Postcard Hunting for Martin Freeman
Jan. 31st, 2012 11:59 pmSo I live in a large metropolitan area which is unfortunately not known for its tourist attractions. We have some things, sure, like theme parks and historical areas and sports teams, but not that many, and none that are easily accessible to me.
About three years ago I could walk into any Wal-Mart and see a big rack of postcards for about 10 cents each at the front of the store. I know because I enjoy sending mail to my friends and believe it is an under-utilized form of art, really. (Also, I took a lot of time in school perfecting my handwriting, and it pains me that I so rarely get to write things down and show it off!)
I like sending mail; I love the BBC’s Sherlock, and hence I adored
slodwick’s idea for fandom to send Martin Freeman postcards (which I discovered via
emmagrant01) letting him know through his agency how much we love and appreciate him since he is made of kittens.
My only challenge lay in actually finding a postcard, and that was a much bigger challenge than I had anticipated.
( My tale of postcard-hunting woe. )
I’ll mail it tomorrow, but for now—Martin Freeman, I hope you appreciate the effort I put forth to get this to you! :D
EDIT: Okay, it’s in the mail! Who’s next, fandom? Benedict Cumberbatch? (Yup. Address is here.)
EDIT 2: SQUEEING!!
