What would you like to send/receive?:
I’d be happy about everything, to be honest, short letters, long letters, postcards, sweets or whatever you would like to send :)

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:
I’d prefer gay/bisexual/queer women, to be quite honest. But anyone who’s interested is fine, too :)

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:
I don’t care which country you are from, though please not from Germany, as I’d love to send and receive letters/whatever from different countries than my own. Also, I can only communicate in German and English, though I would actually prefer English, but both is fine

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?:
nothing I can think of (well, obviously nothing homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc.)

Anything else you'd like to add?:
I would love to talk with someone about the whole, you know, not-being-straight thing, as I don’t really have people in my real life to talk about that, especially because I had a rather hard time coming out even to myself. But I’m also open to anything else you want to talk about, be it politics, history, gossip, you favorite band/pet/music, etc. I would also like to get to know more about your country and the area you live in, as I find such things quite interesting. Also, we could communicate via email, but I’d prefer hand-written letters or postcards, to be honest.

 Name: Cate

Age: 21

Location: Australia

How do you identify?: Female mostly. I'm attracted to other females and i suppose i mostly identify as gay because it seems to encompass more than lesbian (don't ask how that works i don't get it either) but i absolutely love the lesbian community so i guess i identify that way too...

Interests/hobbies: Sociology (that's what i'm studying), sexuality, travelling, reading, writing, sport, tv (way too much tv)

Favourite books: I'm definitely not listing them all... if you want to know if i've read something ask... But a small selection (hopefully one that gets most of the genres i like)... Harry Potter, the Bell Jar, a few lesbian themed romance novels, and anthologies, the Death's Daughter series, Tomorrow Series, Unbearable Lightness

Favourite films: I'll watch anything with Drew Barrymore and like most of her movies... um Zombieland (i watched it last night and i think i'm in love), old disney stuff is always good, American Pie, Tin Man, Grease, Imagining Argentina, most stuff with Zooey Deschanel

Favourite music: Sarah McLeod/Superjesus/Screaming Bikini  (basically anything Sarah McLeod was involved in), Missy Higgins, She & Him, Joshua Radin, Chely Wright, The Cranberries, Counting Crows, Indigo Girls, U2, the Beatles, Spice Girls, Savage Garden (yeah i still like the 90's stuff, i've even been known to listen to Shania Twain) 

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters or emails is fine by me, i understand how expensive postage is. I'm up for the occasional small package etc/mixed cd, and i love making zentangles so if anyone else is into that i'm up for it. 

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Preferably people within a few years either way of my age (just use your common sense, i'm 21 i can't see having a lot in common with a 14 year old or a 35 year old). If you're a girl, guy, whatever, i don't mind, sometimes i'm not even sure what i am so how can i try and say i only want girls?

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Illegal stuff?

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Chocolate! Um... pretty stickers, something artistic even if it's just a cute little doodle or something. A letter with lots of stuff about what's going on in your life and something that would provoke thought. Probably some kind of quote... in a package, a mix cd so i can hear what you're listening to... maybe something unique to your country. 

Anything else you'd like to add?: Um... i'm studying sociology so anyone who has an interest somewhere around there is more than welcome. Oh and why was there no space for favourite tv shows? i guess you'll just have to ask me ;) i'm a sucker for anything with a sexy female lead though. 

Here I am

Ok, let's get this going. I had set something up with a would be pen pal several months ago, but she has since abandoned LJ. Sad days. Here's hoping this time goes better.

Name: Machelle

Age: Turned 25 in April

Location: Oklahoma

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) I don't see the point in labels, but if I did it would be bisexual

Interests/hobbies: I love to read, write, doodle, watch my favorite old tv shows on dvd *cough*Golden Girls*cough*, and listen to music. I also go through crafty phases every now and then. I can crochet, knit, sew, and my Mom is teaching me to quilt...though we may kill each other before it's all over... I also love taking pictures and scrapbooking. Oh! and movie quotes, my love for movie quotes should probably have it's own bullet point. Tattoos, I have three and have several more planned.

Favourite books: Quite a few classics, but most are from Medieval to Renaissance literature. Anything by Amy Tan. I like pretty much all of Kim Harrison's and Laurell K. Hamilton's stuff. Gone with the Wind and Scarlett. I just bought Full Dark No Stars by Steven King, and the Game of Thrones. I'm in the middle of an amazing biography on Cleopatra by someone Schiff...I think. Love it. Also, I have the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks next to my laptop. I read just about everything and almost always have at least one book within reaching distance, even if it's just on my phone...Because let's be for real. Smart phones that double as e-readers? Best Thing EVER.

Favourite films: Oh. This is going to be all sort of trouble I can tell. Well, to start out, I love and collect almost any Disney movie from my childhood. My favorite is Beauty & the Beast, I was beside myself when it was re released this year. Little Mermaid, Tarzan, Emperor's New Groove, the Aladdin trilogy, Aristocats, and Anastasia! My non animated movies favorites consist of several trilogies : LOTR, Matrix, the Rush Hours. I also love old school movies. Gidget, any Doris Day movie, Yours Mine and Ours, the one with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. White Christmas. Movies with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. And who doesn't love a good comedy or romcom? Sister Act. Two Weeks Notice. Last Holiday. The Holiday. Pretty much anything Sandra Bullock or Queen Latifah have done. This is getting ridiculous. Lets just say I love movies and leave it at that. I will quickly say that Supernatural and Golden Girls are my two favorite shows, and I also believe Joss Whedon to be a god among men...'nough said. Oh! And don't forget musicals! Never could! Producers. Wicked. Cats. Rent. those are my favorites.

Favourite music: Who can pick? I listen to just about everything. No really. Lol. I used to qualify that with the statement that I didn't listen to rap, but my bf has decided that as a ginger, and the only white best friend she has ever had that I need some swag lessons...which are failing spectacularly, in case you were curious. So now I own and like a couple cds by Nikki Minaj, Drake, Chris Brown, and some other people that I just can't remember. Country. Pop. Hip Hop. Rap. Trance. Classical. some Techno. Lots of Gregorian Chant. Musicals, I lump this in here because I have listened to more soundtracks than plays I have actually seen live, but I love them all. Fabulous stuff, this music that sings to our souls.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters. Postcards. Pictures. fun stuff.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Pretty much anyone 19+

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Oh anywhere would be exciting.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") I opposed to pretty much any food stuff. It tends not to make it to its destinations. I only know this because I sent a few care packages home from England when I spent a semester in the UK, and some of the candy didn't make it home. So, that means someone in Customs on the UK or US side grabbed a snack, bloody thieves. Just sayin'.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A letter that makes me smile and is full of heart felt words and empty of judgments.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Yup. Can anyone tell me why Youtube doesn't have a repeat button? Seriously. It would make my life sooooo much easier...no lie. Also, I should apologize for the ellipsis in advance...lol.

Anything else you’d like to add?:
Yeah, I'm looking for someone who is open-minded, awesome, has similar interests (or totally different ones), someone who likes to keep in touch and not just do this for a one time thing, one who wants to get to know me more, share inside jokes/stories, someone who would like to exchange little gifts, someone fun who doesn't always have to send a letter, it can be a postcard or a picture, someone who can get creative and making the whole penpal experience even more fun than it is. Someone like you :)

This is me :)

Name: Katherine

Age: 22

Location: USA.

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Lesbianish genderqueer

Interests/hobbies: I love to travel. I do a lot of “unconventional” things (like living out of my car, working often, mostly “unstable” jobs...and nothing illegal, in case those quotations look shady) so I can afford to do so. I haven’t considered myself a gamer since the 360/Wii/PS3 came out, but I do love video games. Reading is mandatory! I usually carry at least one book with me everywhere. In my purse right now: Shadow’s Edge by Brent Weeks, and A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, and A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Writing is sort of hit/miss nowadays. Cats, also. They’re the best :)

Favourite books: Anything with words in it. Pictures are nice but optional.

Favourite films: Horror movies are the best! So are documentaries. Anime.

Favourite music: There are things I listen to out of every genre. I usually have a few bands that I obsess over at any given time, though they constantly change and/or repeat. Currently bouncing around my head are La Dispute, Rabbit Junk, Ludo, Rise Against, and Patent Pending.

[I really suck at picking favorites. I hate doing it; “favorites” always change with my mood.]

What would you like to send/receive?: Email? I don’t really like my handwriting enough to send written stuff, but at the same time I’ve always wanted a reason to use a stationary set. So basically I’m up for anything.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: YOU.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Everywhere. Please. I speak, read, and write Spanish, but just barely. I would love to practice though :]

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. “food/candy with nuts”) [insert serial killer joke here]

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A book or a mix tape/CD.

Anything else you’d like to add?: To be honest, I’m probably going to be horrible at this. I’m very boring and uninteresting and my friends usually keep me around for occasional quips and mild amusement, and mostly for listening. But I travel a bunch if you’re interested in hearing about that, or collect postcards like I do. :D

Name: Alice, legally - a thousand other things, informally. Most often, lately, it's been spaceman or simply E [for Eric, if it matters].

Age: Twenty.

Location: United States. New Jersey, to be specific.

How do you identify?: This will be a mouthful - homoromantic asexual genderqueer. I am a girl who prefers male pronouns [I am also partial to being referred to as 'dude' and 'bro'], but I'm not and never will be FTM. I like girls. That's about it.

Interests/hobbies: Writing, editing, drawing, roleplaying, playing w0w sometimes, studying astronomy - I work at a planetarium. I'm also partial to psychology and sociology, and languages; I'm currently learning Japanese. With editing, I'm the editor-in-chief of my college's student newspaper.

Favourite books: Anything by Poppy Z. Brite, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' [Wilde], 'After Dark,' 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' [Murakami]; there is a tonne more that I cannot remember for the life of me right now. Uh.. the current book that I'm re-reading is 'The Way of Shadows,' by Brent Weeks. I have a hard time putting it down when I need to.

Favourite films: Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, How to Train Your Dragon, Breakfast on Pluto, The Royal Tenenbaums, Watching the Detectives, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Johns, But I'm a Cheerleader!, Mysterious Skin, Let The Right One In.

Favourite music: Oh, god. Basically - Radiohead, Andrew Bird, deadman, Merry, The Decemberists, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The Mars Volta, deadmau5, Caviar, Paganini, Blockhead, and Gorillaz are some of my favourites. I also love Flight of the Conchords. However, the list goes on for ages and ages.. I'll listen to just about anything. I have a very eclectic library.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail, e-mail, anything. Handwritten letters make me the happiest, however.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Everyone!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Everywhere! Bear in mind that my primary language is English, and while I'm going to be in Japanese III in the fall, I am nowhere near fluent enough to have confidence in my letter-writing skills. If anyone wants to help me, though.. :'D

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Uhh.. y'know, illegal stuff, dead things, etc. The usual. I'm allergic to coconut, in case we wind up sending each other care packages.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Long letters, drawings, mix CDs, little trinkets, uhh.. candy?? idk, man. Rainbows and giraffes and awesome things.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Stuff and things. I'm painfully awkward. It's nothing against you, if I'm shy for a long time. I really, really like giraffes. I also really like owls and crows. I adore This American Life. I'm interested in BDSM and kind-of-sort-of looking for a Dom. I am very good at doing what I'm told. I don't really like anime, but Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of my most favourite things in this universe. I have the worst sleeping habits ever. I can be pedantic and a bit of a jerk. My boss is my best friend. Elliot Smith makes me cry.

 Name: Jazzi

Age: 19 and 1/2

Location: Indiana

How do you identify?: I haven't quite figured this out yet.  I am female and closer to femme than to butch.  I am attracted to people who are intelligent, kind, and share my social and political values with little regard to outward appearance.

Interests/hobbies:  I like to knit, write, read (obviously), send obnoxiously full envelopes, record myself reading poems and poetry onto cassette tapes, draw badly, stare at the cute girl in my feminism class, and cuddle with people who are having a bad day.

Favourite books:  Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire; A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray; Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce; Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling; The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood; Possession by A. S. Bayatt; The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova; Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Full-Frontal Feminism by Jessica Valenti; Yes Means Yes by Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti; The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir; ... A lot of other things ...

Favourite films:  I haven't seen as many movies as I wish I had.  I love children's movies because I believe that the relationships are so much more believable, the humor is more light-hearted, and because I very rarely leave feeling badly about myself.

Favourite music:  I like music that is light-hearted and upbeat, generally speaking, especially folk.  Again, I am not as well-versed in music as I would like to be.  Some of the bands I listen to frequently include Mumford and Sons, Sunset Rubdown, Iron & Wine, Josh Ritter, Kimya Dawson, The Bird and the Bee, and Andrea Gibson.  (Does spoken word poetry count?  It has lyrics ...)

What would you like to send/receive?: I can knit hats and scarves, I write stories and poems for people, I make awful paintings, I tear things out of magazines, and I can record myself reading stories for you.  I'd like to send tangible letters and gifts, but I would also be okay with e-mail, since it's faster and more convenient for some people.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who is kind, has an interest in arts and/or politics, and wants to send and receive mail from me, naturally.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:  Any at all

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything with animal products:  I'm vegan

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Tea bags, lovely stories about someone's life, colorful photographs or paintings, small perfume samples, and genuine affection

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm very shy at first.  Please don't let that scare you off.

Picture: Yay, belly dancing!

hello :)

Name: kelsey

Age: 19

Location: midwest booo.

How do you identify?: a very confused female :D

Interests/hobbies: oh boy so many interests and hobbies. WELL. I'm a huge history nerd so I geek out by watching a ton of the history channel and i'm proud to say over 90% of my books are historical/political in nature if not social science in general. I also love fashion, art (i'm a studio art minor, I adore painting and photography), traveling & trying new foods, rock n roll, vintage photos, reading, playing video games to an extent: I like call of duty, ace attorney, pokemon, and the sims but I don't get sucked into them. I like walking around cities, hanging out, having fun convos, and lots of other things.

Favourite books:
i'll try not to make this long since I love reading. walk this way: the autobiography of aersomith, the dirt: motley crue, slash, a thousand splendid suns, memoirs of a geisha, the commitment, the kid, east of eden, jane eyre, presidential confidential, hamlet, great expectations, the joy luck club, freakonomics, a team of rivals, sherlock holmes, the client, etc etc etc geez I read too much.

Favourite films: : I'm honestly not too keen on movies, which I find odd since I love television shows. but my favorites are inglorious basterds, the breakfast club, and a-team. my tv shows: the league, it's always sunny, archer, community, modern family, friends, keeping up with the kardashians, gossip girl, and misfits.

Favourite music: I can legit listen to anything. but I do looove aerosmith, guns n roses, motley crue, red hot chili peppers, fleetwood mac, m.i.a, led zeppelin, the beatles, the rolling stones, and pink. but really, anything.

What would you like to send/receive?: emails! I'm a fan of those, or if you're active on here we can always be lj buds.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: people who know english since sadly I don't know enough of another language to hold a conversation. ;(

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: any is fine since it would just be email.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'd prefer to talk with people around my age since I can probably relate to them more.

Name: On LJ I go by the name Daya, I'll give you my real name if we decide to become penpals

Age: just turned 20 :)

Location: Netherlands

How do you identify?:
(sexuality/gender) Bi female

Interests/hobbies: Books, music, blogging, photography, films (all kinds), collecting stuff, learning languages (I speak Dutch and English fluently, French a little, and I can understand some German, but i'd love to learn Italian and maybe some other languages one day), playing guitar (not very good at it though), singing and songwriting (still secretly wish to become a rockstar, haha)

Favourite books: I read all kinds of genres, but a few that hold a special place in my heart are: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Vast Fields of Ordinary, Anne Frank's diary, Harry Potter, PS I love you, Thanks For The Memories (also by Cecelia Ahern), Un Secret by Philippe Grimbert, Pride & Prejudice, and.. yes, I like the Twilight books as well, so what? In my opinion, the definiton of a good book is one that stimulates one's imagination, or makes them laugh, or cry. Most books do this to me. Sometimes I also like to read fiction or non-fiction based on famous people like John Keats, Marie Antoinette, Henry VIII, Mary Boleyn, Josephine Bonaparte, Oscar Wilde, Andy Warhol... And right now I am reading the Silverchair biography by Jeff Apter, and I really love it. If you like Silverchair, you are instantly cool to me ;)

Favourite films: I prefer to watch alternative/art films, but I don't mind watching chick flicks or action movies either. Horror/thrillers are cool too. Some favourites from my endless list: Amélie, The Butterfly Effect, Little miss sunshine, The Ring, Milk, Rat Race, I'm not there, Into the wild, Brokeback Mountain, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, 500 Days of summer, Mean girls, Magnolia, Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, White Oleander, Threesome, Let the right one in, The Royal Tenenbaums, Daybreakers, The Nightmare before Christmas, Groundhog day,  Monty Python films, and anything starring Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder or Ryan Gosling.

Favourite music: Silverchair, Death Cab for Cutie, Simon & Garfunkel, A Perfect Circle, Placebo, Nine inch Nails, David Gray, Damien Rice, Bayside, Imogen Heap, Patrick Watson, Linkin Park, Escape the fate, some unsigned or unknown British bands (Midgar, Spring Offensive)... as you can see I don't do "boxes", I like mostly rock but it can be mainstream as well as alternative, and loud as well as acoustic.

Favourite tv shows: Buffy, Friends,  and many British shows like Skins, QI, Never mind the Buzzcocks, Single Father, Blackadder.

What would you like to send/receive?: anything cute/surprising/funny/interesting. I like postcards and mixtapes, but who doesn't  :) IF YOU PREFER E-MAIL INSTEAD OF SNAILMAIL, THAT'S FINE BY ME

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: anyone

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: anywhere, but it's really cool if you're from the UK because I love going there and might want to live there some day.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?:
(eg. "food/candy with nuts")  porn or illegal things

What would be in your dream letter or package?: a cd with your favourite songs, a long handwritten letter

Anything else you'd like to add?: I am very open-minded, and I hope you are too :)
I am a vegetarian, but I never try to force anyone else to become one. I like shopping from thriftstores or Etsy.com. I am fascinated by (the idea of) vampires (all kinds; Anne Rice's versions as well as Stephenie Meyer's, and of course Bram Stoker's Dracula).

Why not :D

I'm kinda bored, so I figured I'd run through this again :D I'm really not big on letter-writing, since I'm kind of swamped with schoolwork and I'm really bad about sending things out in a timely manner (seriously, the only way we get rent in on time is because we send it in online XD), so I'm mainly just looking for email buddies and/or LJ friends :)

Name: Cyrus (I go by Cy)

Age: 22

Location: Newmarket, NH

How do you identify?: Panromantic demisexual with an aesthetic preference for the male body. Also, pre-transitioned trans dude. I call myself a gay man for the simplicity. Also taken.

Cut to save your flist from my rambling... )
[identity profile] deutschtard.livejournal.com
Name: (legal in one month's time) Katerick Alixan. But you can call me Alix

Age: 24

Location: Southern California

How do you identify?: basically? A gay man in a chick body. or, if you're into labels, genderqueer transmasculine pansexual, but that is just such a mouthful. and I'm taken :3

Interests/hobbies: Writing, Reading, torturing fictional characters... But anyway, I have a lot of interests, but I also don'tget to delve into some of them as often as I'd like. I am a TOTAL language geek, and I currently am almost trilingual (english, spanish, German), but I'd like to learn about 10 more, including Finnish and Lithuanian. Yeah. I know. I'm crazy. I also love psychology and poking around inside what makes the mind tick, because crazy characters make for interesting characters. I love music, both my parents are opera singers and my dad sings on movie soundtracks, so music is always an important thing. I like a lot of computer stuff and video games as well. Oh and Roleplaying. I roleplay online, via IM, in 1 on 1 situations, I'm also up for email RPing, and if you live near me, D&D is fine too :D

Favourite books: Oh dear jesus. where to begin. I love books that are strange. I confess that since becoming a full time student on the quarter system, I have had very little time to actually READ anything, and I'm in the middle of about six books. But I really like fantasy novels, like the Night Watch series by Sergei Lukyanenko, and I'm also a fan of Warren Ellis, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, etc. I know there's a scad of books that I NEED to read, such as anything by Gaiman and Pratchett, but I just haven't yet, please don't kill me lol.

Favourite films: My mom used to be a film studies teacher, so um. almost anything. Except for really stupid movies like Jackass or movies that look to be entirely about fart jokes. My favorite genres are fantasy, psychological thriller, drama, and action movies. I fucking love action movies, especially stupid ones that are just there for the sake of LET'S LOOK AT EXPLOSIONS.

Favourite music: I prefer foreign music to American music, and my favorite genres are rock, metal, industrial and "other" since I have some strange shit in my ipod. My favorite band is a German band called OOMPH! who are listed as Rammstein's inspirations. I also like VNV Nation, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Van Canto(a capella metal, how can you NOT like that), Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Icon of Coil, Letzte Instanz, Kaizer's Orchestra.... and of course I've got a soft spot for the stuff I listened to when I was growing up like Eve 6, Crazytown, *NSYNC, old No Doubt, etc. I also have a bit of guilty pleasures, like Banghra music, and Limp Bizkit, and old seventies German pop music, or those old dance hits from the 90s that were played around the 8th grade dance.

What would you like to send/receive?: Mostly emails or IMs, I have no time to write and will frequently forget that I have mail I need to send.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: pretty much anyone? I really like to talk to other people who are somewhere around the same area as me in the gender spectrum, just because I haven't found many people to talk to about it, but outside of that? just people who share my interests.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: anywhere. If it's somewhere that English isn't the main language, I'd like to learn others, but right now German would probably be the best foreign language to send me.

I'm Zora Hurst, but you can call me Zoe.

I'm nearly sixteen.
I live in Iowa City, Iowa--my mum works at the universit ywhich is famous for writer's workshops and liberalism.

I'm a mystery... Attracted to both genders and I fancy myself a bit of a cross-dresser, though, being a teenage girl, it come off as a bit rock grunge.

I read a lot, but music is my calling. I play the bassoon, the violin, the piano and the string bass. I fence, foil-style... I'm a music whore.
Jonathan Safran Foer is an amazing writer, I've read all of his works, a well as most of Tolkein, Vonnegut, Bierce, Zola and Saki.

I adore Rupert Grint; Driving Lessons is always a favourite, I'm a sucker for Adam Sander and Will Ferrel films--I'm also a superhero junkie, mad about Spiderman and Teen Titans, Batman: The Dark Knight was sinfully deligtful. Inception gave me chills.

LA ROUX! FLORENCE + THE MACHINE! AQUALUNG! MUTEMATH! THE DOORS! MINUS THE BEAR! QUEEN! TROUBLE OVER TOKYO! MICHAEL RABINOWITZ!

I'm willing to send stories, letters, music recommendations and (probably poor, as will be reckless) advice.

Willing to recieve anything from anyone.

I read/write english (of course) a bit of French also-- I'm not fluent but I'm not completely useless.

No pictures unless I ask, I'm not willing to part with mine easily either, so it may come off frigid, but I'm trying to ease the pressure.

Just intoduce yourself, tel me something strange; the color of your socks, how you like your eggs, a pair of shoes  you wold kill for... Anything, really

Warning: I've a horribly religious mum, so if you don't get  response as quick as you'd like, just know I'm finding a way to get around the constant hounding.

Am off to celbrate the greatest of weekends: Labor Day,

Zora Hurst

[identity profile] leon-krouser.livejournal.com

Name: Amanda Traci Nicole Stevens

Age:
22

Location:
Albany or Long Island, New York

How do you identify?:
(sexuality/gender) Lesbian leaning towards pansexual all wrapped with the added confusion of being a trans female who identifies as gendqueer. If you were able to make sense of all that, please help me figure out the labyrinth. I would greatly appreciate it.

Interests/hobbies:
Hmm. This could take awhile and I am trying to do this in a way that doesn’t make me seem boring. Well, first and foremost I am writer and most of my hobbies float around that and being a nerd. So, I spend a lot of time maintaining my blogs (although my LJ has fallen to the wayside), writing poetry, or working on my memoir. The rest of time is occupied with hanging out with friends, playing Magic the Gathering, or playing games on Steam. I am a huge nerd, so comics and video games and anime and manga are all aces in my book.

Favourite books:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, A Clockwork Orange, The Alcoholic, The Watchmen, Transmetropolitan, Bi Any Other Name, My Gender Workbook, Worst, and way too many other things to announce. Its mainly a huge mixture of manga, comics, graphic novels, gender studies, and whatever sparks my interest.

Favourite films:
This will be the extremely short list otherwise this would be extremely long to read. Clerks, Mallrats, Red Dawn, Fame(the original), Half Baked, The Matrix, Fight Club, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, But I’m a Cheerleader, Camp

Favourite music:
System of a Down, Bayside, Common, Daft Punk, Asian Kung Fu Generation, Rip Slyme, Nine Inch Nails, Monkey Magick, Yoshida Brothers, Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Streetlight Manifesto, Big D and the Kids Table.. Ok so this could go on forever and I don’t think you’d get what I like. I listen to everything from punk rock to j pop. It all just depends on my mood. So if you like something I will probably will also.

What would you like to send/receive?: 
As far sending goes I have no real preference. Just ask and I will try to accommodate. The same goes for receiving. There is nothing I would mind getting. I am a fairly creative person so the more creative the better. But don’t feel pressured

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:
To be completely honest, anyone. I mean, I am a social butterfly, so I love just meeting and getting to know all people.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: 
This is the only time I am going to sound selfish. I would love to get mail from anywhere in the world, but my funds are limited. So, I will try to work anywhere but I can’t guarantee it will be speedy.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?:
(eg. "food/candy with nuts")

What would be in your dream letter or package?: 
Um, well anything super creative. Otherwise, send me your dream letter or package. That will probably make me the happiest. No lie.

Anything else you'd like to add?:
UM. That I can think of. Just have fun, I know I will.

Name:
Lindsay

Age:
Ripe ol' age of 21

Location:
Northwest Territories, Canada aka really far up there

How do you identify?:
Queer/cis-female

Interests/hobbies:
I'm gonna be honest and upfront and say that one of my biggest interests is babes. Other than that, I'm really into movies and live music, queer and trans activism, volunteering, reading, hanging out with friends whether it's watching movies, camping, beers on someone's deck or dancing at a club. I'm a pretty openminded person and I'm pretty happy doing just about anything. Oh! And now that it's summer time, I'm super into swimming and being outdoors.

Favourite books:
Junk by Melvin Burgess, Lucky by Alice Sebold, Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg, Crybaby Butch by Judith Frank, Godspeed by Lynn Breedlove, Push by Saphire, Anything written by Ivan Coyote

Favourite films:
The Whale Rider, Party Monster, Lost and Delirious, Now and Then, Girl, Interrupted, The Reader, Doubt, Hotel Rwanda, Save the Last Dance, Dan in Real Life, Little Miss Sunshine, Sunshine Cleaning, Boys Don't Cry, American History X

Favourite music:
I like to think I'm pretty open to most kinds of music but realistically, I'm mainly into folk/accoustic and rap. I know, it's a really weird combo. I'm also really into the local music scene in my hometown of Halifax, NS so you might not recognize many of the artists. My faves are: Jenn Grant, Meg Hutchinson, Eminem, Drake, Billie Holiday, Sublime, A Tribe Called Quest, Sage Francis, Missy Higgins, Ani DiFranco, Amelia Curran, Ria Mae, Rose Cousins, Kim Wempe, The Gossip, Immortal Technique, Jill Barber, Lauryn Hill

What would you like to send/receive?:
Post cards, packages, letters, CDs, photos ~ oh and adult images and literature are totally cool with me

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?:
I'd prefer someone my age or older, though. Other than that, any gender/gender identity, sexual orientation, location, age. I'm totally open to everything.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?:
Anywhere!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?:
I'd be a little sketched out if I got food in the mail and I'm not really into adding anybody to Facebook but other than that, I'm good with whatever!

What would be in your dream letter or package?:
I'm really into getting zines in the mail. So maybe a zine or two, a couple of photos and whatever else you can cram into an envelope.

Anything else you'd like to add?:
I live in a super tiny, isolated Arctic community and there isn't a whole lot that I do so I'm a pretty prompt penpal! The only problem is that because I'm so isolated, mail takes a little while to get in and out of the community so you'd have to be a patient penpal. But with that said, I can send you some pretty cool things that you don't/can't find in the rest of the world!
