queermailName: Elisabeth! Though I often go by Liz, Lizzi, and on occasion Lizzi-beth or "Betsy." ..I prefer not to go by Betsy.
Age: 23
Location: For the next week and a half, Oslo, Norway. I've been living here since January finishing up my bachelor's degree for my home university in the states. In July I'll be going to England, France and Luxembourg to visit family, then it's back home to Alabama in the United States. :)
How do you identify?: Bisexual.
Interests/hobbies: Traveling. Oh, am I ever so addicted to traveling. @.@ But aside from that, I've got a budding passion for cooking, in addition to my seasoned hobbies of role-playing games, Renaissance festivals, and other nerdy things. I'm also a Doctor Who fanatic, and David Tennant will forever be my favorite Doctor.
Favourite books: I'm a fantasy book nut, so I'll read anything high fantasy if I think it's got a strong narrative. But I'm also a sucker for 19th and early-to-mid 20th century literature; I love Middlemarch, The Charioteer, and Maurice for example. ...and the Sagas of Icelanders, which is part of what dragged me across the pond to Norway in the first place. :)
Favourite films: The Red Violin, Chocolat, Fight Club, Dead Poet's Society, Amélie, Pans Labyrinth, Everything Is Illuminated, Mr. Nobody, Dr. Strangelove, Tatt av Kvinnen, Flammen og Citronen, Tomme Tønner. I'm a sucker for Nordic movies.
Favourite music: Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, The Pixies, Pink Floyd, Yes, Muse, Massive Attack, Jonathan Coulton (nerd music, hooray!), Sufjan Stevens, Phillip Glass, Sigur Rós, Ampop, Mugison, Daniel Águst, Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, to name just a few.
What would you like to send/receive?: I love letters. I guess that's pretty basic stuff, isn't it, but I really do love receiving just letters. I'm flexible, though, so whatever you feel like sharing is okay with me. :)
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who feels like sharing, really :) Though I guess I'm really interested in getting to know other Southern queers, since we're a bit hard to track down out in the open. However, since I'll be moving to England in 2011, I wouldn't mind receiving letters from Britons as well. I'm generally all right with sending packages across the pond; doesn't bother me much.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: There are no limits to this one. :D As I said, I'm addicted to traveling, so I'm okay with receiving stuff from lots of places around the world.
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Nothing so large that it requires me to go down to the post office to pick it up.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: A personalized letter with some photographs, maybe a keychain or something trinket-y from where you live. :)
Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a pretty content and happy Christian (of the Episcopal/Anglo-Catholic variety), and always love talking about faith with other Christians, or people who are curious about what I believe. I'm contemplating entering seminary school in a few years in order to seek ordination as a priest, so if there's anyone out there who has gone through something similar, I definitely want to hear from you.
