Playground Penpals!
edit: we've gone through our first match up of penpals, but it's never too late to sign up, so if you're still interested, go ahead.
Woo! So, now that I finally have a stable address, I figured it was time we set up a Playground Penpal Program, so that we can all exchange letters and stuff and get to know eachother through old timey snail-mail post.
So, if you're interested, say so here! You can either PM me or your address or just wait till you get a PenPal and PM it to them, but either way, don't worry about it until you get a PenPal. I'll post a list of people looking for penpals here, and you can select your own if you want, or I could just match up people depending on what they want as far as Penpals.
Obviously you'll need to able to write on a regular basis, and it's obviously a good idea to check with your parents first. You've also got to remember that as friendly as all most of our fellow playgrounders are, that's only most... so, you will want to be careful and might just want to stick to people you already know and trust. Just as a legally thing, I should state that I bare no responsibility for the content of letters or the actions of penpallers.
If you just want me to match you up with someone, fill out this quiz and PM it to me...
Spoiler
How old are you?
What age would you like your penpal to be, approximately?
Where do you live?
Where would you like your penpal to live?
Make sure you only PM me your address, not just post it randomly on the internets - Stranger Danger and all that.
So, enjoy! It's a good way of getting to know people, and setting up non-internet relationships in the eyes of your parents incase you want to attend meet-ups and think they'll eat you alive if you suggest meeting people from the dreaded internets. I mean, who knows? Letters could help! Especially if you feel like coming on my roadtrip!
And you can obviously have more than one PenPal if you want. I'll probably mail pretty much anyone... who looks reasonably attractive.
...*puts hand to ear* Oh no. Ohhhhh no!!

Re: Playground Penpals!
Luckily I can just meet you in real life...Something I'll have to get around to doing one of these days.
I'll be open to pen-pal-ing with someone, but I'll only be giving my address once someone's up for it :P

Re: Playground Penpals!
Heh, you're right, that part does seem a little odd *changes*
And we should totally do that. Give me some time to get my place up to scratch and we'll like, play games or something.Live, Laugh, Learn, Love,

Re: Playground Penpals!
This sounds interesting. I'm not sure my parents would really accept it as an excuse to come to meetups, since the only way I'd get a penpal is from the internet and they know I come here. Unless my penpal writes in German or something, I could make some BS about how the school set it up, but that's still a bit illogical for the whole meetup thing. They'd probably be like "Why are you spending money on mail, don't you have facebook?!"
Either way, I enjoy receiving mail, so I'll sign up for this.

Re: Playground Penpals!
For any excuse needing Playgrounder, or anyone who simply likes to recieve mail, postcards or other snail sent items, I'm all for it (*since I originally proposed my services as "convenient excuse snail mail penpal"). Any mail sent is answered. Address is available on PM.
I'm not the most regular letter writer, but I do get to it regularly enough. I can write in English, French, German and can give my best shot in Spanish or Italian. Also available in limited Chinese! Any other language can be arranged, mostly thanks to babelfish and the joys of discovering another tongue.
I'm curious to see what, if anything, comes out of this. Anyway, you're all welcome to send mail (and nuts!) to the scary squirrel.Last edited by Ashtar; 2009-05-04 at 03:15 AM. Reason: Removed address since it was getting mirrored by google...

But what I think is that, my parents would be very suspicious if I were to start penpalling you. Reaaally suspicious. And be like 'why aren't you just sending him/her a PM?''

Re: Playground Penpals!
Well, here I am sitting here in Australia. I had a penpal for a while...But it kind of dropped off. Still. My biggest drawback is that I Handwrite, instead of Print my letters. So, people can't read my 'old-timey' writing.

Re: Playground Penpals!
I think you know my address, Felixaar. I'll mail anyone, though my handwriting is horrible ^^; I'm slightly more eligible with a quil, though, so expect spidery writing!

Re: Playground Penpals!
Obviously. But as I'll be penpaling with many people, I'll make sure anyone who penpals with me is also penpalling with someone else. After all, we can be polypenpalorous about this, right?

I'll be sure to start all my letters with
"Can't talk now...Monkeys chasing me...Write later.
...Well, I made it. How are you?"

Re: Playground Penpals!
Hey, since I am already Pen Palling with Felix anyway, I may as well do it with others too, right?
On a sidenote - Felix, I have to apologize and say that I haven't sent the letter out yet. I was too distracted by Prom(I'm sure you understand that, right?) Letter should be out by the end of next week though.Thanks goes to Vampire Pumpkin for my awesome avatar!

Re: Playground Penpals!
Can I be a pain and request that people specifically state whether or not they want in? I've put Annie up but left DD and Joe off, let me know if I need to change those things.
And oh yeah. Quills are awesome. Though you cant chew on their ends like you can with a good ol' biro.Live, Laugh, Learn, Love,

Re: Playground Penpals!
I'd love to but I'm awful at sending things on time.
::looks at Mordokai's christmas present::
...I really need to get on sending that.

Re: Playground Penpals!
I totally own two quills because I'm damn awesome like that. I don't have much paper that's good for writing on it though...I need to buy some.

Hmm. How about if I came to your houses and didn't leave until you sent a new letter?

In the
CancerSunshine State. I can probably send anywhere in Australia. But, overseas requires Post Office action.
