About Me

I am ONLY interested in snail mail. I am not looking for e-mail buddies (unless you're rad), but I might add you on Facebook if you seem really cool. I'm mostly here for pen pals of the letter variety though and that's where my priorities lie. I also do stamp swaps.

I don't mind your race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I care about getting to know you as a person. Whatever makes you tick.

I am notoriously bad at leaving the first message.

Requests

Snail mail enthusiasts and postcard pals.

Please don't apologize for the quality of your English. I don't judge.

Favorite Books

I'll tell you what I don't read because it's easier. I'm not into paranormal romance, mainly because the animal avatars always morph into white dudes despite the geographical distribution of the animal in question. Like who turns a Bengal tiger into Whitey McWhiterson? Last time I checked Bengal was part of India and it wouldn't kill these writers to have a non-white love interest, just saying.

I do like fiction and non-fiction and I'm a fan of magical realism.

Favorite Quotes

Procrastinators of the world unite!...tomorrow.

"As I grow older, I see more clearly and distinctly what is right and wrong in our way of life and how ridiculous is everything not achieved with one's own blood and one's own soul and everything not infused with love." -Marc Chagall
