, memoirs and one-shot/one volume graphic novels (and unearthing some of my old favorites and rereading them); drawing (I do commissions) on restaurant napkins and old grocery receipts; looking for, listening, playing, composing and writing music; writing short stories and nonsense (I love enjambment); collecting and giving away stickers, bottlecaps, pins and buttons and other little knick-knacks that make me happy; turning "junk" and "scrap" (old shampoo bottles, used shoeboxes and cardboard boxes, water bottles and empty dog food bags) into STUFF (toys, make-shift instruments, whatever)... a bunch of stuff; VIDEO GAMES.

postscript: I am vegan, love animals and am big on being green. ... I am also really big on education reform (child development major). Hmm... yeah.

Favourite books: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein; Blankets, Good-Bye Chunky Rice and Carnet de Voyage by Craig Thompson; Not Simple by Natsume Ono; Solanin by Inio Asano; Becoming a Visible Man by Jamison Green; What Becomes You by Aaron Raz Link and Hilda Raz ... off the top of my head, anyway. :)

Favourite films: Up, How to Train Your Dragon, Coraline, Despicable Me, Rio, Bolt, Fantastic Mr. Fox ... (can you tell I like animated films?) ... also... RENT, Black Swan, Gattaca, Im Juli, Bella Martha, Jenseit der Stille, Saving Face, Imagine Me and You, Lost in Translation ... ... I'll leave it at that for now, haha.

Favourite music: electronica (I've been listening to a lot of General Fuzz recently); video game music remixes; lounge; nu-jazz (?); solely piano instrumentals; classical; crazy stuff, e.g. happy hardcore, drum n' bass, "LET'S KICK BUTT" music... yes. <3

What would you like to send/receive?: I'd like to send AND/or receive letters, postcards, little knick-knacks, stickers, mixed CDs, book trades, drawings, etc. <3

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

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: No preference. :) Though, if you can write in German, that's a plus. <3 (English is my second language [Chinese is my first, but I can't write in it], but I took German for a few years and would like to get back into reading and writing in it~)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Please do not send me anything against my vegan lifestyle, e.g. food items containing animal products or things that, well, aren't animal-friendly, e.g. leather, fur, etc. Much appreciated.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I love handwritten letters and hand-drawn illustrations or hand-made things. They make me happy. Art trades, mixed CDs/mixtape trades, book trades... I'd be thrilled if anyone were to be up for that.

Anything else you'd like to add?: It may be relevant to add that I'm in an open relationship (my girlfriend is amazing <3). Hm... not much else for now.

Picture (optional):

(I'm the one on the bottom. With glasses. The kid on top o' me is my girlfriend's son Phoenix (he likes to rough-house and climb on top of me :P ).

postscript: Sorry if I don't reply right away (to comments, I mean)... and for not browsing the community more. I have work tomorrow morning and must therefore go to bed NOW if I want to function at my best. :) <3

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You sound really interesting :) I love techno/lounge too & kick butt music is the best lol :)
If you'd like to be penpals just let me know :)

(i'm from australia btw)

Dude. Your username. If it refers to walking to the bassline of a song... ... BE MY NEW BEST FRIEND. ;n; <3

Anyway, sorry for the somewhat delayed response! I've been working like MAD. But dude. I'd totally love to be penpals with you! :)

Do you have a preference? As in, would you prefer electronic correspondence, or are you totally cool with snail mail? And if you have a profile here, could you direct me to it? :)

Hehe! yay best friends :) It refers to that and also to a RuPaul song of the same name :).

No worries, I know how it can be :)

My preference is snail-mail if that's cool with you :). I did have a profile on here but it seems to have gone bye-bye... or i'm just missing it lol. I'll double check just to make sure and then upload another one :).

Oooh. I need to look it up, then.

But yeah! I am totes interested! :D)-/
I love snail mail 'cause... I have this obsession with people's handwriting and stuff. E-mail can seem kind of impersonal in that aspect; it's all font. D:

But um... I'll start it up, if you want? E-mail me your addy if so?
E-mail addy: jay@orange-skies.net

postscript: Checked your profile. Totes excited. X3 Can we do music CD exchanges? That'd be awesome!

Yay for snail-mail! :D I think letter writing is somewhat of a dying art form, sad really :(

That would be awesome :), i'll send you my addy :)

Heck yes for Music CD exchanges! :D Already working on a list of songs to send :)

'kay... I'm kind of busy with a lot of things right now? I have a lot of things piling up (mostly commissions and work), so... it may take me longer than expected to get this package to you. Sorry! :(

I'll let you know when I have it sent, though! And I'll send you the delivery confirmation and such. <3

That's okay, I know how things can get :). Just let me know when you've sent it so I can be sure to be on the look out :)

Hey! Just sending you a message/reply to let you know I haven't forgotten! I've just been swamped with work or super depressed.

But um. I have some stuff I want to send you in terms of mooziks. Not super crazy stuff, buuuuuuuuuut stuff I think you may like? But yeah. I'll try and get that together this week so it can maybe get there before Crimmas. :'3

But I'll let you know when I actually SEND it... I'll e-mail you a tracking number or somethin'. <3

Found it! :D
