Name: Nicole (or November, if you prefer)

Age: 22

Location: Jackson, MS / Dallas, TX

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Female, lesbian(? - I currently have an amazing girlfriend with whom I'm trying to figure out the long-distance thing, I've only ever dated or been interested in women, I've never been interested in a male-identifying person, but I think that if I met the right male-identifying person, I wouldn't turn them down just because of their gender)

Interests/hobbies: music (I play guitar and piano, and I sing), reading, photography, animals (my family owns a lot of them, and I've been volunteering at an animal hospital), education, psychology, rowing

Favourite books: The Speed of Light by Elizabeth Rosner, anything by Christopher Moore, anything by Jeanette Winterson, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, anything by Ken Follett, Waterland by Graham Swift, Descartes' Error by Antonia Damasio, On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins, The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

Favourite films: The House of Mirth, Gattaca, The Fountain, The Fifth Element, Definitely Maybe, The Prestige, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, the Underworld movies

Favourite music: I pretty much love all music

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters are wonderful, but I'm open and easy to please with pen-pal type things.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who enjoys the somewhat lost art of letter-writing (I love snail mail), someone who is willing to just tell me about their day

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any, I guess. Though if I'm mailing anything internationally, it will probably just be letters.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Things that are illegal to send through the mail?

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Well, right now, my dream letter would be one saying "We've enrolled you in this awesome grad school program and we're giving you a free ride and housing and a stipend!" or "We want you to come work at this awesome job which is a perfect fit for you and which pays amazingly well!", but I don't know how likely that is from this.

Anything else you'd like to add?: If I am your pen-pal, I will occasionally flake out on you, but I'll try to make it up to you. Also, I only read and write English because I am one of those sucky Americans who hasn't exposed herself to very much of world culture (though I can write about three words in Farsi).

Hi there,

so I really don't know if you're still looking for someone to write letters to, as it has been quite some time since you posted your entry.

And I don't know if you would want to write with me anyway, but I think you're kinda awesome and you seem like a nice person and so I thought I would at least comment here.

I do have an entry here in this community somewhere as well, I could go on a search and try to find it if you'd like to read it, but if not that's okay as well. :)


Hope you're doing fine, having fun, enjoying the season and all.
I personally can't wait to finally have the raining stop and the snowing begin.

Guess that's it for now. Just let me know if you're interested in being pen pals with me. :)

I had pretty much forgotten that I even posted this, but I'd still be up to having a new penpal. I'm between addresses right now (starting a new job and trying to find an apartment so I can get moved out of my parents' house), but you can e-mail me at gardenoftrust [at] gmail [dot] com and we can set something up (and that way you can introduce yourself a little better if you'd like.
