Delta Dual Pen Pals

[Sponyonye]

So. We're all compatible people, right? Well, why don't we start some sort of pen pal thread?! I have never known an ISTp, and I would really like to find out how it is to converse with one.

Wait, what? Because I started the thread, I have to come up with all the rules? Ah, spare me. Do whatever you want, people. I just want to see some duals getting together for whatever purpose you can conceive of. What shall ye post? If you're anything like me, the following shall be conducive.

A description of yeself.
A list of questions for conversation.

I am waiting to see one of these in every quadra.

(Alternatively, this is a plea to say, if you're an ISTp, I want to be your pen pal. But I guess I should post a description to show why on Internet I would be a good candidate for long drawn-out getting-to-know-each-other-ness. Okay, I'll do that later. Get your socks on because it'll blow your mind. Or not.)

So, now to post and hope that I'm not the only one who thinks this is a cool idea.

EDIT: If you WISH you were delta, you may participate. I'm sorry I was so exclusive. And "pen pal" does not necessarily imply sending letters through the mail. Okay, now go!

[Sponyonye]

I wasn't insinuating anything! Also, I did not say "blah blah blah." You totally misread what I said.

Please, don't let this sentence detract from the innocent intentions I had.

[Sponyonye]

I'm sorry, perhaps I should have said that members from other quadras may participate. I was just worried anarchy would result, and a bunch of ISTj's would come in and pretend to be ISTp's and then call me names when I can't form a coherent paragraph.

If you WISH you were in delta, you may participate. (Geez, I don't like being the rule-bearer. Obey my whims! )

[Sponyonye]

Okay, in case anyone calls me a guy, I should have you know I'm in fact quite female. lol, don't worry about it. I knew it would happen.

And pen pal could include the mode of email, too. I'm flexible. In fact, I guess I meant "e-pal" but that sounds silly and it ruins the alliteration of the title.

[Brilliand]

Here are some rules for you:
-You may only be pen pals with your dual.
-There may not be more non-Deltas than Deltas waiting for pen pals at any given time.

And, in case there's a topic shortage:
You may complain about cats, dogs, robots, turnips, dragons, , or anything else that comes to mind. Please do not compliment , but besides that, dragons, apricots and Mexicans are good targets for blessings. , and zinc are excellent topics for academic discussion.

[Sponyonye]

What a fine addition to the thread you have made! Unfortunately, I don't make friends with apricots. ("You don't make friends with saaa-lad!" Anyone? )

Okay, wait a second, I will try to keep this a serious attempt at meeting a dual. If I meet at least one, this will be a success. So, they need to come out. Oh, when do they come out?

[Brilliand]

Probably when the leaves.

[xyz]

Hi. I'm your dual. What do you want to know?

[Sponyonye]

Um. *suddenly intimidated* I don't know! Why did you have to go and ask such an open-ended question?

[xyz]

I thought you liked open ended questions!
I'm really bad at self descriptions, so, you might have to throw questions at me. I'm in California. You? And I thought we were doing this via email?

[Christy B]

I'm in California.

Yeah!!! CA!!! Me too.

[xyz]

Yeah!!! CA!!! Me too.

What part?

[Sponyonye]

I'm about a million miles away from you, in ol' Ontario, Canada.

Yes, sure, toss me an email. I'll PM you this pertinent information.

I mean, what do I want to know? Where would I ever start? That's the problem. I mostly want to know if ISTp's have the ability to make me laugh through text. That's always quite a feat, though not so much after I've consumed some coffee.

[xyz]

Well, I might not be so good for the laughing parts, why, you get giddy fests after some coffee?

[jewels]

great idea! Everyone should have a delta dual pen pal.

Just to get the ball rolling...Why doesn't everyone post here to start and then anyone dying to PM eachother can do that privately?

1. If you could be any dinosaur, which would you be? Why?
2. What do you like most about where you live?
3. Dogs or cats? neither? or another animal?
4. Favorite candy
5. Why do you like socionics?

[tiny_dancer]

And "pen pal" does not necessarily imply sending letters through the mail.

That's good, 'cause I never remember to mail stuff. But getting something in the mail is AWESOME.

Okay, here are my answers:
1. Pterodactyl...
2. The food. ('Cause the atmosphere SUCKS)
3. I prefer cats 'cause I don't have to give them baths, and if I want to travel, my friends don't have to look in on it as often. But dogs are fun too.
4. Wow, that's a tough one. I'm not really a sugar fiend. I like saltwater taffy, Raisinets, and Milk Duds.
5. lol I'm an ENFp - of course I like something that delves into the reasons people are the way they are.

[Lobo]

Sponyonye, you should have named this thread ENFp-ISTp Pen Pals... Are you aware of the ESTj and INFj shortage?

[force my hand]

Did alpha finally buzz off?

[JuJu]

I'll be yo penpal, you beautiful ISTps..!

Actually, if any of you--ir-regahhdless (as they say around here in Boston) of gender or creed--want to be friends, just PM me... It's been fun to get to know some of you guys this way, and I love to make new friends... I can tell by some of the posts here that a bunch of us would be friends in 'real life.'

[xyz]

So many nice ENFps to choose from

[Creepy-bg]

Did alpha finally buzz off?

alpha is like herpes... we may not be in your face all the time but we're always here waiting

Buzz off.

Seriously, we're out of place here. Our presence is interfering, let's keep to threads that aren't so sensitive.

[meatburger]

Shhhh deltas. Be werry werry quiet.. If we are noisy we will attract alphas.

[UDP]

Mwa ha ha, I have already spoken with just about every EII on the forum, or, they have contacted me before I them.

[xyz]

Assuming they're your dual?

[UDP]

Assuming you give a damn?

[xyz]

Assuming I do!

[xyz]

(He wants you to be his pen pal, be nice.)

(Oh I see... why doesn't he just ask me already? )

[xyz]

(Cause you intimidate him... )

(*sigh* Why me.)

UDP why don't you send me a letter first, guy.

[Sponyonye]

Yeah, so you all better be PMing each other galore and all.

Because I'm watching you.

Can't tell how, can't tell why.

But I am.

Ah, I see there's some banter going on in my thread. That makes me happy. Please, continue.
