What would you like to send/receive?: I would love to receive letters and anything that the sender would like to send. I would enjoy sending letters and little crafts or things like that.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'm not picky! :) If I sound like someone with whom you'd like to send letters then I'd love to write back.

I'm immediately attracted to your post beacuse we have the same name and because you like video games as well. (And Tegan and Sara, which is enough to make me love you already.)

Those are kind of off-the-wall reasons to strike up a conversation, but you gotta start somewhere. :) I have an intro post here:

Northampton! That's one of my favorite places. I love going to the Iron Horse for shows; ever been?

Also, my best friend goes to Smith.

And as far as awkward attempts at starting conversations go, I'd give myself an 8.

I can be somewhat charming, though: http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/68284.html
