You know what I like about LJ? Other than getting my daily (hourly?, by-the-minute?, by-the second?) SPN fixes?

When I was a kid I always liked the idea of Pen Pals. Having people you wrote to all over the world. Learning a little about them and their culture. But there was always the problem of how to find pen pals and then there's the whole long process of writing a letter, mailing it and waiting days/weeks for a reply.

I just realized that's kinda what LJ is like. It's like having pen pals. But without having to go look for them. Without having to wait weeks for responses. And, the cherry on top is that you can target your LJ f-list to people with similar obsessions interests pretty easily.

So that sent me to flickr to search for Pen Pal. I actually found hits!

I love flickr. I'm an image whore. The right image can just make me vibrate. Through my pen pal search I found the artist colorfulexpressions. You really should go check her out here . I especially loved her LETTERING WORDS set found here.

So in the spirit of friendship and pen pals around the world here's a few of her images.

Totally random--but my banner which was AWOL yesterday just decided to come back to me and reappear magically!

(Hey with my mood, I'll take any positive I can get!)
