Have you ever done Postcrossing before? The idea of creating a website in which postcard lovers from all over the world can exchange postcards is ground-breakingly brilliant, so much so that I had to join in on the fun. You create an account and have to send one postcard before you're entitled to receive one from a random stranger. It's a good system to ensure no users abuse the website. Anyway, I just sent my first Postcrossing postcard to a random Tatiana of Russia. Conveniently, I purchased two postcards from Barnes & Noble for that reason; one with an aerial view of the Inner Harbor and the other is of my workplace's building (I sent that home for mom and dad to see). Then again, you can say I have simply nothing better to do or you can be nicer by saying that I am as curious as a cat with seven lives. (What ever happened to the previous two lives, no one knows.)
A new user can send up to five postcards at a time. However tempting it was to maximize the exchange, I restricted myself to just one at a time for now. I'll send another only when I've received one. That would ensure I don't donate my entire savings to the bookstore. Ah, yet a likely thing as its location is but a stone's throw away from here.
Such an illusion,
