The Pen Pal Thread

Name: Alexandrine. I'd prefer if you address me as Alex, though.

Age: Barely 16.

Country: The United States.

Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter, but if you're in the US, I'd prefer you be sort of far away from me. I live in Kentucky. I know all about around here, I want to learn more about other places.

Music: I'll listen to nearly anything. My favorite bands include Black Veil Brides, Bring Me the Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Woe is Me, Motionless in White, and Get Scared. But I also like some mainstream music like Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, Chris Brown, and so on.

Hobbies: I play volleyball, I'm a photographer, and I write. I'm sort of a boring person.

Describe yourself: I'm a nice, caring, compassionate person who's always going to stand by you no matter what unless you do me wrong. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I do not judge one for what they believe, do, etc. I'm just a really positive, focused person and I'll get what I want by working hard towards it.

Other: Uhh, I think Francisco Lachowski is the most beautiful man on Earth? I don't know what to put here. o.o

Letter writing experience: I've never had a pen pal except for one I'd email back and forth for my Spanish class, but I'd prefer someone who I can totally understand and can totally understand me. xD

Name: Kayleigh.

Age: 15

Country: UK

Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter. :)

Music: I listen to My Chemical Romance, Queen, Blessed By A Burden, Three Days Grace, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot etc.

Hobbies: I like writing, sleeping, drinking Rockstar and more writing.

Describe yourself: I don't really lie much to people my age, if you piss me off I'll tell you and if I don't like you I won't pretend I do. Ur...what else.....I use sarcasm a lot and pretty much find humour in anything. I don't get offended easily, honest.

Other: I don't like going outside so I'm just a bedroom hermit that only leaves for food and school. This means I have no life whatsoever, which means I'm practically always on mibba.

Letter writing experience: My French teacher got our French pen pals in December time. I sent one, she sent one back, I sent one in February and I'm still waiting on the reply.....thus not a lot of experience.

Name: Therese
Age: 21
Country: New Zealand.
Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter.
Music: Anything except for goth and rap. I am mainly into Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and old school 80's and 90's music I can dance to.
Hobbies: Writing, drawing, going to the movies, being creative.
Describe yourself: I'm shy so I usually wait for someone to talk to me, I am kind, caring, a good listener so if you ever need someone to listen I am here. I am also easy to get along with. I speak my mind and the truth, sometimes its a good thing and sometimes its a bad thing. I can be sarcastic at times and I'm not easily offended unless it comes to my family and friends and my mental health.
Other: I'm a CSI: NY, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural nerd :)
Letter writing experience: I had a pen pal when I was 9-10 and haven't had one since.

Name: Steve (Not real name, but what I like to be called.)

Age: 16, almost 17

Country: United States

Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere. :3

Music: I'm pretty much open to a lot, but my favorite genres would be rock, dance, alternative techno, victoriandustrial. Some artists I enjoy are Panic! at the Disco, Britney Spears, Cobra Starship, My Chemical Romance, Lady Gaga, LMFAO, MIKA, Emilie Autumn, The Beatles, Mariana & the Diamonds, D.R.U.G.S. etc.

Hobbies: I really enjoy singing, and I'm going to learn to play the ukulele. I want to get into photography, so I'm saving up for a DSLR. I love writing, of course. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I like reading and video games. Love obsessing over good video game soundtracks. I also like web design. Fashion is another one of my favorite things, and it's kind of a hobby.

Describe yourself: I tend to ramble a lot, as you should have noticed above, which could make for long letters. I love music and will probably reccomend a lot of music and videos you should watch... I can come off as super awkward and shy because well... I am. I enjoy watching movies and ranting about them. I enjoy ranting in general. I'm a very good listener, and while I can't give good advice, I try my hardest. I'm going into my junior year of high school.

Letter writing experience: I have no pen pals as I write this, and had one in like 3rd grade for some girl in another school but after that, none. :3

edit: PM me if interested. it goes without saying, but i'd figured i'd let you know. :3

I send candy... :3

Name: Ashley, but most people just call me Ash.

Age: 19

Country: Canada (but not for long...read on!)

Country of Pen Pal: Doesn't matter.

Music: Avenged Sevenfold (number one, foREVer and always), My Chemical Romance, Escape The Fate, The Used, Halestorm, Three Days Grace, Bullet For My Valentine, Motley Crue, Burn Halo, and so many others. Good old rock and roll, ya know?

Hobbies: Writing, video games, travelling, anything to do with history, used to horseback ride until I had to sell my horses, and just hanging out with friends.

Describe yourself: I am proudly straightedge, and kinda shy 'til you get to know me. I write much better than I speak, however. I'm blatantly honest, but a very loyal friend (and I like to think I'm a good listener as well). I have two cats, am left handed, and love writing stories with other people. Lord of the Rings is too awesome, Johnny Depp is my favourite actor, and I still like watching the Beetlejuice cartoon (Tim Burton rules). I'm a video game nerd, and the more historically accurate the games are, the better. :P I'd rather watch movies with a couple friends than go out and party on a Friday night.

Other: I am going into my second year of university in October, and here's the awesome part - for the first semester I will be studying in Italy. So I could send postcards from there! :D Fun fun.

Letter writing experience: I used to write letters when I was younger to friends and such. But then the age of the internet was upon us...dun dun dun. It's always fun to get real mail, though!

PM if interested. :D

Name: Alyssa, but I prefer Adam or Lyssa.
Age: 15.

Music: Three Days Grace, Anberlin, 30 Seconds To Mars, Hawthorne Heights, Panic! At The Disco, Marilyn Manson, Avenged Sevenfold, Elliot Minor, Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, My Chemical Romance, Asking Alexandria, The Used, etc. I love post-hardcore, indie, pianorock, alternative, J-rock, K-pop & dubstep. I like minimal pop & despise rap, hip-hop & country.
Hobbies: Writing, web-coding, reading, bowling, movies.
Description: I love letters, hence why I'm here. I'd write long ones, filled with irony, puns & my sick humor that you'll grow to love. Proper grammar is at the top of my list & will be disparsed. I'm a sophomore in high school & a person you can't pinpoint easily. I'd like to think I'm not incredibly boring.
Experience: I had a penpal in second grade.

PM me or drop a comment if interested.

I like to sing and write, I also love to dance and hangout with my friends and try to include all clicks into my group, I don't judge anybody.
I like any kinds of music.
I only had one penpal.

Oh god. I totally was going to be SOMEONE'S pen pal, but I forgot who it was, as I deleted the private messages I got from her, so I can't tell her that I can't be pen pals because my mom said so. I'm really sorry to bump this, but I'm just hoping she sees this. >_<

Name: Kat.
Age: 24. I'm an old hag.
Country: Slovakia.
Music: I like a lot of bands, the most favourite are LostAlone and Deathstars; generally, favourite genres are rock and metal. I don't really care what the other person listens too, it's perfectly fine if our music tastes aren't the same,
Hobbies: I read a lot and I love to discuss books. I also like to write, be online, travel, take walks through cities, watch movies, fangirl about Emile Hirsch and Stephen Fry.
Describe yourself: My life isn't super-exciting. I'm generally a nice person, especially to unknown people. I like to think I'm funny, but it's not up to me to judge, is it? And I'm not really good at describing myself. (Does my introduction sound as awkward to you as it does to me?)
Other: I love getting letters so much. So it'd be nice to have someone to exchange them with, or postcards, occasionally. I'd prefer if the person was somewhat older. PM me please, if interested.

Name: Heather

Age: 18

Country: South Africa

Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere. :)

Music: I don't discriminate when it comes to music. :) But if I have to pick a favourite, I'd definitely have to say Rock, Metal, Indie etc.

Hobbies: I draw and paint, and I like to think I can sing and play the guitar. XD I also really really love acting and writing (goes without saying)

Describe yourself: Uh, I guess you could say I'm a pretty easy going person. I'm pretty chilled and laid back. I get along with most people. :) I'm an artist and an actor. :) I'm a bit of a weirdo though, but not in the creepy stalking-your-mom kinda way. The good kind of weird... if there is such a thing.

Other: I LOVE getting letters in the post. It makes me happy inside. :D

Letter writing experience: I've only ever had online pen pals, but it'd be great to actually write real letters to someone. :)

Name: Rowen
Age: 16
Country: Netherlands
Country of Pen Pal: I don't mind. I'm willing to send letters to anyone, even if you live on Mars.
Music: I love all kinds of music. You Me At Six, Falling In Reverse and Noah and The Whale are some examples. Though I listen to a lot of covered songs by the Glee cast lately.
Hobbies: I love writing, especially with pen and paper. I like fashion, and I like to make people happy. Film and photography is also a huge part of my life. I adore to paint and draw. I'm just very into the arts.
Describe yourself: Like I said above, I'm very creative. I can talk about anything and I'll always try to make someone else feel better. I don't usually get that personal about myself, I suppose, I'm more interested in other people.
Letter writing experience: I've had a few pen pals, and I really like having pen pals. The waiting before you receive a letter is pretty epic. I always try to write long letters from three pages or so.

Name: Lucy
Age: 15
Country: England.
Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere - I'm not bothered.
Music: My favourite bands at the minute are Versailles, Avenged Sevenfold, Turisas and HIM. I listen to a lot of different genres - I'm not really into much pop music, though.
Hobbies: Writing is one of my main loves in life - I'm in the process of thinking up a fantasy story. I love make-up and gothic type fashion as well as reading and watching films. My favourite series by far is Lord of the Rings - I'm obsessed. I love Game of Thrones, too. I also love art, but I'm terrible at drawing people - I do stuff based on Tom Phillips' Humument.
Describe yourself: I'm quite quiet at first so I'd probably need a pen pal who isn't afraid to take the lead in the conversation at first - but once I get to know you I snap right out of my shell. I'm friendly and I'd happily discuss anything - I don't get all offended if people have different opinions from me. For the most part I'm quite laid back but I'm very friendly - I'm never unnecessarily mean.
Letter writing experience: I've never had a pen pal before but I love the idea of it and I've love to have one.

Name: Sonja

Age: 17

Country: Canada

Country of Pen Pal: Any country! I’ll write to anyone, anywhere.

Music: Indie, alternative, rock, foreign, classical, oldies

Hobbies: My number one hobby is writing, if I’m not trying to write something, then something is wrong. Going hand in hand with that is my love of reading. I also really enjoy fashion and creating my own unique looks. Finally my secret geeky hobby is linguistics.

Describe yourself: I think I would consider myself as a pretty creative person. I really enjoy meeting new people and I’m really big on travelling. I love Europe and I’m going to live there in the future. Sometimes I can be a little shy but everyone I know describes me as a nice person and generally easy to get along with. Running out of things to talk about isn’t usually with me because I like to ask a lot of questions.

Other: I really enjoy learning new languages. I can speak English, German and conversational French. So if anyone wants to do a language exchange, I’m game.

Letter writing experience: I’ve had penpals before but that was about a year ago. I really enjoyed it and would love to do it again!
