Why hello there!
Figured that since I started the community that I might as well update and repost my details...
Name: Alice
Age: 22
Location: UK, Dorset
How do you identify?: Queer femme, and in a happy monogamous relationship.
Interests/hobbies: I am a web and graphic designer and can honestly say that I get mega nerdgasms from coding a kick-ass piece of CSS. When I'm not being a computer geek, I love reading, drawing, walking my dog, drinking tea, cooking veggie delights and baking, charity shops, collecting stuff (I am a serial hoarder of records, tacky cheap kitsch toys, vintage cameras, accordions... I should also mention that I have collected Hanson memorabilia since I was 9 years old and my quest in life is to own the Hanson skateboard and glow-in-the-dark frisbee. One can only dream...) making mix-CDs/mixtapes, DJing (badly), going to gigs/festivals, zines, crafternoons, print-making, illustration... probably tons more that I've forgotten.
Favourite books: My favourite book ever is Down And Out In Paris And London by George Orwell, but I also love the lines of: Charles Bukowski, Cormac McCarthy, William Burroughs, Poppy Z Brite, Jonathan Saffran Foer, Haruki Marukami... usually I love anything dark, bleak and preferably featuring poverty/murder/nihilism/alcoholism/teenage-angst/drug-addiction. You know the type.
Favourite films: My favourite film ever is Ghost World. Also, Les Amants Du Pont Neuf, Sunset Boulevard, Heathers, Grizzly Man, Paris Texas, Amelie, Caramel, Betty Blue, Night On Earth, a lot of movies by Pedro Almodovar, Lukas Moodysson et all... I also have a soft spot for dodgy rom-coms, 90s kids movies and camp queer classics.
Favourite music: http://www.last.fm/user/alicaurusrex - mostly indiepop, folky, americana rock'n'roll stuff.
What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, postcards, photographs, weird toys, zines, home-made crafty goodies, mix-cds, mixtapes, data discs, candy/sweets, little gifts... I don't know, stuff to make eachother surprised and smiley.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Interesting people with similar tastes and a good outlook on life that I can relate to.
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any! But I only speak English I'm afraid.
Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Nope, I'm open to anything except for nail-bombs and the like. Oh and I'm veggie so nothing meaty or gelatiney please.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: A letter, a mix-cd, some little goodies...
Anything else you'd like to add?: Well I started this community and have had a couple of nice short-term penpals from it but am still hunting for a keeper. Honestly, I am very busy a lot of the time so I am searching for a non-demanding penpal relationship... as in there isn't too much pressure to write to eachother regularly. Maybe we could just keep in touch, maybe send eachother updates and cute things occasionally, maybe not talk for a few months while we are busy and then suddenly write eachother 20 page letters out of the blue when we crave conversation. This is what I once had with a penpal but alas it is no more... and I'd love to have that again. There is nothing quite like receiving an amazing letter in the mail randomly, or pouring out your heart and posting it halfway round the world when you are feeling down (or up! or just in the mood!)
