About Me:

Hello out there!  My name is Joanna--Jo or JoJo to my friends.  Speaking of friends, I'm looking to befriend people from all around the world, but especially from Japan, Korea, China, and other Asian countries.  I'm a bit shy until I get to know you, but once I open up I can be quite a chatterbox.  I'm very excitable and enthusiastic​ about the things I enjoy, even to the point of being childlike.  Oh, let's face it: I basically AM a child.  I fly kites, watch cartoons, and talk about animals, dinosaurs, and bugs incessantly.​  I'm in my last year of college, but I have no idea what to do with my life.  If there was a job that involved playing with monkeys all day, you better believe I'd take it!  Since there's not, I guess I'll have to figure it out as I go along.

Requests:

I'm hoping to meet people who are creative, like a little silliness, and wouldn't mind sharing their favorite music and movies with me (I'll return the favor, I promise!)  I love writing letters, so you can be sure that I'll send you a bunch.  Hope to hear from you!

Language Exchange Requests:

English is my native language and I'm conversation​al in German.  I only know a little Japanese, but I'm trying to learn more.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Writing, reading, art, knitting, film-making,​ comics, really awful movies, foreign cinema and music.  I sing and play the baritone saxophone, and I'm currently trying to learn guitar and Latin dancing...th​ough some days I'm not sure if I'm meant to uncover the mystery of the Tango.

hey jo!! hahaha WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME!! :D I have no idea why it took so long, it really shouldn't be taking that long!

you really liked it? because I was worried it was a bit boring, first penpal letters are hard, not for you, I didn't find it hard, but I was still worried, because it didn't feel like I had put enough in it, and I am gonna send you something else next time! :)

Well, of course, I am SO looking forward to your letter Jo!!! :) hahaha if you send me some drawings that would be awesome, I wont mock them, because whatever you draw will be 10 times better than what I could draw! I am sure they are very good anyway! :)

Did you watch mock the week? did you like it?
looking forward to your letter!!!

take good care
best wishes, Chris
