queermailName: Very happy to give this out when we begin to correspond.
Age: 29
Location: SE London, UK.
How do you identify?: Dyke. Lesbian. Queer. Butch. Baptised. Quite frankly, long-term monogamy seems to make labels seem considerably less important, and I despise the kind of individualism that seems to boil everything down to clothes and haircut.
Interests/hobbies: Theology, camping with a tent, as opposed to with glitter(!) (when I can), cycling (occasionally), learning Latin (sometimes), exploring London (and wandering around in a non-purposeful manner), fiddling about on computers (all the time), hyperlocal blogging (frequently), cooking with and for friends (sometimes), books (social theory, theology, history), civic engagement (as in, attending meetings with random strangers) and board games (if I ever find people to play with again). I also have a strange addiction to the TV programme, House and I love the Flintstones. I really don't like these lists because I'm interested in nearly everything (with the exception of fan-fiction) and I can never remember all of the hobbies I've dabbled in.
Favourite books: Non-fiction. At the moment, I'm trying to read up on the British monarchy, but I probably have 40 books on the bedside table at any one time. I keep trying to read Karl Barth. I've got Nietzsche on the go, and I just picked up a stack of London history books. I'm a huge Stanley Hauerwas fan. I have been known to read Terry Pratchett, but I steer clear of non-fiction as it's difficult to put down.
Favourite films: I'm not really a film person. Or at least, I can't think up films that I like on demand to answer quiz questions. But I think I prefer the films that would fall into the bracket "alternative".
Favourite music: Mary Gauthier, Phranc, Andrea Gibson (is that music?), lots of other lesbian artists and some classical tracks.
What would you like to send/receive?: Letters. Hand-written ones or typed ones. I'm flexible. Postcards of unusual places or things. It would be quite fun doing a "find the weirdest postcard" swap.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I don't mind. It would probably be easier to correspond in English, but I could probably learn Yoruba if you really wanted to try something different. I'd prefer to correspond with other lesbians, but don't really mind that much.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I quite like the idea of writing letters to somebody else in London or the UK because of the strangeness of sending letters when one could just meet up. It could be a sort of counter-technology, counter-culture rebellion. But I'd also like to visit San Francisco sometime, so writing to somebody there would be great. Also, if there are any African readers here, I'd be really interested in corresponding with a queer African, but I realise that that is more unlikely. However, if you're from some other country, and you think we'd get on due to your fascination with the strange and unusual, that's fine too.
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Well, live insects wouldn't be top on my list, but I'm flexible.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: I'd be happy to receive some unusual postcards, a letter from somebody who likes to think, a postable object that you consider beautiful, a photograph you took that captured something that disappeared a moment later...
Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a queer Christian (Anglo-catholic) so would be happy to write to other queer religious folk (of any faith). Corresponding with a queer Muslim would be interesting. On the other hand, I've no issue with writing to atheists and agnostics of any stripes. I've lived happily with my partner for nearly 5 years, so if you're looking to meet somebody for a relationship, I'm probably not the person you'd want to write to.

Date: 2010-06-23 01:06 pm (UTC)As well I'd love to correspond with you. I'm not overly religious most because I have a hard time with how it mixes with me- meaning how I can still be queer and such within religion.
