[x] Birthday: 6/10.
[x] Sex: Female
[x] Location: Yorks! (the original)
[x] Country: Get a geography lesson, go on.
[x] E-mail: [email protected]
[x] Religion: Ooh I don't really know. Hamsters have always captured my worship. I once almost joined the Partridge Family Temple. Since I don't think "Canada" and "Patridge" would get collaborate nicely I had to give up on that idea though.
[x] Languages?: English, Frog, Dutch. Well I say I know Dutch. I fear if I tried to write any sort of letter in the language my NL to Eng. dictionary would make a dramatic collapse into dust. And I wouldn't want that, cos psychologically wouldn't that be damaging to an aspiring ecrivaine!
[x] Main Interests: spying, colouring in, typing string around things, going to Whitby, hanging out in the draper's shop and getting orgasmic with the silks, running. Quite like spending time with the people I call friends, although usually most of my time is spent up in my room or a tree with a biro and a first edition in a State of Ruin because I find it ridiculously difficult to Be Active and Do Things With Other Human Beings.
[x] Described as: "strange", although i don't really believe i am? Truthfully I think I'm devastatingly normal.
[x] Significant Other?: i am taking a v. well deserved break from significant otherness! You lot are all more trouble than you're worth. Who am I talking to? (: Don't worry, I don't really know either.
[x] School?: Yes, i go. Don't like it much though, they exhibit peculiar prejudice towards my poor purple biros and painted hands.
[x] Job?: volunteer in a charity shop. I get to use the price gun! Booyah! Actually the novelty's kind of worn off now, but I still have the Using The Till Tutorial to look forward to so I'll be sticking around there a bit longer. Not really sure if that qualifies as a proper job? I don't get any money from it. I sometimes babysit if I'm feeling desperately mercenary and in need of materialistic relief.
[x] Who are your favorite bands/singers?: Crickets and their songs, in summer, but in the winter I listen to bottled bands. At the moment I like Type O Neg. And Smiths. Same old, same old (:
[x] Favorite movies: About a Boy! Aristocats! Ratatouille! Parent Trap! Louis de Funes films! I would say a Beatles film, but I don't like them much. I like the Oxo advert where the boy's sprinkling Oxo on his sister's head. Yas. Well. I don't watch much TV.
[x] Actors/Actresses: Judi Dench, Rowan Atkinson.
[x] How many pen pals do you want?: Don't rightly know. One would be a good start.
[x] What sex do you want them to be?: You may be a hermaphrodite, never met one of them!
[x] What race do you want them to be?: Viperfish? Any of those hanging around t'internet?
[x] What religion do you want them to be?: Preferably...unreligious (: Even if you're going to keep it all to myself and don't intend to give me the Joy of God. I'm not very open minded, you see.
[x] Where do you want them to be from?: I'm not very English so I'd quite like someone from England. Love English culture! Europe, USA? Preferably people who can speak French/ English reasonably well (: I get quite impatient avec those proudly painstakenly fluent in textspeak too. People from RUSSIA! Russians to me are fascinating.
[x] What age do you want them to be?: Up to maybe 30? I'm not really too bothered but I doubt anyone above 30 would feel too comfortable talking to a 16 year old. I don't know, would you?
[x] Favourite books/authors: A. A. Milne, Chaim Potok, CGP (of the Revision Guides! Thrillingly hilarious they are), SdB, Chekhov, W. Somerset. Maugham. Babysitters Club (: My fascination of Connecticuttian peoples is fuelled by these books.
[x] Do you collect anything?: Not really. Apart from books, and that's not really a concious collection. They just seem to...come. People are always giving me doodlebooks, so I have lots of those. Oh I collect things of the Beatles! I would love to meet a Proper Beatles Fan. Or anyone who feels they should be in the 60s like me.
[x] Things you wouldn't mind getting/giving: Cucumber Sandwiches, an essential but sadly overlooked part of the English culture. I would be glad to compare and contrast, as I would like to get a Cucumber Sarnie Revolution going! I'm sure old Liz would support the revival! But we'd have to work out some sort of envelope-for-the-envelope mechanism cos things would get a bit soggy and our postman gets miffed easily. Shoes maybe. I often suffer shoe shortages.

As long as the penpal relationship was sincere and both of you did not lie too much on your real yourself then is doable

Sometimes people are afraid to escalate a "paper" relationship to a "real" one due to the risk of loosing the "actual working relationship", it's something you must evaluate carefully, are you ready to risk the current relationship for having more then that? do you think she feel the same way?

If both the answer are Yes, try to organize something in a polite and non-harrassing way, like for example go visit her country without binding it to meeting her as if she feel forced to spend her whole time with you, take a holiday there, organize a meeting with her and see what happens, if it goes well it will by itself, if it's not working you both have the chance to turn back with the knowledge that escalating the relationship to real life is a bad idea, if you are lucky you will be able to keep the current relationship even after that, otherwise, you both decided to give it a try.

My 2 cents.

The second one ended up becoming a stalker and actually flew over to Canada after I started ignoring her. I came home from work to find her sitting on my front steps. :eek
What happened with the first one? Did you become her boyfriend?
Sounds like a pretty legit woman and situation to me.

I didn't even know penpal sites were popular in Japan.
Was is like JapanCupid or something? I thought sites like those were shams.
