About me

*******NOTE**************** I live on campus from sept-mid december then mid jan to may

otherwise I'm at my parents' house :P


I'm Sara. I'm 18 and I currently go to Albany for college. I live in Wappingers Falls, New York which is about an hour from New York City. I've lived in New York my whole life. I major in Journalism. I speak Japanese and a little Italian and Spanish and French. I plan to learn a lot of languages because I love words and culture and all that. Primarily, I want to learn Japanese fluently.

I've been pen-paling for about ...four years. I seem to accumulate a lot of dead beat pen pals after a couple of letters or so. I primarily use swap-bot to writer letters. I'm slowly getting into jewlery making, though :) I also make/alter a lot of my clothing. It's fun. I love buttons!

betsey johnson, baby the stars shine bright, metamorphose, and soundgirl are awesome brands :)

I tap dance, play tennis, sing, write, etc. I love living life and being spontaneous. Also, I break into places as a hobby...like abandoned buildings, mental hospitals, asylums. It's really enjoyable. I go with my friends and explore and note the amazing architecture. I have flickr if you're interested.

I just got your letter, but there was a big tear in the side, and the magnet you wrote was in there is missing, stupid postal service :(

Thank you for the cute mini-memos! I'll get your reply in mail asap.

Your letter is in the mail! I hope this one reaches you this time :)

Hi Sara - I mailed the 100 Ways to Improve Your Life swap today. I apologize for it's lateness. My grandmother suffered a heart attack and was constitutionally hospitalized. I just realized how many interests we have in common. I ♥ Radiohead and Queen. Also want to enter a career in Journalism and enjoy photographing abandoned buildings. We should do a "letter swap" sometime. Thanks!

Hey Sara!

I got your letter a little while ago, and I liked it a lot. I haven't had time to write back yet, but hopefully I'll have time to soon. Should I still send it to the first address? Or should I send it to the other one you gave me? Haha, it's confusing.

Ohh, and I think I'm going to hunt your Facebook and add you there if that's okay? :P
