i miss having a penpal. i haven't had one since i was in highschool but just today i realized how much fun it is to get a hand-addressed envelope in the mail. so, in an effort to remedy this and also connect with new and interesting people on new and interesting levels, i'm initiating the Penpal Project. it's very simple: send me mail. i may or may not write you back but since i've gotten better at keeping up with my correspondence, and since i would like to see this project continue for more than a turn or two, i'll most likely send you something back. send me anything -- letters, multimedia constructions, maps to burried treasure, whatever. (please, no anthrax spores.)

if you're interested, email me and once you've cleared my rigorous security check i'll send you my mailing address. just like that. zing!

(oh, by the way, i will, eventually, be posting all about my trip to Costa Rica. but first things first.)
