Name: Blair

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!

OMG another armchair anthropologist Awesome mind if I put you in my harem. Collection of penpals?

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Hhahahaa yes of course! I probably should have put it down but I'm an Anthropology major, History minor at university :3. I'll add you.

[magrun.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not from Canada, but I suppose I could provide you with ridiculous doodles, recipes, polaroids (well, no, because I only have a stupid normal camera but that's just a detail, you know), and... other stuff. Okay, THAT was weird! :D
But still. We could just write or something and see how things go?

Maybe you aren't freaked out yet which would be really cool ;)

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

It takes a lot to freak me out, seriously, hahahaa.

I don't MIND people from out of Canada, I'm just cheap so it's what I aim for ;3
Also it's ok because I couldn't send you polaroids back. I can draw something and boarder it like one though. Or print it. Or I don't even know.
Hahhaa I'll friend request you.

[magrun.livejournal.com]

Ha! That's good to know.

I'm cheap, too. I swear. Wait. No. I shouldn't say something like that now, should I?
I do like the idea of faking polaroids cos I love them, too. Let's fake them and pretend they're real. Once there are two people lying it becomes more believable. Or that's what I'd like to believe, rather.
Accepted your request, though.

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

It isn't? Oops. I'm not good at communication I suppose. Hahahah.

Or it'll just make people think we're part of a clique and not just crazy.
Maybe we'll start a trend.
Fake polaroid trend. All the art students will copy us then pretend they didn't.

[magrun.livejournal.com]

Nah, rubbish. I quite enjoy the communication-stuff you pull off.

We're not crazy. Although that's something crazy people say all the time.
We could start a trend or we could just sell the idea to all the art students and then we'll be crazy AND rich. Maybe anything we come up with is a trend?

... speaking of crazy, I better get to bed now. I have to work tomorrow and looking at the time (oh Gosh) I feel like I really should go now... ah, I liked your photo meme, btw (no, not stalking you!).

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Hahaha 'creative'. That's how they say crazy in a nice way.
Oh, you're just expressing your creative side.

That'd work, if art students made any money.
All the art students I know breathe air for nutrients or something.

Hahahah, no, it's fine, I just realized that was my most recent post before I joined this community.
I was wondering if anyone would notice it.

[magrun.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind!

I don't know many art students, so my idea of them is probably completely off and has no connection whatsoever to reality.
No, wait. That's usually the case when my mind's working.

Can't remember the last thing I posted. Probably something depressing or so. Shoot - baaaaad first impression. Oh well. I guess I'm not good at communication.

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

It's ok, you have filters so I can't read it anyways hahaha.

[magrun.livejournal.com]

Oh, right.... I do!
I forgot that I'd been using them for a while.
So, now that we've covered the basics (meaning our first project "how do we turn faking polaroids into something useful")... email or something?

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Sure :3
my e-mail is iexsist@gmail.com

[magrun.livejournal.com]

Mine's vintagepsycho@gmx.net - just thought I'd tell you so that you won't think "Oh God, who the f is THAT?" ;)

[dirtywaltzing.livejournal.com]

=]

[neutrals.livejournal.com]

i actually think you have lovely music taste. i personally love sia <3 and if you're looking for letters with doodles.. i am the person for you. any time i write anything, weather it be letters or even my notes in school, there were full of random doodles throughout the entire page.

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

I love her so much. Her music videos are fantastic, too.
Soon We'll be Found gives me shivers.
I also think sign language is beautiful, though.

Hahaha mine were too. It helps me learn or something.
I've actually been trying to stop, because it used to be half page half doodle but now it's turning into about 90 percent doodle, 10 percent notes.


Adding you. :3

[neutrals.livejournal.com]

that was me too. you would have loved my art history notes.. as interesting as that class was, i always found myself doodling all over the pages.

adding you back.

as for sia, as sad as this is to admit i only have 1 song on this computer. pretty sure i had more somewhere else (i own 3 computers because im somewhat of a nerd.. lol, well im an art nerd.. i majored in graphic design).. but breathe me is my favorite song by her.. and is actually one of my all time fave songs.

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

I actually hated art history. I went all over Europe, went to every Art Museum, spent three days at the Louvre, thought I was the reincarnation of Dali until I was 14
and yet
I hated art history.


I don't know it was really surprising.

I own three computers toooooo. Two PC desktops and a Macbook pro notebook.
There's no good reason behind this, I just tell people,
"My dad is a network administrator."


Breathe Me was the first song I ever heard by her =]

[neutrals.livejournal.com]

my class was interesting because my instructor had two master and during our breaks she was a researcher at the van gogh museum in Amsterdam.. so she was interesting and very knowledgable.

i have an imac, an ibook and then a windows laptop.

i mostly use my imac though.

and its such a pretty song. i will def. check out her other stuff though.

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Mine had a thick accent (I don't know where from?) and frizzy hair.
I don't remember anything else.

Then again, I did take art history 102 but not 101 so maybe I would have liked it a lot more if I didn't start half way through.

I game a lot, so I need a powerful PC for that, but I definitely love my macbook for portability/lightness.

[chaseee123.livejournal.com]

Hi,
I like your music tastes actually. Although I only have one or two songs by Sia and Lykke Li.
But then again I love sooooo much music it is just ridiculous how much it means to me.
I love taking pictures and drawing and anything artistic basically. (I'm definitely not an expert at any of it but I will see what I can do if you'd like haha) I'm about to post in the community if you'd like to read. If you'd rather not pay for snail mail here we could just be friends and email tho?

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Thankyou :3
My cousin hated my entire ipod when we were driving back from the lake this weekend,
but honestly she only likes immediately new music so I don't know how to please her.

I'm crap at photography. I wish I wasn't, I really do. I love taking photos and all that.
My ex-boyfriend was particularily amazing and he had this really hiquality camera yet still my photos turned out mediocre. I'm just not made to be a photographer or something hahahaha.

I'm actually an art school drop out, not because I sucked, but because I hated it a lot. It turns out that talent does not equal enjoyment. Turned my hobby into a chore =/
I still like doodling and stuff for fun though :3 definitely mailwise.

I'm willing to do snailmail and the such as well, hahaha, it was just a preference.
But if you'd prefer for at first my e-mail is iexsist@gmail.com .

[chaseee123.livejournal.com]

yea, well I actually had a lot lot lot of old, crap on my ipod that I couldn't believe I ever liked until just last month I went through all of it. eh, lots of older music is still just as good/better to me than some new stuff.

Oh and I didn't mean I was a legitimate great photogropher so much as I just like to take lots of pictures lol
I've never even developed film the old fashioned way-just pure digital. Although, I must say I kick ass at photoshop! 8D

I definitely believe you about art school being demanding/unenjoyable. You have to love to do it, and love to do it all the time from what I hear. hahaha
well great then. yea maybe wait a little while before I give my home address to anyone. Just in hopes of keeping fake, weird, psyhcopaths from finding me. D=

[birddontsing.livejournal.com]

okay, so I just skimmed over this, and I totally want to be your best friend, like, right now. ♥ okay then.

my profile is here (http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/44168.html#cutid1).

and my girlfriend is from canada. ♥ southwest ontario, but, same country. you share the same expanse of land as her! be still, my heart!

so yeah. music taste? check. doodles? DOUBLE CHECK. i have a tumblr if you want to add me, and i'm going to add you: here (scornandritz.tumblr.com).

So yes. give a read through, let me know. have a good day!

[exsisto.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha right this moment?
I think that'd be a record for the fastest friend I've ever made.

I'll answer everything else while I wait for your profile to load (lj is running super slow for me)

Obviously she's from Canada. We're the best, didn't you know?
We don't really have anything better to do but be awesome and the such.
Ontatio is a lot different than Alberta though.
They have
you know
less than 10 months of snow.

hahaha, I kid, I kid, I've only actually been in ontario for a total of two hours during a transfer flight.

I'll add your tumblr back :3 I mostly post pictures of pretty girls though.

It loaded:
Theatre! I totally forgot about it. I haven't been involved in anything since I graduated but I used to be huge into drama and the year end plays.
I played the grandfather in Princess Bride and Marx in Bullets Over Broadways. Not the main roles, but some of the secondary ones! I don't know, I was proud at the time.
I was more interested in critiquing though and I used to be in theatre appreciation (we'd go to plays then rate them for credits).
My problem is although I can act I can only sort of dance and my singing is absolutely awful.
So, alas, no broadway for me.

I also bake and I didn't put that. I made angel food cake from scratch the other day :3 it's my pride and joy.
Apparently I'm a housewife.

Ugh I love everything french. When I went to Paris I never wanted to leave. Hell, when I went to Quebec I never wanted to leave and it wasn't even that amazing.


As for colouring books have you ever heard of those "Doodle"/"Scribbles" colouring books by Taro Gomi? If not, google them immediately. They're probably the best things I've ever discovered. It's hard to explain how amazing these things are.

[birddontsing.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. I'm a very sociable person, don't judge! Haha.

Oh god, I know, right? I love Canada. I'm going to be up there (in Ontario, with her) in 17 days. One of my best guy friends is from Alberta, though. Calgary, to be exact. He had a massive raging crush on me, though, which made things awkward...
Hahaha. Oh, don't worry. I'd trade you ANY day for Tennessee. 10 months of snow and all.

I POST PICTURES OF PRETTY GIRLS AND BOYS. Don't worry.

Awww. D: My dancing is horrid-- it takes me forever to get choreography down-- and though I can match pitch and can sing in 'technicality', I'm no Cheno. So. Alas.
But I do love acting more than I love most everything in life. I plan on going to a conservatory for uni, and thus. :D

Oh my god, I love baking. I made mousse yesterday! It was a triple one-- salted caramel, vanilla, and chocolate. So. Good. I almost cried when it was done because it tasted /amazing/. And thus my obsession with France continues.

I KNOW, RIGHT? French cinema is one of my favourite things that has ever happened to this universe. Uggggh. So many good movies that I can't even name.

I will look these up now! You have intrigued me.

OKAY. So if you want, you can LJ message me and we can trade IMs/emails/whatever you would prefer? So we don't clog up your comment page.

My e-mail is by no means private so I'll just post it here:
