Penpals?

Who thinks this is a silly idea? Who thinks this is a good idea?
I think its a good idea because, if they are in your area, you are connecting with people that are at least somewhat like minded. (You are afterall on teh Shroomery) If they aren't in your area, you're still communicating with someone likeminded, and that's .

Is there such a thing nowadays? I always remember hearing about Pen-pals when I was growing up but that was a time before the Internet had really kicked off. Surely, these days, people would just jump on a forum or chat room to speak to like minded individuals?

it's and all right idea, I've had a few when I was younger but it's much better when the people you're writing to are in another country with different customs.
also yes you failed at your first poll. no STaL you shouldn't be able to choose more then one option

I have several people that I regularly private message with on here, and have no idea about the names of said individuals or anything. Just like minded people who got to talking. It's cool IMO, makes the shroomery seem a little more personal to me.

I would be interested in exchanging hand-written letters with a pen-pal who speaks English (or is studying English). Mainly someone in Russia or Asia. Would be interesting for sure

. THIS, and, yes, I had pen pals like 40 years ago. When is the last time any one here wrote a letter to someone, put it in an envelope, and mailed it? . . .

I do it. I just know that a hand written letter means much more to people than an email they know you probably spent 5 minutes writing.

That does sound true. Only letter I have ever hand written/mailed was for v-day when I was away from my valentine...
I desire a penpal now

AHA! See! Penpals are kinda cool. I'm nearly 26 (In March) and I would like to write a letter to someone cool. Maybe you will be whereever that person is someday, and maybe you will get to meet the,. But if it weren't for those letters, you never would have had the opportunity to do so.

I'd love to be your pen pal. I think it's a great idea. Kids these days don't even know how to write a fucking letter anymore. I used to do it when I was a kid in school. I think it would be fun and interesting. PM me if you're serious.

it seems a bit archaic in the internet "videoage" but i think it would be cool to have a penpal in a different country that perhaps doesnt have access to the internet like we do. learning about other peoples walks of life can be very cool
