About wayness...

I’m glad I joined postcrossing, it’s great to see cards and stamps from around the world after basically a lifetime of domestic mailing. Also it’s nice to randomly connect with postcrossers the world over, hello to the people out there who might write to me! I am into books, food, films, poetry, mythology, fantasy and science fiction (ASOIAF), bubble tea and the NFL. I used to go around the different museums collecting art cards so postcards of paintings would be nice. But no multiviews, cats, boats, boring ad cards or cards in envelopes if you don't mind. And please write to me too, I’m always happy to see a lot of writing on the back of the card.

In case you don't know what to send when you get a blank profile here are some suggestions:

any favorite
art cards (in particular William Blake, Ensor, Ernst, Erté, Botticelli, Magritte, Dali, Karl Schinkel, Alma-Tadema, Waterhouse, Ivan Bilibin, Maxfield Parrish)
folk art, illustrations
Indian painting
stained glass
sphinx, dragon, mermaid, gargoyle, any mythical creature
library, author, book related
Buddhism, Dalai Lama
Moomin, The Simpsons, Alice in Wonderland
One Piece, Gackt, Street Fighter
tarot, opera, moon with ocean, ship with sails
dog, camel
shaped card, 3D, maxicard
croissant, dumplings
card made from a cool food package
painting of a desert, outer space, robots
knight in armor, Medieval theme
gold or silver colors, jewelry
fantasy, mythology, fairy tales
Year of the Dragon
portrait of Beethoven
Rome, Florence, Capri, London
Governors Island, Venetian Macau
vintage/vintage reprint
picture of an intriguing scene
nice card you just got and want to send to somebody
weird, funny, beautiful, generally interesting :-)

Don't worry if you don't have anything on my long goofy list, I like surprises too so send anything you like and I'll be happy to see your card in my mailbox and read your message.

P.S. What I like most about the receiving side of Postcrossing is the communication from a stranger; to see that someone you've never met has sent you a postcard for me is like finding a message in a bottle. I have received several cards where people write the info from their profile on the back of the card or talk about the weather, but I'd like to read about something other than that if you don't mind. You could write about a book you're reading (or recommend a good one), your favorite film, the last movie you watched, the image on the card, a dream you had, the strangest thing you've seen/heard of, how you met your significant other, what's been going on lately. If you like to draw I'd be happy to see your drawing on the back of the card, or if you're into poetry it would be nice to read a poem you like or maybe a quote on the back. I am interested in reading about you, hope to hear from you soon :-)

P.P.S. Here's my obscure stamp wishlist, in case you might have one...
Year of the dragon
Roald Dahl from the UK
Mozart from Austria
Little Mermaid from China
cool stamps
thank you ^_^
