Voilà!, I take pictures for a communal photoblog I moderate with some friends, called the
Seven Day Art Collective, and I am a novelist. Je parle français un peu. S'il vous plaît parlez avec moi. J'ai besoin la pratique. I want to travel. I want to meet as many interesting people as I can. Words and conversations are beautiful, as beautiful as the people who use words and make conversation.

Penpal Info:
How many penpals do you have? None.
How many do you want? Enough. I have no many. I'll know when I have too many.
Do you want email pals? I'd rather not... but it's possible if nothing else can be arranged. I understand if you'd rather try email before snail mail, and get to know me first.
Do you want snail-mail pals?
Absolutely. Definitely. Positively. Yes.How long are your letters? It really varies on a lot. Depends on what we're discussing, how I'm feeling while writing it, how busy I am, etc. If it's hand-written snailmail letter, it'll definitely be a fair length, because I don't like wasting paper and postage. :P
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? Probably two day-ish for snail mail (I get lazy about going to the post office), and... well... almost instantly via email. I have no life while on the internet.
Would you like your penpal to be male or female? I'd prefer female, honestly. But I'm not picky.
Age? At least 16. No older than 30 please.
What are you looking for in a penpal? Someone whom I can have interesting conversations with. That's all, really; I sincerely want to get to know my penpal. I'd love to hear people whining about their problems, and telling about all the cool things in the their life. An open mind is a BIG plus.
Where would you like them to be from? No preference really. I'm partial to Canadians, Americans, Texans, and folks from the British Isles though. :]
***please leave your email in a comment. i'll get to you if I'm interested! :D***
