Lol, looks like you have a lot of ppl already. Pen-pals... oh... memories. Old memories. We used to have "pen-pals" back in elementary school for the English class. We started by 3rd grade (8 years old). The "pen-pals" where nothing more than classmates
. It was an excuse for us to write letters in English, our firsts attempts to write something in a 2nd language. The teacher assigned you a person to write a letter to, with the others not knowing who was writing to them. You had to write in the letter about you, what you liked doing, etc. And after writing several letters, the person receiving them had to guess who was the one writing. It was all random, not A <-> B, for example, if A wrote to B, B could wrote to C and so on. It was kinda fun I think, I don't remember much from back then. I never heard the word "pen-pal" ever again till today
I like the idea, writing "real" letters, by "common" mail. Lol, I imagine the love letter type... with cutesy handwriting, adorned with flowers and perfume, inside a light pink envelope sealed with those old seals letters used to be closed with. Regular letters have a "feel", more "love"... meh, I think I saw too many love stories and I'm imaging to much xD. But indeed a handwriting has a closer feeling. Ofc, it's more unconvenient... takes its time to arrive, more if you're sitting in, literally, the other end of the world. If you like handwriting you can just scan a piece of paper, lol.
But I'd like to write letters. I don't have many friends here, the ppl that I care the most (and cared for me) are usually from the series of tubes and across the pond, msn and email being the only forms of contact. Ppl here tend to be crappy, I almost never had a strong relation with anyone. Maybe I don't help by being weird myself (when you like crossdressing and Jap things you don't give the best of impressions). I'd love to make more friends, hehe. I don't have many interesting things to write about though, I usually end up writing non-sense like this and bore everyone xD
Well, if someone wants to write with me, mail, email or smoke signals (?)... here I am. Now that I think about it, it would be great to write in Japanese, a proper Jap letter (with Jap envelope, lol), but my level still leaves much to be desired (I can barely write anything). Btw, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm kinda girly and I love Jap things -language, music, culture, movies, 茶道 (sadou), and about anything～
