sometimes I come up with bad ideas, but think they are good at first.

So let me run this one by you, and tell me if it sounds stupid: I’m thinking about creating an anonymous myspace account to start pen-pal type relationships with random people online. I would be unknown. I would put a disclaimer on my profile and just start messaging people. Does that sound creepy, strange, or otherwise like a bad idea?

I think you’d be better off finding a site devoted to pen-pal-ship, because together people discover how things work better than by ourselves.

That’s not a terrible idea but it could be improved upon. Myspace is a dying social network so I don’t know how much luck you’d have with finding people on that site. I’m going to have to agree with the previous comment.

Here is a site just for pen pals

Yeah, go with a pen pal website. Or just do it. Y’know, why not? See how much people respond.
