Penpals.

Feb 28, 2014 11:22

I spent all day yesterday while Wolf was at work trying to find penpals. I've been putting up ads on penpal sites and updating my old ads. I've gotten one reply to my ads and I replied to an ad and the chick replied back. The person who replied to my ad is in Germany and the one I wrote first is in the USA.

I started having penpals in 6th or 7th grade. I had a few when I was a teenager that I found in Metal and Goth magazines. I had one penpal, Thorn, for over a year. I had a bunch of penpals for a while around 2002-2004, that I met online. I also did FBs (friendship books). It was so much fun sending and getting letters and trading photos with friendly people who had similar interest. I use to spend hours reading and writing long letters surrounded by neat stationary, sticks, stamps, tape, and photos.

Since Wolf is working full-time now I figured it would be neat to find a lot of penpals again. I've had ads up for a while, looking for one penpal, but haven't been getting replies so I'm trying more actively to find penpals now. It's something fun for me to do while I'm home alone. I hope to have at least a dozen snailmail penpals and at least five emails pals to message.

I've got to get a box to hold all my penpal supplies. Just putting a penpal kit together is a lot of fun.
