Name: Sarah

Age: 26

Location: New York

How do you identify?: Cisgender female/straight - queer ally

Interests/hobbies: I have a permanent case of wanderlust and want to go all over the world. I read a lot. I like music a lot - I have a ukulele and a synthesizer and I keep promising myself I will learn how to play them, and then I don't, but I love love love both. I'd also like to learn the cello and the accordion. I'm an absolute film and TV addict. I don't know how I functioned before the internet. I don't know if feminism, anti-racism, and social activism really belong in interests/hobbies but let's put 'em here anyway.

Favourite books: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Girl, The Savage Detectives, A Prayer for Owen Meany

Favourite films: Almost Famous, Mysterious Skin, Gattaca, The History Boys, The Adventures of Sebastian Cole, Sense & Sensibility, Billy Elliot... the list goes on...

Favourite music: The Beatles, Beirut, Metric, Pulp, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, Patrick Wolf, Blondie, The Decemberists. Again, I could go on for a while.

What would you like to send/receive?: letters, postcards, mix CDs, crafts, newspaper/magazine clippings, tchochkes, and doo-dads

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Whoever and anybody.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any and all!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Can't think of anything specific. I'm not overly fussed for food I guess, but even then I could probably be enticed by some chocolate chip cookies.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: My dream package would have to include Joshua Jackson with a marriage proposal and the band Beirut with their crazy assortment of instruments to play live at the ceremony. A blank check would be nice too. In reality though, a mixtape with music that makes me deliriously happy, pretty pictures, something that makes me laugh - I love good surprises so the perfect package for me would be something truly surprising. 

Anything else you'd like to add?: I hate bugs - even butterflies and ladybugs creep me out. I also hate birds, but love penguins and owls. Right now I have a desperate craving for chocolate chip pancakes but I don't actually feel like making them. I speak very small and random smatterings of several different languages because roughly once a month I decide to learn a new language but I get frustrated very easily and also have a sucky memory for words. People who insult Peter Doherty in front of me get a stern telling off.
