The Pen Pal Thread

Name: Christie/Kris

Age: 22

Country: United States

Country of Pen Pal: Doesn't Matter

Music: Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, P!nk, Lady Antebellum, there's a whole lot that I listen to. I used to have almost 40 GBs of music ranging from jazz to metal, but a horrible little thing happened (my nephew) and it's all wiped from my computer. I mostly just listen to whatever I have an itchin' for on iHeartRadio.

Hobbies: Writing, cooking, reading, and movie freak. I'm also somewhat addicted to playing Sims when I've lost all inspiration to write.

Describe Yourself: I'm a horrible at multi-tasking. I have delayed reactions. I used to go to college, but as of now I'm taking a break. Going to go back and hope to either pursue a degree in education or culinary arts. When I'm angry I tend to find myself cooking to vent. I'm usually pretty quiet when I'm getting to know new people. It's not because I'm nervous I just like to listen. Listening to people is a strong suit of mine. Besides you learn so much about people that way. Though my quiet phase only lasts so long then you can't shut me up.

Other: I am obsessed with the television show Scandal.

Letter Experience: I've never had a real pen pal, but I regularly email a friend from my hometown.

PM me and we'll swap emails or addresses whichever is fine with me.

Describe yourself: I try to stay on the positives, but everybody has there days. I'm out of mind and I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing yet.

Name: Victoria

Age: 18

Music: Anything, really. Mainly bands like McFly, Feeder, Blink 182 and Muse, so a pretty diverse range. I also adore classical and jazz music.

Hobbies: I like to play guitar, The Sims, trumpet and the Tomb Raider series.

Describe yourself: Firstly, I get really annoying bursts of acting like a 5 year old. Now that's out the way, I like to think I'm a good friend. I'm really into conspiracy theories, music is my life, I adore my xBox, I pl.ay guitar, trumpet, clarinet (badly), bass (not too shabbily, pino (badly) and ukulele. I'd LOVE to learn another language, maybe Korean or Italian. Not much difference there. I don't think there's much else to tell, really.

Other: I barely speak French. I can count to three in most languages and I can ask you if you speak German in German. My dad is pretty fluent, so he speaks it around the house a lot as a joke and I've picked up on ridiculous phrases.

I don't take help well and I'm very proud and stubborn which I guess could be a fault in many ways but I just count it in as another thing that helps to make me who I am.

Nevertheless, once I start talking to someone and get to know them, I can keep a conversation for hours. I'm really easy going and down to earth, and I love people. I grew up in a family with three brothers, so I'm definitely not high maintenance, and I don't really care what I look like or wear.

Other: I'm going to Europe this summer to visit my uncle and his new wife. We'll be traveling to France, England, and Germany. I'll be there for three weeks. (:

Describe yourself: Well, I'm shy. Not as much as I am in real life though. At times I can be a bit talkative and whimsical, but it depends on the time. I consider myself to be a kind person unless I'm disgruntled for whatever reason. I always end up talking about peculiar things... like society and lifestyles. I'm not a big fan of school or the anxiety it gives me.

Other: For some reason I feel like I'm signing up for a online dating site while doing this...

Describe yourself: I'm kinda shy and really awkward, but I'm told I open up to people once I get to know them. I go off on long tangents sometimes and I want to pursue a career as a writer/journalist or actress and singer (my dreams) or a teacher (a little more realistic). I like school a lot, actually. I go to boarding school so I like to think I'm pretty independent.

Other: I am awful at talking about myself and I don't know why, but I'm really nervous about having a pen pal.

Just PM me if you're interested

Name: I have many names; the two most common are Phil and Fish.

Age: 20

Country: Canada (near Vancouver)

Country of Pen Pal: Anywhere

Music: I'm partial to thrash metal and pop-punk, but I listen to a vast variety of things. Some of my favourites are Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Make Do and Mend, All Time Low, and Fall Out Boy.

Hobbies: Writing, going to shows (I used to book/promote as well, though I've stopped lately), travelling the world, drowning myself in the cesspool that is Tumblr, and aggressively yelling at watching NHL/Chicago Blackhawks hockey.

Describe yourself: I'm always looking for adventure, and searching for new connections around the world. I love meeting new people and observing different cultures. I used to be the shyest kid in my school until I woke up one day and realized that the only one who could change that was myself. I've got a ridiculously optimistic outlook on life, and enough enthusiasm for at least two of me.

Other: My favourite animal is the polar bear.

Letter writing experience: I have had a handful of pen pals from around the world, but now I rely on e-mail and other forms of communication to connect with them; during times I do not have pen pals, I have written letters to friends in the same city, and instead of keeping a diary, I often write letters to myself that I intend to read many years from now.

Please PM if interested. I am always looking for new pen pals. :)

Name: Kayla

Age: 15

Country: United States

Country of Pen Pal: I don't care

Music: I love music, I like Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Panic! At The Disco, You Me At Six, All Time Low, Of Mice and Men, Underscore (not a band any longer though, and the singer was Matthew Flyzik {ATL manager}) and more. Music is my life and it's a main component of it :)

Hobbies: Reading, writing, listening to music

Describe yourself: First call me KayKay or Tootie. Now onto the about me, I love reading fanfics, and original stories. I like oreos and apple juice. This is awkward, but I'm a very sarcastic person and I'm extremely awkward. Emotions make me uncomfortable and I heard I gave good advice for anything. If you don't have a sexual sense of humor or no sense of humor at all, we probably won't get along. I make a lot of jokes and most are sexual.

Other: My favorite animal is a wolf, I like the colors blue and black, I speak a little Chinese and Spanish and foreign languages kick my ass, which is why I don't take anymore! :)

Letter writing experience: This is my first penpal but I wrote plenty of notes in class, if that counts...

I spend most of my time looking over Pinterest for new recipes and making new hats, scarves and other things that I can post on the Etsy shop that I share with my mom. I plan on going back to school when my husband graduates next year to become a elementary teacher because I love kids and would love to be the person who teaches them some of the first things in their lives that have to do with their education.

Other: My favorite animal is a giraffe and I love the color purple.

Letter writing experience: I have written letters to multiple people before and still continue one with a friend who lives in Texas.

Message me if you are interested in becoming pen pals :)

I love this idea. I get like, no mail and that sucks. But I love having penpals. :D

Name: Kimi

Age: 24

Country: USA

Country of Pen Pal: Any country. :D I love meeting people from all sorts of countries, so long as they speak english.

Music: My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, All Time Low, Linkin Park, Sleeping with Sirens, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Marianas Trench, Of Mice & Men, You Me at Six... so many more.

Hobbies: Besides writing... I love to sing and play with my iPad. I also collect anime plushies because of how soft and cuddly they are. <3

Describe yourself: I have an autistic disorder on the high functioning end. I love Japanese culture as well as anime. I also love listening to music because it's the only thing that keeps me sane, aside from constant writing. I can be shy at first so it might be challenging for me to break out of my shell. ^^ I can be a very weird and random person once you get to know me. XD I'm OBSESSED with Alice in Wonderland. My favorite character is the Cheshire Cat. <3

Other: Oh! I send out christmas cards to people every year. I'm always looking for people to send cards to. ^^

Letter writing experience: I guess I'm okay with letters. I'm a very random person, so just be aware of that. I love writing in general... it depends on how well I know you too and if we have the same interests. I had a few pen pals with close friends of mine. But they hardly ever write to me now... ._.

Message me if you want to be penpals the old fashioned way. :D

Name: Jackie

Age: 19 about to be 20

Country: USA

Country of Pen Pal: Any

Music: Billy Joel. Phil Collins. Meg&Dia. Natasha Bedingfield. Stone Sour. Avenged Sevenfold. I appreciate music.

Hobbies: Pokemon on my 3Ds; writing; reading (I need to do more of); surfing Tumblr

Describe yourself: I'm not really sure what to say about myself. I stress out way too easily, but I'm slowly learning to calm down. I'm going to school to get my AA. It's my dream to write a novel, which is why you won't find any original fiction on here from me, just fan fiction for practice. I still haven't read through the Harry Potter series, just 1-3, finally got the 6th book for $1.99. Now I just need the 5th and 7th books and I'll be set. I don't think I'll ever grow out of the young adult section. After all, my favorite author writes young adult novels, Francesca Lia Block, if you write me I can explain why I love her so much. Of course, that's if you wish to know about that. I'm excited for the Dr Who Humanities class I'm taking in the fall. I feel it's going to be an easy A, nope never seen that movie. Anyways, I love comics, both DC and Marvel, I get most of my information from my boyfriend of almost 2 years, and wikia. Billy Joel is absolutely amazing and love the songs, Captain Jack and Goodbye Saigon. I always want to cook amazing things, but I never have the money for the ingredients. Sad face. I have a part time job that sucks, and doesn't pay enough, but jobs are hard to come by. So, basically, in short, I'm a broke college kid with big dreams and high hopes, and nobody who REALLY encourages me to do what I feel do best. Yeah, my mom says I can be whatever I want to be, but that's such a generic answer, and I am grateful for her, but I just wish my boyfriend would more encouraging of what I do. Now I'm getting into emotional stuff, okay, that's enough for now. Ta-ta.

Other: n/a

Letter writing experience: I've never had a pen pal, and I just have a hard time trusting people online with such personal information. I'd love to talk through letters. It's always so much fun to get mail. Makes my day so much better.

Name: Katie

Age: 16

Country: USA

Country of Pen Pal: It doesn't matter.

Music: I actually have a very diverse taste in music. I'll listen to just about anything if it appeals to me. I've recently begun to branch out into other languages such as Korean, Japanese, French, and German. My friend introduced me to this cool German rock/metal band and as some of Mibba has known, I'm currently fangirling over some of South Korea's most beautiful boy artists. I like classical music, pop, K-Pop, J-Pop, J-Rock, rock, alternative, punk, electronic, country, some metal, jazz, and Christian rock. I also like many others that I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm not picky with my music.

Hobbies: Writing, dancing, reading, tripping over invisible objects.

Describe Yourself: I'm not really good at this. Um, I'm currently a Junior in high school and I'm going to be a Senior soon. I like being a hermit and staying in my house, surrounding myself with various addictive T.V. shows, books, anime, and my computer. My computer and my iPod are like my babies. I don't know what I would do without them. I love writing, particularly horror or mystery or even adventure, but I'm trying to branch out into other genres. I love action movies and romantic comedies. My favorite superhero is Batman. I don't really have any outstanding abilities such as singing or anything like that, although I play a little of the piano. I'm pretty shy at first and it takes me a while to warm up to people. When I finally do I turn into a ball of energy and you can never get me to shut up. I actually like school (except the test parts) and I enjoy learning (even though my current actions in school suggest otherwise).

Other: N/A

Letter Writing Experience: I've actually never had a pen pal before even though I've always wanted one. I actually prefer letter writing (because I'm old-fashioned like that) and I hardly ever get mail so I always get excited when there's something in the mailbox with my name on it. But, if you prefer e-mailing or private messaging that's cool too.
