Pen Pals 2007

[prettysocks]

It's that time again! Or if you're new, it's that time for the first time!

It's PenPal Time!

Okay! So here the scoop: If you wish to have a PenPal from TalkCamp.com for the summer season, and you agree to send them at least 2 pieces of mail or parcels thoroughout the summer, then I need to collect your info! This little program will set you up randomly with someone from TalkCamp. If you want to mail a friend, just ask them for their camp address!

So you've decided to jump on the PenPal wagon? Here's what you need to do now!

In a Private Message, send me (prettysocks):

Your real name:
Your camp name:
Your age:
Your gender:
The full address that mail should be sent to:
When you start camp, and when your camp is done:
Your favourite camp activity:
What are 3 interesting things about yourself that you think people should know?:
Are there any specifics you'd like to try to have for your PenPal? (same country of origin, same gender..):
Anything else you feel like telling me:

So! That's all! Just whip me over a quick message with that info and in a few months you'll find out who your PenPal is! If you don't know what camp you're working at yet, don't worry - just send it when you do know! Thanks!

Bri,

I'm not going to camp this summer, but I'd love to be penpals with Simon again if he's looking for a penpal.

Can I do this? if so, I'll PM you with all the info.

[prettysocks]

Hehe, Simon sends good mail.. He was my penpal06 too! Cute little british mail. hehe.

send me that PM!

Anyone else who still wants to take part, send me a PM now so i know please!

[prettysocks]

I'm figuring out the PenPals.. And it seems that we have an odd number! Would anyone like to have TWO PenPals?

Last chance to send me your info if you would like to participate!!

What is required of being a penpal?

[prettysocks]

Writing to your penpal during the summer. It doesn't matter how often, but you usually get about 2-3 letters in. You can send packages of fun things for them and their campers, or just letters filled with happy, exciting news! Hehe.. You get the address and name and stuff of your PenPal soon, so you can chat with them and get to know them, and discuss the PenPal plans with them before the summer!

[clarabelle1985]

[prettysocks]

alright, clarabelle gets 2 penpals! thank you!

[Angel_Jenny]

[prettysocks]

[Angel_Jenny]

[laurathistle]

When do we get to find out who we have been paired with? I am well excited!

[ArtisticEric]

If you end up with an odd number later, Tell me an I'll be happy to write to them.

[KiwiCRB]

Is it to late? I debated about it because last year it didn't completely work out but I'll give it another go!

[Melk]

I'll take two if you need someone to also.

[Pooka]

I wasn't a very faithful penpal last year (so sorry!), but I'll totally join up again this year if you've got an odd number or something. I love getting-- and sending-- mail.

[prettysocks]

There's been a few people who've said "I'll join if you need me" (basically)..

Could those of you who've said that either please SEND ME A PM with your info, or decide that you don't want to? I'm going to send everyone their PenPal's info soon, and I need to know!

[prettysocks]

BUMP FOR THE LAST TIME! There's still time to join!!! Send me your info before.. Let's sayyyyyy.. The magic deadline is April 21!

Send me a PM to ask questions if you're unsure, or need me to convince you to be a TalkCamp PenPal for the summer of 2007!

[Flukie]

I'm SO excited. :)

[Mouse...]

Me too! :)

[ArtisticEric]

Sorry about the vaguity.... i'll be too busy at camp this year.So its a no this year

[prettysocks]

*BUMP*

A few days left!! Man on man I'm pesky! I just don't want anyone asking me after I've sent them out! It's for your own good! Hehe!

[ocean]

sounds good

[laurathistle]

Oooh, I am getting excited to find out who I am going to get!

[laurathistle]

Thank you Prettysocks!

[prettysocks]

Alright! So I sent everyone their PenPal info via PM. If you didn't get yours, or there's a problem, just whip me back a PM and we'll get that sorted out.

runrachrunn: Simon will be sending you a PM with his info shortly!

If you've gotten your PM, and it seems A-OK (check the mailing address to make sure it has their name, street/p.o box, state/province, zip/postal code) - Please leave a message here, or reply to my PM.. Just so I know that you're still, ya know, using the site! I really want everyone's to work, so if you think there might be an issue, let me know and we'll try to work something out!

Good luck everyone and have a great summer!

[Gramma]

Check! Check! And check! Woo Hoo! Thanks Bri.

[prettysocks]

laurathistle - You seem to have a LOT of energy! I'm sure you're going to have a wicked summer! *karma*

[laurathistle]

Tee hee prettysocks, I don't think anyone has ever said that to me before; possibly because they couldn't catch me!

[Angel_Jenny]

Thanks Socks :D :D :D I like writing letters :D!

[campnerd99]

I can't wait for my first letter!
Thanks for taking the time to organize all of this prettysocks! =)

[runrachrunn]

SIMON! I can't wait to start writing you letters!

[prettysocks]

Does anyone want a second PenPal?

I recieved another request for a PenPal today.

Any takers?

[KiwiCRB]

Oh Prettysocks I think the Program Director at my camp wants a first PenPal! Her talkcamp name is crbtigger.

[prettysocks]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll send her a PM!

[prettysocks]

I have yet another late request for a PenPal.. Any one else who hasn't sent it in yet? Or someone who wants a second PenPal? Reply in this thread please.

[Possuumm]

i'll take a second one if there is no one else :)

[c3divers]

I'll take a penpal.

[prideeinpynk]

I didn't get a chance to request a penpal. If you need an extra one, just let me know! :D I'll be at my camp June17-Aug 12 if that matters.

[prettysocks]

Dates you will be at camp
Something interesting to spark conversation with your PenPal..

THANKS! I'll give you a few more days before I send them out for the VERY LAST TIME (Let's say, until Sunday). ANYONE else may send me information (newbies!?).. You guys are so lucky I'm nice!
