Hi interwebs <3

I’ve realized over the quarantine that I am missing letter writing and emailing for other things than admin and university related subjects. Maybe you’d love to do that too? I am a 28 year old Danish female student living in Copenhagen Denmark and I’d love to gain friends from all over the world. I study plant and food science and I’ve always loved the international aspect of my field -I rarely have a class which is only attended by Danish students. 

I have many interests and hobbies, but the main one must be reading. I read so many different genres ranging from nonfictional textbook science to classics to fantasy to horror to poetry to autobiographies and more.  I love watching tv shows on Netflix with my boyfriend, playing games on steam and playstation (an old favorite is Spyro) and scrabble, movies are a passion not fleeting entertainment, I try dabbling in photography with my instax mini and painting following youtube tutorials. Paradoxically I haven’t read any Austen novels yet, but I’ve seen most of the adaptations and would love to discuss them. I also love languages and am trying to strengthen my German and French, but would love to learn more, like Russian, Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese to name a few. One day I will be able to play the piano at a satisfactory level, which won’t give the same feeling like nails scratching a blackboard. 

I think it would be so cool to write actual letters by snail mail but I am also open to emailing :) Please message me or reply to this post, if you would like to write with me <3 Everyone is welcome

The perfect way to express yourself

Welcome

After speaking with a colleague, it came to light that each of us had spent some time in our respective childhoods in online communication with older men. “Creepy older men,” more specifically. While I have long been aware of the effects these interactions with strange men who were sometimes three times my senior have had on me (and my relationships with-- surprise!-- men), I have not known many individuals who have shared in this same experience. My sister, for one, and a close childhood friend, but other than those women, who? Who else is out there, now in her twenties or thirties, reading these words and thinking, “This happened to me, too,”?

I’m seeking connection and healing. Maybe you are as well. I have intense unresolved feelings. Maybe we can help each other.

While I recognize (and grieve) the fact that this kind of interaction can and does still occur today, I am especially looking for women (and men, but particularly women, sheerly because I am one) who were using the internet in the late 1990s or early 2000s and were in semi-frequent or frequent contact with at least one older male (or female) in a way that was abusive or inappropriate. I am interested in those of us who were online back in the “Wild West” days, before the public (and our parents) had an accurate perception of the potential of the World Wide Web as a tool for communication and connection.

I will provide a template a-la those blog-style surveys generated and filled out in the late 90s/early 2000s. Feel free to fill it out and send it to me anonymously to be posted here. Or not. If you want to share your experiences, this is the place. I’ll probably also be posting stories that make me feel good, and pictures of stuff that I like. 

If you do not meet the above criteria but have experienced a similar situation or are currently experiencing one-- I am here for advice, and I will post any “asks” to the blog if the asker requests. I will not post anything sent to me without the written permission of the writer/sender, so if you want or are OK with your story and/or questions being published here, please say so.

I guess since no one was home they hid the box under the mat? It might have worked better with a smaller package. #you'vegotmail

Sunday evening

The only thing to do on a Sunday night is to eat homemade gingerbread cookies, drink a cup of Celestial Seasoning sleepy time vanilla tea, and watching my all-time favourite movie: You’ve Got Mail.

#1. YOU’VE GOT MAIL is one of the greatest 1990’s film I’ve ever watched. There’s a combination of like and hate feeling in the story. Kathleen and Joe met in a very spontaneous way….. through INTERNET! Kaya sobrang unexpected din ng love story nila. HAHAHA! Not knowing na kung sino pa yung sobrang hate na hate nila sa personal, eh yun naman pala yung sobrang pinagsasabihan nila ng problema through chat. And si Kathleen, sa sobrang pagka-hate nya kay Joe, hindi pa din nya natago yung totoong feelings nya. At buti nalang din na-torpe si Joe sa umpisa at hindi muna umamin agad. Kung hindi, nako, hindi nakakakilig yung ending kasi hindi na surprise eh hahahahaha! So ayun, sobrang galing lang ng way ng pagkaka-develop nila sa isa’t isa. From strangers to rivals (sa bookstore business) then to close friends and to lovers! At nakakakilig lang din talaga ang love team nila Meg Ryan at Tom Hanks. Bagay kasi sila! HAHAHAHA! ♥♥♥

PS: Bagay na bagay to sa generation ngayon lalo na sa mga mahilig makipag-chat. Kaya pag may naka-chat ka at hindi mo pa name-meet, nako! Wag kang mawalan ng pag-asa. Malay mo diba. HAHAHAHA! Pero wag ka umasa. Baka masaktan ka lang. HAHAHAHAHA JOKE.

"You’ve heard about “inbox zero”—the mythical creature that some people swear they’ve seen and who the rest of us, in our heart of hearts, know doesn’t exist. I have never been able to achieve inbox zero for more than a few minutes without “declaring email bankruptcy” (when you write a mass email to the hundreds of people you’ve failed to responded to, apologetically (or unapologetically) stating that you’re deleting/archiving their unread correspondence), but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped trying. After years of experimentation, I’ve come up with a system that has allowed me, for about year, to keep my inbox under 20 at all times (which is an outrageous accomplishment, as previously it always hovered between 300-500). My system may not be one size fits all, but there are some things I’ve implemented that I think could truly work for anyone and help you unbury yourself from massive piles of email."
