Communicado

I didn't start using email until my sophomore year of college, but now I have six active email addresses—three that I check daily (work, freelance, and personal) and three that sit around collecting spam.

I also have five accounts with networking sites (Friendster, MySpace, etc.), three phone lines, three IM accounts, two blogs (the defunct original plus this one), a sporadically updated website, and a shelf full of journals.

You know what I miss?

Letters.

Especially those thin blue airmail ones that fold over on themselves, so they're impossible to open without ripping a little bit of the precious stuff inside.

Maybe what I really miss is other people's handwriting.
