Music
I love music. Seeing as I am in class all the time I absolutely adore classical music, but aside from that . . .
sufjan stevens, radiohead, regina spektor, arcade fire, beirut, sigur ros, deerhunter/atlas sound, igor stravinsky, sergei prokofiev, neko case, the yeah yeah yeahs, passion pit, andrew bird, fleet foxes, cat power, animal collective, grizzly bear, etc.
Films
I'm going to be honest here, I am awful at watching films, and I have a very limited knowledge of cinema, but I would love to expand my horizons. From what I actually know of, my favourites include Etoiles, Science Of Sleep, Amelie, Elephant, and Milk.
Books
franz kafka, oliver sacks, virginia woolf, tolstoy, ray bradbury, and basically everything else not marketed to my age group . . . but mostly I am a HUGE fan of poetry. Craig Arnold and e. e. cummings are like demi-gods to me.
PenPal Info
How many penpals do you have? none :(
How many penpals do you want? hmm . . . one or two.
E-Mail or Snail Mail? definitely snail mail, but i'd like to start off with e-mail just to be safe
How long are your letters? it really depends, usually at least a page though.
How long does it take you to respond? again . . . it really depends. i'll try really hard to mail it as soon as possible!
Handwritten or typed? handwritten mostly.
Gender Preference? none, really.
Where in the world? everywhere!
What are you looking for in a penpal? grammatical correctness, literacy, and a bit of whimsy might be nice. i like people who can hold good conversations and talk about anything at all.
