What on EARTH does attractiveness have to do with EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE? Also,

If this makes life worth living, maybe you could go with Joplin and Morrison,

Hi all,
I'm looking for people who'd like to write letters, real normal paper letters, 
to me from round the world. I would use email, but I am loosing access soon,
so I'm out of that business. I am 26 now, doing my exams in physics so that my
studies will be over till the end of this year. My two great hobbies are
music making and theatre playing. Maybe I will follow that track instead of
working as a physicist.
If you are interested, take a pen and write to:

One last thing before I drop the subject.  They have always 
taught me that insulting, and laughing at the other 
guy in a debate, or discussion...what ever you might want
to call it, does not constitute a good arguement.  Hum,
then I quess I was just too serious.

I had no intention of insulting or stepping on others'
believes, all I said was that honest people lie also
for one reason or another.
 
Well, I will just take it that you wanted to have some

Aside from email pen-pals (and that's how I met my husband) I have two
other pen pals with whom I have been corresponding for some time. When
I was living in New York, I started corresponding with a girl in
Sweden. We were 12. It was 1960. We still write. In 1964 in the
height of Beatlemania, I started writing to a girl in England.
We still write.

My niece met her husband thru becoming penpals thru the Who Fan Club.
She moved to England and married him. I met my husband who was in
Australia while I was in Ohio. We started an email friendship that
turned into something bigger.

See, one can find true love on the net.

Well, Emilio, I'm flattered, but I'm already spoken for!  :)
(sorry, couldn't pass that one up....it was set up so perfectly.)

Actually, I would go for the night time.  Try to set up a traditional romantic
scenero...either in front of fire place (although lighting a fire in the
Summer is probably a bit uncomfortable), or do it over a nice quite romantic
dinner.  Of course, that is my taste, and may not work for you, but you did
ask.

Until next time...

Okey-dokey, Gerry spills the beans on himself, guess it's my
turn. My name's Victor (go ahead, use the finger command, what
you see is what you get, and it's the truth), I work as the LAN
administrator for my University's International Centre. I'm 30
and single (never married), with no dependents. In my spare time
I am a fashion, beauty, and portrait photographer (which is why
being on a university campus with scads of photogenic men and
women is a windfall for me), and I've also done some independent
computer consulting and multimedia development work. I used to
swim 1.5km a day, everyday, but lately have been getting next to
no exercise apart from lugging my photo gear from one shoot to
another and flapping my arms wildly while directing models. My
dream assignments would include photographing covers for Vogue,
Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Mirabella, and Vanity Fair, and ads for
Levi's, Esprit, The Gap, Chanel, Lancome, and Estee Lauder. I
would like to travel between New York and Paris, and all over the
world, directing and photographing the likes of Niki Taylor,
Claudia Schiffer, Paulina Porizkova, Christy Turlington, and
Cindy Crawford (dream on Victor...*poof* my bubble burst) for big
ad agency accounts, but so far I just do small commercial jobs.

Oh, well....so much for real life.

Who's next? (Looks around to see everyone else snickering...)

Huh? Did I leave my fly open?   *blush*

are you talking to me?

Dont tell me that any of you netters out there have never told
a lie!  If so, that in itself would be a lie.  One can lie and
not know it.  One can spontaniously lie and know it, but can not
control it.  There are many reasons which might make a person
lie, not just because they are dishonest.  Honest people 
tell lies too.  

Are you refering to your mentioning of the fact that you are
only 5'6" as your being honest?  There is not much to lie there,
unless you feel that being shorter than average is inferior 
or something to be ashame of.  If that was the case, and you     
were dishonest about it, I would not cosider that as your 
fault, it is the society's fault.  Being ashame of something
is one good reason which could make an honest person lie.

Some gals find me cute too; I am even shorter than you are.
Asians are not know to be tall.  

I am not cynical, I just see things the way they are.
