Other Voices-a Curefriends penpalling community's Journal (original) (raw)

| | Friday, March 6th, 2009 1:36 pm - Intro cherepaxa Hello Everyone! I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I don't believe that I subscribed to other_voices, but I was very active in the penpal community throughout high school & actually still swap today. I found this group via the Facebook group, and I was quite surprised that a few people actually were looking for me there. Back in the day, I went by the pen name Rabid Child (after the TMBG song) and lived in Oakdale, NY. I recognize quite a few of your names, but I must admit that my memory is fuzzy! I've been penpalling since 1989-1990, and have met quite a few people along the way.So, Hopefully I'll stumble upon some old friends!! Nice to meet you all :) (9 comments | comment on this) Friday, February 27th, 2009 3:13 pm - Anyone else... Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 12:04 pm - stumbling down memory lane. dynamine wow.so, my name is kat, i'm about to turn 35, and i was a mad penfriender from 1987-1995ish. for the entirety of my penpalling, i went by my middle name mary. since i am old, and somewhat decrepit, i have the most terrible time remembering all the people i wrote to....ahhhh....i used to use the back pages of smash/star hits and the lovely other voices.people i remember writing to:audrey/mistress morgana from CAramsey simon from CAantoinette schindler from NYjoseph/drowning man from NYkristine from matawan, NJpaisley zenobia from NJbrigid gergen from TXklea owens from CAroland from CAi know there's about a million more....but gah. i just can't jog my memory. i know i wrote to a tatiana once, but i don't think we actually kept up correspondence.miss brigid and i wrote for several years, and she published a tiny zine called delilahs eyes. if this is familiar to anyone, do say hello.current mood: nostalgic (9 comments | comment on this) Sunday, February 15th, 2009 11:49 am Saturday, February 14th, 2009 10:59 pm - Fixed photos!

I could have sworn I had more than these, but I guess not. I have issues 26-32. So far I've scanned the addy pages from 26, but I won't be able to finish the rest tonite before bed. (Damn work!)Just wanted to let you guys know what I had, and that I'll post the pics soon! :)current mood: tired (comment on this) Sunday, February 8th, 2009 8:11 pm - Hullo... heycookie My name's Elisabeth, I'm 32 years old, and I live in Dixon, Illinois. From approximately 1989-1995 I had many pen pals (including several from Curefriends), and I would love to hear from any of them. Unfortunately, I seem to have a severe case of "Thirtysomething Alzheimer's" because I can't really recall any of my old pen-names or most of the names of people that I wrote to (I most often went by my nickname Elis, though).However, I did recognize the name Hyacinthe Raven in the community user info and remembered that we used to write, so I think there's a good chance I would remember someone as soon as I saw their name. ^^;A few of the names I do remember are Marian Mercy (possibly from Massachusetts), Claudine from New Orleans, Brandi Lucero from California (she was my first-ever Curefriends pal!), Michelle from Oregon (who actually came to visit with a friend of hers), Skye from Texas (I think?), Alicia in New Mexico or Arizona, and Holly from Michigan. That is really just the tip of the iceberg. I wish my memory wasn't so bad. :(Anyway, if anyone remembers writing to me, or thinks we may have written, please get in touch with me. I'm sorry I can't remember more details from back then, but honestly...how many people were doing the pen-pal/fb/tape-trading thing in Dixon, IL back then? I'm thinking not too many, so if you remember writing someone in Dixon during that time period, it was very likely me. ^^; I'm also on facebook and myspace, and can be reached at either of them as well as here on LJ.Thanks! ^_^current mood: nostalgic (7 comments | comment on this) Sunday, January 25th, 2009 4:56 pm Friday, January 9th, 2009 2:40 pm autumn_elph Hi all! I've been away from lj for a LONG time since i joined this community. So i'll dare be indulgent and ask....Did anyone write to me back in "the day" (early to mid 90's).. I used the name Despair, Birdmad girl but more consistantly Autumn Rain.... (from brampton/toronto ON Canada)there are a few lovely souls in particular i'd love to reconnect with, even just to say hello! Peaceful thoughts, Autumn Rain ps. i was never a member of other voices...it sounded lovely. (8 comments | comment on this) Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007 12:38 pm - x-posted. Thursday, April 26th, 2007 6:43 pm - our myspace site: batvomit I don't know how many of you still pay attention, as this is quite the inactive community, but we have a myspace mirror site maintained by the lovely omiewise. I would like to encourage all of you to please check it out: OtherVoicesAlso, in the effort to make this a bit more of an active community, is there anyone interested in being a moderator? Preferably it'd be someone with a bit more time on their hands and someone who (unlike myself) does not have ADD.current mood: calm (comment on this) Friday, March 30th, 2007 6:17 pm - aus_penpals raindropfairies Hi. :) I’ve just created a new community, aus_penpals. The main purpose is for people living in Australia to find others as penpals and swap partners. Check it out, and feel free to introduce yourself there. xp http://community.livejournal.com/aus\_penpals/ I hope this is allowed. :] (comment on this) Friday, December 1st, 2006 3:11 pm - FB overload hyacintheraven Hi everyone!I have just been blessed with a box full of FBs that need some love!

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006 9:58 pm fleurdumal Once upon a time I was one of those 'sad' teenagers, who spent most of my time looked up in a bedroom scribbling letters, poems and stories.Now, in the age of IT, I miss the touch of paper somehow and if there is anyone who feels the same I would be happy to exchange letters and possibly mixed cds/tapes too.I'm a 26-year-old Curefan, into indie and goth, who also likes drama (acting/writing/directing), travelling and lots more.For more info check out my info page.../Emma (3 comments | comment on this) Tuesday, November 29th, 2005 2:20 pm - give me the bye on this one ok? omiewise After a few days at the parents house with skd1976, we ended up going through stuff which lead to theunearthing of even more f.b.'s ..The prize this time was that i found a lj friend alyssa_corinne amongst the pplers, though i didn't know her at the time.I loved the back page of the f.b. and thought i would spread a little old school love and invite you to the same in the comments section.
