    Letter writing experience: I don't have any pen pals.

    I like writing letters, but my parents haven't decided yet whether or not I can write letters back and forth with a random stranger, possibly in another country. Email is great.

    Just PM me, and I can give you my email or whatever. :3

    Country: United States of A.

    Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere!

    Music: Rock, Alternative, Techno, Jpop/rock, Kpop/rock some R&B, Japanese vocaloid. I love Three Days Grace.

    Hobbies: Writing, Drawing, Reading, Playing mmorpgs, Role playing, Singing (badly)

    Describe yourself: I am an extrovert online but an introvert offline when dealing with people face to face. I like talking about almost everything except for politics, and controversial issues.

    Other: I like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! (I am a pegasister!)

    Letter writing experience: I used to have pen pals, but most of them turned out to be creepers who wanted pictures of me, or video chat or they just wanted to "sext" with me.
    Or they didn't know English very well so It was really awkward trying to figure out what the other was talking about.
    And there was this one guy who I liked and he was totally cool, but he was stationed on an army base (he didn't tell me where) and I eventually stopped hearing from him...

    Pm me if you're interested! :D

    Country of Pen Pal: Anyone from outside of the U.S.

    Music: Uhm, well, I like a bit of everything really. I've been listening to Marianas Trench a lot lately, but I usually listen to the top 40 stations and then a few other bands.

    Hobbies: I write, browse the internet, take pictures, and study Biology with a passion.

    Describe yourself: I'm fun loving and incrediably open minded. I dont tell secrets others tell me and I always offer myself as a wall to punch or a shoulder to cry on. I like to help others a lot. Biology is a passion of mine, I adore it with every fiber of my being. I plan on going to Medical School and graduate as a Psychiatrist. I have a recent obsession with Batman. I can be really girly when I want to be (i.e. I own over 178 eyeshadows and somewhere near 70 nail polishes. Facepalm ). When it comes down to it I'm always in the mood for fun.

    Other: My obsessions change about every month, like I said, right now it's Batman. I'll also be starting college soon and am terrified of that idea.

    Letter writing experience: (optional) Example: I have one penpal from the cheese loving state of Wisconsin and we keep in touch regularly.

    PM me if you're interested. I'd also prefer that we talk via e-mail for a while before we switch to snail mail, my mother's really funny about this sort of thing. Facepalm

    Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere! :)

    Music: This sounds like a cop out, but honestly, I like all sorts of music. I do like musicals - I could probably sing along to the whole of Les Miserables - not well, I admit though. I also listen to a lot of Florence and the Machine, Ed Sheeran, MCR, Fall Out Boy, Three Days Grace, Queen and Adele.

    Hobbies: I read practically all the time, I write ( which really is just me writing 100 words of a story then giving up on it and starting a new idea all in the same day). I also play the clarinet, draw, take photographs, cook brownies and attempt to teach my dog tricks :)

    Describe yourself: I am quite (well, very) introverted, but not so bad with strangers or very good friends. I laugh very easily and for too long but also really like having debates or discussions. I am also very determined and like organising things :)

    I'd prefer it if we talked over e-mail - I love writing letters, but e-mail is the cheaper and easier option!

    music: I listen to all types of music, and don't have a favorite band

    hobbies: eating, writing, reading, cooking

    describe yourself: I am a girl who is attending a community college (and loving it) who has way too much time on my hands. You could describe me as lazy, but I don't really think I am. Even though I have a lot of time to do stuff, I spend it on homework (if I have any) or just relaxing.

    letter writing experience: I have had a few pen-pals in the past, but we kind of stopped writing to each other. I guess school really does get in the way of things sometimes.

    Hobbies: Writing, reading, arts and crafts

    Describe yourself: I am a very laid back girl who mainly just likes to goof off. I love to laugh at nearly everything. I am a huge animal activist, there is no reason to abuse an animal, and with that said I am a firm believer in that the breed of an animal does not determine their level of aggressiveness. I aim to be a vet one day, or to at least run a rescue center.

    Letter writing experience: I've only ever had one penpal, it was so much fun. I did it when I was little, it was actually my mom's idea.

    Country of Pen Pal: (Optional)

    Music: Uh, classic rock of the 80's/70's/60's, modern rock, country. XD

    Hobbies: I like to write and read.

    Describe yourself: I'm quite shy in person but when I warm up to people, I'm told I'm annoying but in a good way because I guess my annoyingness and my loyal ways is what earns me my friends in the first place. Depending on how close I am with my friends, I can be really affectionate, or just friendly, but I treat my friends - offline and online - like my family and I am the first to comfort people. I'm more of a listener than a talker (unless you get me started on a topic that I like), but other than that, I'm just a plain ol funny girl.

    Other: I have an obsession with Thundercats and Genesis, so, don't be surprised if I make a Thundercats or a Genesis reference. But i'm not overbearingly obsessed with them (I don't think). I also tend to ask questions that may seem a bit personal, but it's up to you to decide what and how much you want me to know.

    Letter writing experience: I've had a pen pal when I was much younger, but it was more old fashioned though. :) So, I guess I'm fairly new at this whole thing.

    Name: Nikki

    Age: Seventeen years old (January 26,1996)

    Country: U.S

    Country of pen pal: I really don't care! I absolutely love talking to people from wherever they happen to be and think it's totally cool to meet people from literally everywhere, aha.

    Music: I listen to a lot of stuff excluding your typical boy bands like 1D, at the moment, I'm madly in love with K-Pop but in general, I'm your typical headbanger.

    Hobbies: Writing is absolutely my life. I honestly wish to grow up and become a published author someday. Art really is a stress reliver for me and I used to do it alot but now with a busy schedule, it's hard for me too. I'm the type of girl who doesn't like sports at all...ahem, I sit on the couch and watch soap operas or shows on Netflix and maybe Bachelor every Monday.

    Describe yourself: I'm often seen as a very mean or rude person which is why I stopped trying to make friends on here. Um, I guess I just give off this mean or intimidating vibe which isn't true at all. I guess it's maybe because I don't use enough smiley faces when commenting on your profile or when I comment on your story and give you constructive criticism. Also, maybe it's a few of my belief that I portray in the political forums? Anyway, I'm very open minded to things that people find rather awkward? Gay marriage, abortion, etc, these topics I look into very openly and always consider both sides of an argument. Aside anything political, I'm really shy and adore making friends even though I actually suck at it. I always try to look at things positively.

    Other: Well I'm perverted with my sexual fantasies and such lol. I talk about my Kpop men in a rather...inappropriate manner. Hehe.

    And in general, I only have one pen pal.

    Describe yourself: Shy. Definitely very shy. Fairly easy-going and totally random. Worst sense of dry humor ever. Sarcastic. Slightly obessive-compulsive about things.

    Other: don't really care where people are from (though I'd kinda prefer not the US.) I also kinda prefer snail mail. Is that an option? I just think it's cooler.

    Letter writing experience: I used to have a penpal a couple years ago but we lost touch.

    Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere is cool! I like learning about different cultures and different people in general. I write and understand Spanish pretty well, so there's that too.

    Music: My Chemical Romance, In This Moment, 2NE1, Taylor Swift. I'm very open when it comes to music.

    Hobbies: Reading, Writingduh, Making Crafts, and Cooking up Sweets.

    Describe yourself: I'm a very shy person at first, and don't take offense if I'm not one to divulge my life story at the very beginning. I have a "wall" according to most people, but deep down I am a very sweet and loyal person. You know I'm starting to feel comfortable around you when I dish out my famous pun jokes. I'm a really punny person, get it, ok.

    Letter writing experience: I used to have a few in middle school, but then it just stopped because we all went our separate ways apparently.

    Country of Pen Pal: I don't really care where you're from. I'm interested in meeting all sorts of people. :)

    Music: I'm really open to anything. I'm a big fan of pop (K-pop and J-pop included.), rock and roll, and hip hop. I've also recently taken an interest in jazz and the blues.

    Hobbies: Writing is one of my main hobbies, and I'm looking into starting a professional writing career. I also like reading. I'm really into entertainment of all sorts; film, television, music. I'm real big into anime and comics, though.

    Describe yourself: I think I honestly come off as an abrasive person. I honestly don't try to be, it's just that I'm really passionate about my opinions and beliefs and I suppose people get offended by the way I express myself. I'm a really open minded person, though, and I totally respect opinions and beliefs differing from mine. I'm really shy and awkward when you first talk to me, but I get to know you I'm more pleasant to be around.

    Letter writing experience: I've never had a pen pal before.

    Age: 19 (October 15th, 1993)

    Country: United States

    Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter; I'm for talking to anyone from anywhere! :)

    Music: Country(because its what I was grown up on), Metal, Kpop, and J-Rock. Those are just my favorites; I'll listen to about anything except Rap(excluding Eminem) and Black Metal. I'm forever a Linkin Park, Kamelot, Keith Urban, Dwight Yoakum, and Super Junior fangirl!

    Hobbies: Writing is pretty much my life--sometimes its far too involved in my life. I also do a lot of things with horses; showing, rodeo, etc. Apart from that, I stalk Kpop bands on Youtube if that can be considered a hobby...? I also love looking into how movies are made. Whenever I buy a DVD, I have to have the behind-the-scenes stuff along with it.

    Describe yourself: I'm a redneck, simply put. I grew up on a ranch and it will forever be my home and a part of me. I've worked with horses and cattle all my life. Barrel racing is my favorite sport; I absolutely love doing it. I try to remain an open-minded individual in a community that can be highly conversative and strict on beliefs. Celtic/Irish culture is a fascination of mine--as is Asian culture. Making others happy and helping them to feel more positive is a life goal I've set for myself. Oh, and I'm a college student whose considering majoring in English with a minor in Equine Studies and possibly Journalism.

    Letter writing experience: I used to have two pen pals, but haven't written to them in years, sadly.

    Age: 16

    Country: United States

    Country of Pen Pal: I don't mind.

    Music: I generally will listen to anything but country or gospel, but I list my favorites as One Direction, Avenged Sevenfold, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sublime.

    Hobbies: Tumblr, Polyvore, writing, Global history (anything but the US's history), baking cookies and cupcakes, eating, reading non fiction, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion, GTA, RPing (occasionally), watching PBS, sleeping, eating, asking too many questions, laughing, dreaming, making friends, Hunter S Thompson everything, learning French, culture of other countries, reading about various things (cults, genetic engineering, sex, etc) and shopping.

    Describe yourself: I'm really shy when I first meet people so I've been told. So if I can't jump right into the conversation like most, don't be offended. My humor can be offensive at times but I know when and when not to joke about something. I spend my days stalking Zayn Malik and Brian Haner Jr, and occasionally Liam Payne and Niall Horan. I love making sets on Polyvore even though no one seems to like them Happy face I change my mind often. I get attached to people too easily, thus I can seem clingy. I think I'm pretty accepting of everyone. I don't care if about your gender, religion, sexuality, the color of your skin, where you live, etc. I only care to get to know you.

    Other: I never talk about Christianity. I believe I have a fear of it. I really like talking about my kitten... I'm interested in learning about any religion that isn't Christianity. Well, no, I'd take the time to learn about Christianity too.

    Letter writing experience: I had a pen pal when I was much younger, but I do think I'd be a good pen pal because I like asking questions. It would be fun on both parts because I like asking questions and I'm sure you love answering them.

    Um, I'm not too sure if I'd be able to do snailmail because I live with my parents and they'll question me about letters, but we can always PM on here or email. I'd offer texting but I broke my phone so.

    Country: United Kingdom.

    Country of Pen Pal: They can be from anywhere, I don't really have a preference. tehe

    Music: I like anything with a nice beat to it, but The Pretty Reckless and Of Monsters and Men are some favourites of mine.

    Hobbies: Reading, writing, eating a lot, and I could be considered a bit of a movie buff.

    Describe yourself: When you first meet me I'm usually so awkward it's on the verge of being comatose, because honestly I don't know how to supply conversation. (The internet is completely different thank god). But when you get to know me I become much warmer and hyperactive, according to my mother friends.

    I totally have friends. Grr

    I also tend to laugh a lot. I really really love Batman, whether it be comics or movies. And although it's my main obssession, Harry Potter and The Avengers are fun to talk about. My humour can be sort of offensive, too. Shifty

    Letter writing experience: I've never actually had a pen pal before.

    Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere is fine!

    Music: Rock--this pretty much includes all genres within it. Favourite band is Avenged Sevenfold, though I really adore lots and lots of other artists. Classic rock like Led Zeppelin and even electronic rock like AWOLNATION. Singer-songwriters also are a guilty pleasure of mine. Especially Ben Rector. I just love it all haha.

    Hobbies: Hmm. If it were a while ago I would say writing, though these past couple of months I haven't been able to get much done. I play ukulele and dabble in piano. Reading, too. I'll read anything you can throw at me. I like to watch TV shows... anything from Supernatural to Teen Wolf, Top Gear, Hawaii Five-0 and Say Yes To The Dress. LOL. I'm also into gaming. On PC I play The Sims 3, and on PS3 I play a lot of COD (from MW right up to Black Ops 2), GTA and Uncharted. You are certainly welcome to hit me up on there too.

    Describe yourself: I'm pretty immersed in college right now. I don't have a whole lot of time for anything else, because I do my courses online and procrastinate more than I do any actual work. I'm in the middle of my second semester and have only one more to go. I love animals. I have a Chinese Crested puppy named Pippy and a ferret named Klaus. I'm super, super awkward in real life though I try to be outgoing and friendly toward everyone! I like to ramble about the most insignificant things and I love hearing about other people's interests and whatnot.

    Other: I dunno. I'm willing to talk to anyone. So yeah, I don't really have any preferences or anything. I just haven't been active in either mibba or anything writing-related for quite some time, so I want to get back into it. If you really want to do snail mail I'm down, but we can just PM or email if that's what you like.

    Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter.

    Music: Electronica, dance, house, chillwave, indie rock/pop, some hip hop, and depressed people from Manchester in song format.

    Hobbies: Web design, travelling, dancing the night away, collecting ugly jumpers, arts and crafts, learning new languages, football, exploring the city, and finding new music.

    Describe yourself: I'm a film studies graduate with a severe case of wanderlust. I really don't care much to sit still, I always like to be off enjoying life and having fun with my friends. I curse like a sailor, people I meet are under this weird impression I'm funny and charming, and I like to think myself pretty chill. Not much bothers me really and my life motto is I can handle anything. If I can't handle it, it clearly doesn't need to be handled. I also tend to come bearing gifts, which does wonders for my popularity obviously.

    Other: I speak three languages fluently, two decently, and I can tell you how to get to Legoland in Danish because that's essential life knowledge, you know.

    Letter writing experience: I'm super good at carrying on long friendly conversations over email for years at a time without boring the other person to death so I'm counting that as pen pal experience.

    Music: Anything; from One Direction to Pierce the Veil.

    Hobbies: Writing, Reading, Drawing, Singing, Composing...

    Describe yourself: Most people describe me as an artsy person, and my life is basically made of music. If I'm not singing, I'm listening to music or reading. I have phases of obsessions, and right now I'm in the Vic Fuentes/Pierce the Veil phase, though I always will love every single phase I went through. My favourite genre of music is classic punk with 40's and 50, but basically anything before the 90's. I'm very annoying most of the time, but people say it's because I'm hyperactive and I'm really enthusiastic. I'm passionate about everything, and I believe that everyone has a right to live.

    Describe yourself: I'm a little awkward at first in person, but since we're just writing I'm a lot more outgoing. I'm incredibly hyperactive and tend to get excited very easily. I have my obsessions, and I think my current one is the Avengers. I love music, if I could and was good enough I'd become a singer. I love movies and if I couldn't be a singer, I'd be an actress. I love food. I hate exercise. I'm weird. I'm happy. I'll write back very quickly because I'm super excited to meet you. Arms Haha

    Music: Usually whatever I'm in the mood for. Currently, though, I'm listening to new Bullet for my Valentine and Hollywood Undead, as well as all of H.I.M's music in prep for when I go and see them in a few months

    Hobbies: Writer, Music, Foodie, Family orientated (except when I'm not), Movie junkie, Marvel comic and movie nerd, other.

    Describe yourself: I have the attention span of a gnat. I love to play SIMs for exactly a half hour before I get bored of it and jump off to do something else. But the important things: I'm a fulltime student at my local community college (Criminal Justice major) and it's a lot of fun. I have two dogs and my birthday is in May. I'm currently awaiting Iron Man 3 and I've just recently gotten into Assassin's Creed …sadly I have no gaming system or the game yet. I have a sailor's mouth at times and love to take naps. I'm also huge into my heritage (I'm a second generation Russian/Spanish Jew on one side of my family) but I believe that just plays into the fact that my family is hugely family orientated.

    Other: I would make my girlfriend move over in bed if Robert Downey Jr (Tony Stark) came knocking on the door. She completely excepts this. I also like to eat.

    Letter writing experience: I've had some penpals in the past, I used to write to friends a lot but I haven't lately.

    Warning: I have chicken scratch handwriting that I am completely working on! So some letters in some words might be a little hard to read.

    PM me if you're interested and I'll give you my address! <33
