Name: Lianne

Age: 32

Location: Makati, Philippines

How do you identify?: Female, femme-looking, with butch tendencies. I like a girl that knows how to be girly and lets me take control sometimes, but at the same time can take the wheel and make me feel tiny and precious and cared for.

Interests/hobbies: Papercrafting, particularly scrapbooking; cooking, reading, collecting glass and porcelain bunnies and cats, musical theatre.

I love animals, cats in particular.

Favourite books: Tipping the Velvet, The Harem of Aman Akbar, What Einstein Told His Cook, Table for One, White Oleander, The Well of Loneliness, The Anne of Green Gables series, and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, to name a few.

Favourite films: I’m not a big film buff, and though I enjoy movies I don’t have a lot of all-time favorites. I liked Amelie, Chocolat, and quite a few Disney animated movies, though.

Favourite music: Showtunes, indie music, and some pop. My favorite artists include Kristen Chenowitz, Melissa Etheridge, Storm Large, Jewel, The Corrs, Sting, Lily Allen, Up Dharma Down, Lorena McKennit, Miley Cyrus (just the music, people), Taylor Swift, Massive Attack, Jennifer Terran, and Sarah McLachlan.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail, postcards, cards, occasional packages, bookmarks, mail clippings, photos, used bus tickets, used tickets to whatever with a story attached, anything that tells me what that person’s day was like, what their life is like. Pretend love letters are nice, too.


Who would you like to send mail to and receive mail from?: While I’m pretty open to receiving mail from anyone who feels that they’d like to share of themselves and get to know someone new, I’d love to find Queer crafting people or Queer foodies who would also like to exchange mail. Or pet lovers. Or people interested in Filipino food and culture and would like to exchange information about their own.

I'm also open to serving as a writing partner for those who would like to just write love letters to the character in their head.


What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I’m interested in mail from anywhere but my own country – I’ve a group here too, and am looking to expand my horizons. However, those who live far away, like, the Netherlands, for example, will have to be a bit patient with me. I’m not exactly loaded and it might be a few weeks between letters.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: The following will ensure that you never receive a reply from me: any paraphernalia with gore or excrement (yes, someone once sent me a piece they scribbled on with blood), animal or human body parts, or religious paraphernalia in the interest of converting me.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Something that shows me something about what you believe in, where you live, your culture, your thoughts. I also love anything handmade.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I’m pretty easygoing, and I’m really curious about other people, but I’m pretty shy and slow to disclose things, so maybe it would be nice if you would ask questions in the first few letters. I’d also like to exchange emails first before we start snail mailing.

I've been told I'm quite sensual, and have no problem with someone who would like to send adult-themed letters (I'm sorry if this isn't allowed, mods?), but it would be nice if we establish that first from friendly, get-to-know you emails.

Hope to hear from you, potential pen pal. Please leave an email address, or send me a PM, and I'll get right back to you. :)

Name: Karen, but you can also call me Kaz or Kazzy.

Age: 22

Location: I live in Newark, NY. I attend college in Houghton, NY.

How do you identify?: I suppose I would identify myself as a Lesbian..still trying to work that out. I find certain guys handsome, but being in a relationship with a guy isn't appealing to me now.

Interests/hobbies: Hanging out/watching movies with friends, animals (especially cats, dogs, wolves, horses, and foxes), baking, making people smile, reading, walks, rain, sunsets, a little photography, watching thunderstorms, playing pokemon, taking naps, staying up too late, my kitties, my Betta fish, and I have a slight obsession with Harry Potter. ^_^;

Favourite books: Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice, The Sight by David Clement-Davies, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, and I'm going to begin reading Eragon soon. I have a couple more books I want to read before the summer's over. I keep having Twilight suggested to me, but no thank you. My loyalty is to Harry Potter. XD

Favorite TV shows: I don't usually watch too much TV. My favorite show is Whose Line is it Anyway?, but I also like to watch MythBusters and Man v. Food.

Favourite films: How to Train Your Dragon (I have a Betta named Toothless that I bought the same day I saw the movie :D), The Princess and the Frog, Harry Potter (the books are soooo much better, though), Lord of the Rings, Pride & Prejudice (both the 1995 and 2005 version), Save the Last Dance, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Music and Lyrics, Serenity...and more.

Favourite music: For the past oh..4 or so years, I've listened mainly to Christian music. Like Skillet, This Beautiful Republic, Wavorly, and Fireflight. But I also enjoy Tegan & Sara, Taylor Swift, Evanescence, and Daughtry. I'm totally open to suggestions. :)

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, pictures, and drawings if you draw and feel like sharing. Emails are okay at first. Packages are fine too.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I would especially like to send/receive mail from bisexual or lesbian females.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: It doesn't matter that much..but I only know English.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything questionable or inappropriate.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A cute stuffed animal, a few pictures, and a letter that makes me smile. :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm Christian, but am open-minded. I've only recently (as in the past month), come to accept that I like girls. I've been with girls in the past, but when I became Christian, I basically suppressed it because I was told it was "wrong". But I'm not going to lie about who I am anymore, nor do I think it's wrong. Needless to say, I have not told most of my Christian friends. I already lost one of my best friends when I told her, and she won't be the only one when other people find out. So, I'm really looking for friends (or something more, to be honest) I can talk to and that will accept me. I hope some of you are interested..^_^;

This is me with one of my kitties, Bobo. I love him so much. :)

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

Interests/hobbies: Fandom (huge fangirl here), reading (books and fan fiction), travel, theatre (I've seen Wicked four times and on a recent trip to NYC spent every night at the theatre), shopping, watching movies and tv shows, listening to music, and food (cooking it and eating it).

Favourite books: To Kill a Mockingbird, Number the Stars, Diary of Anne Frank, Too Deep for Tears, Between Mist and Midnight, The Harry Potter series, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Little House series, John Grishman novels, and Danielle Steel novels.

Favourite TV shows: Some current and former favorites: Southland, Chuck, The Closer, Drop Dead Diva, Army Wives, The Good Wife, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Medium, Bones, Dead Like Me, Alias, Cold Case, Mercy, Psych, FlashForward, Modern Family, Pushing Daisies, and The West Wing.

Favourite music: I love country and most Top 40 songs and have a strong affinity for the music of the 1950s/60s. It isn't so much about the artist but about the song; I'm a fan of songs and if I find an artist with a lot of songs I like then that's awesome. Love Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Pink, Frank Sinatra, The Temptations, The Supremes, and some Bob Dylan.

What would you like to send/receive?: I have no clue, guess I'd have to think about it.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") No adult material or anything illegal.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I just love mail (of any kind) but there is something special about snail mail.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm not a fan of Twilight. I was born and raised in Southern California in a Republican family who has no clue what to do with me. My major is American Studies but I have no clue what I want to do once I graduate. I love music, movies, and books. If I'm not reading or watching tv chances are I'm on the computer.

[identity profile] daiyaonna.livejournal.com
Name: Diamond ; Dai

Age: 23

Location: Kentucky, USA

How do you identify?: Gay, Lesbian. (Not really a huge fan of labels though.)

Interests/hobbies: I spend a lot of time working, so I suppose that could be an interest (??) even if I'm not overly fond of it. Other than that, I like writing fiction (couldn't write poetry to save my life), reading, roleplaying, venturing to the movies, hanging out with my sister, collecting stationary and hats.

Favourite books: I'll read almost any and everything I can get my hands on, but a current list of authors I seem to be really into: Poppy Z. Brite, Rob Thurman, Sarah Monette, Ginn Hale, Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett. I've also taken to reading a lot of translated foreign books; currently Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko ♥

Favourite films: This is always a tough one for me. I could list several: Star Dust, MirrorMask, Dawn of the Dead, The Count of Monte-Cristo, Push, Desperado. I'm also a fan of those terrible B movies, anything in relation to zombies, and dubbed kung fu flicks. Oh, and the occasional anime.

Favourite music: Also tough, since I have varying taste. Foreign (Korean, Japanese, German, French, etc.), Instrumental, Rock, Pop. I do enjoy 10 Years and a lot of Lady Gaga.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything at all, I'm open ~

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone! Although, preferably English since that's the only language I actually understand. Most of the time. My two years of Japanese and three years of French are kind of...useless at this point.

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: As long as it's not indecent or racy. It's pretty difficult to offend me, but I don't wish anyone else to be scarred for life.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A book or a drawing. I do love to draw when I have the time, and sending/receiving things like that always make things more interesting!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a text addict. No, really. I love to do that just as much as any of my other hobbies; I suppose I should have stuck that up there. So, if we get to know each other a little better (and you're capable of texting and would like to), I wouldn't mind giving my phone number for that to happen! :D

Name:  Lisa

Age: 20

Location: New England, USA

How do you identify?: I am really uncomfortable with labels.  I don't feel particularly drawn to any sexuality/gender labels, specifically, but I'm repelled from others.  I love "queer," let's leave it at that.

Interests/hobbies: Procrastinating, reading (specifically experimental genres, magical realism, poetry,) art (modern, specifically dada/surrealist/conceptual), avoiding being creative, making mixed cds/tapes, listening to music and dancing around by myself, live shows, taking baths, lighting candles n a non-neo-pagan way, feminism, gender/queer studies, riot grrrl, countercultures, subcultures, sociology, anthropology, folklore, fairy tales, social politics, gossip, junk food, secrets

Favourite films: I am intrigued by Todd Solondz films.  Otherwise, my personal film collection looks like it's owned by a male, gay, art, drug addicted snob.  Take that for what you will.

Favourite music: I will be that douchebag who says that my music transcends boundaries... except it does.  I have interests in all genre, but I am particularly intrigued by anything angry, loud, experimental, or from the first half of the nineties... let's talk blind melon and bikini kill.

What would you like to send/receive?: First I'd like to get to know you online, for a while.  Than I'm open; I'd prefer commitment to long letters.  Mixed cds are always loved.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'd like to meet people interested in queer politics/gender queer exsistence.  While anyone is welcome, I love radicals.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to? Let's stick to America.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Not particularly.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A long, rambling letter from a friend written on interesting paper.  A mixed cd/tape is a must, the more the better.  Zines.  Books.  Artwork.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I feel disconnected from the queer community, and I feel invisible/underrepresented/empty.  Help me fix that!

Name: JD (two letters, easy to remember)

Age: 27

Location: Idaho, USA

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Officially, I have no sexuality. I took a vow of celibacy 8 months ago. But prior to that I was pretty flagrantly bisexual. And by that, I mean I like what I like, and what ever's between the legs is fine by me. I'm male, but the inner gay man likes to escape now and again. Actually I am FTM, but far enough along in my transition, I rarely have to say that outloud any more.

Interests/hobbies: Dogs and Horses. I make a living training dogs and horses. So they take up the primary amount of my focus. I studied English (creative writing) in college, and fancy myself something of an author, but hesitate on being published because I am an oddity like that. I live and breathe music, including performing at a bar on sunday nights. I read a lot. I am into biking, swimming, hiking, camping, and any sport that could potentially kill me. I played baseball growing up, and am a first degree blackbelt. I do most of the repairs on my ancient and decrepit but beloved truck myself. I am a hardcore geek at heart. I role play, I show up to movie premieres in costume, and I'm unapologetic about it. And I do karaoke a couple of nights a week with my band, because I'm that kind of nerd. I also collect antique books.

Favourite books: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (James Joyce), Picture of Dorian Grey
(Oscar Wilde), The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher), The Crucible (Arthur Miller), The Courtship of Princess Leia (David Wolverton...yes I am a star wars junkie). Out of Sight (Elmore Leonard), Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurty), About a Boy (Nicolas Hornby), and anything by Hemmingway.

Favourite films: This will be a long list.Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Rebel with out a Cause, Star Wars (episodes IV through VI), Star Trek IV, Blade Trinity, Shawshank Redemption, 500 Days of Summer, Lethal Weapon 3, Terminator, Terminator 2, Stargate, John Carptener's Vampires (I kind of have this thing for bad vampire movies...), Lost Boys, Ocean's 11 (original and the remake), Serenity.Butch Cassidey and the Sundance Kid. And musicals. I love music, so naturally I love musicals. Newsies, RENT, West Side Story, and Sound of Music are amongst my favorites.

Favorite TV shows: (I'm adding this, because I love tv. A lot. It's probably my favorite medium). The X Files (it goes first because it was the single greatest thing to ever grace the airwaves), Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Profiler, Stargate (SG1 and Atlantis), Supernatural, Castle, GLEE, Sliders, Torchwood, Burn Notice, Pysch, the Big Bang Theory, Star Trek (TNG mostly, but I watched them all)...thank the gods for DVR, right?

Favourite music: I'll just list a couple, because when it comes to music I have only one philosophy: if it's good, I'll listen to it. But my favorites include: Bad Religion, Green Day, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin (best bad ever), The Beatles, the Doors, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Garth Brooks, Broadway Classics (especially music from Miss Saigon and Les Mis). Sex Pistoles, The Ramones, and Hair bands. Mostly it's classic rock, with a sprinkling of whatever the hell else I find during a youtube crawl.

What would you like to send/receive?: Anything really. I'm open to all kinds of new expierences and things. Though I gotta say someone who could turn me on to new books and music and movies would be awesome. And I like letters. There is something very satisfying about opening the mailbox and there being a letter there (amongst all the bills) just for you. I like hand written, or typed, and I say that with the notion in mind that my handwriting is virtually a foreign language. So if you go that route with me, consider this fair warning.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone. Any where. Any time. Bring it on.

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") I'm allergic to soy and mustard seed. SO yeah that wouldn't be really usable for me. Also, I am willing to discuss religious philosophy, but conversion tactics aren't appreciated. Otherwise, bring it on!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Hand written letter, or letters depending on how often one is sending such things. Something that would have taken time to construct, and shows thought and effort. And mix CDs of new music from all over the place. Maybe other writer's works just for fun.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Not really. I'm pretty approachble, or I try to be. I think I'm fun, or at least I'm told I am by those who insist on calling me friend. I'm part old school cowboy, part punk rock revolutionary, and a significantly committed daredevil. I also practically never sleep.

Name: Star

Age: 16

Location: California, USA

How do you identify?: Recently out (apparently femme) lesbian, though I identified as bisexual/pansexual from middle school up until mid-sophomore year.

Interests/hobbies: I love opera, ballroom dancing, deep conversations, literature, art, and basketball. I don’t play sports (competitive ballroom dancing not included), but I love to watch. I’m a self-identified Trekkie as well, so watch out.

Favourite books: Hunchback of Notre Dame (all-time favorite), Harry Potter series, Count of Monte Cristo, Phantom of the Opera, Pride and Prejudice, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, anything Edgar Allan Poe, the Sherlock Holmes series, Night, Julius Caesar, Fahrenheit 451, The Silence of the Lambs series, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Angels and Demons, FanFiction, comics (notably the Batman comics)

Favourite films: Edward Scissorhands, The Cabinet of Doktor Caligari, Phantom of the Opera (Lon Chaney Sr.), Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, The Star Trek series, All the Queen’s Men, Dark Knight, Labyrinth, But I’m a Cheerleader, The Crow, Nightmare on Elm Street (original series), Were the World Mine, Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Disney’s The Lion King

Favourite music: I love all different types of music. Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Lady Gaga, Mozart, Andre Rieu, Malice Mizer, Gackt, Voltaire, Frank Sinatra, Run DMC, Alex Swings Oscar Sings!, Sondheim, The Beatles, Garou, Miyavi- to name a few.

What would you like to send/receive?: Emails, though I’m big on the instant-messaging (as I can access it from any location). I don’t give out my address to just anyone for obvious reasons.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who doesn’t classify as a creeper basically.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I don’t have a preference, though I am in the process of learning Spanish (semi-fluent) and Japanese (beginner’s level), so someone living in a country where either is spoken would be a perk.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Well, actual in-your-postbox mail at the moment, and e-mail spam would be a no.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I’d have to say a well-written letter full of ideas and emotions. It’s always interesting to hear what other people have to say, and their feelings on different topics. I don’t care much for material items, sentimentality counts more.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I’m not usually visibly logged onto LiveJournal, but I’m good at keeping up correspondence- even once I’m immersed in school. I'm an active council member at my school's GSA- and I care a lot for LGBT politics. I'm also Jewish, though more reformed.

Name: Crissy

Age: 22

Location: Louisiana, USA

How do you identify?: Effeminate female. *wears a lot of skirts*... I'm either: (a) bisexual with a tendency toward women; (b) a lesbian; or (c) pansexual, because I still think my ideal partner might be a cross-dresser, haha. I'm really not into labels because then it's like you have to be/act in a way that depicts that model. I'm more of a a "I am what I am" type person.

Interests/hobbies: Um... I love Japan for more than its anime and manga. I'm 2/3rd's finished with my psychology degree (possible art minor). I draw and paint, and write poetry that comes out in splatters but for some reason people still like it. I appreciate nature, coffee, and drag queens. I love opera and steaks. I'm crazy yet down to earth, emotional yet rational. I'm spiritual but not religious. I love talking to new people! When I'm not being in depth, I'm very random: expect anything and everything. I get wayyyy too much pleasure out of organizing. Art and music and creativity fuels my soul. I can't help but think too much. I love corsets and lace and painting my fingernails black. I can get way too hyper about things. I like to send people random stuff, bwaha.

Favourite books: I'm not ashamed to say that I really don't do books. I like a few manga series (Kuroshitsuji, Loveless, Godchild, etc.) because I can sit and ogle at the gorgeous artwork like a five-year-old. Otherwise, I enjoy some good poetry every now and then, but I love reading articles and non-fiction things more than I will ever enjoy a fiction novel. I enjoy reading about psychology (obviously), philosophy, art, sexuality, mythology, spirituality, culture... The list goes on!

Favourite films: Moulin Rouge, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, August Rush, Phantom of the Opera, V for Vendetta, Guys and Dolls, The Eye (original Chinese), various other Asian films. Wolf's Rain is an anime but it should count because it's incredible, haha. [Edit: Oh! And the Resident Evil and Underworld sagas.]

Favourite music: Symphonic metal is my favourite genre. Classical music, J-rock, or other rock music that has a point to it (can't stand "emo" bands). Within Temptation, Lisa Loeb, Flyleaf, Brandi Carlile, Malice Mizer, Chevelle, Muse, Sia, Blue October, Snow Patrol, Queen, Vanessa Carlton, Evanescence, Goo Goo Dolls, Korn, Savage Garden, Stella Soleil, Vanessa Mae, Velvet Eden, D'espairsRay, Kagerou, Plastic Tree, Rentrer en Soi, Minagawa Junko, Yoko Kanno, Bach, lots of others. I have music in like 20 different languages, whoa.

What would you like to send/receive?: Actually, I really like instant messaging programs, but I do understand that many people are too busy for that, and some times it's inconvenient because of time zones. So, e-mail is great, too. :D I make my own stationery and regularly write, but I probably won't be cool with "snail mail" until I really know you, sorry. =\

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who shares something to talk about. :D

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: No preference. It's fascinating to talk to people from other parts of the world because the cultures are so diverse, but just know that I only speak English. (I know a little French and a little Japanese but probably not enough to get by with, haha)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Nothing randomly vulgar or gross?

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Anything constructed from elegant stationery with old fashioned ribbons and wax seals... Yeah.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I think that about covers it!

Favourite music: A lot! Lykke Li, Placebo, The Kooks, Brand New, Amy Winehouse, The Noisettes, The National, No Doubt, Shakira (lol?), Miss Li, Sia

What would you like to send/receive?: Well, I'd kinda be great for email... Depending on where you are, I could mail physical letters or whatever else. :D But my parent's aren't comfortable with me sharing my actual address so meh.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: If it's email... anyone! So long as it's in English. I can speak a little Spanish but if I would be written to in it, it would have to be simply worded haha. If it's physical mail, I can only send to people in the US.
But I would stick with email!


What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Pshaw, anywhere.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Umm... illegal things?

Name: Cy (short for Cyrus)

Age: 22

Location: New Hampshire

How do you identify?: Mostly queer, a lot of gay, and somewhere around demisexual. Also, trans dude.

Interests/hobbies: World of Warcraft, webcomics, LiveJournal, writing, reading, playing time-wasting games... I bounce around a lot of different things.
» Fandoms: D.Gray-man, Kingdom Hearts, Tales of the Abyss, Gankutsuou, DOGs, Glee... I also like a bunch of other things, but don't really follow them.

Favourite books: Lynn Flewelling's books, LotR series, Good Omens, Terry Pratchett's Discworld books... And some other random stuff.

Favourite films: Films are kinda come-and-go for me. I like the shiny ones with explosions or cool worlds or both. Most recently I've seen and enjoyed Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon. The only one that's stayed a favorite is The Princess Bride. Unless Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog also counts.

Favourite music: Uhmm... -shuffles through library- Lady Gaga, the Glee soundtrack, And Then There Were None, 30 Seconds to Mars, access, Bump of Chicken, Angels and Airwaves, Bloc Party, Stabilo, David Bowie, The Hush Sound, Jack's Mannequin, Less Than Jake, The Matches, Mindless Self Indulgence, Placebo, Queen, Rammstein, Trans-Siberian Orchestra... I listen to a lot of different things.

What would you like to send/receive?: I'm not picky about what I get. As far as giving goes, I like to babble on about stuff. I can draw when the mood strikes, but I'm more of a "silly doodle" kind of person, not a "work of art" one. I have a tendency to give advice - I like to try and help people when I can. At this point, I would prefer email, because my physical address is going to change soon, but I'm definitely open to snail-mail once that's settled.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Doesn't matter, really. Just looking for other people to correspond with for fun.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: I don't care with email, but seeing as I'm a poor college kid, I'd really like to be able to send snail mail with just one stamp (unless you're willing to pay for postage, at which point, I'll gladly send to anywhere!)

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything sexual. My boyfriend might have to be angry about that... Packages are cool as long as I'm warned beforehand.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: My teaching certification, a shiny new home, and a puppy. And enough money to set me well-off for life. Uhm, idk xD;; I like letters!

Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm really just a dorky guy. I like talking and chatting with people. I can get a little weird and a little ranty (seriously, just look at my latest LJ entries - none of it's locked), but I really do love trying to help people out. If I can be the one guy you can unload on and get some understanding, that makes me happy.

Picture (optional): This one! And my boy. Also, my kitteh.

Name: Kailey (Kay)

Age: 17

Location: Colorado, US

How do you identify?: lesbian/female

Interests/hobbies: ...it's always tough to think of everything on the spot for this, but, a sampling of things: writing (my passion;; ), reading, photography (and, being a camwhore), baking pies, playing around with handwriting analysis/palmistry/personality tests, listening to people and helping them out, some manga, girly things like make-up/LUSH/clothes/etc, making music mixes, being amused by my ten cats, randomly reading wikipedia pages, stalking lj. i'm also a bit fond of snakes and ducks?

Favourite books: Enchantment by Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite books of all time -- i love his writing style and most of his other books, including the Ender's Game/Shadow series. um, other authors i like include F. Scott Fitzgerald, H.G. Wells, Tamora Pierce, Alice Hoffman... this gives a pretty good idea of the kind of books i like, though i'm always open to recs ♥ /reads a lot.

Favourite films: Hayao Miyazaki films, Miracle, R.E.N.T., Slumdog Millionaire, ...i'm not very good at remembering films i've enjoyed, but i tend to like indie & foreign films that leave an impression -- like Caramel or the Japanese film 46 Billion Years of Love (46億年の恋).

Favourite music: the best place to look is probably my last.fm. i like all different types of english music (cobra starship, tegan & sara, lykke li, shakira, metric, jason mraz, stars, dragonette, the beatles, marilyn manson, eminem, loreena mckennitt, placebo, etc), jrock (miyavi, alice nine, gazette, kirito, etc), kpop (epik high, big bang, dbsk, super junior, after school) and other genres like classical music, celtic music ...i'm open to just about everything and i love it when people share new music with me. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW MORE SPANISH BANDS;;

What would you like to send/receive?: i'd like to start with emails (PM me and i'll give you my email!), i'm more comfortable getting to know someone before i give out my address, but i'm a huge fan of handwritten letters. they're so personal and special and really give you a sense of who the person is. so eventually, handwritten notes/long letters and photographs/trinkets would be lovely o:

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: i'm fine with anyone! i can only speak english fluently and i would love to speak to people who know spanish - i'm not even at conversational level (i took spanish for about a year and a half; i can read it reasonably well but have trouble responding/building proper sentences :/) but i'd like to learn more/just really admire the language.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: any country is fine! i like learning about different cultures, so variety is nice o:

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") since i'm asking for emails to start with, nothing that i can think of!

What would be in your dream letter or package?: my dream package would be a stack of letters from different days of the week, along with little doodles or sticky notes, things that have meaning or make you smile, and little trinkets - like, the fortune from a fortune cookie or the leaf you found on the ground that caught your eye. I DON'T KNOW, I'M DORKY OKAY. 8|

Anything else you'd like to add?: i'm currently recovering from a serious chronic illness, so i'm not always sure how quickly i'll respond to emails, but i think that's part of the beauty of penpals - the letter stays and waits for you to answer it, unlike talking to someone in person or over instant messaging. and letters are personal in a different way o:

Name: I'd rather not divulge until you know me a bit.

Age: 15

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) Well, I'm female (despite my love of dressing up in suits), but I label myself as bisexual to anyone who asks, although I feel that one should see gender as fluid and love who you love. For this reason I support polyamory as well, although I don't practice it (maybe if the time comes.) I've known all this since I was 11, so I'm pretty certain of myself and open with it. Sexual openess can happen when your first understanding of sex comes from reading Middlesex (great book.)

Interests/hobbies: Puzzles (mysteries are great,) drawing, creative writing, I love music and singing, but I gave up doing it when I couldn't go on stage (I'm half blind, try covering one eye and looking through a toilet paper roll with the other and you've go me,) being an internet addict, languages: native English, Spanish and Japanese, although I'd like German, Russian and Cambodian, watching British Comedy, being a sci-fi nerd (Star Trek TOS and Doctor Who are my forte and reading I love Ray Bradbury and Phillip K Dick,) word/name etymology, I'm obsessed with Cambodia seeing as it is my home country, gay rights, greek myths, Stephen Fry and/or Hugh Laurie, learning new things, SCIENCE! MUAH! (I want to be a neurologist)

Favourite books: anything by Walter Moers, Stephen Fry, Daniel Pinkwater, Ray Bradbury, Phillip K Dick, Douglas Adams and PG Wodehouse to name a few authors. Jane Eyre, Cheaper By the Dozen, the Ghost Map, Middlesex, To Kill A Mockingbird, Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit, D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths, Flowers for Algernon are also top, although I own 600 + books (mine, not my parents, all collected by ME!) so it's hard to choose.

Favourite films: So many . . . I know everyone says so, but it's really true. Um, here are a couple from my hundred or so list: any Pixar, any Mel Brooks, any musicals, any Charlie Brown specials, Harold and Maude, Forrest Gump, To Kill A Mockingbird, Ghostbusters, The Untouchables, Trading Places, Shawshank Redemption, Arsenic and Old Lace, A Beautiful Mind, Shine, Best in Show, Spaceballs, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Babe, Betelgeuse, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Lord of the Rings

Favourite music: I listen to a lot of single songs by artists I don't know/follow that I find by way of YouTube's related videos column. However, I am quite fond of Queen, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Franz Ferdinand, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Fall Out Boy, Taylor Swift, the Four Seasons, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and showtunes. Yeah, musical diversity FTW.

What would you like to send/receive?: At the moment, anything you can fit in an email. If you want to contact, ask in comments and I'll PM you my email. I lose stamps too easily for my wallet to be comfortable with funding this endeavour.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone, but people who share the same interest, likes and views on sexuality would be perferable. I can only read English well, but bits in other langauges (with possible translations) would be great!

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Spam, in both definitions of the word.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A picture of yourself, and a lengthy letter, with perhaps a bit in another language and if you were REALLY NICE a book or DVD you'd reccomend.

Anything else you'd like to add?: Beards freak me out and I am extremely nerdy. One of my pet peeves involves people who can't bother to write real sentences. No chatspeak!

Picture (optional): I'll just describe myself.
A "so brown everyone thinks it's black" bob haircut
5"4'
Tan skin
Two coloured eyes blue and brown
Glasses
Shoe size: 6.5 on left and 7 on right
White teeth (baking soda is the secret,) straightened a couple years ago
107.5 lbs as of yesterday
Thin fingers with naturally pink fingernails (no polish although I do favour cream or red sometimes) all different lengths, because I can never take the time to sit down and clip them all evenly
Lots of different little scars from all the times I've tripped over stuff, scratched myself or had surgeries
Pierced ears, although I only wear jewlery for special occasions, as my ears never close
