Vegan penpals!

So, I've noticed how all our profiles have a little section about what we're here for - friendship, penpals and so on. Back in the day, dear vegans, I used to be quite the correspondant. The other day I was considering reviving my old hobby of letter-writing, and what better place to start than here?

I personally love getting mail, usually all that drops through my door are bank statements or letters from my university. Here's the plan. You guys fill in the form below if you want to correspond with someone, and hopefully we can engineer some penpal matches. I figure if you're a subscriber you can contact people directly via message; if not you can arrange swapping email addresses and then, if it takes your fancy, postal addresses.

Age:
Country:
Willing to post abroad?
Estimated response time:
My three favourite hobbies:
Favourite musical genre:
Favourite kind of literature:
Favourite film genre:

Here's mine as an example, not that you need one:

Age: 21
Country: England
Willing to post abroad? Yes, but will also correspond by email.
Estimated response time: Speedy - I'm a student, I'm flexible.
My three favourite hobbies: Live music, wasting time on the Internet, reading nerdy academic things.
Favourite musical genre: Rock/punk (yes, I cheated).
Favourite kind of literature: At the moment, pre-Soviet Russian.
Favourite film genre: Dystopian fantasy.

I'm really bad at committing to things...(not because I'm not committal just because I am busy...) However, I think it would be a fun way to get to know someone and send cool cards and stuff through the mail.

Age: 29
Country: usa
Willing to post abroad? yes
Estimated response time: 2-3 weeks...sorry, could be really quick sometimes, though!
My three favorite hobbies: lots of them....gardening, hiking, computers, design, photography, yoga, knitting, etc...
Favourite musical genre: any except, country...
Favourite kind of literature: historical novels, fantasy
Favourite film genre: comedy, independent, documentary

VeganSapien, interesting bio. If you wanna be my vegan letter friend send me a message to my VegWeb messagebox on this site. I'm a busy person too so I won't be a meanie if you don't write me right away. :)

Saskia,

yay! However, I am not cool enough to have a VegWeb subscriber account(srsly, it is now $50 a year!)...what that means is I can't initiate a message to you thru VW. Strangely, if you send a message to my account, then I can respond back to you thru the message system...so pm me if you still wanna be pals  :^  :)

my favorite is nightwish, especially the entire CD called Dark Passion Play, but Within Temptation is another good one.

If you are able to fin it online or something, my favorite Nightwish Songs are The Poet and the Pendulum ( which is a little dark) And Amaranth ( a little more poppy)
