About Me: Well I would describe my personality to be very well rounded. By that I mean that I like to plan out trips or activities with friends yet I am always game to spontaneous adventures. I can be loud and crazy yet serious and attentive I suppose it all depends on the the situation and the environment. I LOVE reading, mainly fiction, and I'm always up for talking about a good book or swapping recommendations. I like watching movies especially at home where I can do it with a glass of wine and loads of junk food. other likes include: writing, animals, cooking, walking, dancing, crafts, scrapbooking, drawing(though I am horrible at it) and watering my plants (my apartment doesn't allow pets so my plants are my babies and yes they have names). Besides that, I would like a pen pal because the idea excites me.  I think it would be fun getting to know people you may otherwise never encounter and I love getting to know different types of people. 

Music: I love music and I like a variety, though I mainly listen to new age, alternative, and pop. Oh I know lets play a game! I figure my ITunes is the best judge of my music taste so...the first six songs on Itunes shuffle are: "Pretty piece of flesh" by one inch punch, "My only One" by Plain white T's, "Lucky" by Radiohead, "Aunque me duela el Alma" by Joan Sebastian, "I'm still here" by John Rzeznik(Treasue Planet soundtrack) and "you talk way to much" by the strokes.

Movies/TV: I love Disney movies especially "Beauty and the Beast" and "Mulan", Star Treck(09), Avatar, Mulan Rouge, and Anastasia to name a few. I Heart Glee, the big bang theory, House, Heroes, ugly Betty and Law and Order(when its on).  Old shows: Arrested development, Veronica Mars, Sailormoon, Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, FMA.

Books: Favorites are East of Eden, Jane Eyre, The catcher and the Rye, The Alchemist, Crime and Punishment, The Metamorphosis, The picture of Dorian Gray. I also enjoyed the mortal instruments series and  Harry Potter

About Me:
I never know where to start with any 'About Me' sections I have to fill in, but i will certainly give it a go. Im quite a bubbley positive person to be around i guess. Generally i like to put a good spin on most things. Im extremely organised which never used to be the case. Im also very house proud. I put alot of work and time into making a nice home for me and my other half. I will without a doubt probably talk about things me and my other half do as i spend MOST of my free time with him. Im quite outspoken when it comes to my opinions on things. I LOVE discussing topics with people i meet and hearing peoples different opinions on topics that arise. Im a real kid at heart and get excited and jump around at the sight of haribo or anything like that. Speaking of sweets, in the past 6 months i have managed to shift 3 and a half stone in weight (49lbs) by joining WeightWatchers. Im pretty much devoted to being healthy and looking after my body now interms of what i eat. I used to have a VERY unhealthy lifestyle and was a bit of a party animal. This past year i really feel like i've come into my own and settled down. I feel alot more grounded now and alot happier with my OWN company instead of constantly needing to surround myself with friends and other people. Im not that close to my family and no matter how hard i try i'll always feel out shined by my sister despite my efforts to impress my parents all the time. I love nights in with a cuppa and a good film. Im a smoker which im hoping to get rid of next year as my resolution. Im rather passionate about my job as well and always looking to further myself in and out of work =) Its addictive!


Music: Im a BIG music fan but i have the strangest taste in music. I love a spectrum of artist and bands ranging from Girls Aloud, Staind, Linkin Park, Christina Aguilera, Kesha, UK Garage, Electro, Dirty House, Ne-yo, Imogen Heap <3 <3 <3, Vengaboys!!!, Rihanna, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Pink.

Movies: Again i love a huge range of films. Bruce Almighty, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Twilight Saga, Bridget Jones' Diary, Day after Tomorrow, 2012, Taken etc. I do love all sorts. Im very open minded when it comes to films, if im recommended one i'll watch it and chances are i'll love it =D

Books: I would LOVE to read more than i do. But i dont really know any authors properly to say i have any favourites. I tend to read a couple of books on holiday and thats it. I like girly books to be honest. Im always up for a good 1st person diary sort of book. I loved the Bridget Jones' diary books they were brilliant. That kind of thing. I vow to one day beable to answer this with alot more knowledge on books. Theres nothing better than getting lost in a good book!

Hobbies & Interests : This is another question i dread! In terms of my hobbies and interests i guess weightwatchers is one of them, i LOVE cooking and learning new recipies. I have two kittens Ollie and Daisy who are bother and sister. My boyfriend Matt bought me them for my 20th birthday. Ever since i've completly fallen inlove with. Im a bit of a clean freak and organising freak too. I like going to the gym and have a good work out then a swim. Love shopping and finding some good bargains on Ebay as well. Oh and Facebook. Definatly hooked on facebook!

TV - Harry Hills TV Burps, QI, Mock the Week, Have i got news for you, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, ashamed to say it but 'The Hills' :-\, Friends, Will and Grace, Heroes. =D

About Me: I have never had a pen pal before. It is something that always interested me, but for various reasons, never got into so forgive me if I go about this all wrong. I am fond of animals, especially my cats, volunteering, chocolate, writing, practicing my German, and roschti. I am also engaged, and going to school for nursing-though my real love is archeology. I am an incredible bookworm when not in school; however, during school I tend not to read anything fiction because I get absorbed pretty easily. So instead I watch movies and some television shows on DVD and play video games, haha.

Music: This is a pretty eclectic list for me, but includes Imogen Heap, David Bowie, Brand New, Neutral Milk Hotel, Yes, Third Eye Blind, Her Space Holiday, Gregorian Chants, Hello Saferide, Billy Idol, The New Pornographers, Wurzel 5 (lol), King Crimson, Bright Eyes and etc.

Movies/TV: The Hobbit, Children of Men, Oceans Eleven, The Fifth Element, Chasing Amy, Mulan, Stardust, The Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Star Wars (IV,V,VI), Iron Man, Avatar, Almost Famous. I enjoy Big Bang Theory,  InuYasha, Chuck, Supernatural and some others.

Books: Jane Eyre, Sherlock Holmes, The Giver, The Man Who Was Thursday, The Historian, Conan the Barbarian, The Zombie Survival Guide, Memoirs of a Geisha, Heidi, The Silver Chalice...

Pen pal Info: I would like a penpal 19+ of either gender.I prefer letter writing and snail mail and the length of the letter makes no difference to me. I imagine that I would respond fairly quickly, within a week or two. In the icon, I am the one on the right, looking like an idiot.

I used to have a penpal that I was really close to, but since we've both started uni we've lost touch and I've lost her address.

I will literally listen to anything. From Beethoven to Jonas Brothers to Timbaland to The Descendants. I'm a big CD collector, and dont tend to download often unless its legal or for one track thats hard to get hold of. Top 5 bands?

I am a huge movie nerd. Im useless at picking favourites.

Hey there, penpal community! I'm Daniel of Salt Lake City, UT. (Yes, the gathering grounds for mormons though I'm not personally LDS) I'm a music loving, fun time having, constantly laughing at the top of my lungs 'till it hurts intellectual conversationalist. I've a few piercings but we can go into details about them if you shoot me an e mail (and you know you wanna!) I won't spend too much of your time by ranting about myself because I think you'd have a better time learning about me just by actually pen paling so I'll give you the basics and you can decide if you'd like to write me to learn more.

I'm into volunteering and giving back to others less fortunate, I enjoy concerts and summer nights. I can make you laugh, I can force you to think twice. I'm interested in animals, vegetarianism, foreign cultures, ink and body mods, tea, coffee and passion! I'm an artist in every aspect of the word, I can promise there has never been anyone to see this wonderful world just the way I do and I take it upon myself to interpret that into photography and writing. Currently, I'm learning american sign language and pickup up a bit of italian on the way. also, I'm opening an apparel business with one of my old friends.
I've only two awesome pen pals and could use more, regardless of race, sex or anything of the sort. I only request that the sender is 18+. I usually reply within two days of the msg finding its way into my sad and empty inbox :[

If we have good conversation, I'd like to progress into snail mail but if there is nothing that we have to express to each other, we'll only stay e mail pals. So thats it, thanks for reading into the basics.

Comment this entry with your e mail if you'd like me to initiate the conversation or send me your e mail via personal msg if you don't wanna post it up here publicly or I can send you my own e mail! thanks. :D

Nickname: -
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio

Orientation: Straight
Religion: Technically Jewish. Although I haven't been to services since I moved in Cincy in 2008. And I eat shrimp.
Relationship: Dating a med student. (If you've ever done it then you know...it needs specific titles)


About Me:
I hate "about me"s. Uhm....like a lot. So for that reason it'll be brief.
You can always ask me any specifics if you want.

I'm a grad student getting my Masters in Communication (Media Studies) at Univ of Cinci
My masters thesis is on Monty Python's Flying Circus....and it owns my life. Mostly.
Hate writing in complete sentences - a direct result of too much education. Even when I do pick complete sentences, they're not long. Quite short, actually.
I love dogs. Not cats. I'm afraid of cats...well, not afraid. Merely against. Because they refuse to cuddle.

Twitter.


Music: Lots of random stuff. I listen to Top 40 in the car because I call it driving music. But for all moments when I'm not operating a 1997 Honda Civic I love:
The Beatles, Queen, The Who, Evan and Jaron, Thenewno2, Boys Like Girls, We the Kings, Barenaked Ladies, Maroon 5
(and probably a bunch that I'm forgetting - but you get the gist)


Movies: Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Clue, A League of their Own, The Princess Bride, Sherlock Holmes (best movie of 2009!!!!!), It's Complicated, Forrest Gump, Little Giants, Remember the Titans, Leatherheads, Burn After Reading, Ocean's 11 (Clooney one), A Hard Day's Night, Death to Smoochy, The Informant


Books: I love reading....unfortunately, I can't remember the last non-graduate school book I read. I've read the Gossip Girl and Private series. And Michael Palin's Python Diaries...I think that's the last book I read for fun this past summer. I still quote bits. Like stuff about donkeys....and bathing trunks.


Loves: Dogs, my iPod, Monty Python, Starbucks, Sketchers, English accents (just ask about my History teacher this past quarter), Tictacs (comma orange), Sushi, Southern accents.


Unloves: Dr. Pepper, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus.

TV: Flying Circus, Friends, 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother (although after season 2 it got kinda stink), The Big Bang Theory, The Office (UK only), Coupling, CSI: NY, Harper's Island, Desperate Housewives, M*A*S*H, Psych, The Colbert Report,

Yummy People: Dhani Harrison (he looks like his father...and I love him), George Clooney, Matt Damon, Christopher Gorham, Eddie Cahill, CJ Thomason, James Roday, James Denton, Robert Downey Jr. And I've got a girl-crush on Eva Longoria Parker.


Pen pal Info:


How many penpals do you have? 1
How many penpals do you want? up to maybe 5 or 6. Or 7. It really depends.
E-Mail or Snail Mail? snail mail. thanks to my thesis, I've learned to resent my email.
How long are your letters? As long as you want em!
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? Shooting for a week? Mail boxes keep disappearing.
Handwritten or typed? I write by hand...but I'm not gonna force you to.
Gender Preference? Either
Age Preference? It's up to you. I'm 23 so obviously 15 year olds aren't the best fit. But I have friends as young as 18 and 19 all the way to 30. Much beyond that I only worry we won't have much in common. And yet...John Cleese is 70 and I love him so....as you can see...I'm not putting restrictions on this.
Where in the World? Anywhere! It'd be great if at least a couple were outside the States, but I won't turn anyone down based on location. Trust me...I grew up in the Northeast and I don't fault anyone for living somewhere that's not particularly exciting.
What are you looking for in a penpal? They have to have a sense of humor. I can get bored if things all a little to humdrum. And I like laughing....even at stupid random bits. As long as a person is comfortable being themselves, then it's cool ♥

About Me:
I read, I write, I play, and I count days. I'm a good mix of everything that shouldn't be tangled together. I love the smell of old books, coffee, the outdoors, and my grandpa's garage. I listen to music constantly. I try to take chances even if it gets me into trouble sometimes. I live for fun and friendship. I'm a dedicated analyst. I believe promises are sacred and take pinky-swears very seriously. My favorite words are adore and whore. I'm currently a junior working towards a pre-law psych degree... even though I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with it (which goes to show I can to be a very indecisive person). Going on adventures and exploring are two of my favorite things in the world. Sometimes I just sit and watch the world around me... I'm almost 100% certain that eyes have their own language and I always try to listen.
"One thing I can tell you is you've got to be free"


Music: Ah, my drug and my therapy! I believe a song can bring you back to a certain place or moment in time. It never fails.
Muse, Elliott Smith, Eisley, Tilly and the Wall, The Beach Boys (I'm a cali girl, tis true), Travis, Stevie Wonder, Dusty Springfield, Radiohead, Maria Mena, Belle and Sebastian, Goo Goo Dolls, Patty Griffin... you name it, I'll probably want to listen.


Movies: Disney movies (pretty much all...), Zoolander, Love Actually, Pan's Labyrinth, Howl's Moving Castle (along with any Miyazaki films!), What's Eating Gilbert Grape, A Goofy Movie, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood (any version), Little Miss Sunshine, My Best Friends Wedding, Silence of the Lambs, Hard Candy, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Once, Talladega Nights, Edward Scissorhands, Roman Holiday, I am Sam, Moulin Rouge, The Never-ending story, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.


Books: Reading is love! Anything Victor Hugo, David Sedaris, Sarah Dessen, Jane Austen, Stephen King, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I Capture the Castle, A Great and Terrible Beauty, Harry Potter(s), Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Memoirs of a Geisha, Lolita, Rebecca, Howl's Moving Castle, My Sister's Keeper, Angels and Demons, and the Bible.


Hobbies: I love writing. It’s my favorite. I miss it incredibly –I don’t do it nearly as often as I did in high school. The only thing more personal than my music is my writing. I sing a lot, much more than is ever necessary. It's my other favorite type of self expression. Reading, dancing, sports (tennis, basketball, baseball, golf etc), video games, hanging with friends, babysitting, facebook/livejournal/youtube, laughing, helping, being.


Interests: See all above.

Loves: Family, friends, God, Life, and being not what you expect.

Okay I am trying this again!

Name: Alice
Nickname: Umm. A few.
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Location: UK
Occupation: Designer and illustrator.
Orientation: Queer
Relationship: Single

About Me: I am English, 22, an artist and designer working for local arts organisations and a gallery. I am working on my own art in my spare time including a zine comic and just starting a new mail art project (hundredpostcards.co.uk). I guess my politics would fall into the liberal end of the spectrum, I'm vegetarian, volunteer at Oxfam and am a proud member of Amnesty International. I am interested in feminism, queer issues, sexuality. Oh and I am queer myself (and femme, if it matters), so you need to be okay with that.

Music: Mostly indie-pop, folky, shoegaze or classic soul/rock'n'roll stuff, but you can see for yourself here: http://www.last.fm/user/alicaurusrex

Movies: I have a sordid dirty secret in the form of my collection of crappy rom-coms and kids animations I'm afraid, but really they are what I watch over the top of my laptop when I'm doing work, and I do have a love for actually sitting and paying attention to GOOD cinema too. My favourite movie of all time is Ghost World, I've seen it about 37 times. Other favourites: a lot of Pedro Almaldovar films, a lot of Lukas Moodysson films, Amelie, The Dreamers, Caramel, Some Like It Hot, The Edukators, Heathers, Annie Hall...

Books: George Orwell, Charles Bukowski, Jeanette Winterson, Chuck Paluhniuk, Poppy Z Brite, Kurt Vonnegut, Cormac McCarthy, Iris Murdoch... so mostly I love writers who create books that are really dark and bleak, preferably featuring sexual undertones, alcohol abuse and/or the general grimy underbelly of society. I also love comics and zines, favourites being: Jeffrey Brown, Arial Schrag, Love And Rockets, Dan Clowes, Chris Ware, Truckface, Doris, Invincible Summer, a ton of others.

Hobbies & Interests: I love snail-mail, collecting zines, reading a lot of books, watching a lot of films, spending way too long planning and making mix-cds, DJing badly (although admittedly my decks rarely leave my bedroom), drinking a lot of tea, fantasizing about having my own radio show. I dislike 99% of clubs, bars or parties - I'd much prefer a quiet night in (maybe writing letters?) and am a bit grannyish when it comes to nights out. I do enjoy socialising but preferably by daylight!

TV: Right now, Mad Men all the way. I want to look like Joan. I don't watch a lot of TV, but get addicted to DVD boxsets, especially Sopranos, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, Desperate Housewives, Twin Peaks, Jam & Jerusalem, Kath & Kim (the original Australian version only though!). Although I do have a secret love for Eastenders, but shhhh! Don't tell anyone!

How many penpals do you have?: None right now - boo!
How many penpals do you want?: 1 or 2 really good ones please!!
E-Mail or Snail Mail?: Snail mail
Gender Preference?: Either, although I am particularly interested in talking with other people interested in gender and sexuality.
Where in the World?: Anywhere
What are you looking for in a penpal?: I'm not sure. I guess... somebody to swap mix-CDs with, recommend or swap books, to discuss life, politics, sexuality, travel, music, art, the meaning of life. You know, the usual.

Message me here first please.

About me: I'm a Political Science student aspiring to be a lawyer. I read a lot, and write sometimes, and one day I hope to have a book published. My moods and tastes vary--a lot. I play volleyball and badminton. I go swimming whenever I can. I love to take pictures, although I'm not very good at it. xD I love to sing and dance. I'd like to learn how to play the piano. I love sci-fi and fantasy, romance, and horror. I have a really twisted and perverted sense of humor.

I enjoy generally childish things like playing on the swings, blowing bubbles, and watching cartoons. I'm kinda short-tempered, so...yeah. xP

Name: Casey
Nickname: Saltychickencrispy
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Location: In your head. I'm the voice that tells you to randomly dance in large crowds of people while screaming "rollback!"

About Me:
I love to dance, scream "rollback", sing, and draw. I ALWAYS have to hear music in order to do any of those things.
I don't live the average teenage life. At first glance everything seems perfectly normal, but I'm trying to do something that none of my peers would dream of doing in a million years. For the most part, I'm accepted pretty well. Still, I know some of them hate me, some are afraid of me, and some of them are still in shock at how I've changed. It's not every day that they meet someone who gets saved and practices ministry at the age of 14.
