HI,  I work the Midnight Shift at my school, Western Connecticut State
University and since it's mostly boring as heck on midnights when everyone
else is asleep, I'd kill for some interesting EMail.  

I'm especially looking for people who are legally blind or totally blind
(yes it IS possible to use a computer if your blind  I'M LIVING PROOF)!!  
who might be interested in talking with someone who is visually
handicaped.  

I am also interested in talking with anyone who's a dispatcher (Police
Dispatcher or in like field since that is what I do here on the midnight
shift.  

I'll do my best to respond to all friendly penpal requests I promise 

                             Bill

I guess that it was obvious enought that I am in search of a pen-pal.
Here goes.  I would like to correspond with someone who likes to shoot the
bull but also likes to hold in intellectual conversation also.  I like to
talk about anything.  My major, your major, the world, the way you look
when you wake up in the morning.  Just about anything.  The only thing
that is a neccessity (I know that I can't spell) is that you have an open
mind.  I am fairly open minded, not so much that my brain will fall out
when my head tips over but enought that I can't handle someone being out
of the norm.  If there is such a thing.  Anyone is welcome to reply...any
race/creed/nationality/etc..., any sexual orientation, any age, either
sex, just whoever is interested.

This is probably fairly bland and boring for a request for a pen-pal but
relpy and see what you get.  If you like, wonderful.  If not, sorry.

Hope to be hearing from you.

Hi everyone,

This is a posting directed to anyone in either IRELAND or RUSSIA who might be
interested in being either an email or postal penpal.

Firstly, about me:

I'm a 23 year old male who is quite well read in a wide range of literature. I
have an especially strong passion for most of the Irish poets and novelists,
spanning several centuries.

I'm the sort of guy who actually memorizes poems (I can hear a collective sigh
of "Aww, how adorable" in the cyber-space) and likes to read them aloud. The
greatest influences in my life have been James Joyce, Albert Camus, Dylan
Thomas, Franz Kafka, and on...

I like to write, prose mostly, and I am quite a prolific letter writer.

I'm a movie-goer in the most basic sense. I see just about everything that
comes out. I'm an enormous fan of Scorsese/De Niro pictures and actually
collect them on Video Laser Disc.

My interest in Russian penpals comes from both a curiosity to know more about
what life is like there right now, and an opportunity to continue to use what
little Russian I know. I would love to have the chance to help out, if I can,
anyone in Russia who is in need of a Western contact. I don't know if such
things are still helpful, or if they ever really were. Suffice to say, it's the
nurturing part of me coming out!

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for myself.


My postal address is:

     Marc North
     225 - 810 West Broadway
     Vancouver, British Columbia
     V5Z 4C9
     CANADA

Electronic mail is:

     Marc_North@mindlink.bc.ca
          or
     a42@mindlink.bc.ca

If you are someone who knows of anyone who might be interested in
correspondance and is living either in Ireland or Russia, please pass this
along.

Thanks for reading folks.

Marc

That is definitive advice for the majority...I note one thing, though. In most
of the Tall woman-short man relationships that I've known, there was always
this undercurrent of an inferiority complex in the shorter guys - I dunno...
it just manifested itself sometimes in nasty ways....there needn't be that
inferiority if you have self confidence and a good woman, though...

	I am interested in finding old, very heavy women. Acne a plus.
	Prefer those over 800 lbs, but will respond to 500+. Moth ball
	odor is nice, but decent arm pit stench is a good substitute.

	Greasy hair not mandatory. Waist-level sagging breasts would
	be wonderful. Toe jam and/or belly button lint even better.
	Bad dental work a MUST!

	If this sounds like you please respond. I want to exchange
	naked photos.

	tony
