Vegan penpals!

So, I've noticed how all our profiles have a little section about what we're here for - friendship, penpals and so on. Back in the day, dear vegans, I used to be quite the correspondant. The other day I was considering reviving my old hobby of letter-writing, and what better place to start than here?

I personally love getting mail, usually all that drops through my door are bank statements or letters from my university. Here's the plan. You guys fill in the form below if you want to correspond with someone, and hopefully we can engineer some penpal matches. I figure if you're a subscriber you can contact people directly via message; if not you can arrange swapping email addresses and then, if it takes your fancy, postal addresses.

Mirrya you have a kitty named Pooh too! AA wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I love that kitty name  :)>>>

Ahh...the cat's name is not because of Winnie the Pooh.  My twin gave her the name Missy but the first few times I saw her she was still learning how to use the litter pan and always had poop on her paws so I nicknamed her Poo and that's the name she responded to.

What would everyone think about a list getting compiled of all the people who would like to be penpals (like with addresses..e:mail and street, hobbies..etc) to get the ball rolling for everyone.  If this sounds like a good idea to you all...I'll volunteer to gather the info by private message and then send out (by pm too) so nobody's contact information is on public display.
