About Me:

31 year old American female in search of other snail mailers.

I love the feeling of fascination I get when I'm outdoors, and I try to take that feeling inside with me when I come in. In general, I try to stay permanently fascinated. It's a good place to be.

Pappadums are the perfect food, and my preferred fuel. If I can work 'em into a meal, I will.

Requests:

Looking for SNAIL MAIL pen pals (primarily female, but wouldn't mind some genuinely cool males - I'm NOT interested in finding a romantic relationship​, I'm happily saddled, thanks.)

Avid old-fashione​d pen & paper & scrounging around for stamps letter writers. The details come out in the letters. Not looking for love, just paper from elsewhere landing in my mailbox. Reciprocatio​n? Of course! If you're interested, contact me!

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Hiking and camping (in the desert, preferably),​ cooking (Japanese & Indian mostly, or a nice omelette), eating out (Japanese, Indian, Lebanese, Greek, pho, dim sum), exercising to work off the aforemention​ed food (hiking, yoga), reading, writing letters to pen pals

Favorite Music:

old-time/blu​egrass (if it has a fiddle and a banjo, I'm happy)
old 60's and 70's Chicago soul
classical (Bach to Shostakovich​)
various traditional music from around the world, especially involving stringed instruments (oud, erhu, etc.)
"rock"​ (Frank Black would be a good indicator of my taste)

i love www.pandora​.com (the music genome project)
(enter artists you like and find similar artists)
my current pandora radio stations: o.v. wright, crooked jades, roy head & the traits, foghorn stringband, sharon jones & the dap-kings, beirut.. give 'em a listen if you like.. :)

Favorite Movies:

cheesy fun (e.g. Pink Panther movies, Conan, 80's movies), mindlessly entertaining​ (action movies, suspense, thrillers), thought-prov​oking (documentari​es), movies that have nice cinematograp​hy, movies that have Gael Garcia Bernal in them..

recently, I've been watching a lot of old Roy Rogers movies. I love how a classic Old West barfight or shootout is followed by some good old four-part harmony singin'. nothin like authentic period pieces. :)

Favorite TV Shows:

No Reservations​ (Anthony Bourdain)

Favorite Books:

mostly nonfiction (history, social psychology, biography, food writing, travel memoirs, true crime, an inordinate number of books about dams and water politics for some reason)
some fiction (Italo Calvino, Karel Capek, J.R.R. Tolkien, Edward Abbey, not that you have to be dead for me to read your fiction)

Favorite Quotes:

Hi Jen! Nice to hear from you from you again! It has been a while indeed! I am good, was a bit busy with work and lessons the past 2-3 weeks but now things have slowed down again and i am back to the normal daily rythms, which is nice!

I did not know that your birthday was Nov 14. Happy birthday then, even a little late! What's your zodiac sign then? Did you have a good time with your family and friends? I bet you did! Mine is May 14!

As you probably know, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving​s here! Have a great time on Tursday and let me know how the Turducken tasted! I hope it will be yummy yummy! ; )

My weekend was good! A friend came over from Athens on Saturday and we had a good time together! Sunday was mostly relaxing!

Many warm greetings and cheers!!! // Irene

Did you have a good weekend? What is new with you?

Hey Jen! How are you? How is your weekend going?

I am good, just enjoying the weekend! I met a friend this morning, went out for coffee and then a walk at the mall! Now, i am home replying to some messages, but later on i am going out for dinner!

We don't have anything connected with Halloween here! The only day off is Oct 28, but that is because it's a national holiday (connected with the 2nd world war)! Do you enjoy halloween?

Oh, when exactly is your birthday?

We don't have Thanksgiving​s either! What is it about?

Wish you a good weekend! I hope you will have a great time at the coast with your grandparents​!

Hey! How are you?

Trikala is bigger city than the one i live! It has it's own ''colour'' as a city! Dunno if that expression makes sense in english!

Your grandparents​..sounds nice and cozy! You will get reminded of the old times! Did you know that we don't have Halloween in Greece?

I am good, kinda busy with work and lessons lately! My students have exams almost daily! Feeling a little tired! I need vacation!

Cheers!!!

Hey! The weekend was great! I went to Trikala (a city in north Greece). Change of scenery and went out of the daily routine for a while! Good to hear you had a good time too! Have a great week!
