Urgh, I moved last week and have not collected the mail from my old place yet.. My old roommate still lives there, so it's not in danger of being picked up by strangers, but I'm getting antsy! And the post office won't forward it because the old address is listed as a business! I probably won't be able to pick it up until Friday and I might have gooooon mail!  I am going to update my address on the first page now.

Mailed out a couple of cards yesterday!  Unfortunately, I'm now out of stamps and kind of broke. Hope everyone enjoys Christmas cards in June! Also, my goony boyfriend (Psykoguy) and I are moving in together in a couple weeks, so you can write to both of us at the same convenient goony address!

I got awesome (and slightly creepy) mail from Walrus Truck too! It was really hard to wait for my goony boyfriend to get home so we could open it together. Mr. Croakums is a bit disturbed by your proposal, and relative proximity to our place of residence. Also got an adorable letter from Lamb recently! I will try to send some cards and stuff out tomorrow. They will probably be for the wrong holiday, but goon mail is the best mail.

I just found a postcard in my mailbox, with a painting of a pumpkin on it, and a trick-or-treat request from a little girl in the Netherlands. I might have to wait until I get paid next week, but I can't not send her candy now. I don't know how familiar you are with American candy, but as far as I'm concerned, I got the good stuff this year.

Nah, it's okay. I just spent a lot of money on things I didn't need this week. Like bags and bags of sweet discount candy..

Skabanero pePPers posted:e: How do I send mail to countries outside of the US? Calculate postage amount and stamp that bad boy up and I'm good? Last year I sent some stuff to Canada and the UK and it was something like 80c, so I just stuck a couple Forever stamps on it and it was good to go! Rates do vary by country though, so look it up to be sure. If your post office has one of those automated thingies it's a real lifesaver, though. You can just toss a letter on the scale, tell the machine what it is and where it's going, and it'll print out exact postage. I use the one at my post office all the time (partially because it's also available 24/7 and I am a night owl..) I am preparing Christmas cards and I'll try to get as many goons as possible. Especially if you live nearby and I can write something creepy in your card (I am not actually a creep). Or if you have an interesting username. Or you write to me first. I am terrible at replying to my mail, but I eventually get around to it.. Edit: I will also try to get my boyfriend/roommate/goonygoon to sign the cards. He doesn't send or receive a lot of goon mail, but he always gets excited and looks over my shoulder when I get something.

I have two big stacks of cards going out soon! One batch for US goons because I had a bunch of stamps sitting around, and whenever I get my rear end to the post office I have cards going out to many international goons! I picked a bunch of you based on how cool your forum names or places of residence were (this means all my fellow California goons are getting cards  ). I'll try to write back to anyone who sends me something, too. The card exchange was the best part of last Christmas, especially since I was kind of depressed about everything else in life, so I definitely want to keep it up!

I'm sneezing already, just thinking of all the lovely cat fur! I sent out a few cards last week, and bought more stamps. So far 20 lucky(?) US goons will be getting something, and 10 international goons! I actually have to buy more cards now..

Walrus Truck posted:HOLY CATS! Thank you Mizufusion and Psykoguy for the lovely "generic holiday sentiment!" I honestly never expected to get anything in return. This was a wonderful surprise! I happened to be babysitting today, so I was able to share some of the stickers with a 3-year old who was very much thrilled. I also asked him what the paper crane's name was and he said to call it George. Yay!  I try to write back to everyone, but I am a horrible forgetful procrastinator sometimes (all the time).

I wrote down the names of all the goons I sent cards to because I'm paranoid about this. Psykoguy and I have received some lovely cards this week from Lamb, cuntvalet, Genesplicer,, lefolieadeux, and AuntBuck! (And for anyone wondering, no, we're not teachers. I just got a bunch of those stickers from someone who used to be one.)

Just sent off a couple more cards, and realized I left the apartment number off someone's address when it came back to me. Oops. Hopefully I'll make it to the post office tomorrow to send out some more international cards! I finally took a picture of my cards, too! I hung them up on the back of my kitchen cabinets, so you see them right when you walk in the door. It makes the place feel a little festive, which is nice since we don't have a tree or any other decorations up yet..  There's also a birthday card from my mom up there!

miryei posted:Mailed cards to 9 of you in the US! If your post office has one of the fancy automated postal centers, you can use that too. Takes a bit longer, but as long as you're just mailing letters/cards (anything else requires customs forms and you have to talk to a clerk) it'll print off the correct postage for any country. Plus, it has a scale built in, so you don't have to worry if your letter is a bit heavy.

I got a card from marsattacks today, and for some reason I felt compelled to sing the mail song from Blue's Clues while I opened it and my boyfriend laughed at me. The card had Blue's Clues stickers inside.  It's like I'm a psychic, but only for really stupid stuff.  Also, thanks to Drei and 13Pandora13 for helping add some cheer to my living room! I'm going to need another row of string soon.. Maybe I'll put some on our scraggly little tree too.

Today was a good day for goon mail! Got cards from, Vixenella & Alkaphanel, Fish on a Stick (who wrote my username in Japanese!), and RubySprinkles! And my boyfriend got a package from another goon with little presents in it for us! We also got cards from when worlds collide (delightfully Canadian!), and Andaley the other day! Now I feel bad because I've been slacking on the reply mail. I ran out of cards, and some of them are addressed but they're international and I haven't bought stamps yet. I'm sorry. I swear I'll send them out soon!  It's super festive on our wall though! I had to put up more string, and our roommate is getting a bit jealous.

Thank you Team Lunch, who sent a pretty card and a bunch of stencils, and Fluffy Bunnies, who I can thank for infesting my bedroom with confetti! I sent out some more international cards the other day, but the postage to some countries was higher than others, so I couldn't mail all of them at once. I'll try to send out some more tomorrow.

Niemat posted:Did we decide it was still cool to send Christmas cards...? Because I think I'm going to keep sending Christmas cards until they're gone. I have a bunch that are already addressed and just in need of postage, so I should hope so. Then again, I've been known to intentionally send cards for the wrong holidays all year round. I got a couple of really awesome cards from Van Goober and Mr. Lacey a couple days ago. My roommate was a bit disturbed by everything, so hooray! The creepy dolphin drawing has been added to the fridge and thoroughly analyzed for  levels.

Got a few more cards over the last couple weeks, from the genesplicers, carboardRobot, jadedhula, and Dangereuse's  I just got a very belated box of cards in the mail, so I'm going to send a couple of those out before I start sending Valentine's cards. Or, 'know, I might just put heart stickers on my Christmas cards and call them Valentines.  Actually, that reminds me, I was so busy sending cards to strangers, I forgot to send them to my family. Ooops. I guess I should do that too!

Well, vacation was postponed so I won't be sending off expensive Disneyland postcards for a while.. but I still have plenty of weird Valengoon goodies! And I just realized I have a great excuse to decorate my calendar. I got a stupid scrapbooking calendar because it was on clearance at the craft store, but everything that came with it was stupid so I just hung it up like a normal calendar. Now it's slowly being covered in stickers, and it'll be a great "year of goonmail" collection. Most of the cards and paper trinkets I get already go into a photo album, but this will be a nice way of keeping the other tsotchkes together. I always thought scrapbooking was really stupid until now, other than to keep photos and things like ticket stubs for special events. Goons make everything better!

Re: Mailing labels I just got a bunch in the mail from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! It's awesome because they're pretty and free, but I feel terrible because I'm not going to send them anything. I've been awful about mailing replies to anyone who sent me something over the last couple weeks, but I guess I don't have much of an excuse now. I should find something cool to send IMJack though. My roommates were jealous of the totally sweet KoL valentine card.

Well, all that free time I thought I had for writing was quickly consumed by drinking and napping and drinking, and it was almost impossible to find a shop with postcards! It's like they think no one writes anymore.. I did manage to scrawl out a few cards, though. I have no idea what they said, so I'm sorry if I mailed you something really awful, goons! Hopefully the address is legible and nothing else on those cards is. I should probably send the rest of them out now that I'm home and sober.

Andaley posted:Thanks so much to Team Lunch for the fun Easter Goonmail! First piece of fun mail at my new place - everything else has been bills! haha I got a pretty package like this from Team Lunch too! I used some of the stickers and foamy shapes to decorate my calendar. Every month I try to cover it in stuff from goons. Here's how this month looks so far!  The patch wasn't from anyone in this thread, but I included it anyway because it is from a goon! It was a special bonus from Mr. Parsons for ordering his new book. I also like to decorate my fridge with some of the weirder stuff I've received. Here's what it looked like a couple weeks ago, plus or minus a couple other random trinkets.  And now I'm going to send off some belated Easter cards!

This is why I use the automated postage center at my local post office. It's never wrong, it tells you exactly what regulations apply to whatever you're sending, and it doesn't talk back. I cannot think of a single polite or civil thing I'd say to a bitch like that. I think I'd just take my letters and leave. The good news is that the letters will probably just be returned to you if they're missing forms or something. I hope.

I just sent off mail to some Canadigoons, and it feels really weird using the AMERICA  stamps for international postage, but that's just the generic design.. I bought stamps at the drugstore yesterday so I didn't get to pick from a million pretty pictures. I covered the envelopes in Canada stickers, hoping that it would balance everything out.

I took my address off the list for a couple of reasons but mostly it is because I won't be able to keep up for awhile (and I always like to reply when someone sends me something). It was a really nice surprise as I wasn't expecting it. Hooray! I knew I got that card for a reason!  I'm glad you enjoyed it, and please don't feel obligated to send anything back.

I just got it today, and I used the heart shapes and stickers to decorate my calendar. I made it all obnoxiously sweet looking since me and the boyfriend are celebrating a year together this Friday.  The card gave us a good laugh too! It just looks so upset, like or something, and no one has ever sent me a "have a terrible Easter" card before. Actually, it was the only Easter card I got this year so I guess I'll have to go back in time and have an awful day!
