wolfskins.livejournal.com

Name: Kate, and on the internet, Wolfskins

Age: 23

Location: Ontario, Canada

How do you identify?: Female. For sexuality, I'd currently just state "undetermined".

Favourite books: "Tapping the Dream Tree", "Waifs & Strays" by Charles de Lint. "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. "Shapes" by Steve Vance (this is TOTALLY a guilty pleasure book; it's not good, but it's fun horror/action pulp). I don't read as much as I used to, but I still love books; I have heaps of unread ones, and keep collecting more.

Favourite films: I like the occasional horror/thriller film (Ravenous, Dog Soldiers, Memento, Pontypool), but my real loves are documentaries (Grizzly Man, Sharkwater, A Small Act) and foreign films (Let the Right One In, The Tracker, Stalker, Aimee & Jaguar, Nowhere in Africa). I rarely bother seeing movies in theatres, because I'm not at all a fan of Hollywood/blockbuster stuff. Not film, but as far as TV shows go, I really dig The Good Wife right now.

Favourite music: Metal (Sonata Arctica, Kamelot, Tristania, Apocalyptica), celtic rock (Runrig, Solas), and other misc. stuff (Feist, Dido, Sarah McLachlan). I am also guilty of totally enjoying me some Lady Gaga, haha.

What would you like to send/receive?: Real, live snail-mail! I tend to periodically drop off the face of the internet, so the amount of time I'm around on MSN (and e-mail, to a lesser degree) is really inconsistent. I'm a huge fan of snail-mail though, and I've been known to send internet friends postcards, travel souveniers, packages (in addition to letters, of course!). Me, I'd love to recieve photos or stories of where people live, a sample of local art, anything like that. A care package would be just about make me the happiest girl ever.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'd love to send/receive mail from anyone who's living/lived abroad, or has done any volunteering abroad. I spent two months at the beginning of this year in rural Kenya, teaching at a school and spending time with kids in a children's home (orphanage). So I'd love to swap volunteer/travel stories with someone, you know? But I won't turn down any potential letter-swapping partners who don't fit that criteria (I might try to tell you about my students in Kenya, though)! Only thing: I'd really prefer to correspond with someone 18+.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere! Though, I only speak english. I wouldn't have a problem right now affording to send letters, small trinkets/souveniers, and/or an occasional larger package, so I guess I'm up for anything!

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: No porn, nothing overly offensive/distasteful (I'll let you use your own judgement).

Anything else you'd like to add?: I love online/long distance friendships, and I definitely believe that they can be meaningful and enduring. I originally met one of my current best friends over the internet; we met for the first time in person about a year ago, and we've gotten together several times since. I think that's pretty awesome!

dark-beloved.livejournal.com

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: 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.

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.

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

cykotyks.livejournal.com

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.

Current Mood: bouncy

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail would be amazingggg. ^_^

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: No real preference. I can only read/speak English though so that would be best if whoever I'm writing to/with speaks English, too, lol.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Any would be great. Snail mail rate isn't too bad anywhere you send it, so it wouldn't be that expensive or anything. :D Although if I'm sending packages then I would rather it be within the U.S. because... yeah, I'm a broke college student, hahaha.

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: (eg. "food/candy with nuts") Just nothing illegal, I guess, lol.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I really like reading long letters, and getting mix CD's with new artists that I've never heard before. :)

Anything else you'd like to add?: Mmm... don't think so! :D

ignatius-sparke.livejournal.com

Name: Beth (Hi!)

Age: 16

  Location: UK

Relationship status: Single Pringle.

How do you identify?: The so-called 'fairer' sex (although the biggest tomboy you've ever met, so maybe even genderqueer)/big fat GAYLORD - I've seen Meet The Fockers recently :P - so yep. Very very gay (I intensely dislike the word 'lesbian' for some reason).

  Interests/hobbies: LJ owns my life, as does my iPod; veggiemalarian (vegetarian for any non-goofballs out there); writer; photographer; guitarist; singer; non-stop talker; giggler (I laugh loudly and often); learning new languages; meeting new people *cough, hint hint, cough*; travelling; learing about new cultures (particularly Asian - Singapore, China, Japan, India, Vietnam... you get the idea); wannabe interpreter; World Cup enthusiast; Manchester City supporter; David Bowie maniac; Dave Days (I love his videos, he cracks me up); comic-reader (and occasionally drawer/writer); Freddie Mercury fangirl. I LOVE HIM.

  Favourite books: I read whatever I can get my hands on. I even read the dictionary when I was seven, for wont of something better to do. I like the His Dark Materials trilogy, the Artemis Fowl books, absolutely anything by Neil Gaiman (although his collaboration with Charles Vess - Stardust - and Neverwhere are particular favourites!), Chocolat, Five Quarters of the Orange and Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell's Edge Chronicles/Muddle Earth, Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, SPUD, the Georgia Nicolson series (Angus, Thongs & Full-Frontal Snogging, Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas etc.) by Louise Rennison, Ballet Shoes, Chinese Cinderella, Lirael, Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire, Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown... I could go on and on.

  Favourite films: Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd (I'm a total sucker for a good musical), Pirates of the Caribbean, Austin Powers, The Boat That Rocked, Lord of the Rings, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Breakfast On Pluto, Stardust, In Bruges, Love Actually (and a sucker for a good rom-com. Love Actually is my all-time favourite movie, I think)...   That's all I can think of for now.

Favourite music: Classic rock/rock'n'roll. The Beatles, The Kinks, AC/DC, GN'R, The Steve Miller Band, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Beatles, The Who, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Dire Straits, Queen (I'm obsessed with Queen.), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard (I used to get them and Led Zeppelin mixed up, IDK why.), Van Halen, Bob Dylan, Elvis... And then Bob Marley & The Wailers, Regina Spektor, Oasis, Razorlight, Mika, Snow Patrol, The Fray, Franz Ferdinand, Mika, Madness, The Darkness, Coldplay, Green Day when I'm in the mood, The Sex Pistols, Eurythmics, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, Blondie, The Killers, Emmy the Great, Laura Marling. And then soundtracks. Loooove soundtracks.

What would you like to send/receive?: Letters, online and/or snail-mail. It feels like forever since I wrote an actual hand-written letter properly that wasn't for an exam, though, so I'd love to write some of those. My handwriting, though, is very... archaic, really, so you might have trouble reading it. :/

Who would you like to receive letters from?: Anybody who can put up with me long enough! Anybody and everybody, pretty much!

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: ~~No Man Utd supporters~~ Just joking,

einsteinflygirl :P My parents aren't particularly generous with pocket money, it has to be said... But anyone, anywhere! As long as I can afford postage (and I don't mind saving up, but the letter'll be late if I do) I will write as often as I can!

Anything you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Apart from the obvious (I'm underage, so... No porn or anything sexual, please), food/candy with peanuts, dismembered hands and the like. Not that anyone here would send me a dismembered hand. Or I hope not. Those are my only requests! ^__^

What would be in your dream letter or package?: Music will always be a winner!; funny quotes; photographs of funny street names/signs/tree stump shapes etc.; jokes; newspaper clippings or articles; comics; drawings; writings in other langauges... You name it.

Anything else you want to add?: This could take a while. I have a tendency to drift off topic and just ramble about the most random things; I say everything that comes into my head; I love Monty Python; I will often spasmodically switch between English and whatever language takes my fancy; I'm very sarcastic sometimes (in Britain, sarcastic/deadpan humour is the best and never fails to amuse)... Um... Oh yeah, there's quite a lot of fanfic on my journal. Just a warning.
That and:

I love Batman. ^^

Picture: Sure thing!

(Curly-haired and mucking around with my camera)
(Wet-haired and smiling geekily)
(My favourite jumper and another dorky smile)
(Goofing about with my phone and being stupid in general)
Ooops, my face hasn't changed... but I've had about half a foot of hair chopped off since then :P It's up around my cheekbones now.
