cosmolinguistThe nice thing about international mail, besides the exotic postage and the possibility of labels in more than one language, is that even if your friend tells you you're getting something, it takes long enough to get here that I can forget about it and still be surprised.
Such is the case with the package I got today from the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_newham. In return for the much-overdue Stuart Davis CD I finally sent her this spring, she sent me cool things in return: I got a little notebook with cartoon musicians on the cover (she said she was "looking for something bassoony," and indeed, one of the pictures is of a bassoonist) and a comic she drew which I enjoyed very much--and now I see where some of her user icons come from, as well! She also told me her phone number and offered to let me sleep on her futon if stealthmunchkin turns out to be a murdering rapist or something equally difficult to live with.
Also, she can tell the future! The letter, which was written May ninth, says "If you want to get in touch when you're in England (for you will be in England soon, oh yes)..." and, way back then, it was far from a certainty in my mind. But it has been proven true! My friends are impressive.
