It’s Valentine’s Day and I don’t really celebrate it because I don’t like it when people tell me when to enjoy chocolate but my sister emailed me a stack of love letters our grandfather sent our grandmother to convince her to marry him and they were so strangely lovely that it reminded me how wonderful letters can be.
They were written mostly in English because their parents only spoke Czech and so they couldn’t snoop on the intercepted letters, but my grandmother’s sisters would definitely have been snooping so my grandfather would hide little notes like this one he apparently hid under the stamp.

The stamp smeared it a bit but I think it says “sending you lots of kisses and Marlon Brando.” I might wrong about that last part.
It also has a series of dots and dashes hidden inside the letters and I can only assume it was some sort of secret code they used, or that possibly they were teenage farmer spies who were busy passing secrets while working in the cotton fields of rural Texas.
Regardless, it reminded me that a few years ago we did a thing here where if you wanted a kind note from a stranger in this community you could just leave your address in the comments and maybe get or give a little unexpected magic to someone else. I am still getting cards from that and they always make me smile and I know there are people who today have made lasting friendships through such a small but fun exchange.
So if you’d like to maybe get a note from a sweet stranger to remind you that there are people in the world who care just leave your address in the comments. You can use your first name, or an initial or a secret made-up name and you can use your address or a po box or your brother’s house or whatever feels safe for you. And if you want to send a card to a friend you haven’t met yet you can pick one (or several) below. I’m going to be sending some postcards myself because I just got a dozen and they are amazing.
So for example my comment would say, “Feel free to write me a note. I like reading, true crime, and cats. Also, David Tennant was totally the best Doctor Who and I’m willing to die on that hill. I’m:
Executive Princess Jenny / 14546 Brook Hollow Blvd. #400 / San Antonio TX, 78232″
And no matter where you are in the world today, please consider this a note to tell you how much I’m glad that you’re here. Yes, you. You are amazing, friend.
I’ve always hated Valentine’s Day, mostly because it’s my Birthday. When I’m single all my friends are out with their boyfriends/spouses. When I was married, my ex used it as an excuse to combine the 2 events. And now that I’m single again, even more of my friends are married/partnered up.
Lame sauce all around.

David Tennant was absolutely the best Dr. Who. I will stand on that hill with you ’til the bitter end.
How dare everyone else hijack your day. There should be an organization for things like this, include the people who were born on Christmas and 9/11, etc. (Happy birthday!)
Somewhat obvious personal interest – am I reading that correctly as Rowena? Or is it Powena?
Valentines Day makes me sad. Mostly because it’s become so commercial and not really about just being with someone you love anymore.
But making friends makes me happy 😀

Michelle, this one’s for you and all the other singles out there. My son’s talented college friend/roommate (a talented violinist and songwriter/lyricist) put this together.

Today marks 3 months since the love of my life passed away afteer 30 wonderful years together. Missing him and crying is about all I can manage. But I will send out spoons to everyone else who is hurting….
I’ve never been fond of Valentine’s Day. I tell my husband all the time that flowers or chocolate or any kind of gift on any day but a national holiday means a whole lot more to me because it takes more thought and effort. He bought me a box of gallon size ziplock bags once, and I was tickled pink! (I use them for cross stitch storage)
I love the idea of sending notes or cards to people! The mail is always full of junk. I’d like to be excited to check the mail.
Feel free to write me a note. I like reading (mostly mystery, thriller, and true crime), crocheting, and cross stitching. I’m a Whovian and a Potterhead.

We wanted to get married on Valentine’s Day but it fell on Thursday that year and some of our friends wouldn’t have been able to attend. So we got married on the following Saturday, the 16th. Turned out to be the best thing we could have done, because restaurants are PACKED on the 14th but on the 16th we can walk right in without a wait. So just remember, sometimes things you think are disappointments can end up bringing you one good day for the rest of your life (we celebrate 42 years of marriage on Wednesday).
Way to steal my whole thing there, Jenny. Now I have to come up with a whole other set of things about me! Alright, let’s see. I’m a genx artist and photographer.

I wrote a lot of my friends hand written letters on paper I’d held on to since high school that my dad gave me during lockdown, so this idea is amazing to me.
I have four kids and four cats and cross stitch like, a lot. So much it’s probably a real issue at this point.

I’ve pretty much had it with classics since I took a bachelor’s and masters in Lit back when rocks were soft. I am owned by 2 cats: Spike and Willow (yes, there’s a theme there). Willow is only 6 months old and rules our lives at the moment. I live where it’s gorgeous in the summer but about 7 months of the year it’s frozen tundra. There are a lot of cows and chickens.

This sounds amazing! I love to read. Anything in print. I knit. I cross stitch. I grow roses. I cook. I use more periods than Hemmingway. David Tennant is the only Who I watched. (Although I have to confess to being a huge Torchwood nerd and always wished John Barrowman was a better actor.) I am also a collector of postcards. Of the mailed variety. I love the journey a small, lone card takes on its own, with no envelope for protection or privacy.
I’d love a note, and will do my best to reply.

I’ve grown up in a home of whovians and currently live with my finace and sister and pup Penelope and kitty Diamond. I am an artist, teacher, gardner, adventurer and explorer. Continuing to learn about myself, the earth and others and trying to figure out how to care for them all.
I love sunflowers, sunrises and sunsets. I Will only eat a tomato grown in local dirt, and I will eat them like an apple with a little salt. Also pretty sure I was named after a Dr. Who character-Ramona.
I am asking for letters for me and also for my only little sis- Loralei, is in a stuck place. Anxiety and depression have been with her since we were teens and it has come around intensely recently. – she is the biggest animal lover, (worked at a vet clinic), loves Dr. Who, weird things and fantasy.
I have found comfort in this community and I am needing encouragement and support for both of us.. TIA

This is such a fun idea!! I’ve never seen Doctor Who, but given how much I enjoy watching David Tennant on The Graham Norton Show, I guess I need to start my Doctor Who odyssey… I’m studying to be an archivist (aka, keeper of old stuff), and I love reading, cookies, and tea (separately and together).
I’m excited to start sending notes & I’d love to get one, too, if anyone is inclined:

I’ve been having an extraordinarily rough time of it as of late – mood disorders combining with grief and existential crises in the form of law school acceptances/rejections/waitlists (I am very old/non-traditional for an applicant so time is an issue as well). I would normally never admit ANY of that to a good friend, much less strangers on the internet so… not sure what is happening here!
I love books, bourbon, and (English) bulldogs the most of all – I often read several books at a time and have a bulldog on top of me as I write this. Douglas Adams, whom I adore, used to write for Dr. Who before he was able to make the Hitchhiker’s series and … that’s the only real opinion I have on Dr. Who or any adjacent shows/books in the genre. I follow politics like it’s a sport, will die on almost ANY hill, including those I don’t have an actual opinion about (because informed debate is so much fun), and believe Shoebill Storks are the most magnificent creatures that grace this planet. I have two favorite books. One is The Secret History, by Donna Tartt. I’m using a character from the other as my name below. 🙂 Any and all good cheer, kindness, encouragement, New Yorker cartoons, et cetera would be so greatly appreciated. I will respond in kind, though I might be a little slower than normal (apologies in advance if so – stupid brain).

Oh this sounds fun! I need a fun project right now. Distraction from a sad time of year. Here on the wet coast it gets so grey and dreary. I’m a super crafty, super sensitive person who wishes they had a proper garden – but I. The mean time I plant my dye plants on my deck and knit and see when energy allows outside of taking care of husband, teens and pets.

Ok, Matt Smith was my first Doctor so he is in prime position, but David Tennant and Catherine Tate stole my heart with “The Runaway Bride.”
Due to a Covid inspired job change and a nasty housing market, I live 6 hours away from my husband in a tiny studio apartment with a view. On the plus side, I’m an introvert and have my cat, Amelia, books, crafting and cooking for company. Plus, I do Postcrossing to get more mail so this idea is right up my alley.
I’m a firm believer that Jenny can walk on water. I just wanted to say that.

Hello! I am 36 years old, and absolutely adore snail mail! I remember when I was little, sitting in the front room of my mothers home waiting for the mail(wo)man to come. My husband makes fun of me because I still run right out the door as soon as the mail(wo)man arrives, even though it’s rarely anything good 🙂
I love reading (Jenny is a favorite obviously, but I also enjoy Carol Goodman, and Karen White), animals (I have three dogs, a bearded dragon, and love hippos!), history (revolutionary war period, especially), fun socks, and true crime.

I’m ethnically Hmong. In my culture, to court a partner someone initiates a ball tossing game. In this game, each person stands roughly 10-ft apart singing flat out of tune lyrics of their undying love.
The best part is the ball itself is overly decorated sewn tightly sequined fabric so you can’t miss it when it’s thrown at you.
I personally have never enjoyed this activity probably because I’m prone to becoming competitive. I can already see myself designing the most hardcore ball made from a retired Wimbledon tennis ball wrapped in the finest silk fabric from a knockoff Hermes scarf. The trouble would be to find a mate willing to succumb to my expert level tossing skills.
Oh and I missed the part about if someone drops the ball or screws up… I don’t know what happens but, I just assume the person whom dropped the ball loses the game and gives up the opportunity of everlasting love.

I’ll die on that hill with the rest of the David Tennant lovers! Though, to be honest, I haven’t seen many episodes since 10 because I don’t have any of the services needed to watch Dr. Who. I love pandas, VWs, Dr. Who, stickers, and Harry Potter, not necessarily in that order, and definitely not more than The Princess Bride. We have cats and two kids, we work on our own cars, I love gardening in spite of nothing wanting to grow here on our mountain in the woods, and I sew, make cakes, do crafts, and make things out of junk metal. I’ve been fighting depression for too long to remember, but I keep going for Jenny and all of you out there who are fighting too. I’ll try to send out some cards, though I’ve been super low on spoons (my Christmas tree is still up). I even have some international stamps, so I might start there.
Anyway… here’s my info if you’d like to send something…

I would greatly appreciate any cards or postcards to brighten up my days!

i am clairvoyant and have the ability to see unwanted ghosts. they appear mostly when i feel relaxed. it scares the bejeezus out of me. i often wonder, “why would do they think an apparition is appropriate when I have taken the time to clear my head?”
anyone with anxiety understands practicing safe spaces takes a tremendous amount of mental effort except ghosts. spirits behave like men without beards. like, you don’t get to just show up with your butt faced chin and demand attention.

I would love to get a note or postcard from another person who probably read about this, and then thought it was a great idea ….but suddenly was worried that they wouldn’t follow through… or that they’d write something weird…or use ellipses in a way someone picked on… and so they left the page…. and then came back…because they kept thinking about this…and thought that they do want to have new experiences with new people that could maybe be friends or at least become a cool story someday. Although it is less entertaining if the entire story is, “Once I got this postcard from a person. That’s pretty much it.”
Hmmm…
I’m wordy and grow hydroponic veggies and flowers inside my house. I’m a weird hermit and dedicated caregiver. I love science fiction, gaming, and learning new things (even if not that well). Right now I’m starting to learn Japanese.
I feel conflicted about V-day. I died that day, but I also came back to life so that is a win…right?

I am a professional introvert, somewhat awkward animal lover with a creative streak, but no real talent. I play the ukulele and love to walk. I would be happy to live in a bookstore. My favorite places are quiet and often in the woods.
I recently learned that I have a brain tumor and am having surgery @ Mayo later this week. I could definitely use some supportive messages. I’m a shy introvert plagued by anxiety disorders and a mood disorder. I love art, music, tv/movies and my amazing husband and daughter. I love my 3 pets; Bubble Fett (betta fish), Moshi-Moshi (cat) and Charles Barkowski (dog). (I obviously got my pet-naming chops from Jenny.) Anyway, it makes me said that snail mail is a dying art form, so I’d love to participate and hope to send postcards as I’m recovering.

I am 56 years old and for the first time I can honestly and publicly say that I also, like many of you, dislike Valentines day. It brings back so many bad memories of being in elementary school and at that time kids exchanged Valentines– it was a really big deal in our small country school — and being the fat, hard of hearing, adopted and introverted little girl I was; it was an opportunity for other kids to leave me out of the Valentine exchange — I still remember what it felt like to be excluded, the humiliation and tears when I got home — and the worst was having a Mother who
would use this as an opportunity to tell me that if I lost weight the kids would like me better, and it was my fault I didn’t have any friends. Last week at work, our manager got boxes and crafty things for us to decorate boxes — Mentally, I totally blew doing a box off — having absolutely no intention in opening that can of emotional worms. When I got to work today, I found on my desk, a box that someone decorated for me — filled with cards, candy and other fun things. I sat there and as I looked at the box I realized that, people see me and not my fat — and that I am okay, accepted and respected. Someday, I will work up enough courage to share with my colleagues how that simple heart shaped box healed a broken part of my heart. A. McKinney, 134 Whitetail Lane, Tyrone, PA, 16686
This list has gotten quite long but I really want to participate so I’m going to make it longer! I’m a divorced mom of (currently) one dog, a Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix and 2 parrots, a Military Macaw and an African Grey. No human kids. I love reading almost anything, Schitt’s Creek, succulents, and all animals (I refuse to eat them or wear them). I’m excited to start a letter and card writing project. Yay for real letters in the mailbox!!

Hi 👋 I want all the strange and broken pen pals!!!! This is why you should write me:
I will always write back.
I love animals, so we can chat about all the fur on our clothes.
You can tell me all your problems, never any judgements on my end.
We can chat about books, movies and shows or just swap recipes.
I can’t wait to be snail mail friends!!

Back in the early 90s, I was a young army soldier stationed in Italy and I used to write pages and pages of letters to people. It’s so much more satisfying than email.
Now I’m a 51 year old woman with really bad knees who still somehow performs burlesque. I knit stuff, mostly socks and hats. I sew stuff, mostly burlesque underwear and pockets on sweatshirts that should have had pockets already in a perfect world. I read, mostly everything. I live alone and I mostly like it that way.
But I like buying whatever interesting stamps the post office has available, so I’m looking forward to sending notes to some of the people listed above me.
I’d be delighted to receive mail at:

Not me so much but I’ve got a 12 year old non-binary child who was diagnosed about a year ago with an autoimmune disease and already deals with anxiety and depression. This isn’t aided by the fact that we live in a small rural state and they currently attend a small private school (I teach there also) where the new superintendent has been on a super conservative kick for a bit which has just emboldened the worst impulses of some. Kiddo could use some sunshine if anyone has some to spare, last time we did this was before they were diagnosed with the autoimmune stuff but several lovely people sent things to brighten their day which was greatly appreciated. They like corgis and succulent plants and stickers (because stickers are basically a currency in middle school) and standing up for LGBTQIA+ causes and their three legged cat.

Yes David Tennant was the best.

I’ve been single now for almost a decade (sheesh). I’m a full time policy wonk and part time writer who hasn’t written since the pandemic and pretty much dropped out of the writing community, because I hide when wounded, so I’m feeling a little isolated. I do a poetry postcard exchange every August, but there’s not a personal connection with that, so I love the idea of connecting with others this way. I’ve got 3 teens and 2 cats and cohabitate with my mom. I knit, bake bread, and embroider and have never seen Dr Who. Also, I may be distantly related to Jenny because my great grandma was a Dusek from central Texas…

For my sister. Who is struggling 1000% with life right now. I’m helping her find a doctor this week to get back on her anti-psychotics. And helping with her kids at the same time. She loves anime and Batman. She’s always down for feeding me when I can’t handle feeding myself. She was told all through high school she would never do anything beyond that. Now she’s married with two kids, graduated from college, and runs marathons for fun. She can conquer anything she wants to. But she also needs all the extra help she can get right now.

Alaskan #2 on this list! Such a fun idea, especially after the past two years. I, too, am an introvert, but realising that doesn’t mean I don’t want/need friends. I often hear how difficult it is to make friends in adulthood (61). Maybe this is how! I’m tired of loooooong winters and would love to hear from snowbirders (or wanna be snowbirders, like me.) I have two “kids” 31 and 35 and raising a grand dog. Hope for grandkids…someday. Love Shetland and Vera and really anything BBC. Love to hear from anyone and will write back.

I would love some friendly notes. Tomorrow marks one year since my ex-spouse asked for a separation and my life imploded. It has been a dreadful year and I am still trying to claw my way back to some kind of peace.
I participated in this exchange the first time around!
I participated last time and found some lovely new pen friends! I’m recently retired from working as an elementary school library clerk. I’m an artist, care for 2 cats, value my solitude, read a lot. I have lots of pen pals. Mom of 5 grown kids, 1 grandchild. Don’t watch TV but do enjoy stuff on Netflix, etc. When I figure out how to relax, I’ll try Dr. Who again… it seems like something I’d enjoy but I’ve only seen bits and pieces! I can’t wait to start traveling again.
I’ll always write back, but when I’m in the middle of a painting, it might take longer. Thanks, Jenny, for starting this up again, I’ve thought of it often.

I have a long list of shows I’ve been told I need to watch. But watching tv makes me feel like I’m missing out on reading something so the shows remain unwatched and I lose a topic of small talk with strangers.

I’m originally from Texas, but the crazy there is dialed a bit high right now so I’ll stay in Colorado a while longer.

Trying to get myself into working out and being healthier (have been considering this for a good two years now),and have been discovering what night sweats are and the weird bumps and lumps you start to strangely grow after hitting 40.

I’m too paranoid about the Internet to put my address out there. But I love this community and I adore Jenny and her wonderfully perfect imperfectness and how sharing and giving she is to all of us weirdos in the world.
I always loved Valentine’s Day because it wasn’t really a couples thing until I got married. No boyfriend of mine ever did anything for me on that day because of Christmas, and then my birthday was the week after V-Day, and three gift giving days in such a short time was a lot for most romantic partners. But my Aunt and my Mom would give me Valentine cards, and I would buy candy conversation hearts, and the next day I would buy the clearance heart shaped boxes of candy that was left over, and eat only the chocolates I liked out of the box. So it was a day where my family gave me notes of love and I treated myself to my love of chocolate.
I also liked giving my friends chocolate and celebrating our friendships on that day. So for me, it was a day to show others that you appreciate them, and show yourself appreciation.
I love, love, love this idea. For the first time in a decade, I have no valentine, because I decided on Sunday to take a stand and put myself first. As a result, I’m now residing in the Artic freeze – but to combat that ick I have been Valentining to all those special to me throughout the day – gratitude for true friends brings light and love. PS – I have loved all of your books and have enlisted at least three of my nearest and dearest to laugh with you. Thx for your quirky humor – it’s just what the world needs.

I don’t hate Valentine’s Day now, but as a kid I HATED it, since the teachers didn’t care if everyone got a card back then. But my DH can be counted in for a cute card & chocolates so, it’s good. I made sure I always gave my kids Valentine’s, & in their 30s & 40s, I still get them a little box of chocolates 😀
I’d still like a pen pal though!

I’m into all things cats, witch, books, languages. Potterhead, Whovian tired of almost 2 and a 1/2 years almost not going out. Can’t promise I’ll write back, but I will try.

A dear friend pointed me here, and I am intrigued. I would love *real* mail – letters, postcards, what-have-you. I am incurably curious about my fellow human beings, and what makes them happy, or keeps them going every day.
I’m a 60-something, transplanted New Englander, queer woman, living tiny in northwest Washington, loving those sunsets over the Pacific. Trying to be creative, but in a rut lately ( yearning for Spring) – love history, genealogy, anything Japanese, arts and crafts, musicals, nature, furry critters…and that’s just to start.
Anyhow, drop me a line. Would love to hear from new friends, far and wide.

I didn’t do the mail last time but I loved the idea. Not sure why I didn’t. Maybe felt like too big of a limb.. anyway, I’m a mom of 3 young adults, 2 cats, older husband.. kind of eclectic in that I work out, read almost anything (except romance), craft all kinds of things, love word puzzles and solitaire, not a fan of video games, movie lover, gardener, moderate Whovian /Potterhead /Star Trek and Wars/ Hobbit-friend and all around nerdy goober.

I hate Valentine’s Day – but I love this idea more.
I’m a single woman staring down the barrel of 40. My cat comes before every human in my life. I cross stitch, sew, and play bass – well, I keep meaning to do all those hobbies but working two jobs kind of drains the time bank. Love music of all sorts, retro fashion, and cute shit.

Ooh! This sounds like fun! I would definitely like to be part of this and maybe wind up being penpals. But I can’t make the first move. I ran out of my antidepressants and anxiety medicine and the pharmacy has taken forever to refill them so my brain is like when I was a kid and would get that pop up of a thousand boxes saying the same thing on the computer and peopled panicked and just unplugged the computer (it’s me, I’m people).
I’m a pansexual polyamorous weirdo and I make up 1/3 of my amazing pod. I craft a lot (sew, quilt, crochet, knit, and cross stitch), I have 2 dogs, 1 cat and a bearded dragon (not a Komodo dragon which my son announced we have to his 5th grade class 🤦🏻♀️). I’m super introverted and I of course married two extroverts. I also am a tattoo enthusiast, love musicals, podcasts about murder, murder shows, Downton Abbey and all sorts of other things. But I ramble. So I’ll stop here.

I don’t like Val day very much. I work in a public middle school, so really, do you blame me? Anyhoo, ‘tho I don’t love the day, I DO LOVE the cheesy tear-apart valentines that I get from the drugstore on the corner. (Lisa Frank had the BEST) I bought a box and gave them out for kids at work to use as bookmarks. I’ll send some out this week for some fellow Jenny fans. 🙂 I love getting real mail, so I’m bashfully adding my own address. This sort of public, ahem, exposure is very frightening for me but I am trying to beat back my depression by trying new things, hoping I can regain some of my happy.

I sent a bunch of cards last time but I’d love to get some this time. Not my favorite holiday (a good friend died on this day 21 years ago and I got in a car accident today though I’m ok). Love to read. Love crafting and Harry Potter and cats and being outside.

My friends and I hated Valentine’s so we organised an anti Valentine’s party. I proceeded to get very drunk and hooked up with one of my friends and 22 years and two kids later we now have to celebrate our anniversary on Valentine’s!
Not a big fan of VDay. I grew up where our teachers would tape paper bags with students’ names printed on the bag to the chalkboard in the front of the room. Students were supposed to drop off valentines. I felt so judged when I only would receive 2 or 3. Years later, I’d try to make up for a not so great bf and bought a gift and said it was from him – didn’t want to be judged by my roommates. I have a bad history with the holiday but am glad it’s better with a supportive partner. I always think of those that may have not had a great day. I hope they got through it relatively unscathed. And, Jenny, I will eat chocolate regardless, no holiday is going to keep me or push me to my chocolate 🍫💕
What a wonderful idea! Count me in.
Me: Old geek (childhood Trekkie, STAR WARS kid, LotR, Dune, Cryptonomicon, but also Jim Harrison–recently, Ada Palmer, Too Like the Lightning; Yōko Ogawa,The Housekeeper and the Professor). Still: wannabe writer. Was: journalist (10+ years before realizing being an anxiety-ridden introvert terrified of making phone calls was a bad fit). Now: aging copy editor/proofreader (I move commas in textbooks around for a living). Was almost: an anthropologist. Should probably have been: a librarian. Wife is a nurse, so she’s pretty tired.

I love this idea and definitely need some social interaction of any kind since my best friend died of cancer (she was only 39) a couple months ago. I have been getting ketamine treatments to help with grief/depression (and my 6 years of chronic pain/autoimmune issues) but dark humor, my cat (Jimothy) and Neil Gaiman books seem to be what’s helping the most.

I once gave myself this nickname and it didn’t really stick so I am bringing it back! Think of the ego boost I may get every time I go to the mailbox.
I love mail, strange mascots, have four cats and a garden.
I’m in. I have beautiful stationery that has never been used, a tbr list that grows exponentially, and a funny family that cracks me up on a daily basis.
I love the Usual Suspects, caper movies, HP, LOTR, Dr Who, Outlander, and Marvel. I read everything. We always say “Have fun storming the castle!” when anyone leaves. We speak in memes and pop culture, and my children learned 6×7 as the answer to life the universe and everything.

Hello! Mom to a 13 yo human and two 4 yo rabbits who might as well be 4 extra teens. David Tennant was an absolutely amazing Doctor Who, but in character sounds exactly like my BFF’s husband who also happens to be named David, so I find it highly distracting and have a very hard time with the suspension of disbelief. Therefore I am a Tom/ Matt/ Peter fan for the Dr. and a Jessica Jones fan for DT. Also embarrassingly addicted to British cozy mysteries on my Kindle. Oh and my weird side hustle is that I’m a recognized expert on left of center gun owners in America. Feel free to ask me anything about that judgement free.

I love the outdoors, The X-Files, and absolutely adore the idea of being penpals.
I just told my 13yr old the other day that you used to be able to send your address into magazines and get pen pals from it!
I would love to get some dopamine inducing mail that isn’t self instigated through an online shopping spree and also a reason to check my mailbox.
I crochet, weave, needle felt and sometimes knit. I love fantasy novels about magic and space operas….about space. I have two cats, two lizards and a ton of fish.

This sounds fun! I am a Parrothead, avid quilter, retired middle school teacher and Mom to one grown daughter. Servant to two elderly cats, doting aunt, and NPR fan. Don’t like Valentine’s Day at all. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Last summer, I drove 3000 miles round-trip halfway across the United States on a road trip to get out of the house, out of the heat, and just because I could. I enjoy traveling, reading and iced tea all year round.

I love Jenny Lawson’s creations and existence, reading hilarious nonfiction and non-hilarious historical fiction, Ted Lasso, Parks and Rec, Schitt’s Creek, my family, and my students. I teach at a high school and am the Queer / Straight Alliance club advisor. I love music and am currently listening to the Encanto soundtrack at least once a day. I used to fantasize about being on “Dancing With the Stars” because I really felt I could pick up the choreography well, but I remembered I’m neither a professional dancer nor a star, so I’m back to just going to my regular job every day.
It’s super normal that I listed things I love, starting with Jenny and ending with my family, right? Like I listed TV shows before my kids. Yikes. I look forward to sending and receiving cards.

Hey there, everybody! I’m Mel, and holy moly, I could really use some fun mail right now! I promise I will write back – mostly because snail mail is fun, but also because my husband accidentally bought eleventy billion stamps a few years ago and I think we’ve used approximately three. Let’s see: I’m a journalist at a largerish daily newspaper. I’m married to the best guy ever. We have a goofy, sweet, smart rescue cat, Alexis Something Rose. David Tennant is definitely the best Doctor. I make jewelry and am teaching myself to solder (haven’t burned down the house so far. No whammies!) I love to read. I’m a big fan of Supernatural, Schitt’s Creek, Arrested Development, Curb, baking competition shows, graphic design, Photoshop and Chicago’s local music scene.

Pandemic exhaustion is real and I've been feeling pretty lonely lately. Also, I live in a small village next to Barcelona (Spain) and I would love to be known as the weird woman that receives weird mail. So here I go:
I'm a history buff and know all kind of weird stuff (did you know that Napoleon lost his battlefield mojo because of a bad case of hemorrhoids?). I love buying old photographs in antique stores and display them at home to restore their position within a loving family. My daughter is a wonderful 4 years old highly sensitive child who is too good for this broken world. I'm currently trying to write a time travel novel, but I'm paralyzed by fear. We have two cats and an imaginary dog named Pretzel (we are hoping we can adopt a real dog soon!). And quirky people are the best!!

I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day, especially back when I was single!
I’m a 51 year old Californian-Canadian (lived here for nearly 20 years now), mother of 4 kids (2 are still 13), nerdy bookworm who also loves camping and playing most outdoor sports (especially downhill skiing). I overheard my son yesterday asking a random online kid in his video game « what’s the Super Bowl? » so clearly I have failed to teach my children the ways of my homeland. I moved to Quebec just before COVID, so now I speak French too. My husband and two younger kids sit down to watch Big Bang theory with me every night. Those are my peeps. I’ve never seen Dr Who, but realize that’s probably a crime. None of us are diagnosed, but I bet we are all somewhere on the spectrum (a bit closer to the Asperger’s end than the neuro typical end).

Raised in Chicago, moved to Argentina, returned to New York. Don’t ask how I ended up in Nebraska – I think I was drugged!! Adore Jenny’s books & keep an extra stash to give away when someone knocks at the front door. It just dawned on me…that’s probably why the mail person just generally flings the mail on the front lawn and speeds off! NE is…uh…well, you’ve got to have a sense of humor and a profound passion for beef, corn and football! ✍ Write! This could be verrrry interesting!
I participated in the last exchange and it was awesome. I’ve had some horrible things happen since then– well, just the one really: my middle child, my 19-year-old son, overdosed in December and died right before Christmas 2021. As I say, really horrible, and I’m very sorry to be a downer. Ever since then, my remaining kids, Rhys (22) and Rowan (16), and I myself have been looking for some meaning or purpose in life. Like– what’s the point of staying here? Why do we have to keep going? We’ve been looking for signs, and maybe– just maybe– this is one. I’m going to take a chance. We’re goofy, nerdy, autistic, Doctor Who, Star Wars and Star Trek lovin’ oddballs who have had some lousy hands dealt to us and could use a pen pal or two.

My dearest hubby and I are too practical now and wouldn’t dream of trying to go out to eat on the 14th but we had a marvelous dinner together last Friday. Valentines Day is fine for me because I have no expectations. When you have zero expectations, you aren’t disappointed.
I’m not comfortable posting my own address, but trust and believe I will be sending cards to people braver than I.

Matt Smith was pretty great though. And tbh Capaldi just never really had good writing.
I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t been reading your site much lately (I’m earning my MSW and in the process of building a website to help students/schools learn how to be safer/kinder for their LGBTQ+ students, helping teachers learn to be better allies, and helping students start GSAs) …. but I clicked on your link this morning and I’m glad I did.
I’m grateful you’re in the world, Jenny Lawson. You make it a better place.
P.S. Loved the compiled shot of you with all the different drinking vessels. That spray bottle though!
Thank you for being you, Jenny. You’re awesome. And you make my world brighter all the time.
I would love a new pen pal! I’ve had one since fairly early childhood who (whom?) I remain in contact with today, but we’ve mostly gone virtual. Our once yearly hand-written missives are always eagerly awaited by each other.
Anyhoo, I love naps, reading, and watching bad tv, but in public I say my hobbies are more active. My pet peeves are misspellings (except for my own), littering, and road rage (except for my own). We are thinking of getting chickens in the spring and have a spoiled, grumpy rat terrier. We have a lot of woods. And just in case you are a serial murderer, you should know I have my own .380. Wanna be friends?

I love writing and receiving cards! Yay!! Great idea.
I’m a momma bear of two young girls, and lover of animals and the outdoors- but allergic to both (except my kids). So they’re lucky they get all my attention, except that there are days that my introverted self would much rather shun the world and read a book from my overflowing bookshelf (my husband curses me any time a book falls on him).
My kids are great at going along with and adding to the silly shenanigans in our home :).
I love watching TV shows like Dexter, or any British murder / mystery … currently 3 episodes in to Yellowstone and wondering why they think killing people and hiding the bodies is a NORMAL thing to do for any time someone even looks at them the wrong way!! (Last night I screamed « WHY!?!? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!? » at the tv, like I could somehow change the show’s premise like a dumbass)
Anyway. I digress.

Read obsessively (urban fantasy, zombies, end of world and interesting), learning to crochet, scrapbook and trying to lose my Covid lbs.

I love to receive mail. I’ve never watched a Dr. Who in my life, but can we be friends anyway? I like true crime, cats, rubber stamping, reading books and puzzle building. Judy Palmer / 4343 E Glenn Street / Tucson AZ 85712
How fun! This will be a great way to use the extra US stamps I have before we move to the UK in late-March and they become useless to me. I don’t hate Valentine’s Day because it’s a great excuse to receive and eat extra chocolate. And the V-day card my husband gave me says, “Her only wish – to be carried away in a riptide of cheese” and has a picture of a woman diving into a giant bowl of macaroni and cheese. Those pieces of info pretty much sum me up. 🙂

Well, hi! I spend most of my time tending my 6 goats, cat, handicapped chicken, and 5 acres (with my partner’s help on weekends). Also a part-time lawyer. Murder mysteries and supernatural/fantasy books, dabbling at homesteading, and loving on my people and critters are my things.
Receiving personal mail amidst the fliers and bills would be a delight!

Probably late to the game but I’d love to get some happy mail. I’m going through a bit of a rough patch and this community of likeminded weirdos helps keep me going.
I love my black cat, books, yoga, raccoons, and the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie.

This idea is great!
I’m Scott, I’ve finally accepted that I’m always going to be a 90’s slacker nerd. I’m into DnD, MTG, Star Wars, Sci-fi/fantasy novels. Yoga and meditation keep me sane (in addition to professional help). My one superpower is that I can read books reallllllly fast. I don’t remember the contents a month later, but I just devour books. Scientific articles, which are part of my job, are the exception. They are like hiking uphill through a swamp. But hey, whatever pays the bills.
Anyway, my address:

I really enjoyed getting cards and letters the last time. I was in a bad space and those small reminders that still mattered made all the crap seem beneath me.
Now I’m in a better space, and we’re moving to a new house next Monday. But the past 2 years have wrung me out emotionally. My Oma (grandma) died 2 years ago and then my mother stole my grandparents house from me. That house was the one place that I felt safe when i was a child. No one yelled at me, scared me, hit me, or made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. I felt, and actually still feel like a large piece of my childhood was erased.
To top it off, I’m going through menopause and my moods are all over the place, the movers are coming on Monday and I have barely begun to pack, I won’t have a stove in the new place until March 19th, one of my dogs hurt his leg but won’t get in the car so i can take him to the vet, my husband got a new job but is having to get up at the ungodly hour of 3:30 in the morning to be at work by 6:00, he’s been driving my car since his has been in the shop since last May, my son was evicted from his apartment and he needs our help to get a new place, and I’m surprised I haven’t gone completely off my rocker yet.
All that being said, it would be lovely to see mail at my new address that isn’t bills or addressed to “occupant”! 🙂

I love getting mail! I’ve turned into Henny Penny (please someone out there know who I’m talking about) since covid and my Dad’s recent passing and since I bought every Amazon product offered last year I rarely get fun mail anymore! I love everything mystery-especially Agatha Christie….and all things British! And dogs and cats! And Animal Crossing! Oh, and vodka.

Hi, I’m Sarah W. and I make cards but have no one to send them to so this is great. I also enjoy art journaling and reading. My German Shepard is an asshole who only loves my husband and I think the squirrel in the tree is trying to send me messages to watch my back if the feeder goes empty. If I haven’t creeped you out, I live at 375 Skinner Lane, Utica, KY 42376
Would love real mail and will send cards, poems, snippets of songs, useless and irrelevant observations and whatever else strikes my fancy in return. People I would like to be friends with. Jenny Lawson obviously, Bill Murray, Mick Aston (Time Team). I love good stories Jane Austen, Dorothy Dunnett, Arthur Rackham illustrations, history and any of the above with good tea and scones. I live with my husband and two ex-feral cats named Lazy Louie and Psycho CeCe. Cats not husband. He’s funny and supportive. Husband not cats. Cats are crazy gluttons and bent on destroying every nice thing I have.

Love David T
River Song is DELIGHTFUL as is Capt. Jack
But I am also quite fond of 11.
I am owned by a cat and dog. Married for almost 16 years. Obsessive reader, crafter, gravity challenged being.
I always remind people Valentine’s Day is the Remembrance of the day Saint Valentine was beheaded. True and just oh so romantic.
Right, I’ve written four letters so far – with a fountain pen, no less! and have bookmarked the page so I can go back and snag more addresses.
As for me, I’m an introvert. I have a bunch of chronic illnesses that make things difficult, but I’m chugging along. Sort of. My TBR pile of books is stupidly big and growing all the time. I am obsessed with British history and there are SO many new books being released. I’m going to be dead before I get them all read, but I shall die happy, surrounded by my books. And yarn. I knit and I read and I watch a metric fuckton of mainly British crime dramas/dramas in general. I loathe the outdoors. I mean, it’s pretty to look at, but I have no desire to hike in it or camp in it or even have a picnic in it. I will admire it from my windows, thank you very much.
I know this is way down at the bottom of the page, but if anyone would like to write, I will write back.

I love getting mail and could use a smile or full brain transplant or one way ticket to somewhere tropical (the winter overcast may be getting to me just a hair). I enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, love pretty much anything from the BBC, and spend way too much time at my local library. I have three cats, a Siamese, an orange tabby, and black who is convinced she is queen of the universe or at least the living room. I used to have pen pals all over the country and would enjoy having something to write back and forth with, or just once.

Hello all,
I’m in a rough spot of life right now. 2021 was one giant test of how many leaves of absence can I take before I simply just close my psychiatric out patient practice from far too much devastation. Four. I can take four events so horrible that I can’t see my patients and need the self employed version of FMLA.
The fifth medical tragedy was the worst one and I closed my practice. Professionally, kindly, getting everyone in my practice a new provider, but also, to each person- out of the blue and a not very punk rock thing for me to do.
I’m going to send letters, as many as I can, and have saved all the letters from the last time.

Just found out a week ago my husband of 31 years has had an affair. He regrets it. He wants to reconcile. It would be so easy to slip back into. I am busy contacting lawyers and copying financial documents and trying to decide what I want. How do you even begin to make that decision? I hate that this is defining me right now, but when I think to describe myself, it has for a long time been only in relation to others: I have a grown son living at home suffering from anxiety and depression; I have a second, transgender son who is spectacularly living his truth. For this family I willingly and lovingly gave up myself, but now I am lost. Rebuilding seems a momentous task.
I would relish advice and thoughts from you good, wise people with sassy humour and sarcasm and straight talk. I should disclose that I’ve never seen Dr. Who and I don’t craft anything, in case those are dealbreakers. I do dream of running away to a quiet English Village to a house within earshot of a church bell.

I’d love a note in the mailbox or one way ticket to anywhere tropical or full brain transplant (sorry seasonal affective is getting to me). I have three cats a Siamese, orange tabby, and black cat who is convinced she is the queen of the universe or at least the living room. I read a lot of science fiction, fantasy, and some mysteries. Once had pen pals on both coasts, but we fell out of touch. I’d love to have someone to write to or just to write to once.

What a fun idea! I remember when you could get a pen pal in the back of Teen Beat magazine when I was in junior high…..you know, back when we didn’t get bills in the mail and didn’t have to worry about adulting!
I am an almost 44 year old (I seriously have no idea how that happened, I could swear I was 18 just yesterday)! My husband and I just moved to Indiana after spending the last several years in Las Vegas for his military career. He retired from the Air Force after 21 years and we were happy to get back to the Midwest.
I am a car nut, but also love collecting Pyrex, reading (just about any genre) wandering around antique/vintage stores, watching Jeopardy!, and petting all the dogs I can find. And goats, because they are just the cutest!
And I know you must be cool because you read Jenny Lawson, so there’s that!

Hi All! I participated last time but it was before I even knew Jenny had a blog although I had read all her books to date. Our local librarian had a crafts gathering where we decorated and wrote positive postcards to the addresses from the post. I never put my return address and later when I found Jenny’s blog, I figured it was too late to put my address on the list. I’d love some cheerfulness in my life!
I live out in the middle of no where which has nice clean air but it can be soul sucking. I’m a little reclusive, well, OK, a lot reclusive because I’m deathly sensitive to scents. I’m only confessing this as a plea if you decide to write please don’t scent anything you might send me as some like to do.
I am 65 years old which frightens me…getting old is not for the weak…so if anyone has any advice or tips for survival, I would appreciate it. I am purposefully single, child free, and pet free. I love arts and crafts, reading, writing, organic gardening, cooking (eating), good movies, good tv, good music, and walking. I’m dreaming about retiring and living in my van like a nomadic hippy. I have never seen Doctor Who, but I do like David Tennant.

Visual artist (@michaeljoyalstudio on the Instagram), owner of a spoiled Devon Rex, guinea pig and turtle who loves reading, comic book stuff and cool books that would belong on Jenny’s bookclub.
Art, reading, movies and happy mail is my creative fun. David Tennant in “Good Omens” & Jessica Jones ( he is a fab villain) Never watched Dr. Who? Winter in Canada, reading is a daily pastime. “Circus of Wonders” just arrived! Lucky me, gift from my daughter I am a very cool Nana who believes in Magic & Fae Folk. I would definitely write back to any where in the world! Thank you for the wonderful post and Im so happy my Instagram friends intro. me to you ! Galantine’s are the BEST!

This feels a little crazy, but I’m in! I read just about anything but I really love sappy romances – if it includes sexy vampires, even better. I’m a new grandmother – best gig ever, and I’m trying to get my 19 year old out of my house. I’m also living in a new city and feeling a little lost (literally and figuratively).

My boyfriend has been struggling with severe depression and anxiety for 8 months on top of difficulty with friends the last year and having thoughts of suicide the last 3 weeks. He could really use a letter or if you live in the Denver area a friend.
He loves video games (and would love to play online with you), Marvel, anime, board games, swing dancing, skiing and being silly. He is a vegetarian who cares deeply about animals and people. While an introvert he can be really outgoing at gatherings and is a super wonderful person.

My dad died on Valentine’s Day giving me yet another reason to hate it.
My husband and I exchanged a lot of e-mails when we first met, as we met online (back when that wasn’t as common). I printed them out & re-read them every so often for a smile.
Speaking of smiles… I came across this place because I saw it on a show on HGTV & it just makes me happy that it exists. It’s a CASTLE… with Llamas! If anybody gets to live in a castle, I’m really happy that it’s people with llamas… It’s far away from us, but it makes me happy just knowing that it exists…

This sounds wonderful! What a great way to share some love. I have been in a bit of a low, so sending and receiving (if I am so lucky) some happy mail would definitely be a positive.
I am a fan of cats, baseball, reading, and baking. I’m *very* easily distracted by bubbles (the kind you blow in the air and the beverage variety) and love a good pun or dad joke. I enjoy ice cream and tacos- not necessarily together, unless it is a ChocoTaco, of course. Lilo and Stitch is one of my all time favorite movies and is so underappreciated.

You have already made the decision. Reclaim your life. Take up your passionate interests. Set strict boundaries. Get support for your son, outside of family circle. I had 43 year old son with me for six years after an accident. Outside rehab helped him and rested me. Wish you every good thing and a life to be lived, your way.
Hi, I’m Liz. 50, terminally single, mother of two bunnies and two tarantulas. David Tennant but also Tom Baker! Love hiking, reading, and chocolate. Can’t seem to find anybody in my age bracket (also area) to do my hiking, reading and geeky things with. Love museums, all kinds. Chris Evans is the best of the Chrises. Random Liz trivia – I voice a character in my friend’s scripted podcast (just finished recording my episodes for season two!).
Please come to NY and hike some high peaks with me…or meet up with me to visit the amazing natural places in the US that I am too chicken to do on my own. 🙂
