I would feel sorry for the person getting letters from me. My handwriting is so horrible even I can't read it sometimes. PM-ing or email would be a good idea though.
It have never hurt to get new friends right? *evil laugh*

Ooh, I know the feeling. My friends use to joke that the only reason I got high marks in English was because our teacher couldn't read my itty-bitty cursive. (My signature is the bomb though :p )

I'd absolutely be up for doing this. All you Escapists seem like cool folks, I see no downside to giving having a pen-pal a bash. (Besides, I was in the half of the class in primary school that didn't have penpals, it's kind of something everyone should do, is it not? Looking back my school's method of selection was brutal.) Where do I sign?

Captcha: no-brainer. I'd call that an omen.

I'd love to have some more friends on here.

It may just be from left over paranoa propaganda from elementry school, but I do have the feeling like this could get alittle pedophilia-y fast.

EDIT:
I'd almost prefer messaging through facebook, but I am on here more than the ol' FB.

We should send each other messages via carrier pigeons. That would be awesome.
but then our enemies would just hunt them with hawks and read our heart felt messages to each other.

anyway I wouldnt mind the idea. I once google mapped a random google location and sent a letter to the person living there just for the shits and giggles and made a meaningful friendship out of it so this is probably a way less creepy way of recapturing that.

Read some of our posts following this statement. I don't think any hawks are going to be taking out our carrier pigeons... >:)

@Lucem712: BTW, about your logo if I you don't mind a slight suggestion, I'd suggest rotating the words slightly to the left so that the Escapist 'e' isn't bisecting the word 'escapist.' Just a thought.


What'cha think about this?

Let me handle this before it spirals out of control.

I lied - I'll let them handle it.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking about that! :D

OT: I still need to get into real mail. Probably won't interest me as I keep my personal email for business and family only but it is a cool idea. :)

This "stop the pigeon" rhythm has eluded me since I was 11. I couldn't figuire out what it was or where I'd heard it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OT: Too lazy to do join and I don't find myself too interesting anyway but good idea.

At this current state, many have decided that PM would be the best way and then move onto E-mail/IM (if both parties want) and even snail-mail if both parties are comfortable and willing. :)

I'm not sure if we have any in the group but sure, as long as both of you were okay with it.

Ha! I already have a pen pal. I taped paperclips to him for arms, and made him a little smiley face out of pipe cleaners.

. . . He is my only friend.

Good good. I wasn't entirely sure I'd clearly expressed what I had in mind, but it looks like you understood.
