I'm also going to watch this space for the next list.

I just got a pretty new fountain pen and I'd love to write something more exciting than course notes with it. :)

Ohh, I would love to get on the next list!

Darn for me not finding this sooner. I'm always wanting to write letters, but no one I am friends with is really all interested. Actually one of my friends was like, "Letters? No way. There's e-mail."

We have to be era appropriate?!!! Is it too late to back out???!!! lol lol lol

I would like to apologise to my list, I'm currently in the middle of a house move & an awful Child Development module in my course!! I think that Sunday will be reserved for writing (& relaxing no doubt!!!!)

I don't believe there is a requirement (or even an expectation) to be "era appropriate". There was another thread that started an "era appropriate" (for lack of a better term) attempt to correspond. I participated in that and exchanged several letters with another member. Then, to quote Forest Gump, "and just like that, she was gone." For whatever reason, that project didn't get off the ground (at least with me and my "vintage" pen pal).

I have really enjoyed corresponding with several members here. Like has been said earlier, just getting a letter or card in the mail is nice. It is at first somewhat awkward (at least for me) to write to someone I do not know at all. But, after a couple of letters it is much easier. I would encourage more folks to get involved with this "pen pal project". I believe you will enjoy corresponding with each other. I know I do.

I'd always love to get a letter from someone. Anyone who'd like to write me is welcome to, I'll write back.

I'm 20 years old. I'm taking basics in college, English 112, World Civ, and American History 101.

I play video games. RPG's, not J-RPG's usually. Strategy and RTS. I am a big fan of podcasts. I have my own podcast, the link is in my signature. I read books. Harry Dresden books, Koontz, Laurrrel K. Hamilton. Thriller, mystery, crime. All of that fun stuff.

Put something in the mail for me.

Did this ever get going?? I thought i put my name on the list[huh]


Yeah, this go round was a bit lagging. I didnt get any letters from my new pals. :( I was hoping this time someone would write to me first instead of it always being the other way around. Oh well.

If there are people who are serious about starting it up again, Id be game :)

:eek: I would be one of those naughty pals. :eek:
It seems we were both hoping for the others to write first. :eusa_doh:lol
If you're still game I'll drop you a note immediately.
If not, you can put me back in the pool and I'll promise to write first to at least one of my new pals. :eek: ;)
