that is the drawback of all our technological innovations. but i have discovered if you make the effort to write letters to your loved ones and friends...they will start writing you back...because they realize how nice it is to get a real letter either delivered in person or via "snail mail."
grouchy is a word...and you let yourself be as grouchy as you want, Bean...and then i hope you feel a little bit better. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke |

I love writing letters - it's getting harder and harder to find good stationery now though. Have a lovely fountain pen just for letters. You'll have to ask CG if mine are any good though.

Gotta find yourself a nice board boy. We love to write!
I've always enjoyed writing love letters and such because I am a lot better at expressing myself in words written down than spoken. At least I think so. I like being able to compose my thoughts into a particular rhythm. I am much more eloquent with the written word. And I feel like, to say those kind of things, I want them to sound as good as possible because, well... generally because of who I want to say them to. There is a desire for that communication of emotion to be as perfect as I can manage. That's just me, though... ****************************************** Me in Rock: This Shirt Is Pants | Mr. Fusion Me in blog: izenmania |

I've only made one or maybe two love letters in my life so far. And one of them was more of a deep admiration letter to someone I knew in high school. They are, like Snazz said, very hard to make, even though I think I articulate far more effectively when I write than when I speak. I guess?
But yeah, Snazz -- I find that in anything I write of that kind of importance, the right words are essential. But sometimes ... sometimes written words just don't feel like they're enough. Then again, neither are vocal ones at times. But yeah: Boardie boys! And it's only in recent times that I realize love letters, and even blazons can be cool. ______________________________ Do not leave me with a bowl of anything for an extended period of time. |

I actually go the other route when writing love letters - it tends to be almost stream of consciousness. I don't bother stopping to think what I'm writing, and I don't dare go back to re-read what has been written (if I did, I'd likely never post the letters). I just feel that I put down my most true, inner feelings when I don't take the time to do it "right"...
I'm really curious to see what I wrote CG. I'll have to see if she still has the letters I sent her... On a side note - if anyone is ever looking for some nice stationery, take a look at Papyrus - their online selection is pretty bad, but they do have some nice stuff in their stores... **** Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty.

Wow. That's worth being bitter over. It's damn funny, though. The only love letter I've written, official "Love Letter" style, not "Valentine's Day Card" style, was for a class. It was a fictional love letter between Jean Rhys and Ford Madox Ford, and it was pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. Judging by my grade, I think my professor may have developed a crush on me as a result (it was one of only a handful of A+'s I've ever gotten, and the only one I definitively didn't earn). I've written some love emails, though. |

I like to send cards and letters to people who mean something to me. I probably even get annoying. I am always feeling like jotting a little note to say - "something made me think of you and how much you mean to me."
Are there many left?

that's really sweet! I'm a horrible letter-writer. I didn't mail out christmas cards this year, I don't think I ever sent out thank-yous from my wedding (I'll do it one day, I swear), and the only time I've ever kept up a written correspondence was when my friend was in basic training and tended to write a lot himself.

I can't speak for "guys", as a generality. I do. But I am, in many ways, kind of a sap. ****************************************** Me in Rock: This Shirt Is Pants | Mr. Fusion Me in blog: izenmania |

you mean, you killed him once and you want him revived so you can kill him again? that's some bitterness alright.

Am I the only one who's kind of curious to know which song it was? ------------------------------------------------- Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. |

DK BOP Member  |
I want to know the song as well.
Personally I don't write love letters because I'm better at saying the things out loud. I like writing but I think I can do a lot more with body language and my voice than I ever could with my less than perfect writing abilities. |

Dear Problems and Problem People,
I have realised that, as of this evening, I am a heartbeat away from walking away from all of you. This would not be the unmixed blessing that it sounds like, as I'd also have to leave behind things that I value greatly, but it now feels like a real possibility. There are other things in my life that I could be getting on with, so be warned. yours, me. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

Dear coworkerman:
I like talking to you. I really do. You're intelligent and open-minded. However, a discussion about politics ceases to be a discussion when you start lecturing me regarding your opinions and not really listening to mine anymore. I understand that you feel very strongly about this, and we actually agreed on a lot of things"”not that you were listening enough to register that"”but that was not a two-sided conversation we just had. Do better.
