Snail Mail

Okay, I suppose I should explain my lack of new posts.

Let me start off by saying that my job is extremely boring.  No honestly, my job is extremely boring.  It also doesn't require a lot of concentration.  I sit at a desk and ask stupid people lots of stupid questions over the telephone.

That said..  I pass the time at work by writing letters.  At first I just used it as an opportunity to write to the First Ward missionaries, Vegas and Tango, but I eventually started writing more and more letters.  To people I haven't seen in a long time or to people I see pretty regularly, it doesn't matter.

I find it really enjoyable.  It's therapeutic in the same way that posting on a blog or writing in a journal is therapeutic.  It's creative.  I have fun writing about day-to-day happenings, it makes them seem less mundane.  I have fun drawing little pictures and diagrams of the things I write about.  It's fun even though I don't write anything of consequence.  It's also fun to stay in touch with friends and family members that you usually wouldn't see much.

And who doesn't love snail mail?!  Isn't it so much fun to go out to the mailbox and find something addressed to you?  Something other than a bill or an advertisement.  Something that someone actually spent time writing.  Sealed the envelope.  Licked the stamp.  Sent off.  Just for you.

So that's why I haven't posted much lately, because everything I would write about has already been told in a letter.
