Bonsoir,

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

Name: Isabel (Lili, Isa, Izzy, Lizzy, ...)

Age: 24ish

Location: Paris, France

How do you identify?: As a queer loving lesbian who just tries to be herself.

Interests/hobbies: Reading, writing, baking, cooking, watching movies, watching tvshows, painting, (badly) drawing, spending way too much hours on the internet, hiking, watching rugby/tennis/handball on tv or live, sleeping, going to the theater, chatting the night away with friends

Favourite books: Her Lover (Albert Cohen), Thursday Next's adventure (Jasper Fforde), Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë), Secret Garden (Frances H. Burnett), Daddy-Long-Legs (Jean Webster), Middlesex (Jeffrey Eugenides), Thresold (Sara Douglass), a good Mills & Boon (or Harlequin), anything Jennifer Cruisie ...

Favourite films: Avalon, Ghost Dog, Luna Papa, Dirty Dancing, Layer Cake, Secretary, Jab We Met, Jason Bourne's trilogy, Sleeping Beauty, La Belle et La Bête, any epic movie made in China

Favourite music: I don't have favorites, I have periods. But I do know I don't really like most of the rap music.

What would you like to send/receive?: I can send books in french, write letters in french/english, small care-packages, and if you are a cooker who wanna exchange recipes, that would be terribly fabulous. As for what to receive, letter for sure, pictures, and I also enjoy little bits and pieces (nothing cut from any human body, mind you) from abroad. 

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who feel they might bring me something. It's quite wide as a description, but I'm not picky. Also, I speak fluent french and english (second language) and have a very shaky german.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: From anywhere in the world. And I can send letters (anywhere in the world) and packages (anywhere as long as it's not too expensive to ship)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Avoid cinnamon at all cost. My life depends on it. That and body parts and anything remotely illegal.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: a hand written letter, a picture taken from your window, some trinklet found at the market (earrings, necklace, random thing which use is still unknown, ...), some tea, some of your favorite music (or at least recommendations), a notebook, a book. Little things that makes life worthwhile.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I just had my last exam ever. It's just so good to say it. And if you are in Paris, I'm there until december, so feel free to drop a line.

You sound crazy awesome...(and you're lovely). Would you mind me adding you? (-:

I'm at http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/96115.html

^.^

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

I don't mind you adding me (and I'm adding you as well.)
Your entry was quite interesting, and I'd be happy to talk with you about life and books and beliefs (I need to do some research about yours, is it as fascinating as it sounds?)

[bindingsilence.livejournal.com]

Yaay! I hope you think so....I *love* discussing belief....I could do it for hours and hours. I've added you...and I can't wait to talk! :-)

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

Due to my crazy moving schedule, I won't be able to mail you until sunday (tomorrow is the gay pride in Paris and this year I am not sick like the past 3 years so i'll attend) but be sure that I will :)

My email address is xlilibelx @ gmail . com

(and I get what you say about "so many new people names to remember!")

Looking forward discussing with you :)

[sachtastic.livejournal.com]

Wow, Jasper Fforde? I love his books to the point of ridiculousness; I've read all but the last one. I'd quite like handwritten letters too, contrary to what my intro says (people aren't so open to that tbh; I don't know why).

I like cooking too, but I'm hopeless. I act with far more enthusiasm than skill. :)

Im here: http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/93645.html

So if you're interested in exchanging letters with me, pm me and I can give you my address

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

I'm late on schedule when it comes to book and seems to have missed at least the two last release. But now that studying is a thing of the past, I may be able to read them (along with the 100+ books on my pile).

I love snail-mail. I hate only receiving bills in the mailbox (and now, with more and more bill being sent via e-mails ... I am left with ads for PizzaHut.) And I may respond more quickly to snail-mail than to an email.

I prefer baking over cooking, but due to my life as a travelling student, I mainly cook pasta and dream of owning an oven.

I'll pm you tomorrow. Now, it's bed time as it's 2am here.

ohmygod, I want to practise my French with you. Can I practise my French with you? ohmygod. This is me being excited, by the way. >_< haha.

And you are adorable! And you like billiards! YAY!

Oh, no! Cinnamon death? That sounds scary. :/

I can send books in french

-squee-

Ce moi. (http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/87555.html)

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

Haha of course you can practise french with moi. Would be lovely.

I liked you entry, you seem lively and just full of !!! I like that :D

And the billiard was the star of that evening pictures. 60 students that are just meeting in a paid by school seminar, before starting 2 semesters together. I love billiard. I suck at it. Love it.

Too much BigRed kill the cinnamon buds in the tongue. And leave one with massive allergy to the damn thing (which sucks a lot. I love cinnamon.)

I'm adding you, feel free to do to :)

[eerisedda.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I remember Big Red. Oh, how did that slogan go... "it's the freshest"? Or was that something else? I can't remember. -headdesk-

And yay! I will add you back!

I love billiards. I grew up around it. My big brother had a table in our garage when I was five, so it is one of those things, whenever I see a pool table, I have to play. It's an uncontrollable urge. :)

I am so excited to practise French with you! My French is seriously lacking, even after a semester of it. I think it's because I was dumb enough to take on French 1 and Japanese 1B at the same time.

And thank you! try to be as !!! possible. heh heh. I like enjoying life. To its fullest.

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

^^
It was one of those thing I brought back from the US when I did some school exchange as a kid and I loved them.

Yeah, maybe taking two new langages at the same time wasn't for the best. Especially two completely different alphabets. I'll be glad to pen down some words for you :)

've come to this conclusion recently. I don't regret it :D

[eerisedda.livejournal.com]

That's so awesome that you did exchange stuff as a kid. I wish I had done that.

Ah, well, it wasn't the alphabets that got me really. I'd already know the Japanese system of writing (Hiragana and Katakana) two years before taking French, so that wasn't it. It was just so much work. And I was also doing college applications for transfer at the same time! I had five classes altogether. I think that more than anything really was a bad idea. If I had only been taking French and Japanese, or those two and queer studies it would have been okay. But I just like to pile on the work for some reason. >_<

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

Hey :)

I have something like 12 years of German behind me and still fail dramatically at it. I understand it but making myself understood is another thing ^^

I like your taste in music and your choice of movies.

Hey,
I read your profile and would really enjoy exchanging letters and parcels with you too :)
I'm going to be moving from one couch to another in the next 10 days, until I settle for the summer, so once I am sure of an address, I'll mail it to you.
If you want to mail yours at xlilibelx @ gmail . com, I'll try to send you a postcard in the upcoming days :)

I saw How to train your dragon yesterday and loved it. So much cuteness in one movie.

Would be delighted to exchange words with you, in French and/or in English :)

My email is xlilibelx @ gmail . com, if you wish to send me your address. Mine is not really sure for the moment, as I'm in between places. Will now in about 10 days I guess.

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

*lj ate my reply*

I just saw How to train your dragon and loved the amount of cuteness packed in this movie.

My email is xlilibelx @ gmail . com, if you feel like giving me your address. I am not sure what mine is (am going to be couch surfing for the next 10 days before having a proper place) so for the moment I can't give any.

Looking forward to talk with you :)

[sunshinesounds.livejournal.com]

I love your dress! What sort of cooking/baking do you like?

[lilibel.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

I like any kind of baking. Lacking of an oven in my numerous student flats, I have to wait to go back to my parents when I wanna bake. I had a huge cookies period. Now, I'm more into cakes and the like. When it come to cooking, I like to test different ways to make my pasta look like something better than pasta and I like to try recipes I have seen my mum do for years. Overall, I like to bake/cook thngs that have a homey feeling.
