This weekend

Hey all, are you fired up as I am?xD I just feel my weekend will be productive, seeing I made to reply to two long letters on Friday before it ended and I still have two long days ahead of me and these letters in this direction to reply: Laurita, my Lithuanian pen pal, I had probably made her wait again, because I had no mood this week -_-. Laura from Italy. Hm...it's really difficult for me picking up her letter, but I must do thta. The truth is that whenever I see that letter written by computer Ii feel like my motivation flies away. I try to think of a way to not insult this person and ask her to write second letter by hand. Ah, dear pen pallers and writers, can you give any supports and ideas about this question? I would really appreciate that :(.
Also, Ofri and her first letter(yes, I know I'm failing at first letters, because I have to talk about myself at what I'm not good at all), Ayaka from Japan. I haven't heard from her for almost whole summer and until now and I guess I will follow her lead to talk about what have I been doing lately. I wish she could talk more about herself and make a conversation :/. Marta from Poland- I also was asked by her to help her learn Lithuanian. Here's when I go against my I-won't-ever-be-a-teacher thing :D. Tanja from Germany and her letter which scored the most sides and made my dream of 40 sided letter come closer. Actually, that's not a dream, because it's very possible, so it's a goal and I think that every serious pen pals has a one or two goals like this :).
Joanne from Singapore. her letter came by a surprise and I was half asleep when I stalked my mailbox through door(by the way, I'll use this picture I've made earlier, so it's with a different letter.)
  
So I picked out her letter and ran back in bed to snooze few minutes before I strated to read. Seriously, I always go out through my door in my pajamas and I hope neighbours aren't watching xD.
It was very sweet to find this friendship wristband she bought me in Nepal. So thta little thing travelled more than I ever did(because I din't at all, and I'm envious xD).
And finally letter from Rina, another Japanese. She wants to know about Lithuania, while I want to know about Japan and we make our letters normally long :). I start to feel more and more like snail mail ambassador. They should give me a reward or something for spreading news about Lithuania to world, sending our flags, sweets and etc. and even teaching the language. We, letter writers, are often doing such job, so why government doesn't care? I would be happy enough if Lithuani had more stuff for letters, I mean cute stationery. Now I'm struggling to make paper my own or use whatever I find and curse the age of email.
I think it's enough with the post, I have plans for tomorrow- I want to show the most beautiful envelopes I've ever got and also mention one new project I have joined, which should appeal to those who are into writing novels :). And now, sweet dreams, I'm trully happy to have 9 followers. Thank you!

I also have a pal who types the letters.. The first one was written by hand but after that.... :/ I don't want to be mean or hurt her feelings so I haven't said anything but I know how you feel.. Whenever I get a typed letter I don't really feel like replying no matter how great the pal is.. :/

Sharon, sure he is, it's from Kimi ni Todoke movie where I first saw him. That's Haruma Miura. he is very good actor and I've seen few dramas with him and every time he gets to a new character perfectly.
oh yeah, whenever I'm at home in the morning I can't help myself but do like this :D that's our hobby :D

Lily, from what you said I guess you always get such letters from that pen pal? I just couldn't continue on like this, we're doing snail mail after all ><''

Yup. :( Every letter is typed no matter what.. I know that typing is faster and that way you can check your spelling all the time and you can write countless letters a day but it's not fair to get handwritten replies.. That's why I've been thinking about starting to type to her as well.. So she'd see how impersonal typed letters are..
