Before I posted an ad seeking a writing buddy, I went through SG CL, strictly platonic ads. Most make me want to ask them over to my house to feed them a bit of bread and some simple pasta.

Like this girl who has a free bottle of champagne. It is her birthday and she is alone. Or this guy who feels that he lacks good conversation. Or this person who seeks a break from routine. I feel sorry for them – I have felt the same way at times. While such feelings are not unpleasant, it is much nicer to feel that one belongs.

Update: I did post that ad. The replies I seem to attract from are illiterates. Bleah.
