project mail-a-thon results 1 & 2

if you're a regular reader of my blog, you will remember the original post found here for project mail-a-thon, which was basically borne out of the idea that i don't get much real mail sometimes, and hey, i like real mail.

the gist of the project was this:
"i will mail you something cool within one week of recieving your address. this cool thing will be a surprise. the object of the mail-a-thon is to send happiness. yes, happiness. how cool. you will also, at this time (within one week), also mail me some happiness. i would like that. i like mail. i like happiness

when you recieve your happiness in the mail, you must post an entry on your blog that reports your happiness, has a link-back to http://mikao.blogspot.com, and post the original instructions.

you will then mail happiness to others who request that you do so via your blog.

but, you may still be left with one question... how exactly do i mail someone happiness? well dears, that is going to have to be something you figure out. i am guessing it will be distinctive to each person.

cool, huh?"

the results

well, a little while ago i got the first results in from project mail-a-thon, from the lovely rebecca. rebecca sent me a lovely card along with 2 ikea postcards inside with a little bit about how her best friend lives where there is an ikea but there aren't any where she lives. i think most females share a fondness for ikea. very cool. ;) i especially love the painting on the card. right now i don't have it with me so i can't tell you who the artist is, but i love it. thank you so much rebecca, you're fabulous!

and last week i got my second piece of mail from project mail-a-thon. jake went over and above what i was expecting and sent me a little package including a nice note, a Fayetteville, Arkansas visitor's guide (should come in handy if i'm ever in fayetteville ;) ), an arkansa postcard, a university of arkansas grad school key chain, a fort lewis college skyhawks car window sticker, and a personalizable arkansas liscence plate. he didn't know it, but i actually have quite a few of those liscence plates, but no arkansas ones, so that was especially cool and enjoyable. it was neat to see a little bit of the place he lives. thank you again jake, you're awesome!

so, that is my report. i don't think anyone has gotten what i've sent yet (sorry... i was a little late getting things out), but i do hope you like what you get. :)
