★★★★★★★★

DEAR STRANGERS,

I SEEK GREAT ADVENTURES AND TEMPORARY FRIENDS DURING THE TRANSIENT PASSAGE THAT IS MY LIFE.

(I send my words into the world and wait for whatever new words will come.)

☮

I am a girl from Singapore who loves fun, adventure, and the unpredictability of everyday living. Hope to backpack a good amount in the near future before I decide what else I want to do.

I love anything Native American, or to do with cowboys.

Anything art-related will win my heart <3 - Especially if it's graffiti or street art or printmaking or Warhol.

ANY PAINTING BY EDWARD HOPPER.

Vintage stamps.

ANYTHING WITH GNOMES ON THEM, STAMPS WITH GNOMES ON THEM, TRAVELLING GNOMES, ETC ETC.

I love buses and trains, and long aimless journeys. I want to be a gypsy.

I like views of the sky, or the moon. Or elephants, everyone likes elephants!

If you happen to be Russian, I <3 MATRYOSHKAS. I have a collection of nesting dolls and it makes me happy! (If you're able to mail me a wooden nesting doll, let me know and we could swap - I'll mail something in return.)

Pikku Myy and the Moomins too!

Pin-up girls! Sailors and tattoos! Scenes from Coney Island or any amusement park!

Any celestial body, especially the sun and the moon, or any planet or constellation.

POSTCARDS WITH CHIMPANZEES ARE OK TOO, BUT NOT TOO MANY CHIMPS.

You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.

Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

Anyway, ... funny stuff is forever welcome.

WHATEVER! IGNORE THE ABOVE RAMBLINGS, JUST SEND FORTH THY CARDS!

but i DON'T appreciate ad cards. grrrrr.
