Wanted.

17 December 09 | 12 comments

I am seeking a penpal. One with whom I do not normally correspond (much or any) via email. (Commenting on my blog is acceptable.)

You must be willing to accept ridiculously sporadic and often mundane/confusing/weird letters from me.

Must also be okay with handwritten AND typed letters.

I do not care where you live, only that you will write back sometimes (sporadically, mundanely, confusingly, etc.)

Male or female. Any age.

Anyone?

I used to do this with a good friend of mine. I sent postcards with pictures of frogs and gibberish written on the back. Home-made tapes, poems. He sent cat hair, riddles and once he sent a ham sandwich. It was a riot. I’m not volunteering to be a pen pal, just thought I’d share.

Michelle’s husband, Dave

Oooooh! I want to! I used to write to a few various friends and it died out! And I need more adult interaction in my life! Even if it is sporadic and rambling :)

I am good at sporadic responding :P

Am I a regular correspondent? If not, I would like to send you dumb postcards and stuff. (I can do that even if I’m not your penpal. Let’s talk.)

Truly? If so, I’m totally game. I like to write and receive letters. I do have a little spelling handicap for my handwritten letters and you’d have to be tolerant of that ’cause I hate looking up anything I suspect may be misspelled.

Go for it. If I receive a letter from you I will respond.

I guess I don’t qualify. And you wouldn’t be able to read my writing anyway.

I haven’t hand written a letter in 20 years or more. Sorry, i will settle for emails, though.

I’m totally up for it! You don’t know me from a hole in the wall…I’ve been reading for probably 6 months or so and maybe have commented a couple of times, but I love the blog and feel like we are friends even though you don’t know from the aforementioned hole in the wall. Which is odd, now that I think about it. I hope that didn’t sound stalkerish! :) Anyway, email me if you’re into it!
