o.o....Everyday I wake up, go to check mail, go back to bed (if it's too early), this may happen up to fifteen times... (I live in a university residence, checking mail=sitting up)

Last week I only got 3 letters, and they all came on monday. It depressed me for the 4 other days....

I'm hopeing to get mail this monday or tuesday (I'm leaving wednesday, and all mail i receive aftewr that will be returned to sender, I've prepared, but I'm still waiting on some letters to arrive)
I <3 Mail...

Once i started collecting, i also started to love checking the mail. I am very excited when I check the mail, because I used to never get anything. but now I do. Not very often since i'm pretty new, but I LOVE MAIL! I'm w/ ya!! I'm always very hppy to get home from school, and ask my mom if i got anything. the only day i really check the mail myself, is on saturaday, and i'm sad there is know mail on sunday :(

Thanks to this hobby I'm freakishly obsessed with the mail and all things related to the post office. :lol:

I´m not so bad anymore. My first autographs came in 2002. And I have had couple of breaks and then I started again.
I also managed very well. I wasn´t part of any of these collection sites. :) I also wait for the mail, but when I don´t get any autogrpahs ( only bills) I just think, damn, maybe tomorrow :D

I have had around 30 penplas when I was 12, 13, 14 years old so I got 10 letters on some days (all of them were from Slovenia and usually we replied to each other the same day as we got the letter :D Crazy! Luckily postage was not so expensive), I remember once coming back from holiday and there were like 30 letters waiting for me. Great feeling! ;) So that's when I started to enjoy getting mail and that continued and it still does :) Yea, I love getting letters! I love checking mail and I hate when there's nothing for me or just a bill for my parents (because when seeing a white envelope I always get excited an d I am always VERY disappointed when finding out it's just a bill)...

Haha, I love coming home from school and heading to the mailbox now, whenever I get an envelope that's addressed to me I get all excited lol.

When I received my Jeff Dunham autograph I pulled it out, went through the mail on top of it and when I got to the big white envelope I saw my name and smiled figuring it was an autograph, I then looked at the return address and became confused, I didn't recognize the name or address, but I looked back to my name again, and sadly it took me this long to realize that was my hand writing and that the only white envelope I sent out was to Jeff Dunham. I walked back to the house very very very quickly. I love these little freak out sessions when getting the mail!
