hello cruel world...

i'm a brooding uncommunicative bastard whose idea of an excellent time is to
put on my blackest outfit, eat exorbitant amounts of nutmeg, and then extoll
the virtues of Kafka while standing on my head.

are you like me?  if so, then i suggest an excellent book called 'Final Exit'
try it, darling.  it's to die for.

don't mail me. just send vibes.

languishing in abjuration...

mail me back?
(I'd imagine that he/she was hardly inundated with replies, Ireland

 Hi.  Basically what I'm looking for is someone in the UK with whom to
correspond so that I can keep up to date with what's going on over there.
I get Reuters through Compuserve and so get most of the news, but that's 
not the same as finding out what people are really interested in etc.

 I'm 28, have lived in the US for 3.5 years now, and am doing an 
International Relations degree at the University of Delaware--I'm in 
America for good I reckon.

 Er...I'm single, a QPR and Yorkshire fan (though somewhat less than avid
of late), I like warm discussions, music (of all shapes and sizes), most 
sport and I'm a fairly enthusiastic Christian (but don't let that put you
off).

 Drop me a note if you think you might be interested in some "reasonably" 
regular e-mail from this side of the pond,

Just curious, how did you go from Christian to Atheist?  What exactly is a
Unitarian-Universalist atheist?  How can UUs include Christians?  The name
(Unitarian) shows they don't believe in Jesus so why are they called
Christians?

Hi,	
	Some time ago (~months) I heard of an organization/group
that helped inter-racial couples deal with the problems associated
with inter-racial relationships.  I am interested in finding
out more about this group.  
	Thanks.

We used one of shakespear's sonnets that goes something like

Love is not love that alters when it alterations find...


I can't remember the number.  We were able to make it gender-neutral
by merely changing a word here and there.  The Bard has lots of good
stuff, and people will often recognize it.

Although most people who officiate at weddings will tell you that this is
probably the ultimate in cliches for those trying to be different.  Some
of the readings looked interesting to me, but the reactions of people I
mentioned it to meade it clear that the message I was after wouldn't be
made by The Prophet.  (I got the same reaction to the white tux idea :-))
