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.

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

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.
