I had Pen pals in high school. This sounds like a cool idea.

I've been going back and forth on this...it's an awesome idea, but I don't know if I can be counted on to reply reliably.

But what the heck. I like sending and receiving "real" letters. I'm in!

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.

Well, I sent mine. Like I said, I don't know how good a pen pal I'll be, but I'll do my best. [Smile]

Ok - Just read everyone's emails.

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.

They'll be up by Wednesday 23rd.

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.

The emails are being sent!

I haven't included people's hatrack names because not all of you sent them to me. [Smile]

For the same reason, I won't be posting the pairs here.

Have fun everyone!

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

I like the nifty stamps that show up on letters from other parts of the world!

Imogen, I e-mailed another e-mail connecting the 'rack SN to the RL name! Hope that helps!

*feels silly for not having done so to begin with*

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

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!!

Desta - I've already sorted out everyone that emailed initially.

If someone else signs up, I'll let you know and make them your pen pal.

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

That's kinda how I am kojabu.

I had pen pals in grade school and loved it.

But now I have a hard time even keeping up with e-mail, and I hardly ever write FAMILY members that I need to write out of state.

so while I wish I could say "sign up me" I'm afraid I would disappoint someone terribly by not holding up my end. So I'd better not.

Wheee! I sent my pen pals their letter, and guess what . . . THEY BOTH WROTE BACK!

How exciting!

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.

I've been busy moping (Tony is in Antartica) but I will. This week. I promise!

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! [Wink]

And don't worry about the end-of-semester thingy, I'm in the same... uh... situation as you are. [Big Grin]

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. [Wink]

I love you guys.

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. [Big Grin]

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!
