<div>hi guys..sorry to do it to you, but the old thread i had created last may when i still lived in ny resulted in several returned letters to some folks now that i live in virginia so i deleted it to stop new folks from mail my old address in error. <br/> <br/>i still want letters, and i still want to write all of you! :) here is more info about me and my address. add yours please! and write me!!! <br/> <br/>Born in NY, moved to NM at 9, back to NY at 21, and now live in Alexandria, VA. <br/> <br/>I went to college at 14. This explains part of the reason I am odd and do not always relate well with women my age. I had a pretty dysfunctional childhood. This explains more of the reason I am odd. <br/> <br/>Raised catholic, I was taught to worship God or risk hell. Fell away from the faith as a know it all college freshman and then I returned to the fold and gave my heart to Jesus in 94, this time worshipping out of gratitude and awe. <br/> <br/>I‘m in my late twenties, outgoing and talkative and enjoy typical girl things [shopping, makeovers, sappy romance, etc.]. <br/> <br/>I'm passionate about my faith and politics. I'm an ex liberal democrat who encountered reality, studied it, and became a conservative republican as a result. [attn socialists:good motivations mean nothing when your methods to improve the world fail time and time again!] <br/> <br/>Schooled in psychology [BA New Mexico State]; fascinated by law, philosophy, technology and neurobiology, I now work in my dream field [IT] as a Director of Information Systems on Capitol Hill. I came to the IT field by way of a violent attack from one of my mental health patients back in my clinical psych counselor days. At that moment I had a ephipany- find a career I love, am talented at, will allow me to help others make their lives better that DOES NOT require ativan or physical restraints. Hence my computer hobby became my career and I count myself blessed to wake up every morning excited about my work. <br/> <br/>I'm not a big drinker [can't stand the taste of any alcohol except Malibu and Midori] and I don’t smoke. <br/> <br/>I love to plan. Plan budgets, plan menus, plan goals, plan vacations. I excel at planning! Following up on my plans I'm not so great at. Procrastination, lack of self-restraint and disciple are all issues I struggle with. <br/> <br/>I have no kids but have a great dog [golden retriever]. This is not due to any child hate on my part. I love kids. I love spending time with kids and shopping for them and teaching them to read. I'm just not ready for my own kids yet, and my husband feels the same way. Someday this may change. <br/> <br/>I love to cook. I collect cookbooks from different regions all over the world. My little rule for myself is that I or someone close to me [friend/family] must actually travel to the relevant region in order to purchase a cookbook highlighting that region's cuisine. I've only cheated once - buying an Atlanta cookbook in the Atlanta airport, never having been anywhere else in the state. I rationalized it was close enough. <br/> <br/>so, if i interest you, write me. <br/> <br/>jenni parks <br/>5109 knickerbocker dr #4 <br/>alexandria, va 22310 <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goingpostal.tribe.net">Going Postal</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I made these 35 books, blank on the inside, I screen printed a rough fleshy colored rectangle on the cover. The theme is s k i n. I have been doing mail art for some time now. I am mailing these books to artist around the world, they elaborate on them and send them back to me, I am working on finding a gallery to show the completed works, but combinding them all into one reproducable book would be ideal. This is the first time I have mailed out books, I have done postcards before and I have made several artist books, so I decided to combind my two endeavors. If you would like to participate, please email me your address. <br/>-jasmine </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goingpostal.tribe.net">Going Postal</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I write a lot of letters. About two years ago I began making letters that are difficult to open. Some are difficult to open without damaging the letter inside (ex: sewn trhough repeatedly with a sewing machine), some are so elaborately and painstakingly packaged that they make the recipient hesitate before opening (ex: packaged in a crocheted envelope), and some difficult to reconstruct (ex: written on 40 unnumbered small pieces of paper folded into modular origami shapes). <br/> <br/>Does anyone else in this group have postal projects of this ilk? <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goingpostal.tribe.net">Going Postal</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I've always had the travel bug... but as a child wasn't really able to travel, so on the rare occassions that I received a postcard from a far-off land, I savored the experience. If it was a particularly beautiful postcard, or if it had particularly interesting postage, I kept it. <br/> <br/>Well, now I'm grown... but I still love postcards and postage. So I thought it would be nice to start a group of like-minded folks that could, on a regular basis, exchange postcards.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goingpostal.tribe.net">Going Postal</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Okay folks. <br/><p> <br/>I'm tired of waiting. <br/><p> <br/>Everyone who is interested in participating in the first official GOING POSTAL exchange needs to message me with their mailing address before FRIDAY (AUGUST 22nd). <br/><p> <br/>On SATURDAY (AUGUST 23rd), I will message everyone a URL to a PDF with the addresses listed, and instructions on how to proceed. <br/><p> <br/>Unless I have suggestions to the contrary, here's what I'm thinking: each person will be assigned to send a postcard to the next person on the list in alphabetical ascendancy, and _encouraged_ to send a card to as many others as possible. <br/><p> <br/>As people receive their cards, I'd like to encourage y'all to scan them and send me the scans and I'll put together a PDF booklet for the group. <br/><p> <br/>Then I hope everyone will post about their experience! <br/><p> <br/>PS... I need to make a shout-out to whomever sent me the lovely card with the photo of Vancouver (you didn't include your name)... it was a pleasure to receive!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goingpostal.tribe.net">Going Postal</a> - 4 replies </div>
