I am a reporter for a weekly community newspaper in Alabama, USA. I enjoy playing the Pokémon trading card game, playing guitar, building Lego, and learning new things. One of the main things I would like to accomplish in finding a pen pal is to simply connect with others. Although he is undoubtedly my proudest achievement, I have felt increasingly isolated since the birth of my son four years ago and am exploring new ways to build connections. I have also become interested in collecting typewriters and would really like an excuse to purchase/use one regularly.
