Hello beautiful people, my name is Erin. My brother (http://www.​interpals.ne​t/remington​) introduced me to this lovely online community of culture and I love it already. I want to be your penpal, I promise. Here are some things that you should know about me:

→​ I'm extremely sarcastic and it gets me into trouble most of the time. I apologize in advance!
→​ I'm REALLY into photography,​ writing, music, and all things artsy (lol). If you ever want to see any of my photos or read something of mine, please don't hesitate to ask :)
→​ I'm going to be a freshman at Saginaw Valley State University this fall with a major in creative writing. I'm WAY excited for it!
→​ I'm one of the biggest nerds you'll ever meet. Why, you ask? Well... I can speak HTML fluently, I play video games daily/hourly​, I can recite Star Wars quotes like it's no big deal (one of the greatest series of cinema EVER), and I'm a fanatic for UFOs/aliens.​ And I take a ton of pride in being a geek. Don't hate!
→​ I don't drink, do drugs, smoke, sleep around, or anything stupid like that. Again, I have pride in this fact as well.
→​ I have a severe and unhealthy obsession with anything/eve​rything relating to Disney. And at home, that's pretty much what I'm known for. Heh.
→​ I've been told that I'm too mature for my age and that I type like a robot. But really, I'm not as up-tight as it seems. I just value intelligence​, maturity, proper grammar, spelling, punctuation,​ etc.
→​ I'm friendly, curious, stubborn, awkward, silly, and average.

Oh, and I'm actually incredibly shy but I pretty much like everyone. So, please, don't be afraid to add me/message me/whatever!​ ;-*

I'm looking for either a SNAIL-MAIL penpal or one I can talk to online. I'm okay with writing emails.

Anyone from Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia. But to be more specific... the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland,​ Sweden, Austria,  Hungary, Canada, Russia, Romania, Egypt, Spain, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and China.

Preferably, someone who is my age (17-19) or a few years older (20-22) and who shares common interests with me. Cute boys are ALWAYS welcome to send messages my way, lol. But, in general: I am looking for new friends/peop​le to have an intelligent conversation​ with from around the world :) And if you are over the age of 22, male, and address me as being "a cutie" or something such as that... I will ignore you. I'm sorry, but that just creeps me out.

(I like coloring pictures as well. Like, from coloring books and stuff. It's pretty goofy... but I want someone that I can send them to! :-[)​

"My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds in the day, and the stars at night... especially the stars. We would play a game sometimes, a game called, what's beyond the sky. We would imagine darkness, or a blinding light, or something else that we didn't know how to name. But of course, that was just a game. There's nothing beyond the sky. The sky just is, and it goes on and on, and we'll play all of our games beneath it."
- Allie Clarke
(from Steven Spielberg Presents "Taken"​)

"Theref​ore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."​
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"If you can express your soul, the rest ceases to matter."​

"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate."
- Captain Jack Sparrow

"The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE."
- Ernst Haas

"I read once about a woman whose secret fantasy was to have an affair with an artist. She thought he would really see her. He would see every curve, every line, every indentation and love them because they were part of the beauty that made her unique."​
