Would you believe I have had a pen pal, one whom I write actual letters to, since I was twelve? We were matched by a children's magazine years ago and we never stopped writing. I consider her one of my closest friends. She lives near Columbus Ohio, which isn't an insurmountable distance, but we have only ever met in person once.

Procrastination is one of my worst habits. I try to counteract it with to-do lists and finding ways to make tasks I don't want to do more bearable. For example, I listen to podcasts while housecleaning.
