Default Pen Pals

Does anyone here have a "pen pal"? You know, where you actually write a letter to someone else regularly using snail mail instead of e-mail. I write regularly to a few friends and find it relaxing writing to an old friend.

Twas fun though.

It seems I've always had penpals. It started in elementary school. I'm lazy now and e-mail instead of actually writing them out. I sponsor two kids in Ghana that I need to write to. (puts that on my to-do list) I have been horrible about writing to them. It would be so much easier if they had e-mail.

wow Mom, kids in Ghana? now that just outdo's my community service project

i used to do PenPals but that is sooo Primary school when our teachers used to tell us to write letters to someone abroad where 1/2 of the class would never get replies.

at first i never did but i always wonder if it was my humour, lack of computence to spell or it just never got there

Yeah, I used to have a penpal when I was in primary school as well! It was some girl from Germany but after 1-2 years I got bored eventually and didn't write her anymore.
I suck!

I want one. But then I get this feeling that I will be the one who suddenly stop writing back blaming busy days

Someone who can kick my ass if I stop writing back would be perfect for my penpal
