Me: Handsome, GBM, 24, short, thinker, passionate,

I might be re-enrolling in one of two of these (CA, WA).
ISO student of any of these, or someone who, like me, attended one.
Your race, money, or popularity does not matter.  But a attractive, short,

Oh, I get it.  "It's not my fault.  The editor *made* me do it!"

Last I looked, typing and posting an article still required human fingers
on the keyboard.  When did editors start typing (and posting) articles in
place of people?

Editors might make it harder to correct a misspelled word, but all you need
is a few practice sessions before sending your handiwork out to the world.

 The alarm awakens me from a
 dream forgotten.  I lay
 reflecting of what I will do
 this day.   Then I recall,
 today is a special day.  Today
 is a day of love and deep
 feelings.  I sit sipping my
 coffee, watching the flakes
 float down outside.  My breath
 fogs the window as the steam
 from my mug rises.  I smile
 and regard the years gone
 past.  Of the times spent with
 family and friends.  The
 children all laughs and giggles,
 as they shake the
 gifts under the tree.  Oh the
 tree, such a lovely creature.
 We always cut our own, taking
 great care to choose just the
 right one.  The smell fills
 the house as we place the
 lights and decorations upon
 it.  The glimmer and glisten,
 the intuition and incense.  It
 all fits so well together.  I
 recall back to when I was
 young.  The night before
 christmas, unable to sleep.
 Thinking of Santa and the gifts
 he would bring. The
 excitement, the anticipation,
 the suspense.  I smile as I
 remember the feeling of warmth
 come over me.  The embrace of
 magic in the air.  The
 kindness of others.  Yet I
 feel sorry for those who do
 not understand.  The people
 who have never had the peace
 and love.  I pray for them to
 believe in love.  I send a
 piece of myself to everyone.
 I am not rich in money but I
 have plenty of love to share with
 all.  This story poem is
 a part of me I give to you.
 Please send it to those who
 need it.  Thank you and have a
 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No success in any area, and I have been posting, replying, and
following up other posts for nearly two years.

I don't think most of the people here are really serious.  Notice
the great numbers of smart remarks and nit-picking flames that
are posted in response to many serious and honest questions.

The few times that a serious discussion does develop, it only
lasts a few days before it degenerates into name calling and
stupid inside jokes.

As for correspondence, generally I get a letter with all of my
last letter quoted and some short two line excuse at the end, and
never anything else is heard.  The nicest woman I met via the net
wasn't comfortable with the long distance and wanted to
concentrate on possibilities closer to home.  She told me that
straight out, and I respect her for it.  I didn't like it, but I
respect her wishes.  Too bad more people can't be as honest!

Nicholas, I have this strange feeling that you are not a female either.  Why 
do you read (much less comment on and criticize) personal ads posted for women
only?  Are you bored out there in Switzerland?  Jealous, because you didn't
think of posting in French first?  Turn you on?  Whatever your demented reason
is, I really could care less.  Instead of wasting your time, (and mine, having
to respond to people like you), why don't you focus on the articles and ads
which apply to you?  You know, MEN.  Remeber, this section is for personal ads,
not a place to write your unwanted, destructive criticisms.  Also, trying to
make other people look stupid, (especially in public), just makes yourself look
like an ass.  If you must comment on an ad, try responding directly to the
person.  I'm sure they will appreciate your thoughtfulness! 

Your new friend,


ROY


P.S.  I have sent this message to defend myself and my ad, which is written
      somewhat poorly, I must admit!  I have not practiced French for over
      two years now, and have just recently started to write and read it
      all over again.  With just one semester of college French under my 
      belt, I don't think I'm doing all that bad!

 As an alumni of RPI, I can honestly say that we women did not have the 
greatest choice of men to choose from anyway. The high male:female ratio
did not make much difference.

	Could someone please explain to me why it always seems to be
	that when you finally meet someone nice on the net, they just
	happen to be clear across the country?  Why is it that the
	one for whom you seek, and seeks you, is always out of reach?

	I should wish that a young woman (around my age, 25) could

	of any flame-mail, for I am being serious.

	(sighs)  Ok, I guess I >am< being a bit too austere, and for
	that I apologize.

	Here it is:  I should like to meet someone about my age, and
	in my geographic locale (NJ).  I know that it seems strange,
	but yes, I would like to make a friend, not a lover.  Were
	that to happen, that would come only later, and is none of
	anyone's business.  It is just that my job takes up so much
	of my time...I have none to meet people, though I wish there
	could be a person for whom I would gladly make such time.

	I love music, cuddling, a warm fireplace, cocoa, good books,
	and just talking, really, just talking quietly, and listening
	with all my heart to what she would have to say.

	Again, I know this looks like a "line," but I >am< serious,
	and if anyone has had the same experience (male or female)
	with what I was talking about at the beginning of this post,
	well go ahead, drop me some e-mail.  It would be interesting
	to know just who out there has tasted netlove, and if they
	have similar problems.

	And if there be a woman in NJ, or anywhere, but preferably
	NJ, who wishes to reply, please do so.  I don't bite.

Hello all you sports minded people.  As the year winds down I thought some 
(or most) of you would enjoy testing your basketball trivia prowess.  I have 
compiled ten questions and one bonus question about the 1991-92 basketball 
season.  Test your knowledge by sending your answers to me.  I will post the 
best scores of the test by 12-19-92.  


1) Michael Jordon led the league in total points, who came in second?
2) Who led the NBA in free throw percentage (min. 125 FT's made)?
3) Who led the NBA in 3-point percentage (min. 50 3-pt. FG's made)?
4) Which NBA team had the worst Won-Lost record?
5) Who led the NBA in field goal percentage (min. 300 FG's made)?
6) What team led the league in 3-point percentage?
7) Who led the NBA in total number of blocked shots?
8) Who scored the most points in one game?
9) Who led the league in the number of times being disqualified from a game?
10) Who led the league in total number of steals?

Bonus:  Who was the only player to have more offensive rebounds than 
	efensive rebounds (min. 250 total rebounds)?

Remember that the answers pertain to the 1991-92 season only.



More trivia to follow.

 And I'll third it.  Most GIRLS around my age (e.g. 21) just want to party all
night with the studs and jocks.  And most of the guys just want the same (with
the local airheads).  I'd say that girls turn into women (psychologically, not
chronologically) around 26 at the earliest, but it depends on the woman.

  Maturity comes through adversity, NOT the passage of time.
