Age: 20

Location: UK

How do you identify?: Genderqueer/queer/poly

Interests/hobbies: Zines, tattoos, languages, snow, crafting (although I used to have more motivation for it than I do now), writing letters, queer things, anarchist things. I'm learning German, and eager to write to someone who speaks German (although be warned, I'm a beginner!).

Favourite books: Hmmmmm...I really like Jeanette Winterson & Kurt Vonnegut. I read loads, but suddenly can't think of what I like.

Favourite films: I'm not really into films

Favourite music: Folk-punk! (Basically most things on Plan-It-X Records.) Red Hot Chili Peppers have a special place in my heart. I like interesting rock/punk, and also some pop-type stuff; Tegan & Sara, Rihanna, etc.

What would you like to send/receive?: Snail mail! Also emails. If we really get on, I'm up for sending nice swap things (mix CDs, zines, etc.).

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: As above, I'm learning German (I'm currently a beginner), so would really like to write to someone who speaks German. (Although I suspect my letters will be in German & English!) Other than that, someone who has similar interests?

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: Anything we haven't agreed on beforehand.

Hi,

My name is Rischa and I identify as an androgynous lesbian, and I am doing research with our community.

I am passionate about research because professionals use studies like this one to make decisions about our health care.

For this study, we are looking for women (trans-community included) 18 years of age or older, who self-identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, or questioning (LBQ). The purpose of this study is to learn about gender presentation and substance use in LBQ women.

Make sure your experiences are heard, be a part of LBQ research!

You can complete a brief, anonymous 25-minute survey by going to www.lbqresearch.wordpress.com.

This study had been approved by the St. John’s University IRB. Thank you for your time.

Make sure your experiences are heard, be a part of LBQ research! Thank you for getting involved, and be sure to tell your friends to participate as well.

I’m polyamorous and I like to discuss relationships, both in theory and practically.

Rabbit in Chinese astrology.

How do you identify?:
A gentleman. Androgyne, very much in to male aesthetics anyway. Born female but never really felt like one (on the other hand how should a female feel like, then? I don't know). Like to dress in old-fashioned men's clothing. I guess I'm something in between. I have reached the state of mind where I just feel like a unique entity without any labels whatsoever. Mostly drawn to men and manly/androgyne women, but I don't think genders matter that much - I love everyone beautiful and inspiring. I'm generally not very interested in sex.

Interests/hobbies:
Travelling, hiking, solitude, silence, steam engines, film cameras, classic cars, seaweed, mysticism, found objects, tea-drinking, random activism; Swimming in the lake, making firewood, learning new things, combing through fleamarkets and antique fairs; All sorts of things. I'm a bookbinder and an exceptionally lousy painter. I wish I had more energy to paint, I still have dozens of unfinished boards from 2007 or 2008. Sometimes I just can't get myself together. Drawing, painting, arts and crafts are all part of my everyday life. Things I really need to learn: Welding, woodworking, rare languages, how to use a chainsaw.

( more, more )

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

Anything else you'd like to add?: I have two LJs, one for my IRL friends and an asexuality-centric LJ for internet friends. Amoeboid_motion is my ace LJ, so feel free to check it out.

lucestrife.livejournal.com

Name: Luce

Age: 26

Location: Illinois

How do you identify?: Lesbian

Interests/hobbies: I take to a fiddle now and then but I'd hardly call it playing. I like hiking, kayaking, tabletop RPGs, some computer games, getting lost in the forest, studying language and assorted other things (helpful and less than-), working at the local library, feeding the neighborhood cats and tending to my tiny garden.

About me: I read to a fault, I'm one of those people who reads while they're walking or watching something or waiting in line. I love to read fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, anthropology, instruction manuals or whatever I find laying about. I think baking with the right person can be sexy and adventurous. I can be embarrassingly easy-going because I believe there is a subtle grace to the way that things unfold and I love to see where life takes me. This may all makes me sound very adventurous but in fact I'm pretty passive. I would prefer pomegranate tea and a good book near the window to the outside world any day.

Favorite books: This question is just too hard!

Favourite films: I really enjoy low-budget, corny movies - especially thrillers. I really like to watch documentaries, old noir and black and whites.

Favorite music: I'll listen to almost anything. I love global music. I'm not a big fan of rap or some country-western. Right now I'm really enjoying "gypsy punk", jazz fusion and old southern spirituals.

What would you like to send/receive?: I'm open to anything. I'd love to share seeds or recipes, puzzles, mix CDs, collages, sketches or knitting. I would really love to make friends with whom I could exchange stories in letter form.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: I'd love to hear from anyone who feels like writing.

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

Anything that you would particularly NOT like to receive?: I'm pretty open...I would prefer that the outside of the mailing be discreet, as I live in a conservative area and it's not entirely safe to share my identity here.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: I would love to have a regular pen pal with whom I could exchange riddles. I have a lot of spare time in which I create cryptograms. If this sounds way too geeky for you I completely understand.

Picture (optional): I'm not completely comfortable with sharing my identity here due to aforementioned conserve small town living.

Anything else you'd like to add?: I've been watching this community and I think the idea is wonderful. It would be nice to forge friendships with others nearby or far away. It's amazing to think that perhaps by sharing our lives with internet strangers we can all be a little less isolated.

Current Mood: complacent

tipensosempre.livejournal.com

Name: samantha/sam, also known as tall sam

Age: a little less than a month away from the wonderful twenty-two

Location: tennessee the beautiful

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) whatever fits me at that specific moment. though i tend to be feminine, and i tend to lean more towards the same sex side of orientation

Interests/hobbies: my job, which seems to take up the majority of my time, whether it be butterfly identification or programming with our speckled kingsnake; storytelling, especially stories of the native american variety; weaving, making jewelry, making beads; playing wildly interesting tunes on my keyboard at midnight as some sort of ridiculous ritual; collecting beads and buttons; wildflowers and all their many uses; mildly inappropriate and always confusing analogies; renewable energy; cooking, especially vegan and vegetarian foods; expeditions to used book stores and goodwills; culture studies. in essence, i'm a down home southern girl who never wants to admit she's from the south, who loves biodiversity, good literature, and a good trail run/canoe session/bike ride/hike to clear the mind. i hate boxes and refuse to be any part of them; everything i see is colored, and nothing is black or white.

Favourite books: dry, running with scissors, and possible side effects by augusten burroughs; the norby series by isaac asimov; the martian chronicles by ray bradbury; salmon of doubt and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by douglas adams; breakfast of champions, cat's cradle, and slaughter-house five by kurt vonnegut; the book of laughter and forgetting by milan kundera; life of pi by yann martel... so much more. neil gaiman, virginia woolf, frances burney, mark twain, thomas hardy, herman hesse... literature is the way to my heart.

Favourite films: shortbus, four-eyed monsters, high art, the shining, pulp fiction, death proof, hocus pocus, charlie brown movies, young frankenstein, snatch, transamerica, saving face

Favourite music: last.fm. sarah jaffe, yeasayer, freelance whales, the be good tanyas, wavves, crystal castles, animal collective, patti smith, the gits, bob dylan, the dodos, tegan & sara, why?, cloud cult, bassnectar, miles davis, bessie smith, ella fitzgerald, debussy, vince guaraldi (i've an unhealthy obsession with charlie brown/charles m. schulz.)

What would you like to send/receive?: anything, everything.

Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: i've met my complement (

novelromantic), what about my polar opposite? anyone, really.

What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to?: does not matter one bit.

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

What would be in your dream letter or package?: brains from abby normal. imprints of old graves.

Anything else you'd like to add?: i'd prefer e-mail at first, but i love the art of handwritten letters.

deerbehindglass.livejournal.com

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 books: My first and most important label, before human, is bookworm. Some important authors to me are Alice Hoffman, Francesca Lia Block, June Jordan, Charles Bukowski, Daphne Gottlieb, and Edward Albee. There are always more.

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!
