I've always wanted a pen pal. I've never had too many friends and the thought of writing to someone in a far off land always appealed to me. Why did I never do it? Partially laziness. I didn't know how to find a pen pal.
Now this isn't really a pen pal thing, but it's kind of close, so I was very excited to be a part of it.
And how cool is it that my Boston partner is awesome?
