hi!  my name is khrystyne, and i am definitely out in the middle of nowhere.  i
am a grad student attending stephen f. austin state university in nacogdoches,
texas -- a small dot on a big map.

hmmm... a little about me.  let's see... i'm 5'6" tall, long, dark red hair and
big brown eyes.  i love walks in the misty rain, thunderstorms (but am
*terrified* of thunder), fireplaces on cold and not-so-cold nights, and
watching old black-and-white (no "colourized," thank you) movies on the vcr.

i also just broke up with my boyfriend about a month ago, so i guess i'm coming
back to life and seeing what's out "there" once again.

please write.  hopefully this can be fun for us both.

Tell her to cheer up in anyway you like.  And remind her to go to class

In view of the recent desperate call for penpals from a socialist, I
think the greedy capitalists should not miss out.

All supporters of laissez-faire capitalism, whether classical
liberals, libertarians, or anarchists of the capitalist variety, are
welcome to contact me to coordinate plans for the final triumph of
international capitalism and bourgeois civilization.

Dear Net-Folk, I'm trying to sharpen up my languages right now (and they sure
do need some sharpening!) so I'd love to get some Email to distract me from
my job.

Moi, j'ai etudie (verdammte 7-bit Ascii!) le francais un peu au lycee (cinq
ans - mais ca ne dit pas grand chose) und ich habe auch Deutsch bei der Uni
gelernt.  (Es gibt mindestens ein paar Deutche am Netz, nicht?)

Major disclaimer time!  I'm not actually looking for a girlfriend or anything
like that (nous avons aussi des jeunes-filles en Nouvelle-Zelande!) so anyone
who's afraid of psychotic present-givers etc need not worry (ha ha hee hee!!).
And of course, guys, feel free to write.

It's just very hard to find *any* foreign language in KiwiLand here, so I'd be
grateful to anyone who just wrote to say "Hi!", "Marry me!" or "Listen you
wierdo, you're really sick!!!"  (English is ok, too)

- Cardinal Richard Richelieu

PS Bonus incentive!!!  I'm a slim, attractive (Kuerzlich gehoert: "You've got
a really nice bum" - ist das nicht schoen?), well-spoken, erudite movie buff
with an ever-so-slightly batty sense of humour who rides a motorbike and is
always in trouble at work.

For reference - undergrads at DIT no longer have mail access between 0900 and
1600, due to abuse of the privilege by a small minority. Undergrads can be
detected by looking at the third letter of their username - if it's an S then
they are undergad/student. (R=research and T = teaching staff). I'll leave you
to figure out the rest of the code........

Hi. 

  My name's Mitch and this is my first time looking through soc.penpals.  What
makes me vomit is the number of postings here of those apparently looking for
cheap thrills, expecting they can find it over the net.  Or those likely using
other's accounts saying "I am female and horny".  Its all so interesting. 

  But I figured I'd post a note here and see if there are any others out there
who are equally amused and like exchanging email.  Male, female, whatever.
Like the subject says, I'm just looking for intelligent EMail conversation. 

  For the record, I'm a 25-year-old self-employed consultant.  Computer
graphics, much more interest in the application of, not the programming. 
Male.  I have a big interest in films, mostly of the art-house variety (Hearts
of Darkness, Koyaanisqatsi, etc).  TV stuff like Northern Exposure.  I'm not
going to post my looks, sex drive, or location of birthmarks. 

  No flames, please.  I'm not trying to insult the other posters, just make
commentary.  Great thing about the net is its uncensored, and everyone SHOULD
post what they want.  Have a nice day.

Greetings friends,

I have just subscribed to this group and having read through a hundred or so
articles I couldn't help but noticing the distinct lack of European mail . So I thought I'd take this opportunity to write to you all and perhaps begin
some friendly correspondance with someone from the States, Canada, Australia or
where ever.

My name is Paul and I am a student at Loughborough University (that's in the 
Midlands of England if anyone is still reading this) but I actually come from
London. I'm interested in all kinds of sport (rowing, cycling, climbing etc)
and I listen to various kinds of music (but mainly independent stuff).

I'd like to hear from anybody who wants to exchange views on anything and
who's got the time to spare making abstract friends on a keyboard.

Cheers!
	Paul

	Is anyone out there leading interesting lives?

	I'm not looking for an intercontinental date.  I wanna hear from people who have avoided or are trying to avoid the usual drudgery that the majority of dullards are willing to settle for (apologies to the dullards).

	Do you want to be a rock star?

	Do you want to be famous?

	Do you want to go down in history?

	Do you want to be a 9-to-5er?  (If so, I don't want to hear about it)

Sing me your life.

Jon.
