I'm happy with any letter and the stationery doesn't have an influence on how much I like the person. It's all about how you click with someone indeed.<br />For letters, I like it when they respond to my questions & ask me new questions, because it's much easier to write back that way. For subjects, they can talk about anything, but it's nice if they talk about their personal life at least every now & then. With personal life I mean what they really care about, what's bothering them, what they're looking forward to, ... Not just what they have been doing or what they are up to.Sielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08435603144989763883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952238805231867868.post-67486495842445405672009-06-10T19:46:10.242-04:002009-06-10T19:46:10.242-04:00For me, I like a letter to feel personal.
While ...For me, I like a letter to feel personal. <br /><br />While I enjoy philosophical dreamy letters, I equally like ones of a daily nature. Penpals become friends to me, usually very good ones (to the extent that I refer to them as friends that I write, not penpals:)), so if I don't know how they live their days, how they see the world in the mundanely magical moments, then I feel like I'm really missing out on their lives. I feel the distance more. (I also think daily events tend to give insight and reflection on "deeper" issues, like the dreams, fears, opinions, etc you mentioned.) <br /><br />Anyway, I'm sorry for not posting sooner, but happy penpal day to you too. :)ananda.tashiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527478650000555854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952238805231867868.post-8181195941614907372009-06-06T11:04:09.775-04:002009-06-06T11:04:09.775-04:00Hi, lovely shop!

Just read your interview on The House of Mouse's blog.<br />I don't handwrite many letters these days but I love the fact that they take longer and will be more reflective than your average e-mail. Love to receive them, that's for sure!Paperfectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666758994033440336noreply@blogger.com
