Snail Mail

You know how exciting it was when you were younger, to get a letter in the mail?? (yes, we are that old, don't deny it) Well, now that snail mail has been outdated and is now used by all those awful bill collectors and anyone else who sends junk mail, you don't really look forward to it anymore, do you?

I know I don't, if you do, then, I'm proud of you? I personally don't know how to react if you enjoy getting bills in the mail....weirdo. (if it's actual letters from friends, then you're not a weirdo, don't worry)

Lately, my version of Snail Mail is e-mail. One of my friends joined the navy after he graduated high school and since he's now been sent off, he can't use his phone and text (we've become too dependent on instant gratification anyway) so he e-mails everyone. He's been a good friend of mine for a while, and I still get mad at myself that I never wrote him while he was at Basic...I know, I'm a horrible friend...don't hate me too much, I'm just REALLY forgetful.

I like e-mail better anyway. TOO many things get lost in the mail these days. Especially if you change your address and they KEEP sending your stuff to the old address...makes you wanna hurt someone!! I won't hurt anyone, I'm just saying.

 Sometimes I think the mail men take the 'snail' part of 'snail mail' literally. You know who you are.

So, now, instead of waiting for the mail man to get to the mail box with a letter, I check my inbox or wait for an e-mail notification on my phone from him. It's kind of like having a pen pal in a way...except..I've actually met him before and we've known each other since high school...eh, it's still like a pen pal.
