Someone like you :)
This is me :)

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.

How do you identify?: Gay male
Interests/hobbies: I try to dabble in a bit of everything: web design, drawing, reading, writing, hiking, camping. In short I love to be expressive and go outdoors.
Favourite books: The DaVinci Code, Prey, Harry Potters. Generally I read fantasy and sci-fi, but I'm completely open to suggestions! I need and want to read more >_>
Favourite films: Requiem for a Dream, Moulin Rouge, Running with Scissors, Amélie, Hard Candy, I ♥ Huckabees, RENT, The Devil Wears Prada, Mean Girls, Me and You and Everyone We Know.
Favourite music: I have always been an avid pop fan, (and probably always will be), but I'm into pretty much anything besides rap or country. Lady GaGa (obsessed), Florence + The Machine, Acceptance, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Maria Mena, Panic! At The Disco, No Doubt, Alanis Morissette, Alphabeat, Charlotte Sometimes, Lily Allen, The Veronicas, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Paramore, The Postal Service, Imogen Heap, Kate Nash, P!nk. You can find me here on last.fm.
What would you like to send/receive?: E-mails would be great to start! Eventually I think letters and crafts/artworks/mix CDs would be fun, too :)
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Absolutely anyone!
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: Anywhere, but I can only speak English.
What would be in your dream letter or package?: A simple letter with silly doodles on the edges. I think a handwritten note from a friend is more meaningful and desirable than anything else. Of course I'm open to just about anything!
Anything else you'd like to add?: I'm a laid back, open minded person looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully making some friends in the LGBT (or not) world!

Comment or send me a message if you'd like to be pen pals! <3

What would be in your dream letter or package?: A hand-written letter, a drawing or painting etc, would make my day.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I apparently have Schizophrenic symptoms, but I'm too much of a wimp to see a doctor. Don't ask, its a long story. I'm also an opinionated sonofabitch and I rant daily, whether it be to the parasitic Incubus that lives in my brainpockets, the Plague Doctor or online, about nerd stuff to humanitarian stuff. Beware.
