I just received a letter!

From a friend, actually written in their hand! Emails schmeemails, this is so much better. I feel like a teenager again! :D

4. Upstate NY

She's a DUer. We just decided to try letters instead of PMs and emails, because it's so much nicer.

5. Depends on the person.

I have a best friend who is a DUer and we usually AIM. I tried to talk on the phone with him and it was a disaster. I was just so nervous and I could hardly say anything. We both agreed to get back on AIM as soon as possible. He has a lovely voice, but I communicate better with him on AIM.

IMHO, snail mail is too slow. I've tried it, but it doesn't work for me. To each his or her own.

6. Yes, it is slow.

Especially when you are separated by the Atlantic ocean.

9. Cool

Sorry I don't have perfect handwriting like you. I'm going to start making up stories so I have something interesting to write about. Ha

11. I just like hearing about you

What you are doing, what you are thinking, what you are feeling. What you think is uninteresting is still interesting to me, because it's about you.

Thank you for the letter. It made my day begin perfectly.

:hug:

14. Very cool

I love writing letters - I'm one of the only people I know who sends the darn things. I have to type them though - hands don't work well and nobody would be able to read the thing!
