I'm 5'8" with red hair and blue eyes. I live in Tamworth, a country town in NSW, Australia.

I love to laugh and I especially love making other people laugh. I always have a smile on my face and something to sing about. My life is utterly fantastic!! I like to think that I have an infectiously​ happy disposition.​

I'm a voracious​ reader and I spend as much time as possible curled up in (or sprawled out on) my bed with a book.

I work in IT, I go to the gym every day and my favourite colour is ​purple​!

I wish my life was a musical; preferrably a less serious, more absurd one, like Once More With Feeling or Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog.

Since a lot of my friends moved away recently, I figured that getting to know some new and interesting people from all over the world would be fun!

I'm looking for people around my age (18-26) who have a good grasp of English.

I think Female penpals would be best, since I seem to have more in common with girls than guys, but if you're a guy and think our interests match up, I'd certainly  love to hear from you too!

E-mail or snail mail are fine, though snail mail is much more fun.

I love writing (and receiving!) long letters and I also love being crafty, so if you're that way inclined and would like to send and receive decorated letters, that's a bonus!

* Reading​ -- I mainly read fiction (fantasy), though lately I've been overcome by the urge to read as many "classics"​ as possible.

* Sewing​ -- soft furnishings,​ like cushions and bags, but also garments. The item that I'm most proud of is a really classy black ruffle skirt that I made with a friend.

* Painting​ and Craft​ -- I love making and painting all sorts of things. I've been toying with getting the courage to start actually painting on Canvas the past few weeks... I'm in the middle of a big project to make sculpted 3D tiles for the boardgame Settlers​ of Catan using modeling clay and lots of other bits and pieces at the moment.

* Writing​ -- I love writing short stories, though I rarely actually end up finishing them.

* Going​ to the Gym​ -- I go every day after work and really enjoy it. I also prefer to eat good, healthy food, but I have a giant sweet tooth, so I also eat lots of chocolate, lollies and much-too-big​ bowls of Cookies & Cream icecream. Thankfully my metabolism is insane, so I'm skinny.

* Snowboardin​g -- I went to the snow (Falls Creek in Victoria) in winter last year for 2 weeks and was instantly hooked. Hopefully either this year or next year I can head to Canada for the season for a working holiday and get a few solid months of snowboarding​ in.

* Shopping​ -- I love shopping. Mainly for books and clothes. Shopping for guys clothes is nowhere near as fun as shopping for girls clothes though, so I love to tag along with friends when they go shopping. Ladies clothing is so much more interesting and varied.

Cur​rently reading:​ Jane Austen

See a list of the books I have read or want to read and have remembered to add to my ​ Library Thing account.

* Neil​ Gaiman:​ "You​ get ideas from daydreaming.​ You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it."​

* Kim Newman:​ "Anans​i Boys is one of Neil Gaiman's books for grown-ups, which means that it's a lot less ruthless than the material he produces for children."​

* Kelly​ Link:​ "I don't know whether I believe in faeries or not. I definitely believe in people, like Arthur Conan Doyle, who believe in faeries."​

* Walt Disney:​ "There​ is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island."​
