Stamps Order

Since I took my job, I found it much more convenient to order stamps online, weight them at home (with an electronic kitchen scale - it's more better than mechanical ones) and mail them. Above you can see a pic of the latest set I've ordered:
  • On top: "Marie Curie" stamps. These were released to celebrate 2011 as the international year of chemistry.
  • below: the "Post images from France" booklet. those stamps show different famous sites of France and are made for letters up to 20g to be sent worldwide.
  • The stamps with the leaves are simply about forests. To be frank, I have no clue if they were released on a special occasion or not.
  • And all the others are Marianne stamps of different values: I usually use them as an addition to the beautiful themed ones, to reach the right amount.

I was writing letters to an American girl with whom I was sharing an interest for fashion and supermodels. One day, in a letter, she told me she was bisexual and she seemed really scared to admit it. I replied normally to her letter, making it clear that it wasn't a problem for me. I also told her that I was happy she decided to talk about something so intimate, that it must have been difficult for her... As you can i...
