The New Postcard Thread.
Shit - I forgot all about this... I'm going to have to get some postcards this weekend. I was all excited about it when I first saw it.
I've been working on some cards past few weeks. I should be sending them out soon.
I got a few old ones at the antique store. One has writing on it, so I guess I'm keeping that one, but other than that, I'm gonna go out for some more today.

Im getting you guys postacrds from Barcelona next weekend.
I need to do this. I got busy and spaced it.
Sorry, guys.
^ yeah. Me too.
Its all good, thats the nice thing about the postcard exchange, its relaxed. You can send them every month or not as often. Its almost always a surprise to get them. I try to send them whenever I go on vacation. I've been bad about it in the past year or so and no one ever got the ones I sent from Florida last year I don't think. I don't think anyone ever mentioned getting the ones from Vegas either. hmph. What about the ones from NOLA? I'm not even sure I mailed those...

I had to call my doctor's office today and the woman at the answering service (a black woman) asked me if my name was spelled Melandie.

I'm with you

my whole life people always try to call me Heather. Which sounds nothing like Amber. I meet at leas two or three people a year, still, that get the idea that my name is Heather, since I was a little girl.
I got Melody's postcard in the mail a couple of days ago. It was a penguin books one (Lady Chatterley's Love). It was so nice to get that surprise. It actually made a pretty shitty time a little less shitty. Especially because I found out that Melody wishes postcards could speak because she wants to swoon over my accent. That's always nice.
I haven't sent any yet. But I will, I will.
I have that problem with Natalie. How the heck someone can get Natalie from Madeline I will never know. But it happens often.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
I can see that before Heather and Amber.

I want to thank Melody for my post card too. I wanted to eat a pear so bad but there were no more pears in the house! 
its the thought that counts!

I didn't get an assignment, but I'm trying to work out a way of sending a verbal postcard, so Melody can get her swoon on.
They have greeting cards you can record on. Maybe you could do that?

haha i was thinking of that too chenoa. greeting cards are fucking expensive though. I can't imagine how much those are.
Very true. I lucked out and bought some stuff in advance when one of the Hallmark stores recently closed here.

Just put an extra U in every word, whether it should have a U in it or not.
I got my post card from Melody! I didn't get to take a walk with Andrew yet, but hopefully this weekend I will. :3
Just put an extra U in every word, whether it should have a U in it or not.
Is that what we do?
I know we cut off anythin' that's too long' ta say, 'cause we're lazy buggers, but I didn't know 'bout the "U" thing, mate.
Another thing we seem to do is shorten everyone's name (a lot of the time this is with last names), and in the event that the name can't be shortened, we just go a ahead and add an "O" or a "Y" to the end of it.
Bretto, Smithy, Matto (works both ways for me because the first initial of my last name coincides with the rule), Shorey, Lukey, Ambs (for amber), Jazzy (shortened from Jazmyn and then with an added "Y"--so advanced), and so on and so on.
This reminds me, I have an Australian professor this semester (for my science class) and she adds an "R" to every word that ends with an "A." It's a little annoying to hear her say "placenter" twelve times per class. Other than that her accent is enjoyable.
Yeah, we'll do that too.

I wasn't really making sense, I was thinking of all the U's we americans have omitted from words- colour, color, favourite, favorite, neighbour, neighbor etc.- I like the extra U and always want to add it in but I'd be sort of lame, made fun of by my american friends if I did I'm sure, plus I wouldn't remember to do it if I decided to anyhow.
Thiunking you could just audd a U iunto eveury wourd. 
I love the "U" in all those words. I think it looks much nicer on the page. Another thing I like is the way we don't replace "S" with "Z" in words like: realised, actualise, memorise, womanise, and so on.
Though it pisses me off that I get a little red squiggle under my words whenever I type it.
YOu can't change your settings to Australian english? Or UK english?
Someone should get a misspelled tattoo with a red squiggly under it.
Yeah, I probably can change my settings, but, I mean, who's that technologically advanced?
Valentime's are sent to a select few...I ran out of stamps. 
I'm new, and would like to get in on this. Let me know once I have proven myself worthy to participate.

post more,you might want to wait a year or so before we even give a crap about who you are. just a heads up, building relationships here is a lot tougher than it used to be. Stick around, stay true to yourself, and you may make some friends.
Oh and don't take everything so seriously or personal around here.
I take everything personal!
And Serious!
Everything? Try anything!
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Bite Me!
I've been abducted by aliens and they said you're next.
Penis!
Bite Me!
Feeling frisky?
Bite Me!
Feeling frisky?
A little
Oh, brother.
And Matt, you also need to be sure to swap your "er"-ending words to "re"-endings. Threatre. Spectre. Uh...
Masturbatre.
Simulacre?
This is why we can't have nice things.
I've been abducted by aliens and they said you're next.
Those silly little minions... up to it again are they?
I joke, but be sure, I will take a firm hand with them as soon as the mission is complete.

After I stopped crying and set down the razor blade, I reconsidered what you said and I will stick around hoping to make at least one friend. My skin is just that much thicker now from your comment.
Thanks Audreythriteen

I was actually being nice. Before cultists would just eat you alive or throw you in the deep end without floaties to see if you could swim with the sharks or not, and before that I heard the welcoming committee was even sweeter.
Consider acknowledgment as a good sign, for now.

I'm busy making postcards. I bought a whole bundle of great cardstock paper at 40% off, armed with that and some ribbon and a glue gun.
Oh, yay, I just saw this and it was so much fun when used to do it. I came across some just the other day and got all nostalgic. I remember when I first joined Teh Cult and Levi asked me to be in the postcard sending group and I got totally weirded out, like - "Should I give my home address to an interwebs stranger????" And it's when Levi was just a smallfry and...
I'll pm you.
