Hi, my name is trinity. I'm straight, but fully support LGBTQ rights. I want someone different to talk to who has a refreshing perspective. I'm 20, female and go to school in New York. Mostly i want a penpal who has something to say. I love creating mixt-cd's and getting little things in the mail. I'm really into art and i play the piano. Also, I'm a vegetarian, so you don't have to worry about me sending anything containing animal byproducts! If you're interested, my email is bottomofastairwell@gmail.com

Hi, I'm Rachael and I'm 16. I know that's a bit younger than you, but I think you sound cool so if you want to talk to me my addy is puppyslash@hotmail.com. I'm really interested in making new penpals and as I live in the UK too, I'll be able to write to you often if you were interested.

Penpals right now, please.

I love 35mm photography, feminist writings/theory, indie shenanigans, music, vegetarianism, I'm somewhere in between dyke and trans and I have given up on labeling it. I just go by queer. :)

Hey there! I'd love to be penpals with you, although since the postal service round here sucks e-mail may just have to do. My profile thingy is here (http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/48911.html). :D

Zines and mix-CDs, vegetarian, vintage photos ... and I also have an accordion that I play badly. Wow! Penpals?
