Hello all, I'm a 37 y-o French civil servant, happily married and mother to a 6 y-o wonderful little girl.
Looking for British or English-speaking female snail mail penpal with similar or even very different interests.
I love to write long letters and sometimes send little gifts (postcards, dried flowers, etc...) and would like some of the same in return.
Please send me an e-mail if you're interested and we'll exchange addresses to correspond :)
Cheers
Requests
I'm looking for an English-writing snail mail penpal, female from 25 (at least) to 60 or even 70 to share thoughts about the world, hopes and successes from our life and even disappointments and failures.
I'd like to correspond with someone from the British Isles (UK, Ireland and smaller islands).
Hobbies & Interests
I love reading and writing. I have eccentric interests like fairies, collecting notebooks without writing in them, American wrestling and lots more.
I do colour adult colouring books, not for focus, but for grounding and relaxing. I intermittently play World of Warcraft and have been reading Harry Potter fanfiction for 8 years now, with no end in sight.
I love listening to the podcasts of radio BBC3 or BBC4, because their essays and documentaries are fantastic.
I love fairies (especially the works of Cicely Mary Barker, hence the screen name), and everything magical, mythical or supernatural.
Favorite Music
At the moment, I'm quite passionate about World Lullabies. It's sweet and perfect to go to sleep whether for my daughter or for me.
I'm a big fan of the first album of Imagine Dragons because one of their songs was the music used in the ad for Assassin's Creed 3 or 4.
I love Death Cab for Cutie and am desperate that they'll probably never come to France so I won't be able to go to one of their concerts. Addendum : a nice lady from Interpals told me they come to Paris on June 25th, and I already bought my place for the concert. I'm so happy!
Also Liz Phair, Erin McKeown, the Puppini Sisters, and dozens of things...
Favorite Movies
I recently re-watched the Addams Family movies which I found still hilarious more than 20 years later. Why don't the movie people do that kind of dark humour anymore?
Anything by Hayao Miyazaki which is the best Japanese anime director ever, lots of Pixar but not Disney.
Also the long version of the Lord of the Rings.
Favorite TV Shows
House of Cards, Downton Abbey, Castle, The Fall, The Mentalist and many more like Scrubs (hilariously odd and full of references), Gilmore Girls, Whitechapel (I was very disappointed when it was discontinued), BBC Sherlock and the new How to get away with murder.
Favorite Books
Fantasy books. I was very saddened by the death of Terry Pratchett, whose writing always made me laugh and feel better.
I love the Game of Thrones books (haven't seen the TV series yet), and anything by Robin Hobbs. I was awed and captivated by the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks.
And I have a weakness for old-fashioned romance : Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontey, etc
Favorite Quotes
"We are a part of you. Invisible to anyone else."
If you know what it's from, then we definitely could click as friends.
New project, I'm going to get it tattooed around my left wrist and add the names of people who changed my life.
And as my screen name is DaisyFayry, here is the Song of the Daisy Fairy by Cicely Mary Barker :
" Come to me and play with me,
I'm the babies' flower;
Make a necklace gay with me,
Spend the whole long day with me,
Till the sunset hour.
I must say Good-night, you know,
Till tomorrow's playtime;
Close my petals tight, you know,
Shut the red and white, you know,
Sleeping till the daytime. "
