Letters
I heard this morning on the radio that the price of stamps might be going up. Well that sucks, I thought. And then laughed. Because I never use stamps, anyway.
I don’t know when the last time I sent a letter was. E-mail is a lot easier, and if not that, then a MySpace or Facebook message would work just as well. And in these cases, the message would be sent instantly, without having to wait a day or two for a physical letter to arrive.
If you don’t want to take the time to type out an e-mail/message, you could just pick up a phone. So how many people still send out real letters?
I’m not talking about the icky stuff, the bills, magazine subscriptions, grades, etc. How many people actually send out personal letters? I don’t. I usually don’t think about letters at all, actually. But at the mention of stamps, I started to. Wouldn’t it be dreadfully cool to get a personal letter in the mail? Especially since no one these days ever expects them anymore.
I’m rambling. But I think that I’m going to write a letter sometime. And send it to … well, someone.
But I’ll do that after I finish the school day, go to rehearsal, finish my homework, and get some motivation.
And after I figure out where the stamp goes.
