I'd like to meet:
I would enjoy meeting people who are interested in being friends - preferably as pen pals - and who want to discuss anything and everything under (and including) the sun. If you want to be added as a friend, please send me a note 'cause I don't like to add people who haven't introduced themselves ~ Thanks! : )
