Name:
Sandy. Unfortunately. XD

Age:
20, just a few months shy of 21.

Location:
Southern California, United States, though now that summer has officially arrived, you'll find me inside with the air conditioner on full blast. I'll come back out sometime in October, singled out as the only one without a tan.

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender)
I'm mostly lesbian, and mostly female though I flirt with the border of genderqueer.

Interests/hobbies:
I do have interests and hobbies, though if we're going to judge by how much time I spend on them, you'd think I didn't have any. I'm working full time at the moment, though when I manage to trap a moment or two for myself, you'll find me... well, no, I'm still rather boring. I read too often for my health, always carrying a book around in my bag (not purse, bag) and I even wear this fancy bibliophile badge of pride called 'glasses'. Extra thick, as a blatant symbol of my commitment and my bad habit of reading in the near-dark. I love to write and I hope to do it professionally one day, though I've hit the grand canyon of writer's blocks. I'm told that inspiration will, and always, returns, but that's a chilly comfort when I'm staring at an empty Word doc.

I suppose I've got more normal, everyday interests like movies and music, but then I'm forced to profess my blind love for musicals and I tend to lose whoever I have tricked into having a conversation with me. X3 I've recently stumbled upon the genius that is Protomen, and I have their CDs on repeat whenever I can. When the weather allows, I like wandering and I've found that everything is within walking distance if you've got the time. I've learned the bus routes pretty well and mostly by accident, because I love to spend an afternoon by seeing where a new bus takes me... subsequently getting lost and having to call up a friend so they can google wherever the hell I wound up. XD

Favorite books:
American Gods by Neil Gaiman comes as close to being my favorite book as possible, at least right now. I love anything else by him, and I dream of having those leather-bound volumes of The Sandman. The Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale, the Black Jewels trilogy by Annie Bishop, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix, anything by Tamora Pierce, Brian Jacques' Redwall series, His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, Wicked by Gregory Maguire, the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane... those are really my top books that everyone who remotely likes fantasy should read. (Can you tell it's my favorite genre?) 

Favorite films:
This is even harder to answer than the book question! D: Um, Rocknrolla, and The Boondock Saints, and I really liked Stardust but I didn't much like Coraline. I love Steamboy, absolutely amazing. I'm trying to think of what's sitting on my shelves, but I just keep thinking of more books. I love all the Pixar movies, I was really enchanted with Up, haven't seen Toy Story 3 and hating myself because of it. Can I give up? I like anything that has an interesting plotline, and if something blows up, that's fine, it's dramatic, but if it's all boobs and bombs, then no. Give me some dry humor like In Bruges or The Invention of Lying, and I'll be happy. :)

Favorite music:
This is less hard than the movie question, but only because I'm going to list who I've been listening to on youtube for the last five hours of work. Streetlight Manifesto, Cake, Great Big Sea, Poxy Boggards, Carbon Leaf, Motion City Soundtrack, The Strokes, I Fight Dragons, They Might Be Giants (haha, those two sound funny after one another) DJ Tiesto, Oceanlab, Scissor Sisters, Korpiklaani, Cloud Cult, The Killers, Airborne Toxic Event, Tim Minchin, Owl City, and one of the people who posted on here earlier said they were listening to 'Pirates' by Bullets and Octane, which I looked up and I then listened to the entire CD so they're on the list too. X3

What would you like to send/receive?:
I'll do email, but I'd love to do letters, because who doesn't love getting something in the mail that's not a bill or advertisements? XD I imagine if we start writing often enough we'll do a little bit of all mediums, and I love to send care packages with cookies, books, or CDs. I once sent a friend a box full of paper cranes, that was fun.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:
Despite being half an hour from West Hollywood, I lack any non-straight friends. No, that's not true, a good friend of mine just came out as bisexual. Anyways, I'd like to trade letters with any similarly lonesome, queer people, but I'd love to write with anyone really. :) 

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:
Any of them, please! I've never been farther than Nevada, so are you bored in Britain? Lonely in Laos? Solitary in Spain? (I do speak Spanish, and writing in it might prove a little difficult, but I could try. XD) I won't make anymore alliterations, I promise, (I might if you write to me) but yes, any and all countries welcome.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts")
I've read through a few posts, and most people said 'do not send body parts', but is it strange that I'd be fairly okay with that? I might retch for half an hour, but I've always wanted to find myself in the middle of a murder mystery, so why not. XD No, I'm kidding, please don't send me something that might make me throw up. Or anything Twilight-related, then I'll definitely throw up.

What would be in your dream letter or package?:
Home-made madelines with a hand-written letter or an original story. x3

Anything else you'd like to add?:
Daggaburdo. <3 ...and sorry for writing so much in my intro post. XD;

Picture (optional):
Sorry, I can't find a single one of me that I like that isn't in a pirate costume. Wait! Found one at the Grand Canyon. My hair's grown a bit.

I am ready to have your ill begotten alien babies. This sentence is the best thing in the world. If I had the capabilities, I would icon it.

Or anything Twilight-related, then I'll definitely throw up.

I dub thee an honorary Plutotian.

I am totally stoked to be your penpal, lady-face!
