Hello, I'm new here! I'm Mal, I'm in my 20s, and I'm from Texas. (they/them)

Pen palling was my biggest hobby during COVID, but I never used a service to do it before. My cats are literally named Stamps and Postie, so as you can tell I am a big advocate of keeping snail mail alive. Really looking forward to finally getting back into it. My wax seal kit and pile of stamp sheets are just sitting around waiting to be used again.

I LOVE to read. Besides crafty projects, it's my biggest hobby.

I host a book club in my hometown and my favorite book I've read so far is "Everything Matters!" by Ron Currie Jr.

Other favorites:

Temporary by Hilary Leichter

Lexicon by Max Barry

My reading goal this year is 60 books but I'm way behind at only 24...(would love to meet more book worms).

If you have Storygraph, I'd love to be friends on there. If you have Goodreads, I highly recommend you upgrade to Storygraph instead (it's free). It has the same features + more in colorful graphics. Plus, you can import your data from Goodreads.

I have been making this my year of concerts, trying to go to as many as possible, including ones out of state. Most recently, I saw Young the Giant in Nashville and up next is St. Vincent in San Diego. Some of my other favorite artists are Sweet Pill, Microwave, Slothrust, BROCKHAMPTON, Fleshwater, and Joywave. Among others. Someday, I hope to travel to another country for a show!

Two other big things about me:

I'm really big on travel. I caught the travel bug while studying abroad in Italy for 6 weeks, and now I'm a full-time travel agent.

I love all things stars, too. All of the tattoos I have on my right arm have a star incorporated into them in some way. I just moved into a new house, and I want the nickname for it to be "Stellarium" (which is what 3D star maps are called).

I appreciate anything and everything, especially if components are handmade.

Please do not send: Harry Potter, Star Wars Since I'm new here, I have yet to be sent things I don't like, so if I find out more things I don't like receiving, then I'll update it here in the future..

Thank you and I'm looking forward to making new friends! :)
