I don't really have anyone's address that lives far enough away for me to write. Most of my peoples is around here. I did however recently try to send a note to my friend, for free. I tried the trick where you don't put a stamp on it, and you put your address as the mailing address, and your friends address as the return. They're supposed to return it to him, since it doesn't have a stamp, but instead they just sent it to me. Which I guess was nice, but totally ruined my plan of sending him a note that said "You suck, fat boy! hahahaha"

We did this a lot as kids, but in order for it to work, it's smarter to put a fake address as the mailing address, then there's no choice for them but to send it to the return address.
