| Wessel | I recall there was one topic about becomming penpals and I lost contact with mine. I would love to do it again. I’m a 16 year old boy from Holland who speaks fluently English (and Dutch of course). My hobbies are writing and reading. I love almost everything though. Sports, movies, psychology, signlanguage, cryptography, history etc. etc. Wessel |

| Esme | So are you looking for a pen pal? |

| Laura Bednarczyk | Hi, I’m Laura! I love writing snail mail to my friends, but most of the time they never write back. I had a pen pal in England for a while, but she hasn’t responded for a few months, and I’d really like to get a new penpal again. I’m a 15 year old girl from Chicago who speaks English obviously and in her second year of highschool-level French. I love to read, write, and daydream. I’m a compulsive grammar Nazi when I’m tired, but I’ll try to tone it down. I love British television and history and I’d love to travel the world someday. Please PM me if you’re interested in getting to know me better or would like to be my pen pal. |

| Joshua | I guess I can get in on this. I’m Josh, 16 from New Jersey. I’ve never actually had a pen pal before, so this should hopefully be fun. I like music and videogames. Message me if you want to be penpals. :3

| Jacob | I’m American. I’m 16. My name can be seen. You can read it. Also I’m in band. That’s right, I live close to the edge, because I’m dangerous like that.

| Emma | My name is Emma, I live in British Columbia, Canada. I’m 17 years old, in my final year of high school. I am planning on starting university in the spring term of 2012, going into the sciences (specifically biology). I’m an avid fan of british TV, as well as Supernatural, Buffy, and Angel. I volunteer walking/training dogs at my local animal shelter, and I also ride horses (hunter/jumper). My interests include reading, writing, drawing (not well!), and nerdfighting, of course! I desperately want to travel but am currently without the funds, so having a penpal in another country would be rather wonderful! Please shoot me a message! |

| Rachel | This sounds like fun! I’m Rachel. I am 16 and I live in Florida. I speak English (obviously…) and I’m in 5th year of French in school. I like reading, basketball, tennis, skiing (snow), hanging out with friends, tv, movies, and the list goes on haha. Idk what else to say now! Uhm so yeah, I think having a penpal would be awesome |
| January 2, 2012 at 11:36 pm #6579 | |
| Emma | hey there! i’m emma, i’m thirteen, and i’m living in toronto, canada. i used to have a penpal (my old friend from when i lived in minnesota, but i moved here, so we sent letters), but that kind of died off after 2 years.. i’d love to make a completely new friend though! i speak english, and i’m quite good at french aswell. i love starwars, harry potter, indie rock/alternative rock music, reading, baaasssebaaaaalllll, lots of youtubers, and animals. among other things. i’m fine with having a penpal that’s older than me, as long as they’re cool with it! |

| Emily | Hey, I’m Emily, I’m from Texas. I enjoy Harry Potter, British television, writing, music, and reading. I’m in a school band and I’m seventeen. So yeah, that’s it I guess, it would be cool to have a pen pal. |

| Megan | I’m just copying and pasting this from the group =) I’m Megan, 19 (I’ll be 20 next month) I live in Michigan. I love love love writing. I love getting snail mail. I’ve never had a pen pal, I think it would be fantastic, especially with a Nerdfighter =) I watch too much Youtube and TV. Glee, True Blood, Once Upon A Time, and Grimm are a few of my favorite. Oh and I don’t know what Dr. Who is (I know I’m probably like the only one, I really need to investigate it…) I feel like this is a personal ad and should throw in that I love long walks on the beach =P In case you haven’t noticed I like to talk a lot, I also love to listen though. My friends mean the world to me, and I love making new ones. So yeah if anyone would like to be a pen pal just message me <3 |

| Katy Smells | Hey, I’d love a penpal! I had a penpal in Canada a few years back, it was awesome. I’m looking for preferably a penpal in America/Canada somewhere rather than Europe. I’m 19, English, currently in my second year of my Archaeology and Anthropology degree at Manchester. I am a massive Potterhead, metalhead and overall airhead. I really enjoy drawing and painting so expect “illustrations” in my letters. I have the mind of a 15 year old so don’t be put off by my age. I’m also interested in evolutionary biology and mental disorders. I should also mention that I’m not big on TV, film and pop culture in general. I like Doctor Who and QI and all the obvious TV shows and some films but that’s about it. Gosh, makes me sound like a hipster! I’m nothing of the sort, don’t worry. I’m a laid back person who dislikes drama and I would love to be your penpal |

| Jamie | Hi my name is jamie, I made a post on the last one of these on the original YP however i have lost contact with my penpal :< I remember she was from the states.. and i remember the things we talked about (But i wont post them here) So. I am from Scotland, I am 22, I've been a nerdfighter for 3 years (officially :p) Although i'd like to think i've always been one, just without the community. I love to read, play games, volunteer. I work full time in a local geek store Books/Authors I like : Raymond E Fiest, Eragon/Eldest/Brisngr, The Wheel of Time (Currently on book 7) Shows I like: How i met your mother, The Big Bang Theory (Makes me feel like i'm not alone I would really really like to get back in touch with my old pen pal but i am also open to a new one as i realise the chance of finding each other again are slim. Thanks for reading. Jamie. |

| Isabela | Hi! I’ve never had a penpal but I figure it must be interesting. I’m Isabela, 17. I’m from Brazil. I speak fluent English, but apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes that might slip by! I’m friendly but also very shy with people I don’t know. I feel like I’m annoying whoever I talk to… that’s the main reason I never joined the old YP. Reading is my passion, and both my country’s and English literatures fascinate me. I am also addicted to a lot of TV series. More than I can keep up with. BUT I’ve never watched a single episode of Doctor Who. I just never got around to it! I hope that doesn’t keep me from being accepted into the community, haha Favorite books include: Harry Potter series, His Dark Materials series, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Physician, The Girl Who Fell from the Sky… and, of course, any by John. Especially Paper Towns. I just graduated from my equivalent of high school. I’m moving in a few weeks to a bigger city so I can get in a prep course for med school (the system works different around here). I guess that’s… it?! Friend me! And thanks for reading. Wow, huge post.

| Kaitlin | I’m Kaitlin. I’m 17 and live in Florida! I’ve never had a pen pal, but I’d love one! Television wise, I love Doctor Who, Glee, The Big Bang Theory, and Pretty Little Liars. I love English, reading, History, and Art. I’m teaching myself French and I don’t know much thus far. |

| Jessica | Hello Everyone! I’m Jessica. I live the Arkansas. Home of the most redneck/hillbilly people you’ll every meet. I’m not one of those people though… Right now my favorite band is Muse and One Republic. You can message me if you want |

| Judy | Hi all! I’m Judy. I hail from Maryland and I’m 17. I’m gearing up to head off to college to study anthropology and archaeology (‘becoming the next Indiana Jones’). I’m into most nerdy things (music, books, knitting, school, tv, movies, the internet in general). I’d love to hear from you! Oh, and right now I’m more up for the online kind of penpalship, not the snail mail kind (but I expect that will change in the fall when I’m off to college). |

| Margot | Gonna get in on this: Besides the obvious likes (John and Hank, nerdfighteria, Harry Potter) I like: I’m interested in a lot of other things, so if you’re interested in being pen pals, PM me! I’d like to exchange some internet correspondence (that sounds weird) before giving out my address, you know, in case you’re a major creeper. |

| ada rose | Hey, people! I’m Ada. I’m 23 and live in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. I am studying Spanish, Marine Biology and Linguistics at the College of Charleston. I speak English, Spanish, and some Portuguese. I sort-of had a penpal while my friend was studying abroad in Germany, but it mostly consisted of me writing him letters and him not having time to respond to them. I prefer snail mail, mostly because I forget to respond to e-mails a lot. Interests: I think that’s about it, but PLEASE feel free to PM me! |

| Madilyn | Aloha, I’m Madilyn. I’m 18, and despite the greeting I am not from nor have I ever been to Hawaii. Born and raised in Tennessee. I’m the oldest of four children and am absolutely insane (in a good way). I speak English. I took French in high school but haven’t picked it back up in college. I sort of miss the language though; maybe I can be motivated to study again. I’m a freshman in college double majoring in English and Natural Resources Management. Hopefully one day I’ll be a park ranger/writer. I love reading and being outside. I would love to have a penpal. My college is a bit far from my home, so it’s really exciting to get mail. Doctor Who is my favorite television, and I would be happy to help convert anyone who is interested in starting to watch it. (Not really sure how to do that, but we can figure something out.) I love fantasy books (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc), but I also enjoy other genres. I’m slowly trying to read classic literature because it is often better than new books and any respectable English major should. I’ve enjoyed Pokemon since I was seven, and I am not ashamed that I still sometimes watch the tv show with my little brother and sister. Despite being a Nerdfighter for over a year, the internet still boggles my mind sometimes. Once again, I would love to have a penpal. Please massage me if you’re interested. |

| Kristen | Hey! I’m Kristen, 17 and from the United States. I love Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Buffy, etc. I enjoy reading, writing, tumblring, and nerdfighting. Sadly, I only speak English fluently. I’ve run out of things to say, but if you find me interesting, feel free to message me. |

| enya | Hi, I’m Enya, 15 and from Ireland. I pretty much like anything nerdy like harry potter, reading, science, video games, computers etc. I’m obsessed with youtube and most internet related things and I’m currently looking for camera so I can begin vlogging and/or making my own skits. English is my first language and Irish is my second (even though I barely know any). I’ve got a year and a half of Secondary School left and then I want to study either film, computers or science. Anyways, that’s all I can think of. Message me if you want to be penpals, because that would be awesome |
| January 3, 2012 at 6:14 pm #10055 | |
| Nick | I’m Nick, 23, from Bristol, England. My interests are reading, travelling, sports in general and pretty much anything internet related (youtube/twitter/gaming etc.). English is my first and only language although I do know the odd phrase in Dutch and Swedish (both of which are languages I’d love to learn!). Currently working as a mechatronics apprentice for the government in my first year of three studying towards a HNC degree. Would love a penpal so feel free to add me and get in touch. |

| Jonathan | I had a penpal last time this happened, but lost contact due to your pants hackers so here I go. I’m 17 and from Toronto, Canada I like science, the internet (but who doesnt), hockey and drawing. I try to animate from time to time but I’m not that good at it D: I love reading, particularly fiction and SFF, and I also have two dogs that I spend a lot of time with. Anyone who wants to be my penpal feel free to message me |

| Erin | Hey sorry for being late but I’m Erin. I am 14 years old and intersted in art and music. I tried to learn Russian and Japanese on spare time but it’s hard but in school I am learning Spanish. Another thing about me is, is that I don’t like to fight…. at all my friends say I am “way too nice.” I live in America. |
| January 3, 2012 at 7:59 pm #10500 | |
| Emily | I didn’t have a pen pal last time, but it’d be cool to have one this time around. |

| Lisa | I would love to get in on this. I love the excitement of getting mail, but none of my friends seem to like sending mail back as much as they say they love receiving my letters. :/ |

| Lee | Hi there! I currently have a penpal but would love to have another one (at least you’ll know I’m a reliable letter-sender)! My name is Lee, I’m 17 from Madison, WI. I’m graduating high school in June and either hope to go to art school in Portland or not to go college, get a job, save money, and begin to travel. I’m all for adventures. I love to read, and I like to write. I participated in my second NaNoWriMo this past November and I have completed the challenge both times. I speak fluent English and even though I was born and raised in the U.S. I use the British spellings of words. I’m also an artist; I do photography and illustration, though I’m not very good at either. You can see some of my photos at dft.ba/-acgp if you’re interested at all. I AM a hipster and I get annoyed when people act like that’s a bad thing. But it mostly means that I wear whatever clothes I like and that I hate conventionality and I like tea. And even though I have hipster glasses I actually need them to see–I’m very nearly blind. I play guitar and ukulele, and I sing. And I really like socks. I guess that’s all I’ve got to say right now. Shoot me a PM or something! |

| Malin Morot | I haven’t had a penpal since I was 12, but a nerdfighter penpal would be awesome! My name is Malin and I’m 20. I’m from Sweden, but currently living in London where I’m working as an au pair. I’m a big Harry Potter fan (wizard rock, quidditch… all that stuff!). I love movies (all kinds, but I have a soft spot for gory horror movies) and travelling. I also like Doctor Who, His Dark Materials, Lord of the Rings… These past few years I’ve been reading more and more comics (Scott Pilgrim, Sandman, Watchmen, The Walking Dead… nothing too fancy). |
| January 17, 2012 at 11:45 am #35134 | |
| Izzy | I was just lamenting the fact that I don’t really have any Nerdfighter friends when I saw this thread and figured a penpal would be swell! I’m Izzy, 21, third year college student studying cinema production and art in New York (the state, not the city). I’m a fan of almost everything, including, but not limited to: almost every TV show ever (Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Psych, Modern Family, Bones, Castle, Chuck, HIMYM, White Collar, New Girl, The Sing Off, and several more that I can’t remember off the top of my head), music (I listen to a bit of everything…seriously), movies (duh…film major, haha), making up raps in my spare time, and long walks on the beach. My favorite emotion is excitement and my favorite colors are teal and yellow. I’d love to have a penpal to share mindless and random, or deep and meaningful letters with! Send me a message if you maybe want to penpal up?! (I was afraid to message other people because this thread is a week old, so I didn’t know if people already had penpals or not…) |

| Emma George | I’m Emma! I will read anything and everything. I have dyslexica, but it in no way makes up who I am. I LOVE Doctor Who have some strange believes about the government, oblivion, and the after life all kind of jumbled together from every religion. I live in Tennessee, USA and am currently in band, the book club, on a tumblr collab project that we are starting, and have very little of a social life. If you want to PenPal YourPants me. |

| Crystal Rundall | I’d love to receive some snail mail from a pen pal that would be amazing. I’m almost 21 (Feb 1st) I’m a third year college student, theatre major. I love Theatre, Costuming, Lolita Fashion (Fairly new to it through), Cosplaying, Anime, Manga (wanna get into comics just don’t know where to start), Gaming, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Firefly (Including Serenity and Browncoats Redemption), Stargate, Starwars, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, and many others. I’m really interested in learning about other cultures or meeting fellow College Theatre Majors. However I wouldn’t mind someone to share random mindless letters with. Sometimes talking to a stranger can really be a spirit lifting experience. Currently I’m In Oregon at school but once I get my Bachelors here I plan on going to L.A. California area, if everything works out. XD. I’m not looking at limiting the number of Penpal’s I have. The more the merrier so message me if your interested. |

| Jerky Malloy | There was this program I participated in when I was eleven or twelve where you paid five dollars for the address of somebody who wanted a pen pal (I searched “pen pal finder” on Google just now to see if I could find it, and there are others of the same color, but I don’t know whether it exists anymore). I bought five or six, and none ever responded to my first letter. One did send a picture in his first, though, so I carried that around in my wallet and told everyone he was my boyfriend. I am Rae. I never learned cursive, but I’ve been practicing. My interests include humor theory and linguistics. I am a jerk. |

| Gracie | Hi, I’ve never done penpalling before and have always been curious to try it, but I have to warn you that I don’t think I’ll be able to do snailmail…. |
| February 1, 2012 at 2:53 pm #47232 | |
| Anastasia | Hey! I think that’s it! PM me if your interested (:

| Zaneta | Hey! I’m Rosie, which is actually my nickname, but anywhoo. I’m obsessed with Doctor Who, nerfighting in general, music, photography, Juno, eating food, books. Lots of things basically. I’m 18 and from the UK. I collect postcards too (Doctor Who ones FTW), so if you wanted to be penpals you may receive a few of those. I’m a little bit crazy, but isn’t everyone? :p |
| February 1, 2012 at 11:13 pm #47455 | |
| Lauren Orr | Hi I’m Lauren. I love rock music, reading, Doctor Who, and my art. I play bass guitar and my favorite band is My Chemical Romance. I’m 14 from the United States, and I love writing letters. There is just something special about writing with an ink pen on fancy stationary. I speak English fluently, and know quite a lot of French. Message me if you want to send snail mail ^_^ |
