Recapturing the art and wonder of creating letters!
Pen Pal Assignments - Virtual Version!
We're going to have a pen-pal assignment in which you find or create a postcard, write the 'back' of the postcard (this could be hand written or typed) and then upload both of those things onto /wentworth!
Because we're doing this online, there doesn't need to be any personal information shared, except for the username of the person you are assigned to for this exchange!
Whoever you are partnered with, you will exchange a postcard with! So you will each write one for each other. Be sure to tag your partner when you upload their card!
Here goes!
@maiden is partnered with @iaddedarainbow
@sperrywink is partnered with @StayFray
@Eilis doesn't have a partner yet... somebody volunteer if you like! :)
Questions? Ask in the comments!
Deadline? About a month or so... we're flexible :)

Thanks for organizing, Eilis! Looks like a fun time!
I'm in! Anyone need a partner?
@StayFray, you around? Have any interests you would like to share? :-)
I like music (a variety of kinds, but if it is fast and upbeat, I'll most likely like it), kitty cats, writing, Powell's Used Bookstore in Portland, OR (Where I no longer live, unfortunately), math, and coca-cola. :-D
ETA: Forgot to say I am out of town for another week and a half, so no postcard from me before then.
I'm here! Let's see, I like nature, art, sci-fi, coffee, coffee, coffee, chocolate, cartoons, stargazing, hiking, horror flicks, I also love postcards!
Excellent!! And I realized I didn't give much postcard-useful info maybe? So feel free to ask follow-up questions!
And as mentioned, I won't be posting your postcard until mid-September at the earliest. Just out of town for a bit still.
Very excited! Thanks for your list of interests!
Super fun! @iaddedarainbow tell me some things you love?
I was going to ask you the same thing! 😄
Here are five things I love (in random order):
Awesome! Okay here are 5 things I love!
Indie comics. Pop surrealism. My Cats. Avocados and Horror Novels.
Fun Fact: I also enjoy Dogs! And I write a bit too!
I didn't list cats on mine because my love for my stinky feline children transcends obnoxiousness, haha. I like your list a lot! 😄 That's a lot of fun stuff.
Okay go: write on a piece of paper and fold it into origami; bake it into a chocolate chip pecan cookie in the shape of Jackson Polluck, and use it to play fetch with a dog!
omg i am obsessed with kitties too! <3
Caaaaats ❤ I am always the one trying to pet stray cats and making my friends worry about rabies, haha
Ha! I got the rabies vaccine a while back so now I have an answer when my mom freaks out lol.
(Was going into vet tech school but didn't end up going)
Caaaaatssss
Aww, why not, if you don't mind my asking?
I shadowed for about 8 hours and was concerned with my ability to keep my emotions out of the situations I saw. I don't know why but I got particularly slammed with some bad stuff. It's not the euthanasia that bugs me, though that is awful - that's okay if it is helping the animal. What bothered me was the human cruelty I saw, the people putting down animals who could have been helped, and - did I mention cruelty? Absolute, careless cruelty? I couldn't keep myself (I am very impulsive) from desiring to be angry with them, to ask them why the hell they thought what they had done was okay. But you have to remain professional.
I told myself I would take a break and reconsider, but I am not absolutely unable to work in the veterinary field - I had a large medical event recently that changed everything and I'm not allowed to get bitten or scratched by animals in one lymph-node-less arm :)
So maybe it was for the best!
I still adore helping animals in other ways.
ps omg adorable gif!!!
I feel you. ): There are some things in the world that we're just not equipped to handle.
And you're right, maybe it was for the best! There are plenty of ways to help animals without breaking your own heart. ❤
Sometimes the giphy gods provide
I'd like to be part of this :)
Sure! I think I or perhaps @maiden could be your partner!
