ROAR!

Let me begin by saying that I love those dumb stuffed animal mounted on plaques as if they were real stuffed animals. Everytime I see them online or in stores I get a not so secret thrill. They're super cute in a creepy retarded sort of way. I love them, how could you not?

Let me follow those comments by explaining that due to my last day of school excitement I've spent all day going ROAR! into the phone. Those that have long term known me know that I'm quite prone to making animal noises, especially roars. If some may even recall my old voicemail which was a series of roaring...

All of that prelude simply to post this:

My newest PostCrossingCard.

 

How perfectly me is that?! I got it and I felt like it really was a small world after all. You know, to be a total cheese ball.

Adam says to this in a gruff old man voice, "Yea? Is this what they do in Germany? Hunting down defenseless stuff animals!?" And then he started to cry cause I don't think he's cool...

It's from a nice girl name Jessica from Germany. She tells me that she lives in a town close to the border of the Netherlands. She is currently working on getting her diploma in "Case Management."

She also loves to dance and read (which I say I enjoy in my profile).

Yay to postcard!!!!!!

I also recieved my 8 rolls of film of a questionable ISO from ebay in the mail today. WHAT A GOOD DAY TO BE ME!

Cross me baby

I'm restarting my PostCrossing.

I'm ecstatic about it! I'll make my blog my home base. exciiiiited!

From when I last did this (before I moved back home) I had 16 postcards. It was hard for me to pick a few as favorites because when I went back to look at them, they all had different quirks that I loved. Some for the message they wrote to me, others the picture on the backs, and still others for their really awesome stamps.

Here's a select few:

 

This had a message I particularly liked: I envisioned her and her husband walking along the river Elbe, hand in hand, going to the movies, and watching the ships go by.Picturesque and wonderful. Also to note: the stamps are what looks to be a tree in the snow and a city/town street at dusk.

This is one of the first that I received. I like how the picture/moment captured in this card is "historical." Love it. And note the funny cartoon stamp.

Not only is this one from Cambodia (the most "exotic" place I've received from so far), but there is an elephant for a stamp. A beautiful picture, a fun little tidbit about this person's reading circle they lead. 

This one is by far the most impressive one I've received. That library is utterly stunning and I'm absolutely in awe of it. Not only that but this girl's writing is immaculate. And the placement of the snowflake sticker is 10 points all around. She seems like a very sweet girl.

When I received these it was last December/January so almost all of them talk about the snow or the cold and wish me better weather in sunshine california. 

See how fun it is? I'm so excited to pick it back up again. I'm sending 5 postcards today and so, pretty soon, I'll start receiving them again too!!
