Anyone intrested in exchanging post cards? I like getting snail mail.

It brightens my day when I go and get my mail and there is something in there besides bills.

OK!

Whoooo I could get a postcard from America. Thats like miles and miles away.
Posted by Grim..., 17:23, 7th January 2003:
 
me2 me2!

I'll draw you my own postcard!
Posted by chandler, 17:24, 7th January 2003:
 
Well I'll make a postcard out of my own skin!

ahem
Posted by cal, 17:27, 7th January 2003:
 
i'm up for that
Posted by cal, 17:27, 7th January 2003:
 
(as long as by "postcard" you mean "naked pictures of desi")
Posted by November Eclectica, 18:37, 7th January 2003:
 
That could be arranged, but I don't think your girlfriend would like it very much. *evil grin*

Ok .. here is the deal email your adddresses and how they should be written, since I have never mailed anything out of the US before and I will send you my address.

Then the post card exchange will begin.

Actually Jeffica, thats a good idea, mate. I too like getting snail mail. Although Rolf Harris is yet to get back to me.
Posted by Sul, 19:29, 7th January 2003:
 
I have just found 6 first class stamps (dont ask). While on this new snailmail trip, I will send a lovely origami animal to the first 6 UK iamcal members to send me their address. Sorry for overseas customers but I have no money atm and only have 6 fc stamps.

Perhaps everyone can contribute in this manner; drawings, poems or even crap puns.
Posted by chandler, 19:39, 7th January 2003:
 
hey I could contribute photocopied pages from the "I Am Not An Animal" scripts (that Peter Baynham thing that I am working on)

Oh hang on, that might result in me getting fired. So maybe not.

(Note to bosses: if pages do go missing and you do find this webpage, then honestly it wasnt me.)

Dang ... I feel left out. *pout*
Posted by cal, 21:49, 7th January 2003:
 
i was thinking this would make a good site. i might just do it...
Posted by jeff, 22:49, 7th January 2003:
 
oooh.. have you ever heard of 1000journals? its like these really cool books that get sent round the world and you add to them and send them on.. we should do something like that... infact, back in the heady days of aol we started something similar but it never got to me :(
and whoever gets it can scan the last page and i'll put it on my website (i will have a website in the next couple of weeks, honest) and it'll be great and you can put whatever you want on it and YEAHHH.. wheee..

heh - another web community i'm involved in is trying to get a project called The BOX off the ground - basically you put something small in the box to stay in there, and something in there for the next person, and a photo of you and the box in there as well, then pass it on. the next person gets your little present, and then does the same. :o)


the big challenge is that we wanted to avoid mailing it, so it has to be done whenever one member happens to travel near another.
Posted by Sul, 02:05, 8th January 2003:
 
wow, reitsma. Thats great!
Posted by reitsma, 02:38, 8th January 2003:
 
yeah. pity it's still in 'developmental stages'. :o|

it was even going as far as talking about having a database of planned member movements, to see if we could plot a path for The BOX.
Posted by la, 03:39, 8th January 2003:
 
what's to stop people taking the stuff out that's supposed to stay in the box?
what if the box is held up in customs cause they think it's a bomb?
what if the box is taken hostage?
huh, what then??
Your plan is flawed!!

...and I'm just jealous cause I want a box. Nevermind about a present in the box, I just like boxes.
=)

Posted by jeff, 10:28, 8th January 2003:

It's a lovely site! Are you listed under November or your real name Miss Eclectica?
Posted by November Eclectica, 12:24, 9th January 2003:

Posted by Grim..., 13:32, 9th January 2003:
 
Oops - I'll do it tonight...
Posted by Leo, 21:21, 9th January 2003:
 
that site just looks like a good way to get a stalker.
Posted by cal, 22:53, 9th January 2003:
 
cool, i want one of those!
Posted by Redmaiden, 00:02, 10th January 2003:
 
I'm listed under Emma Dawes, wow Desirae is a cool name :)
I've always wanted a stalker. Yeh I cud get weird mail but you can look me up in the phonebook and send me anthrax anyways so putting my name up on a site doesn't make any difference.
I've had some lovely lil things from postcard x peeps, in fact today I got a photopostcard :)
Posted by cal, 00:06, 10th January 2003:

Posted by Redmaiden, 01:54, 10th January 2003:

Posted by Grim..., 08:45, 10th January 2003:
