This is a cool idea. There's just something so much more appealing about writing a real letter, even though I've probably only done it when forced to do it for school. And there it's never for fun.

I will start pairing up and probably get back to you all tomorrow, ok?
I was going to both email everyone about it (including addresses) and post it on here (no addresses) so everyone would be clear on who they got. Let me know if people aren't ok with that.

I'll apologize beforehand to whoever gets paired with me. If you send me a letter in December, you may not get a response back until January (unless I get the letter in the first day or two of December). That's what happens when you go home for the holidays.

Got my e-mail. Maybe I'll send out a pre-emptive letter warning of my lack of correspondence until January.

Thanks Shan. I probably could have worked it out but I didn't want to get it wrong and start emailing someone else entirely.

I want a pen pal. I remember in elementary school one year, when our entire class wrote letters to other kids, and everyone in my class received responses, but me.
I'd like to give it another try!!

Man I would do this, but I end up sucking at correspondence in the end. I'm usually too busy and then forget.

So far my prediction has been true. I'm a very bad pen pal. I haven't written a single letter yet. Mostly because I've been rather busy and haven't had time to sit down and figure out what you are supposed to write in a first pen-pal letter. *sigh*

I've written about half a letter. I suppose I could just sign it and send it as-is...

I've partially written a note and drawn a picture. In the next week though, I'll definitely get it done and out. It's my goal for next week.

I wrote my penpal and sent it last week but I know it will take a long time to get to Australia.

Let me know when you get my letter (just post) so I know how long it will usually take to get to you. Also, let me know when it was postmarked (I forgot the exact date).

I'm part-way through writing a letter, but this is an absolutely crazy week for me, so it might not get done for a few days, unfortunately.

Add me to the bad pen pal (so far) list. I'm in end-of-semester hell for the next week or two, but after that, letters will be written!

The key to being a good pen pal is... well, forget the keys. Seriously. I locked myself out of my house and suddenly found enough time to write everyone letters!!

Hey, Nell! I'm planning on sending the letter on Friday or Saturday when I send the gift for the "gift exchange" thing. Efficiency! And don't worry about the end-of-semester thingy, I'm in the same... uh... situation as you are.

Won't work for me. I need to write in my room where nobody sees how many times I rewrite the letter until I'm sure the other person is able to read it.

I was having such a bad day and I got home to find not one but *two* letters and postcard in my letter box.
*dances*
Thanks Val & jennabean!
I will write back straight away.
Val - As far as I can tell yours is postmarked the 28th November (it's kinda blurry) so that took (counts) 8 days. Not bad!
