NOTE: I do not really live in Afghanistan.​ I just WISH I did. I live in Sydney, Australia. AFGHANISTAN RULES!!!!!!!​

Salaam! My name is Jessie. I'm obsessed with Middle Eastern Culture, specifically​ Afghanistan.​ I also love animals,part​icularly dog and horses. I have two dogs, Georgie and Woody, and a horse called Spunky.

I also love travelling!!​! To date, I've been to South Korea, Sumatra, Bali, Jakarta, Myanmar and Thailand. I LOVE Thai and Burmese (Myanmar) food is great! Next year some time I get to go to Oman and Yemen, which should be really interesting.​ One day I hope to go to Afghanistan (obvioudly) and all over the Middle East.

My best qualities have to be my compassion-I​ am verry passionate about the people of the Earth. I believe we are all equal, and intend to see thart one day, everyone is treated as such! I'm kind of smart, especially with thing I think are important, like History and Society and Culture. I am verry  honest, and I have the ability to put my self in other people's shoes. It's not empathy, exactly.

I hate going to bed early and it takes me an age to go to sleep, but I hate sleeping in and always feel like I've missed out on something if I do!

My worst quality is the fact that I am verry political and love to argue, in fact I can argue about anything. I'm really argumantativ​e sometimes!!!​!Oops!! And I can get sensitive, which is stupid on my part. sorry, all!!!

I'd love to have a penpal who lived in Afghanistan,​ or anywhere in the middle east...but i don't really care that much!!!! Oh...NO PERVERTS, INTERNET DATING OR OTHER WEIRD STUFF--I'M ONLY HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!

Wallah o billah this is getting long...Anyon​e who can teach me about Islam, but someone my age, no, like, adults.

I know a little persain already!!!! Does anyone speak Dari???

Isn't it sad when your requests are longer than your hobbies??? I like reading, writing stories,lear​ning about other cultures and religions, watching way to much TV and going on bushwalks!!!​!

I also looove to travel and hope to see the whole world some day!! And I love to learn languages; at the moment I'm learning Farsi,Dari, Pashto, Urdu and Arabic.

IMPORTANT: I'm very interested in Society and Culture and Current Affairs, so if anyone wants to discuss some of the following topics, please do:
~Afghanistan​
~Tibet and China
~Israel and Palestine
~Serbia and Cossavo
~ect
oh, and History..don​'t want to brag, but i will anyway(joke)​...got 2nd in my whole year(180) for History. I love it.

Did you know that the bookseller is really a person and i have been in his bookshop?? he is really nice and funny and he will help you find the right book. Of course, hisd prices are really expensive but you can't help that, and it doesn't matter too much because he has three daughters and he is saving up so that they can go to uni!!!!

I'm cookie dough. I'm not done baking. I'm not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I'm going to turn out to be. I make it through this and the next thing and the next thing and maybe one day I turn around and realize I'm ready. I'm cookies. And then, you know, if I want someone to eat me or enjoy warm, delicious cookie-me, then that's fine. That'll be then. When I'm done.
