Subject: Elton John / Eric Clapton ticket available.
Newsgroups: alt.personals
Date: 25 Aug 92 18:44:09 GMT

Hello,

I have two tickets for the Elton John / Eric Clapton concert
Sunday, August 30th, at Dodger Stadium.  Unfortunately, I don't
have anybody to go with and hate the idea of wasting a ticket.

(If anybody is experiencing deja vu right now, yes I did post
regarding Tori Amos tickets last week.  By the way, it was a *great*
show.  Her voice is simply incredible.  Now back to your regularly
scheduled advertisement...)

Therefore, if there is anybody who lives in Southern California
and would like to see two legends play together, let me know.
I'm in Orange County, so geographically, that is preferable.
However, I am amenable to meeting someplace closer to Dodger
Stadium.

Me?  Well, I'm a 25 year old SWM, who really likes to attend concerts,
who has a strange affinity for getting tickets months in advance, waiting
until the last week, then exclaiming, "Who am I going to give this other
ticket to?"

That's very informative.  Do you mean that his policies do preclude people from

Yes, personal freedom is good; that's why I am so upset about those who are
trying to deny Darryl his personal freedom.

Well if *He* can do it, so can I:

Fallen angel seeks companion.  I'm tall, have bright red skin, cloven
hooves, horns, and a short beard.  I'm in good shape, and have a steady
job as manager of a tropical resort community built around a lake.

I like biking, windsurfing, stealing souls, and snuggling.  My favorite
music is heavy metal, and my favorite author is Dante.

My worst traits are that I'm somewhat moody and hot-tempered, and
occasionally I smoke.  On the other hand, I'm extremely religious.

Is there someone special out there for me?

Sincerely,

I know that out there somewhere close by, there is a friend who I am
trying to meet.  I just need to find you.

I am a single, female, computer professional working in the Berkeley
area who would like to meet the same.  I am pleasant to look at,
somewhat athletic, mature, intelligent, witty, playful, secure, warm,
caring, and longing to find a friendship that is more than the sister
I have always wanted.

If you are a non-smoker, who likes to dance, go for bike rides through
wooded areas or by the bay, cuddle and talk, maybe travel a little,
watch movies, listen to music and snuggle by a fire, If you long to
spend time enjoying the gentle, soft touch of a woman who is willing to
share some of the better parts of life. a friend and lover, a soft,
gental, caring companion...  ;  Please write to me here.

Maybe we could be such friends.  I long to get to know you.

	Nope. Look at any Roman art (Bacchus was a common subject).
Bacchus was shown as a handsome young man. Closest thing to ugly among
the Greco-Roman pantheon was probably Vulcan/Hephaestus.

Hey guys,

This is getting old. Mike will not change.....Darryl's service is great for
it's clientel....we got our own newsgroup AND a secondary alias service...
so everything has turned out just the way some of us planned it.

So why not let these nice people back to their lovely service and get on 
with the matter at hand........trying to meet others through an electronic
means. As far as I was concerned, Darryl could run his service however he 
wanted. My problem was, the lack of alternatives. Sure, I think that Darryl
is a Southern Baptist Minister wannabe, and Mike is a militant terrorist in
a man's body, but hey, that's their right being in this wonderful country.

BUT, due to the public outcries for an alternative.....we got one. So now we
can all go back to our search for peace and religious fullfillment. 

Thanks,

Just me

Fresh fruit?  In September?  Aah, of course, you're in Australia. 
No wonder your seasons are mixed up.  Just kidding.  ;-)

 And all the season of snow and sins,
 The days dividing lover and lover,
 The light that loses, the night that wins;
 And time remembered is grief forgotten,
 And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
 And in green underwood and cover
 Blossom by blossom the spring begins."

Well, this characteristic is so slanted towards the men because the net is
so vastly (over)populated with men.  But I am assured that there are plenty
of women out there who fit that bill, as well.  It's not specific to either
gender.  (In fact, you do see the occasional woman who fits your description
above on the net, but since there are probably ten men on the net for every
one woman, it can be hard to notice sometimes.)

Love is still alive.  It just hibernates sometimes. :-)

 Life is an interesting place. It can be fun. It can be great fun. It
 can be a blast, a riot, or a movie where the characters are drifting
 around in a haze. The people around you make all the difference. 
 Some of them will never emerge out of the fog. Others are those who
 make the difference. Since my last romantic interlude I've spent too
 much time just drifting, and though I've great friends, I'm still
 seeking clarity. That very special type of clarity, that always has
 a female origin.
    I'm not quite sure as to why I'm posting here, as I live in Europe,
 and chances are quite minuscule that you will live a block away, but
 on the other hand, I suspect that is probably the reason why. I'm a
 very mobile person. I like to travel. I like to live in interesting
 places. I'm somewhere in my late twenties, and heavily involved in
 academic activities, though that will hopefully terminate sometime in
 the not too distant future. I try to enjoy life to the extent that my
 monetary restraints allow me. I savour beauty and intelligence, though
 if asked if preferring brunettes or blondes could probably not give an
 answer, since I'm more fascinated by an interesting personality than
 physical appearance. Though addicted to work, I take my fair share of
 time off.
    Among the essential pleasures of life, I would definitely include
 eating and drinking, especially with a female companion. Music is also
 important to me, as well as reading. Winter sports are refreshing, and
 summer pastimes have their charm. Though fascinated by all aspects of
 big city life, the air of the countryside has always felt invigorating.
    I don't know who you are, and I hardly expect you to have a more
 than a faint clue as to who I am. Life is not a guessing game, however,
 we all take parts in shaping it. To what extent I will be a part of
 yours is at this stage largely in your hands. I stop my writing here,
 but hope that yours will begin.

    A very unknown young man, looking for someone very special
