People I love & Adore

20 March 2010 @ 11:15 am

am the queen of nostalgia & hyperventilating
missing some moments too much, looking at the west too much
a bit sad and ironic, and lost
right now what i need most is to run away and be free, and travel everywhere to find my place
i would love to meet people who could travel the world with me
i want to be a writer too but need to figure out how
i think my soul belongs many many years back

my life is eighteen years long but I feel like last some years were a joke
and i think that having penpals is magical
i am looking for letter-writing people and occasional aim nights too

Penpals (woah we're halfway there!!)

Hey, I posted a while back but I’m reposting since I feel like a lot has changed since then.

Name: Alice

Age: 18
Gender: girl-pants
Location: Middle of nowhere, England
Languages: English, very bad Spanish and French
Religious views: I consider myself to be a Spiritual person but for me it’s a pretty private thing and not necessarily something I’d talk about much.
Orientation: If you think it matters I don’t think we should penpal, if you’re curious then I like men and women but if it’s something you base your decision on whether you want me as your penpal or not on then please, don’t let the metaphorical door hit you on the ass on your way out.

About me: I think I’m a friendly, laidback kinda gal who’s easy to get along with and very loyal to my friends, I’m also really proud to be a principled person who sticks to their convictions and tries to make good difference in life. I love my college (last 2 years of high school in ameri-lang I think?) lessons, Politics and English lit and lang, and I’ve just started working as a barmaid which has been fun so far. I went through some really bad times with depression a few years ago and I’ve come out of it a stronger person, I do what makes me happy and what I think is right and I try to make the most of the cards life deals me.

Likes

TV Shows: I watch for too much TV! I’m a complete Supernatural geek, it’s been my favourite TV show for years now, Merlin, Doctor Who, HIMYM, Chuck, Psych, Bones, Criminal Minds, Stargate Atlantis, BtVS, Dollhouse, Firefly, Scrubs, Friends, Monty Python, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Queer as Folk, The Peep Show, Blackadder, Glee, Gavin and Stacy and The Mighty Boosh.

Films: I haven’t really watched anything in ages, I need to go out and buy some more dvds at some point soon! My all time favourite films are Mulan, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Monsters Inc (yes I am a cartoon junkie :D). I also like Amelie, musicals, horror films and good comedies, particularly anything with James Cordon or Simon Pegg in them.

Music and Books: Same goes for both really; I like all sorts of things for loads of genres and I’m constantly reading or listening to something so I’d find it impossible to list all of my favourite songs or books but at the moment I’m re-reading Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, which is my favourite book ever I read it again and again and still laugh every time and I’m listening to Bon Jovi who are also a band I really like.

Other: Tea, good friends, laughing, smiling, rubber duckies, yoga, coffee, being able to be myself, travelling, ice hockey (the only sport I like), sunny days, Chinese food, spending time with my sister, antique furniture, old postcards, raspberries, big cities, surprises (the nice kind not the people dying kind!), seeing people do good things.

How many pen pals do you have? 0
How many do you want? 2 or 3 since I’m already quite busy and I want to keep up with replies.
Email or snail mail? Either is fine.
How long are your letters? Some are longer than others and some shorter though I think they’re normally around a page typed.
Do you write by hand or type? I’m happy to write or type, though if you want me to write I should warn you I have really bad hand writing most of the time.

Male or female? Don’t mind.
Age: 16-24ish, if you feel we’d get along regardless of your age though I don’t think it matters.
Where would you like them to be from? For writing England or Europe would be best though I don’t mind writing and emailing or just emailing outside of there.

What are you looking for in a pen pal? I'm not interested in being friends with someone who judges people based on the color of their skin, the sex they're attracted to, the money in their bank account or anything else so superficial. If that's you, you know who you are and you're not my friend. Apart from that I want someone who I can be really good friends with, be honest and open up to and who would hopefuly do the same to me.

( And just for the lols, blonde me. )

Current Location: in a teacup, england

Current Mood: sleepy

sleepy

Current Music: Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer

[insert attention-grabbing title here]

Name: Katy
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Location: Kalamazoo, United States
Languages: English
Religious views: Unitarian Universalist (of the atheist variety)

About me: I am peculiar, friendly and chatterboxish. Sometimes shy, usually inconsistent, and always with my head in the clouds. I'm open-minded yet stubborn. I'm both a know-it-all and a space cadet. And yes, I can be pretty lazy.

I love fiction and history, having a good laugh, and going to museums. I spend my free time reading, writing, and occasionally baking. I like learning new things--languages, cultures, and mythology fascinate me. I dislike ignorance, loud noises, and filling out these "about me" sections.

Favorite...
...TV shows: Psych, Supernatural, Bones, Merlin, Leverage, White Collar
...music: my playlist is 30% classic rock, 45% pop/rock, 20% alternative and 5% showtunes.
...movies: I like comedy-adventures, things like Indiana Jones and The Princess Bride
...books: I'm not even going to get started on that. Just know that I'm a big reader ~~and Harry Potter geek~~.

How many pen pals do you have? One
How many do you want? No more than three for now. Don't want too many to keep up with.
Email or snail mail? I'd prefer snail mail.
How long are your letters? However long they need to be to say what I have to say.
Do you write by hand or type? I like to write by hand. Though I tend to type my emails, I'm old-fashioned like that.
Male or female? Either
Age: 17 - early 20s (though I'm flexible)
Where would you like them to be from? I'd prefer the U.S., just so postage is easier, but it's not a necessity
What are you looking for in a pen pal? A friend. Someone who's outside my little world. Someone I can share stories with--I like telling stories about myself and I'd like hearing them from others. Someone who's honest and funny. And of course, someone who will write back and not just let it fall away after the first few letters.

(no subject)

Hey, I was just curious. Would anyone be interested in starting a community with me? The idea just popped into my head not long ago.

You know those "Dear Abby" advise columns? I was thinking about putting a tiny twist on that, getting people to write to us- or other people who would like to help them- about issues in their lives, or jsut little things they want or need advice on.

Now, I can't run this community on my own, I want to know if anyone else is interested. E-mail me at kcord55@gmail.com

If this is not allowed, please feel free to delete!! Sorry!!!

Pen pal info:
How many pen pals do you have? none
How many do you want? A few at least
Do you want email pen pals? I don’t check my email very often, so I would feel bad if one day I open my email and find a letter received a month ago. So if you’re willing to wait a month or longer for a response OK.
Do you want snail mail pen pals? Yes. My handwriting is super small so you better have a microscope (kidding, but seriously it is kind of small).
How long are your letters? Depends on my mood, beside, I have never had a penpal so I don't know how long can they be
How long does it take you to reply to your letters? As soon as I finish reading the letter, unless I have to do school work or be at a recital or practice.
Would you like your pen pal to be male or female? Whichever is fine with me
What age would you like them to be? doesn't matter
What are you looking for in a pen pal? Someone that wants to talk about anything and everything, and doesn’t mind talking to a girl who’s crazy and sometimes very random. I would like a friendship with someone not from Puerto Rico.

talk talk talk

Name: Melissa 
Age: 26 
Birthday: November 6, 1983 
Gender: Female 
Location: North Carolina, US...for the moment 
Occupation: Staying occupied. ;P

Dream Job: Being a wife & mother. 
Sexuality: Straight 
Relationship Status: Single  
Religious Views: Christian...I like both Brian McLaren and John Piper, so shoot me.

Email: suikazura83@gmail.com

About Me:

My life has been quite out of the ordinary, but that can be left to letters, huh?

I love to try new things and tend to be 'all over the place'. I love music, asian doramas, a few video games, but I'm not an otaku or a fangirl. It's okay if you are, but just don't expect me to squee. :D I love to read, but I'm woefully ignorant of modern fiction; I'm trying to get updated (reading Kite Runner currently).

God and Jesus are the center of my life, so it's natural that will come up in my letters. I don't really care about trying to convert people, but if serious talk of God and the Bible bothers you, maybe I'm not for you. I don't mind discussing with people of opposing views, you are certainly welcome to believe otherwise.

Most of my old penpals have drifted away or have married & now have their attention mostly consumed by family. I'm the only one left from my old group that isn't married, so it's rather strange.

Interests:

making jewelry, poetry, cooking, Christianity, history, cultures, older American music (pre-2000), European & Asian music, cats, rilakuma bear, Tim Burton movies, Lolita (I just watch blogs though...not a wearer of it! Love that mori-girl style though.), STAR TREK (everything but that horrible new movie), Star Wars, white chocolate, floral photography, personality typing (can't seem to type myself though XD), and so on...

Pen pal Info:
How many penpals do you have? One currently...most of my old ones have transferred to the internet/facebook/etc.
How many penpals do you want? Several.
Do you want email pals? Yes.
Do you want snail mail pals? Yes.
How long are your letters? Anywhere from 1 page (talking just 'news') to 12 pages (actually discussing things).
Do you handwrite or type? Handwrite.
Reply time? Usually a week or so.
Where in the world? Anywhere. I love learning about other people.

I would love snail mail and email, packages, postcards, etc. I use LJ primarily for communities, so no adds here. Chat is okay. I do not like FB (friendship books)...whatever those things were that people would pass around; I never could understand them...

Please, only people who are interested in forming a friendship, not just adding another penpal to their list. ^_^

YOU, YES YOU!

Name: Rei-En
Age: I am 16 going on to 17 (Sing-a-long anyone?)
Birthday: 30 July 1993 (like Neville Longbottom!)
Gender: Female
Location: Singapore, Little Red Dot
Occupation: Student

Dream Job: Voice-Actor, Author (heehee)
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: Single
Religious Views: Ah? I don’t have a religion, but I’m into the idea of achieving Nirvana through your own good deeds. ^-^

About Me
Eeee, I hate writing these sort of ABOUT ME things because I can never seem to really be like, THIS IS ME! I’m not making sense now am I?

Not to sound apathetic and dead but I haven’t been interested in things lately. I mean, I have, but not as interested as I was before. Maybe it’s the whole Growing Older Thing, NEW STAGE IN LIFE! I enjoy doing them, I really do, but not that much anymore. Nevertheless!

Interests: Role-Playing, Writing, Doodling, Art. Looking at pretty pictures and stalking cosplayers on DA. (I would say I LOVE TO COSPLAY! But I haven’t cosplayed before, July’s going to be my first time. ^-^) Reading, Jumping Around. Being HAPPY. Taekwondo (though I’ve stopped, I WILL CONTINUE!). Draaaaaaaama! (heehee, though I’m terrified of performing but it isn’t stage fright O.O).

As you can see, I’m a bit of all over the place and I abuse CAPITAL LETTERS and emoticons :DDD. I ramble in real life and online, because I absolutely refuse to use the backspace key most of the time, unless I really have to.

Geeeeekygeekdom!: COMIC BOOKS! :D I love Young Avengers (Billy/Teddy ftw) and Nextwave, and Booster Gold/Blue Beetle and the latest Blue Beetle and manymany more but I haven’t got the time to stalk comic books lately. ): I’m a bit of an ANIME/MANGA FREAK right now, but not that much, Katekyo Hitman Reborn (though it’s going downhill D:, 8059!), and Ouran Highschool Host Club (but I just started but it is addictiveeeee), DIGIMON! (YES, I LOVE YOU). and deathnote and liargame, heehee, but they’re not as loved. And I’m also a huge POWER RANGERS spazz. And Harry Potter, heehee. OMG, AND DR HORRIBLE, YES DR HORRIBLE.

Oh, and I’m a bit of a Disney freak too. And when I mean Disney, I mean, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL/WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE/etc type of Disney freak. Though Miley Cyrus scares me. She sounds like a chipmunk. *gets shot*

I think I should stop spazzing out now!

Pen pal Info:
How many penpals do you have? A few, but they all seemed to have disappeared! >.<
How many penpals do you want? A few! :D
Do you want email pals? YES PLEASE.
Do you want snail mail pals? YES YES YES. :D
How long are your letters? It depends, usually around two pages.
Do you handwrite or type? Wriiiiiiiiite.
Reply time? Probably around a week, school’s crazy right now! >.<

Where in the world? Anywhere, I love learning more about other people’s lives. ^-^

:D

Howdy doody!

Name: Margie
Age: 17
Birthday: September 21
Gender: Female
Location: Lufkin, Texas, USA
Occupation: High student!
Sexuality: Grey area? I haven’t any freakin clue…
Relationship Status: Single
Language: English
Religious Views: It’s whatever yo

Pen pal Info:
How many penpals do you have? one
How many penpals do you want? A lot, it keeps me busy!
Do you want email pals? Yeah that can work I'd prefer snail mail.
Do you want snail mail pals? YES!
How long are your letters? Depends really, it could be short or it could be freakishly long.
Do you handwrite or type? Depends on how much time I have.
Reply time? 1-2 weeks at the latest, though I should find time between school and stuff.
Would you like your penpal to be male or female? Either, preferably female though.
Where would you like them to be from? Well…I already have one in Australia, and staying inside the US would be really better for me, it‘s a heck of a lot cheaper hehehe.
Age preference? Hmm…not really.
What are you looking for in a penpal? I’m not sure really. I just would like someone that is close in interest with me. Or is willing to be open to some new interests.

About Me: I’m not the most conventional of people, but that doesn’t mean I adore going off the beaten path. I like structure and I like routine for the most part. Now that also doesn’t mean that I’m a prude, or OCD or the likes. I just like things done when hey say they’ll be done. I understand that things do get put by the way side and such, so it’s whatever at some points.

I like writing, reading, learning, playing the Sims, cooking and baking. I’m always trying to find a new thing to make or bake. I wish I was more on the crafty side and could sew or something like that, I’d love to learn how.

I love history and science, I plan on becoming a history teacher one day.

I also am a lover of all things Japanese!

Film: Boondock Saints, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, Singing in the Rain, (Noticing my musical theme?) Almost anything Disney, just no High school Musical…

Books: I don’t read as much as I used to, but, almost anything that’s thought provoking and or historically referencing. Historical fiction is a good thing!

Music: Well…I love J-pop and J-rock. However I’m not very well versed in all the different artists. Kato Kazuki, Purple Days, BECCA are my favorites. I’m open to others though.

Geeky: Lalala, I love Manga! Prince of Tennis is my main fandom of life. This series is the best to me, I think it’s because of all the little boys running around playing tennis? Yea, that has to be it. Boy’s love and Shonen-ai is really cutsy to me. I have about 20 or 30 manga that’s Boy’s Love related. Oh that’s MalexMale stuff incase you didn’t know…

Extras: I’d like to send stuff back and forth. Just because it’s made here in America doesn’t mean that you can always get it everywhere. Maybe we can also trade Cds or something like that? I like trading music, it helps grow my library and someone else’s!

Tags: any gender, email, location: us, snail mail

Current Music: RESCUE - Tak-kun
