Well, I don't know. Haha, I get ahead of myself. I think "ooh, project!" but then... stop there.

Well, lets see. There's pen palling. That's not very interesting though. Postcarding, again, not that interesting, but a bit more.

We could, oh, I don't know... write a book together. Create a couple of characters together, and then take turns writing chapters. Or. Ooh. I like this next idea. Do you like photography? I like photography. I especially like taking pictures.

Okay, so. Idea is this: we each get a roll of film, or a disposable camera or whatnot. Use it. Take all the pictures. We might do a theme, or a "day in my life" sort of thing, or, whatever. Just random shots works too. Take alll the pictures. Get them developed, in two copies.

This is where it gets a little complicated. I'll take one set of the copies, and write on the back what they are, or a random quote, or something I connect with them, something they make me think of. The other set, without notes, will be mailed to you. You'll do the same thing. So at this point, we'll each have two sets of photos: one of our own, with our ideas on the back, one of the other persons, with nothing on the back.

So! Now we take the other persons, and do the same. If we don't know something in it, we can make it up. Be imaginative. Poetry, quotes, stories, whatever. Anything goes.

Then we mail everything we have to the other person. So you will end up with a set of the photos I took, with my comments, and a set of your photos, with my comments. And I'll have the photos you took with your comments, and the photos I took, with your comments.

Sounds a mite confusing, nej? I get creative this late at night, haha. Could be expensive with the posting and the film and the developing and whatnot. But it could also be so... just, I don't know. It'll be seeing how a different person sees through your eyes, and vice versa. How you see through someone elses.

This is a long commment, haha. What do you think? That could be fun. Do you have any ideas?

[hott_for_soup]

oh wow, that's such an amazing idea. im astonished you came up with that, Kudos! i'm up for it, definately. im sure i wouldnt be able to think of something that i'd like more than your idea.
