Strange Mail

Áine on April 27th, 2004 filed in General

I’ve just opened my postal mail and I’m sitting here a bit baffled. The envelope comes to me from Dublin, Ireland… University of Dublin, Trinity College, with an Irish postal cancellation stamp in the upper right corner, so I know it’s come all the way across the sea to reach me. This is a flyer advertising their Master of Philosophy degree in Irish Art History. Now, the strange part about this piece of mail is that it is addressed to my online/pen name. There is no street address, in fact there’s a stamp on the envelope that says “Insufficient Address.” I’ve only just moved here about a year ago. The people in this town… they don’t know me, they don’t know my online name either… and yet, here it is, arrived in my postal box. How? I haven’t a clue. But I do find it interesting.

Sounds like the setting for a good good novel.

Now I’m beginning to wonder if I’m the only Irish person around, so “she must be it” or something. LOL
