I have one, a tad occultish, but fun!  When I was a little girl I once read a 
poorly fact-checked article that claimed that Chaplin was born April 18.  For some reason I felt that there had to be some cosmic kinship with him, as my birth
day is the same.  Perhaps we could tell each other the times and dates of birth
and do our horoscopes and check for similarities and differences?

Also, a little problem or quirk...I was born five hours before GMT, but according to GMT I'm still born April 18th,  What of those people who were born on 
April 18th their time when it was either April 17th or 19th GMT?

Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX

Hi Everyone,

My name is Tony and I currently attend the University of Texas at Austin,
majoring in International Business, with a concentration in marketing and
Japanese. If y'all remember my posting from about 1 1/2 months ago, I said
I really enjoy travelling and meeting people worldwide. After that post, my
mailbox was flooded with mail from friendly people all over the world!!! It
was so exhilirating to know that not ONLY females get all the e-mail.

Anyways, since I will be graduating very soon, UT policy is that you lose your
account when you are no long affiliated with the university. So, I'm looking for
people to write to via snail mail. I promise that I will reply to everyone who
writes to me (male or female), and if they would like a postcard from Austin
I would be more than happy to send them one...as long as you send me one in
return! :)

Well, what I'm looking for are people who would like to share their travel
experiences or talk about culture and the way of life. Also, people who are
free thinkers are encouraged to write, as I have many many philosophies I would
like to converse about. Or, if you just want to write and talk about how life
is treating you, please do so as well! 

The types of things I enjoy: travelling, learning languages, poetry (T.S.Eliot)
moonlit walks by the seaside (ok, we only have lakes here), singing in the 
shower, bathroom literature, drinking cappuccino at the local cafes, late-night
dinners with friends, staying up late, and dreaming.
 
If I were to describe myself with one word, I would say a "rose." The reason?
Because I'm innately kind and gentle, yet with thorns which can cut. Perennial
and ethereal, my leaves may fall sometimes, but the petals will always bloom
again, to face the sun and smile at the tears.

Well, if you would like to write, please send me e-mail so I can send you my
home address, as I am quite wary of posting it worldwide! Hope to here from
y'all soon, till then, KEEP SMILING!!!

Regards,
Tony

P.S. About myself: brown hair/eyes, 5'9", 155 pounds, Chinese (with a dab of

    If anyone out there is interested, please call!  E-mail would probably

Well I saw a stydy of major european cities somewhere where there
were compared different european cities with different factors
like:
-the bicycle roads
-air pollution
-places at kindergarten
-park hectares
-hospital beds
-square metres per inhabitants in the appartements
-sports and recreation areas
etc.


I do not remember all the factors but the factors were bound
with the quality of life. The minimum size of the cities were
500 000 inhabitants.

The number ones were the Nordic capitals Stockholm,Helsinki,Oslo,
Copenhagen.(The survay were not made by the nordics btw.)

On the bottom there were for instance Thessalonika,Manchester,
Neaples,many French and British cities.

Better did Swiss,Austrian and German cities. In the survay there
were not XSU cities.

We can always argue which should be the correct factors for such
a comparison but I still believe that scandinavian cities "beat" most
of the rest in Europe regarding the quality of life.

(Do You Wanna!  8-) ).
I recently graduated from the University of Toronto (Ph.D. in Chemical
Engineering), and need to go on this vacation before I start my new job

alpine skiing and listen to most types of music (except RAP!!!).
I've been to the San Diego area before, since I have lots of relatives

Hi,
   I'm a 38 year old single male who made the decision long ago that I 
never wanted to have children.  Actually, to be honest, if I went the rest 
of my life without having to interact with people under the age of 18, or 
so, I wouldn't feel like I was missing out on anything (I realize this is 
a somewhat extreme view). 
   I'd be interested in corresponding with other people who have made this 
choice, and how it affects their life.  Some of the issues I've come 
across are:

      - What do you do about dating?  Is there any compromise possible if 
the other person feels differently.  Also, in my age range it's hard to 
find 
women who feel the same (ticking biological clocks)

      - Is this choice still perceived as negative and/or selfish?

      - How to deal with all your friends that do have kids

      - dating someone with kids

There's probably a lot more things to talk about.  I'd be happy to share 
some of my ideas with you.   Please feel free to e-mail

  Did you know that Santa was born in Upper Slobovia! His parents...Mr and Mrs

when the Greenhouse effect started killing Mrs Claus' prize Daffodils!
Just to clear things up...the North Pole is that little white fuzzy thing on

Yah well okay the word "hipster" kinda makes me gag to...but I have to get yer

few people in the area but want to make more pals to show me the sights, steer
me in the direction of "happening" comic shops, record stores and clubs (btw
I'm non cig-smoker/non drinker/social drugs...uh huh)

The highlight of the trip will be meeting thee great writer Crad Kilodney, with
whom I chat on the phone occaisonaly and collect his writings. I also hope to
meet Chester Brown (author of Yummy Fur...but YOU knew that, right?) and
seriously check out your bookstores. I write a book column called subtext for
Discorder, that magazine from UBC. My profession is, wait for it, a telephone
operator -- a tres glamourous job to say the least -- anyhow it pays great and
keeps me out of trouble. Oh yeh, I'm married, so there will be zilch hanky
panky going on during my trip...even tho he'll stay at home.

Our big trip as a "couple" next year will be to NYC, in the early Fall. First
time so we're pretty excited. Er, anyone from New York reading this?
I'm thinking of hitting T.O. possibly around March or April...when does the
weather start to clear up? I will most likely be staying with friends of my
folks who are "as old as God" but quite sweet and living right in the city. So
there you go...I'm not hitting you up for a place to stay...just looking for
someone to show me around for a day of so during the trip. Maybe keep me posted
to any bands coming that I'd want to know about (does Alex Chilton ever play?)
BTW, I'm also interested in trading tape through the mail. My interests are
varied. Let's see: just picked up the new Beat Happening, Eno, seeing Pavement
next week, dig Chet Baker, Scrawl, Big Star is the bestest, Jesus and Mary
Chain, Gawd help me I even like the new U2 - tho I'll nevah see 'em live.
That's a start. Hey...I'm sure lots of folks'll read this post...but I'm
looking for that response from the right person/people...write me, 'kay?
