I've had this thing lately about wanting a pen pal, someone to write to on paper instead of writing to myself all the time. I guess that this blog is like having a pen pal to some extent, except for the fact that I often find that the way I write or speak varies somewhat based on who I am speaking to. I would really like to see if I can speak to someone else as honestly as I do when I speak to myself. It would also be interesting to see what other people say. And with paper, you can doodle in the margins. There's something about paper.
