I can still send out some postcards though I suppose - I got my very first address to China today. Though I'm also that far away from my scanner so I scanned a few random ones and will have to hope I have something that matches their requests!
It's not going to be fun if I get back to halls and find no postcards there lol!

About Me: Ugh...well, this is hard. I'm generally a communicative guy. I was being told I'm quite funny, but I just think that I'm a dork. I talk too much. I absolutely can't get along with people who are serious all the time and have not the slightest sense of humour. I'm horrible at losing, might it be on videogames, sports or anything. I'm quite interested in socializing, no matter if that means going out with friends and having a beer, having a nice chat with people or - now - having a penpal. I love to have a weekend full of fun and get all emo about it being over afterwards. I'm stupid. My singing voice is awful. But my nose looks fan-freaking-tastic!
Main Interests:
General: Friends, parties, music, videogaming, football (The real football, not the American type with the strange ball and the stupid helmet 'n stuff! Mwaha.), books, movies, to some extent politics although I'm not too educated enough on that topic with all its subcategories I could actually name it as a whole. But I like discussing and arguing on various points.
Music: Dream Theater, Opeth, Dredg, Muse, Slut, Ash, Devildriver, Ayreon, Farin Urlaub, Queens of the Stoneage, Motörhead, Oasis, Megadeth, Daft Punk, The Shins, Bloc Party, Journey, Nine Inch Nails, Jimmy Eat World, K.I.Z., Porcupine Tree, Boston, Silversun Pickups, Foo Fighters, Genesis, Cold War Kids, Coheed and Cambria, Pink Floyd, Beatles...and more to come, but this is getting too long.
I consider my taste quite broad, but love Progressive/Heavy Rock/Metal the most. I absolutely adore Old School Rock and Metal, like some Indie, and even hear a occassional hip hop track from time to time. For the last one I am very picky though.
Books: Haruki Murakami, Nick Hornby, Kazuo Ishiguro, Phillip K. Dick and and many more... Movies: Old Boy, Wag the Dog, Fight Club, Apocalypse Now!, The Godtfather 1 2, Casino, Back to the Future 1-3, Die Hard 1-3, Indiana Jones 1-3, Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, The Big Lebowski, Almost Famous, Platoon, I Heart Huckabees, Cloverfield, Goodfellas, The Return, Seven, The Usual Suspects, Walk Hard

How many pen pals do you have?: None
How many do you want?: A few. 1-3
Do you want email pals?: Yup D
o you want snail-mail pen pals?: Yup.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter?: Will vary, but I guess I should absolutely manage a reply per week.
What gender would you like your pen pal to be? Don't care
Age?: At 18 or 19 and up to late 20's
What are you looking for in a pen pal? Someone who has a sense of humor (MUST), has an interest in music and just is nice to talk to. I really cannot be that specific, just looking for someone I'm interested in and have chemistry with :)
Where would you like them to be from? I really couldn't care less :)
Please don't be shy, I won't bite. And I will have the decency to reply to every message I get. I really don't have a preference concerning snail mail or E-Mail, although the next few weeks will be quite stressful for me, so E-Mail would be a better choice for that timespan.
Thanks :]

Nickname: Cazza, Cazzie, Caz, Cazzaline, Carolina, Caro, C, Line
Age: 19 (born on May 24th, 1990)
Gender: Female
Location: Victoria, Australia
Occupation: Unemployed - trying to find work and I have just graduated as a student from high school and waiting on uni offers.
Dream Job: Journalist

Email: asuka-langley@hotmail.co.uk
About Me: Hello. My name is Caroline. I'm a short person who has long brown hair and blue eyes. I have just graduated high school and I am waiting for uni offers to come in which doesn't happen until January! I have a lovely black labrador dog whose name is Bella - and no, she isn't named after Bella Swan from Twilight. Bella was just the only name that the whole family could agree on. Bella just turned one in November and she is always making me smile. She is one of the best things about my life. I have pale skin. People used to carry on about it (and my height!) but because o f Twilight being pale is cool so now everyone is saying, "Oh you're so lucky! You look like a vampire." Lol. My dress sense is a lot like Blair from Gossip Girl. You will always see my wearing headbands. I also have size 5 feet so it's really difficult to find shoes that will fit my feet. When I have to go out to a party and I need something to wear it will usually take me hours before I can find high heels that are in size 5! It gets rather frustrating sometimes! I'm really ranting on about myself since I really don't know what to say when I have to talk about myself. Basically I'm a really nice person and I love meeting new people and learning about new singers, bands, new people. I really want to meet some new penpals because most of my penpals are either too busy to write to me anymore or they have just disappeared. I really do miss receiving mail in my PO Box!
Interests: writing, reading, singing, playing with my dog, shopping, acting, watching my favourite shows, hanging out with friends, going to the movies, penpaling.
Music: Taylor Swift, Delta Goodrem, Nickelback, Rob Thomas and Within Temptation.
TV programmes: Gossip Girl, The Amazing Race, MasterChef, Survivor, Heroes, Home and Away, Packed To The Rafters, The Vampire Diaries, Glee and Chuck.
Books: Twilight, Vampire Academy, Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer, books by Jaclyn Moriarty, books by Sophie Kinsella, books by Cecelia Ahern, Gossip Girl books, House of the Night, books by Sarah Dessen, Poison Study and other books by Maria V Sndyer
Movies: Twilight, New Moon, Avatar, Marley & Me, The Spiderman movies, Iron Man... and lots of movies I can't think of right now!
How many pen pals do you want?: Oh, I can handle a lot of penpals. So whoever comments you are my penpal. ^_^
Do you want email pals?: Sure but I prefer snail mail penpals and it seems I have a lot of email penpals lately...

Where would you like them to be from?: Anywhere basically but especially from Singapore, Germany, the Netherlands, America, other Asian countries ect. Also if you are from Australia I will still write to you because I love writing to people even if we live in the same country. I always think it is quite mean when people are turned away from being someone's penpal because they live in the same country. I won't do that.
What are you looking for in a pen pal?: A great person who will make me laugh and smile when I have had a bad day. Who will love to read long letters about my life and would like to tell me about their life. I would love a penpal who I have stuff in common with and even if we don't have something in common that they can teach me all about the stuff that they like and introduce me to new bands and singers. Especially I want a penpal who wants to write to me and who won't disappear on me!
