you've got mail!

so today i wrote two letters. i am quite proud of myself, especially given my propensity to not write letters to anyone. i rather enjoy receiving letters, but no one ever writes to me. in fact, a lot of the people i talk to say that they like getting mail, but they never bother with writing real letters anymore.

there's no doubt that writing a letter takes a lot of time. it takes me about an hour to write what i could type up in a matter of ten minutes. and the typed up version would be a lot more legible than the crazy scrawl that is my handwriting. however, i like to think that my writing out my thoughts on paper lends a certain credence to what i write, telling people that i think that writing to you is important enough for me to spend an hour of my time on.

am i just one of those old fogies who stubbornly clings to the delusion that the old ways of pen and paper are better?

if you have never received mail from me, you're probably not important enough to spend time on. or maybe i don't have your address. i think have four people's addresses.
