Los Angeles Pen Pals - New Friends in United States

serious woman. jovial and respectful. honest and with a friendly sense of humour.

looking to meet people online to converse with and possibly become friends

Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrong doing. It does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres..

I am looking for someone for long term relationship.

I'm looking for an online penpal friend who's preferably not from the states. I have an interest in many countries!

May 9th, 2020
My name is J. I am 30. I live a fairly decent life. I have a wonderful job, a small but cute one-bedroom apartment in the slums of the san Fernando valley. I have a beautiful husky mix named Sunny Daze, a gorgeous black cat named Harley, I have two other cats named Moxxie and Alley cat who I take care of. Moxxie used to be indoor, but she has always been stubborn so now she lives outside and runs the street of Clark. I work hard. I have a Nissan I feel like I will be paying for until the end of eternity. I pay my bills (not always on time but I pay them). I am single. I am not looking to be with a person. Not right now.

I value my friends and family over material items. I am obsessed with my hair over everything regarding style.

Where am I going with this?

Right now, I don’t quite know... but what I do know as of today is it is 4:19pm on a Saturday, and I am sipping my second glass of Makers Mark mixed with Grapefruit Juice (its actually really good).

And I want to stop.

I mean – I have been wanting to stop – but – so far, I haven’t.
While making a list of groceries to buy over the weekend, as well as a list of things I need to accomplish during the “quarantine safer at home orders” in Los Angeles County... after checking my bank account and saw I have about 350 dollars to last me until May 22nd... one of the things I wrote is “save money”

I have always been frivolous when it comes to my purchases... they USED to be clothes, hair products, and shoes... oh how I love a cute pair of shoes and a dress or nice jeans with a top to match.

However, for the better part of a year... maybe a little longer... my vice has become bottles of whiskey... averaging one bottle every 2 days.... sometimes every day depending on what has been occurring during the week, or day, or month....
20-25 bucks every 2 days, estimated 100-150 over a week, is roughly between 300-400 a month.

^ That is an estimate – I am terrible at math. Also, I have not factored in ice, or mixers.

Since the “quarantine” I have gained 15 pounds. I know it is because I have spent nearly the past 2 months day drinking.

And I want to stop.

I keep saying this to myself. But. I also don’t stop.

I definitely know I’m a borderline alcoholic – I don’t feel I NEED alcohol to survive.

I know I used to be a “social drinker”

... but I have been “social distancing” long before this pandemic and I stay home and get drunk.

It is stupid. So stupid because I literally used to do much more with my time.

So I want to stop. I feel like I NEED to stop. At least for a while.

So... Today I am deciding to write.

I also have decided that after the rest of this bottle – which I think I can get another 2 whiskey grapefruits out of.... that I am going to challenge myself to abstain. I know I can’t count this as day ONE. But if I don’t buy a bottle at any point today – it’s at least a something.

I am not saying I WON’T drink ever again in my life.... but... I would like to see how long I can go without buying a bottle.

Because this shit is expensive and I am pretty sure I could find much better ways to utilize my income versus pouring it into a glass which ultimately doesn’t do anything for me except give me a little buzz.
For real I don’t get “drunk” anymore.

I don’t really get hangovers.

I also don’t really understand why I let this happen to the point where I need to write about it...

But my truth on paper or truth via word is what I have been withholding from the world and myself.

.... let us call this “the diary of a drunk”

Anyway.... Today I will be helping Marina pack up her apartment.

If I buy a bottle afterward, I will let you know. I’ve never been a liar.

However, I am hoping as of tomorrow... I will have succeeded in refraining from allowing myself to waste 20 dollars on something that brings me no permanent satisfaction.

Wish me luck.

I am a very patient person who has a lot of understanding for the needs of others, my friends appreciate me as a good listener who always has a suitable piece of advise. However, that is not to say that I Always Agee with everything. On the contrary, I have my own opinion which I also maintain.

Hey there! I'm a composer / rock musician in Los Angeles, also play koto (or Japanese 13-string harp). Looking for musician e-penpals especially in Nashville and New Orleans. ALL genres welcome. My musical influences: British punk/new wave, American grunge. I'm also into playing jazz and blues with my koto!

If you're a musician who loves playing live, that will be fabulous. And of course, let's talk about things other than music: I love cooking, reading, paddle boarding with my dog, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’m someone that values friendship, caring is one of my habits . I seek a pen pal so we can share knowledge and different experience of life . I love photography, reading , shopping , dancing and soccer . I hate lies, fake life and cheats. I like it when you are yourself. I just want to meet different people with different perspectives of life.

I am an outgoing and fun to be with kind of person, have passion for life. I like to hike, exercise, take photos and explore. I like hockey sports, soccer and bowling and have continued to stay in shape ever since. I have always looked young for my age. Relationships are important to me. I am cheerful (and love to laugh), attentive, thoughtful, and genuine. I like to learn new things, like to learn different cultures and traditions, I am hard working and I like to live a life of meaning and purpose

I’m affectionate, outgoing, active, energetic, positive, generous man with a healthy sense of humor who is rediscovering all that life has to offer. I'm a bit of a clown, and playful, I love to laugh even at myself. I am a Fun loving, humble man with the belief that a woman should be treated like a lady and that it is always ladies first. I am generally a happy and gentle person who is fun to be with and can be very romantic. I am positive on everything that life brings me. I believe that I am where I am at this point in my life for a good reason. I am an honest and caring person who is very loyal to those I care about and I look forward to building a solid and serious relationship.

I am very understanding,open minded with a forgiven heart, loving and caring with sense of humor,hard working with cheerful character, honest, sincere, kind, warm and intelligent with good look, i was raised with a strict Christian background and taught from a young age to always respect myself and other people i still maintain this value wherever I go

I am a dreamer. I have always believed in miracles and in existence of true love and second halves. But at the same time, I do not look at life through pink glasses. I understand that everything in our life depends on us and on our desire. I am here, because I understand that I am at the age when it is time to create my family. My words will sound banal, but I want to find sincere, strong life, which will change my life. I am an easy-going, reliable, caring and gentle woman with a kind heart and soul. Most of all in relationship I appreciate mutual understanding, mutual support, care and romance. One of my main rules in life is Always be yourself. It seems to me that the best thing which can happen in our life is love, so I hope that here I will be able to find my destiny.
