    <content type="html">&amp;nbsp;Hi all!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a bit desperate as my favorite journal is on its last leg, and my favorite pen died! Does anyone have access to Moleskin products and/or Hi-Tec-C Coletto pen refills? I would be more than happy to swap for them! I cant really get out of the house right now (just had a second seizure) and its hard for me to gain access to those products. Not having a credit card limits the fun as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please contact me!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:kendra.cantrell@gmail.com"&gt;kendra.cantrell@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;</content>

You can find more info on/photos of me at &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/Margeaux_Melynda"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;www.myspace.com/Margeaux_Melynda&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I have my own pal/swap group at &lt;a href="http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/AlternaSwaps"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;www.groups.yahoo.com/group/AlternaSwaps&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PEN PAL QUESTIONS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How long have you been penpaling?&lt;/b&gt; About 22 years; swapping heavily for like 14 years or more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many penpals do you have?&lt;/b&gt; Not sure; quite a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many do you want?&lt;/b&gt; Depends on who I hear from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How long are your letters?&lt;/b&gt; Extremely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you type or handwrite?&lt;/b&gt; Depends on what's going on/how my health is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you like sending gifts with your letters?&lt;/b&gt; I swap by box, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Usually, how long does it take for you to reply to a letter?&lt;/b&gt; Depends on what's going on and where I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What age would you like your penpal to be?&lt;/b&gt; Doesn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Would you like them to be male or female?&lt;/b&gt; Female or gay/bi males preferably!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where would you like them to be from?&lt;/b&gt; Doesn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What are you looking for in a pen pal?&lt;/b&gt; I have to feel a connection with you to continue to write to you. I'm looking for lasting friendship, not just 'penpals'. &lt;br /&gt;I don't want to hear from: &lt;br /&gt;--Anyone who doesn't have a decent mastery of the English language (I need to be able to understand what you're writing). That doesn't mean I won't write to people of other cultures/doesn't have English as a first language.&lt;br /&gt;--Anyone who's living in a fantasy world. (I seem to get all the crazies, I swear.)&lt;br /&gt;--Anyone who doesn't feel that they can relate to me based on anything I've written about myself here.&lt;br /&gt;--Homophobes and racists definitely need not apply.&lt;br /&gt;--Anyone that doesn't understand or is afraid of/negative toward Paganism or my being interested in &amp;amp; open-minded to other alternative religions, including LaVeyan Satanism (which is actually a philosophy by the way, not a 'religion' per se).&lt;br /&gt;--Anyone who makes a lot of assumptions and feels they can insult me but will have a fit if I tell them they don't have a clue what they're talking about...I've been getting swamped with intros lately and letters from people who claim to be 'open-minded' at first and then ask extremely ignorant and insulting questions or make insane assumptions about me/how I live/what I believe in/what I do...It gets old really fast. I'm basically just a person who enjoys living life to its fullest and is interested in a wide variety of things. &lt;br /&gt;--Anyone that desires to 'convert' me to anything. :-P And I have absolutely no desire to 'convert' you either.&lt;br /&gt;--Anyone who has a problem with me needing to type sometimes. My letters tend to be extremely long and I have certain medical issues that keep me from being able to handwrite them at times. Typewritten letters aren't meant to be an 'insult' or anything negative. :-P&lt;br /&gt;--Speaking of negativity--Anyone who tends to be predominantly negative, I don't need any downers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, it makes me look biotchy to list so many "I don't want to hear froms", but you wouldn't believe what I've had to put up with lately. I figure I'd better get these things out in the open first and then you can get to know me and see that I'm really not that scary or unfriendly. :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, if you feel like we'd hit it off, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading this, if you've made it this far!</content>

    <content type="html">Names: Sebastian and Jolyn&lt;br /&gt;Age: 23 and 19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current Residence: Singapore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random Facts / Interests:&lt;br /&gt;Jolyn dislikes: lightning/thunder, roaches, ants, using public toilets, smelly clothes and stress from school.&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian dislikes: bourbon coke, stress, traffic jams, being poor/cashless and sand in feet when wearing slippers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are a couple from Singapore seeking mutual friends and people to write snail mail to because snail mailing has become a thing of the past here in Singapore and we miss it. We love animals (especially hamsters), nightlife, wine, good food and music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man’s working and the lady’s studying in a tertiary institute. We would very much like to learn more about different cultures and would also like to tell about ours. We do not get bored when our penpals start rambling about their daily lives and happenings, unless you lead an extremely boring life which only involves your tv, game console and your home. We also hope that you would want to read about our daily experiences and events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are currently fascinated by French films but they are not very commonly screened locally because of the low demand. We don’t watch much TV because we’d rather spend time out be it having a coffee at Starbucks or watching multiple movies in a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List of favourite music includes Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Nelly Furtado, John Legend, Paolo Nutini, Fergie, Hinder, Justin Timberlake, Lifehouse, Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty, Rivermaya, Sean Kingston, Travis, some super old oldies, trance, lounge, rnb, pop and many many more. Very very diverse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A list of things that we wouldn't mind sending: letters of course and small gifts or music/drawings/scribbles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many pen pals do we want?: 2-3 maybe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What gender do we want them to be?: doesn’t really matter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preferred age of penpal: any age will do, really&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Format: handwritten or typed or even emails&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do you want them to be from?: anywhere in the world as long as you communicate in English&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anything else: We would prefer YOU to mail us the first letter. We’ll send you a small present whenever possible. Please leave out anything that is too gross for the average person. Length of letters would vary according to our moods and content. If there’s nothing else to say, I guess we won’t keep rambling on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If interested, contact us at evilnike13@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;Do check out our LJ sites too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whenjospeaks.livejournal.com&lt;br /&gt;evilnike.livejournal.com</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Name: Usually Nadia these days, but my mother still reverts to my childhood nickname,'Ned' without so much as an explanation as to why I was saddled with a boys name . Pshaw!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Age: I just turned 21, thanks&lt;br /&gt;Location: Southend-on-sea. England. &lt;br /&gt;Gender: Female. Last time I checked!  Hoho, You didn't see that one coming! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Penpals-&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Number of penpals wanted: I don't mind how many, hell: if I get any at all i'll be surprised! &lt;br /&gt;What gender: I wouldn't mind a male one for a change, just to see what it's like. However I'm perfectly happy to have more female ones. &lt;br /&gt;What age: Any. So long as the letters are readable and not crap. &lt;br /&gt;Package trades: I don't know yet. Bring it up to me in a letter and I'll have a go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write me first, please. I'm snowed under trying to get my hair to lie flat, I simply don't have the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Interest-&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Music: Morrissey, The Smiths, The Cure, The Housemartins, The Futureheads, Mystery Jets, Ludes, Larrikin Love, The Beatles, L'arc En Ciel, Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, The Jam, They Might Be Giants, The Libertines, New Rhodes, Little Man tate, The More Assured, The Prodigy, UB40. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hobbies: Listening to music, Sitting at my computer, Reading at work thinking up elaborate excuses to get out of work, imagining stuff that's not going to happen, dying my hair, projecting myself into small spaces, making dens out of blankets and clothes horses, harassing wildlife and genrally giving them a bad time, malingering, Proposing marriage, being anti-social, cynical, scornful and shy, thinking about piercings and then wimping out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dislikes: Horses. Kerbs. Fringes. Slobbery dogs. Long queues in the post office. Chavs cornering me and hassling me up with their majorly bad chav vibes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Books: The wrong boy - Willy Russell, Any terry Prattchett, perks of being a wallflower, Starter For Ten hitchikers guide, The L shaped room - Lynn reid banks, any George Orwell, and Angela's Ashes and the sequel, 'Tis. Oooh, and the customary Harry Potter. As well as any Nick Hornby. I'm not an intellectual. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movies: Party Monster, Roxanne, Napoleon Dynamite, Battle Royale, Happy Gilmore, Edward Scissorhands, Drop Dead fred, Pee wee's big adventure, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, Pom Poko, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Television: The Mighty Boosh, Bottom, The Young Ones, Rising Damp, Porridge(sp?) Open All Hours, Black Books, Only Fools and Horses, Dr. Who, 'I Love' documentaries, 'Whatever You Want' on E4, Father Ted, The IT Crowd, Family Guy, The Smoking Room, Big Train, ANYTHING with Reeves and Mortimer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write a little about yourself: So many people tell me I'm strange. I refuse to accept this. I'm not really, I'm quite harmless in a rather sad way. I spend my spare time clawing at pictures or Morrissey and Robert Smith fomulating plans to kidnap either one. I like running up to strangers, tugging at their clothes, and squealing ''Where did you get that?!' My hair is always some stupid colour. I don't get out much, I dislike to socialise so I'm likely to respond to your letters promptly cause I'll be indoors in the dark, plotting.  Unless I forget. I slave in an arcade for employment. I wonder if Rik Mayall/Alan Rickman/anyone will marry me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;READ THIS WITH YOUR EYES: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I owe you a letter, or forgot to write to you or something,  please tell me. I got a bit lost during Christmas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is me. Don't recoil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/distinctlyminty/pic/0000zp7r/"&gt;&lt;img height="240" width="320" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/distinctlyminty/pic/0000zp7r/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However I mainly look like this now: I AM SAD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/distinctlyminty/pic/000104pz/"&gt;&lt;img height="240" width="320" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/distinctlyminty/pic/000104pz/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Has anyone ever had a letter they spent a lot of time and thought writing, be ruined and have to be re-written??. I just finished rewriting a letter to a friend in Germany, that was destroyed by a freak OOPS moment :(. I was in the Chicago area visiting a mutual friend, so I was writing a daily account of the visit for our friend in Germany who could not be there. I had a sport bottle with soda in it in my carry on bag when I went to the airport to return home. Even though I had even put the bottle in a ziplock baggie and closed the bottle tight, somehow it opened. Of course, there happened to be a tiny hole in the baggie as well. When I went to continue writing my account of my trip to the airport ect, I found the bottom of my bag and every thing in it soaked, and the letter ruined :(. I could make out the words, but the paper of course was shredding and wrinkled, and the ink on the paper running horribly. There was NO way I could mail such a pathetic sloppy excuse for a letter. I think next time I carry a letter in progress I will make sure to NOT put anything that could ruin it nearby, and even cover the letter itself..sigh..lesson learned...</content>

    <content type="html">Does anyone know any web store where to buy beautiful &amp; inspiring stationary? It is so difficult to find lovely stationary in Finland these days. I like all kinds of artistic papers and beautiful ones with themes like Nature, Art, Romantic, Trees, Leaves, flowers/plants, garden, mythologies, fairies, mermaids etc. but I'm not very much into pink &amp; pastels &amp; cutesy myself. But I now and then see amazing stationary (in letters I get from pen friends) with art theme like Waterhouse's paintings or other such lovely things. Or old style/calligraphy/victorian..</content>

    <content type="html">Name: Jenny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Location: Tennessee but soon to be Texas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hobbies/Interests: writing,rpgs, world of warcraft, darkfall, fairies, fantasy novels, horseback riding, rock climbing, long letters, pretty letters, my children, making new friends, hanging out with friends, state parks, waterfalls, learning about different cultures and walks of life, and much more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music: rock/metal, just really depends on my mood. I listen to a ride range of music&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TV: I rarely watch TV, I don't really have the time. I do like Lost, and House and I watch a lot of dvds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dislikes: rude people, dramallamas, closeminded people, broccoli (yuck)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do You Want More Snail Mail Pals?? Of Course!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Collects: fairies, cute stationery sheets (Korean Anime, Kawaii, San-X, etc), Snowmen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anything Else You Think We Should Know ??? I'd love to get back into penpalling more. I still write a few close friends but I got out of it due to personal reasons, but I'm at that stage where I'd like to write more. I write really long letters most of the times. If I happen to write a short letter, I'll always go back and write another long one within that week to make up for it. I reply quickly and I do like swaps in my letters sometimes, it's not required though!! I like slams and decos, stickers, cute stationery, etc. Anything really! I'm a pretty outgoing person and love to learn about different people. I would prefer long letter female pals. Any age group.</content>
