I am a very ordinary guy. My name is Mark. :D

I am a 22 graduate of Bridgewater College and am a soon to be teacher. My favorite subjects are government/politics, but I love just about anything.

In my spare time, I like to listen to music (I am a crazed Dolly Parton fan), roller blade, think, read short things, and act (I love theater).

I believe in peace and love and hope and all those good things and I accept everyone as they are :D

I joined interpals because I want to make new friends from around the world. Also, I live in a rather dull country area and thus have a lot of free time, haha.

I am always up for Skype. Dollymaniac1

I am interested in:

--Making international friends that last more than a comment.
--SNAIL MAIL
--Discussing culture, lifestyle, countries, politics, sports, hobbies, nothing, something, whatever.

I am NOT interested in:

--Finding a soul mate.
--Donating money that I do not have to people I do not know.
--Being solicited
