Pen Pals ^o^
Hi! This is my first time making a new topic on this forum! I was wondering if anyone has a pen pal? I only have one but I am looking to exchange more mails with other people I personally find the whole process of writing and waiting for a reply via snail mail very exciting! To me its like waiting for a package in the mail!
What are your views on snail mailing/having a pen pal?

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
I think it's a good idea
Honestly, I didn't like any social media (fb, twitter, etc) because... I don't know why~ (even recently I made tumblr account and still don't know what will I do with that.)
But, I do enjoy to exchange mail~ (mostly with my e-mail) it's really exciting, any secret, fact, story or anything will not leaked to anyone but the person I'd mailed (it's become different if your mail friend is annoying people who like spread another secret)

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
I agree with you!! ^O^ The most exciting part for me is to wait for there reply, for both email and snail mailing ^^ I mainly use fb for talking to my friends, but I really like how you can make friends and meet new people using snail mail, it just makes me happy >O<

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
waah, it's good to hear
waiting... it's also exciting and terrible part because sometimes I really want to get a reply as fast as possible :p
I know there's many website purpose to exchange mail, but I haven't join any of them. I still use only my e-mail though :3

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
I used to love doing the same thing ~ . Unfortunately, me and my snail-mail partner don't write much anymore (but we can see each other in real time).
I always thought it was pretty cool how you could take as long as you needed to make a response and think everything through. It's not like you're going to accidentally submit it and regret the fact that you didn't spell-check or something ^-^.

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
@kyuuichii haha I know what you mean! i only have one penpal but she replies really late :c Like 4 to 6 months if I am lucky! Emailing is super convenient and fast, but I like looking at the letters! :>
@Wisp Night I also love how you can add unexpected little gifts inside too! You can include tea bags, cosmetic samples, dried flowers etc and they wouldn't know till they received it
@Akuni I never threw a bottle at the sea before (they do it a lot in movies, its so tempting!) But I have written on a balloon and let it out in the air o_o I've always wondered what happens or where does it go after I let the balloon go I really want a penpal from Japan or Korea OTL I've joined this site and met some Japanese and Korean girls but haven't started snail mailing yet! UWU

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
@pandahjessie
hey~ I wish I had friends (and mail friends) from Japan too >_<; too bad I still don't get any. But, when I'm still Junior School student, I have one year younger Japanese friend in my school, sadly after I'd graduated I never keep on touch with her
She is the first one who told me about right stoke of hiragana and kanji character.
okay, back to topic, so far I have friends from Canada (who I've found on ffnet), Singapore (from online game friends), and Vietnam.

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
actually I'm not really clear what is pen-pal,and snailing email since I never have a pen-pal but always want to have a pen-pals even just one ..recently my friend got post-card for 'Hari Raya' from her pen-pal..hows nice ..
when I think about this,is it exchange e-mail can bring a virus? I read a definition about a virus before..it said its attach to email,so if we open an e-mail,the computer got infected if I not mistaken..Sorry if I'm wrong..I don't really know about ICT..
btw..I have ask my friend to change e-mail before but you know..all my friends did not open they e-mail ..just make an e-mail for register to Social media..and they also make a new one ..I could say one e-mail for one account..they said they not remember a password..uh..they really don't interested on e-mail right..
same here..I just sign up since there sometimes need me to sign up to search more such tumblr ..and use it if I want to communicate with my friendskyuuichii wrote:Honestly, I didn't like any social media (fb, twitter, etc)

@Leeyaさん
hee~ 'Hari Raya' you mean Idul Fitri? Because I'm celebrating it too
About e-mail, it's true if you got attached file which infected by virus, and open it, virus will be spreading on your PC. I already experienced it and become rage because it's attack word type document and html. All of my file become unreadable and I cannot access the file. Even the sender was my colleague friend, I hate her because her stupidity sent file without checking the PC she use (she sent the mail from Internet cafe and I guess the PC there already infected with virus and affect the file she went to sent me)
It's fun to exchange mail, maybe you should try it to >w<

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
I think they mean hand-writing letters then mailing them. So if you have a friend or someone you guys can exchange home addresses, and write letters to each other. And be "pen-pals" I haven't done it either tho But it sounds really fun!LeeYa wrote:@Kyuuichii

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
I've always liked the idea of Pen-Pal's but my mum was against it since it was essentially "giving a stranger your address". Where now that I'm older makes sense but I would like to do something like that again one day. I love using my stationary.

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
It would be cool to have pen-pals all over the world, and collecting cute or weird postcards !!
But all of my pen-pals ended up being unreliable: They'd forget to reply, or take a whole year to send 2 lines :/
It's like putting all your time and efforts for nothing...
Shall we try that among members of OH ?
(It would be weird since we're already talking here, right ?)

I don't think it would be to weird since they would be a bit more personalized and since most of us live in different areas of the world we would have some other interesting things to talk about outside of anime and otome.

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
Haha sometimes my hand writing is nice? And I can start in two weeks or when I know what my new address is. It's not set in stone yet where I'm moving to. Also I don't mind writing to more than one person since I do have a job and make money off art so =)

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
The podcast "The Heart," formerly Audio Smut, had an episode called "Love Letters." It encapsulates what I would like to think about snail mail, except for the part about licking the adhesive, which gives me mad shivers of horror.
About five years ago, I had the opportunity to have a pen pal with someone in Japan. I told my family about it and everything. However, I was too paranoid simply thinking about what to do and how to present myself that I did not even attempt the correspondence. The same thing happened when I was little and writing to my grandparents. Every pen mark I made looked so inferior to the young me, and when my friend moved, I could not get myself to finish my letter. I have found it much easier through email, partially because of my issues and I write blocks of words, obviously. I create several drafts, and a slip of the writing utensil would make me start over.
Alas, I would love to try it myself, but in my mind I think... uhh. How is physical mail sent again? I like mail because my friends from across the country can send me things like drawings for my birthday or stickers. Extras. But those have been sent TO me. I have never had to reciprocate.
Aside from that, one of my classmates' parents were pen pals, and that led to their marriage.

Re: Pen Pals ^o^
@Aiwethryne: You know, about the hand writing, I don't think your penpal would mind it, because when you get a letter from a someone you're already overjoyed (also because it's not a bill haha). I also have horrible handwriting, but I just send tones of postcards to people when I travel, with horrible drawings everywhere illustrating my journey (Really, it always look like a 5 year old's drawing). But as soon as they receive them, my friend send me a pic with the postcard and keep it for years.
What I want to say, your handwriting could become your signature xD Your friend will always be expecting your letters-with-bad-handwriting x)
Plus, you'll get used to a pen and may be you'll progress ?
