get a pen-pal

In 4 days I have had 15 replies! I wasn’t expecting more than one or two. I’m going to write back to everybody, it’s polite, but I think I only want to continue writing to about half (the other half are marriage proposals, requests for girlfriends/money/perverted photos, and in one quite bizarre email, a Ghanaian gentleman ever so politely requested that I send him a bottle of ketchup. Weird.)

I just find it really amazing that there are so many like-minded men and women, from all over the world, wanting to make friends and share their thoughts and dreams and life with people they don’t know. It’s exciting! The crazies are just a risk you take I guess.

Well, I’ve just signed up to PenPal International and filled out a profile, now to see if anyone writes to me!

For awhile I’ve wanted to meet someone that DOESN’T live in my city (Tallahassee). So if there is anyone out there, around the age of 13 or 14, and that isn’t creepy, email me at chasechippy@rocketmail.com

From the German nurse! A very short letter, but it was a nice introduction. Now I must get off my butt and write back to her and poor Grimes, who is still waiting…Damn lists keeping me busy doing other things lol :)

I have always wanted a pen pal, ever since I was a little girl. I’m 16 now and live in Norway (Tromsø). If you would like to be my penpal, let me know. And If there is something else you would like to know about me, feel free to ask.

Have just received a message from a guy called Grimes of all things!!! who is living in a refugee camp in Ghana with his 8 year old daughter. He included his postal address in his message, and I actually feel sad for him having to live in such a place with a small child (but not in a ‘I’ll pay for you to migrate here’ kind of way :)) And I got a message back from the German lady, saying she was happy to hear from me and will write to me!! No news yet from the Nepalese guy though. I will consider this goal complete when I get a reply to a letter I have written, therefore having established a writing relationship. But I have yet to decide how many penpals I actually want, and I really am hoping for a European of the age bracket I specified…

Yay! I’ve just received two messages from penpal international that weren’t from sport loving Nigerian toyboys! One is from a gentleman in Nepal, the other is from a lady in Germany (who is also a nurse like me – double score!!!) OK, both are a couple of years younger than I asked, but I wrote back saying I’d like to write to them anyway. I just hope that they still want to correspond when they see that I specifically requested contact by snail mail not email.
