No. I was actually considering celebrating the Asian/Korean New Year, which is January 31st. Because I am Korean (but adopted-- so VERY AMERICAN). And because I like to send/receive mail and think it would be culturally productive to do research into it and then celebrating accordingly.

I'm finally back in town and settled. I came home to a lot of cards! Thanks Aunt Buck, Shenanigansluck, IMJack, Marlowe, mysa09, DLAO, lamb, and Dancer! I really appreciate it. Y'all made my desk look so festive!


All the cards (staying up until the semester starts so I can enjoy them a little longer)


All the fun goodies! Y'all are too sweet. (I am putting my former watchmaking skills to use trying to fold up all those tiny Animal Crossing envelopes so I can send tiny letters. Thanks lamb!)

Hopefully all my cards have arrived or are at least almost there. I'm looking forwards to bombarding everyone with pink cards come February.

Xmas goonmail arrives NYE.

Thank you lamb for the Goontidings and Gruss von krampus card.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Genesplicer for the cozy wishes and concern for my venomous animal friends, it was 40deg C on Sunday. Is everything in America loud and annoying?

I will send more goonmail this next year. I still dont know if my codified postcards made it. Anyway I'll stuff some pubes in an envelope and mail it out soon. Someone may even get some cut Zircons.

I received a bunch of xmas cards from friendly goons! Thank you!

Unfortunately ive been swamped (getting married on 9th of jan) so i didn't send any of my own in time. So they will be arriving late.. :doh:

Actually, i have a bit of backlog of cards that i haven't replied to, but i definitely will! I have a bunch of cool cards that i want to sent out, when i have a bit of time :)

Just got back to my apartment after being out of town to a mailbox full of goon love!
Thank you lamb, shenanigansluck, mysa09 (I love penguins!!), Team Lunch, IMJack, DLAO (I actually got my name from a piggy bank in my room so you were 100% correct on thinking that's where it came from.), and Stuffins.
I intend on doing a Vday swap so I will have to amp up my game for that.

Greetings from Isla Mujeres, Mexico! I made it to the post office this morning with postcards for DLAO, stuffins, Senior Scarybagels, and The Schwa. Did I miss anyone who had asked?? Speak up now. I'm getting lazier by the day.

I sent new cards to you goons listed above. Frankly, the ones I sent first were pretty but kind of boring. I found more interesting ones so I sent those.

I also sent postcards to mysa09 and shananaginsluck today.

I have to go now. My brain is mush from all the daiquiris and lazing about. Hope I remember how to, like, get to the airport and stuff.

Just a heads up for everyone who is new to the thread, in years past there has been a Valentines Day exchange separate from this thread, but rest assured that we keep on keepin on all year long. I for one am quite excited for 2014 goon mail.

I feel like the worlds biggest jerk. I went and dug out my Valentine's Day box and found a stack of envelopes sealed and addressed but obviously never got sent out 2 years ago. I opened a few and there was a thank you card stuck in Team Lunch's and Niemat's card from when they had sent Jill(the cat) a get well card. :cry:

I got Christmas goon mail from Mizufusion and Lamb and letters from PitGoddess, DLAO, and Lamb! I sent out a bunch of reply mail today, :woop:

:siren: Special request. My youngest brother (who is also a goon, still lurking like a good nooblet) is going through some stuff right now and I think some surprise goonmail would lift his spirits. He's 21 and goony (video games, anime, machinma, ren faire, etc.). If you're up for sending him something:

I'm shamefully behind on mail, so I need to say a generic thank you right now to all the wonderful goons who have sent me mail these past couple weeks. Thanks, everyone!! You're all fantastic and each piece of mail made my day!! :3: I'll prepare a list and a better thank you shortly--I just wanted everyone to know I didn't die, and I did get your mail!

You know, I do not want much in life. Health for me and my family, a reliable income for comfortable living and to be named in the goonmail thread. I checked my post history to see if my address was still in and I am consistently named as "The nice card that cannot be deciphered". It is something I will have to learn to deal with. As a heads up to everyone else, if you receive a card that is unreadable, you can more or less assume it is from me. (In this case I checked if I indeed send The Schwa mail :) )

I've gotten a bunch of christmas cards, so I'd like to thank Mr. and Ms. Genesplicer, Lady Flash (those glitter stars are covering my couch now), Shenanigansluck, marlowe can you go, nonpromqueen and lamb for warming my heart in this frozen wasteland they call Finland.

I was going to send out cards as well, but due to me being a broke loser, I couldn't afford to. :smith: I'll try to send some on the next holiday.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone who has written me these last several months. I appreciate it! I'm staying off the list for now because there is no way I can keep up with responses but I am sending out a few belated letters. Glad to see this thread is still going strong and is gaining more new posters.

Hey lamb, I see you've updated the address list, but haven't changed my address (posted it a few pages back). It's not a problem at all, since my parents live there and I'll get it eventually, but it would be awesome if you could take care of it next time you update your site :).

So you don't have to hunt it down again:

I can take you off if you want, but sending cards back is not a condition of participating. As long as you post intermittently in the thread you can stay on.
