      hi.
      i'm looking for peaple to hang out with this sumer.
      want to go to a night club or a consert or art musium or play arouind in whatever way you enjjoy, or just hang out or whatever... bible study?, induct me into your cult?, i'm down for prity much anything that gets me out of the house?
      i'm a fat white unemployed art student. i'm an insomniac with a lot of time to kill this sumer untill clasess start agian in the fall, um other basic information about me : i'm a strait...ish fat white art student, i'm 22, i don't drive, i have insomnia (the not driving and the not sleeping are conected) i hate being looked down on , aven if it's an honest asesment, i'm just looking for an equal in obskurity to spend some time doing nothing witha a felow looser to comiserate with and maybe cudle with. long term short term, whatever, casual sirius witchever way your feelings take you (just let me know what you're thinking), freinds with benifits, freinds who cudle and hug but nothing more, freinds who do nothing of the sort, i don't care, it all sounds good to me i'm just that easy going. just a warning, i use the words i love you far too easily, that bothers some peaple , most peaple try to dull it down by saying they "like" somone and they think that just becals they feel any level of love for somone that they have to try and keep them forever, thats not me. relationships start and then eventualy they end (hopfuly you can be freinds), it's sad and then you move on and hopfuly you fall in love wth somone else (not nesesarily in that order), after all a relationship without love is just a freind who you fuck ... witch is actualy awsome as long as you go into it knowing thats all it's gona be. i'm not conserned with the body you have as long as i like WHO and how you are and you have "true eyes", are open minded, forgiving , non-judgmental and all of those kinds of things. honesty is a big plus as long as you're nice about it. i'm a lil bit of a masicist but nothing sirius and i'm not realy into s and m or dom and sub or any of that sort of stuff, i'm not oposed to it realy (take it how you can get it they say) it's just not realy my thing is all , maybe a hint of it mixed in with the other fun stuff but not as the center of activity.
      well thats about it , i'll give you my myspase adress so you can get a beter idea if i'm your type of person to hang out with if you ask. (not that you can tell much about a person by anything you see on the internet)
      i don't smoke a lot, but i am "herb" and "1420" freindly.

        titlle: crazy peaple welcome.

        hi
        i've been single for a wile now , and i'm thinking about dating again.
        i'm interested in prety much anyone. i tend to feel more comfortuble around crazy , disfunctional , weirdos.
        i've noticed that a lot of peaple put "crazy, creapy, wierdos and fat peaple need not reply" honestly that realy pises me off , the way i see it thats no beter than saying "no nigers, spics ,or chinks" they're still bigets, they're just doing it in a socialy acepted way.

        anyways , if you're interested in having a drink with a freinly openminded easygoing man, who more likly than not will just accept you for what you are and try to understand you ,then send me an e-mail and we can go hang out somwer and talk, or go do somthing together.
        if you're crazy or disfunctional, or creapy , or a weirdo,then lets just hang out for the fun of it, i probubly won't even notice whatever it is thats rong with you untill we've been hanging out for like an hour or so and we've just finished our second game of pool.

        p.s. i'm not realy looking for meaningless sex , it's nice but i've had plunty of that, i'm looking for somthing new. i'm looking for you.

    You might want to start with spellcheck..:)
    I've used Craigslist a lot...and one of the things that will get you dismissed quicker than anything is misspellings..:)

        Hey again,

        CL isn't the easiest place to meet folks though..I have to be honest. Pretty much any of the personal ads are aimed (even the strictly platonic ones) at casual sex in one form or another. Because of this, most folks are looking for the best front you can put forward (honest as you want to be, describing yourself as a 'fat, white art student' probably isn't going to win you any favors..lol). In the realms of CL...honesty isn't something that's particularly looked up to. I'd also say stick with just one ad and repost. Multiple postings obviously from the same person just come off as desperate...:)

        I hope this helps, and that you don't take what I've said personally. As I said, I've got a bit of experience with CL...and happily share what I've learned about it.:)

        Blessings and Love,
        ize

          ya. i was starting to suspect that my honesty was working against me ther.
          like everyone asumes that you're lieing to make your self sound beter , so if like me you are honest and even a bit humble then peaple asume that you must be realy bad off.

          hmmm. well thanks , i apriciate your time.

          anyone else ?

      Hee hee, I agree about the spell check. It's a pain, but it does make a difference in one's impression of the writer.

      I've never used Craig's List so can't shed any light on that, though.

        honestly, i would give up on CL if i were you.....besides the typing thing, people ARE more shallow on there, mainly since you ONLY have the pics to base most things on...and women hold the high card. For example, when i used to post ads regualary (went through this whole yr of craiglist bullshit and also bored at work, i work in front of a computer) I would get minimum 20replies. Men MAYBE get a few...and if your not photogenic it doens't come off that well..i know...lame! just go out more...let people see the real you and love yourself and you will find love.

        btw, if you did post, maybe make it "aimed" towards insomnia people...thats a BIG turn off to most people...in chinese medicine it means "distured shen (Spirit) " and is caused by heat in the heart...upper body excercise and a healthy diet is a must..anyways, good luck!

          hmmm, shen, .

          ya i've tried pritymuch everything for the insomnia but it's still got my sleeping paterns by the ball, the only thing that seems to work is combonation therapys, exersise, coffe in tte morning, pills, herbal suplements , and last but not least , lots and lots of very very deep meditation, patialy to force my body to shut down and when that fails to replace actual sleep. oh and geting as much sun as posible during the day, it's a hole lot of time consuming , will taxing , patientce testing work just to get a good nights sleep, espesialy since it dosen't always work.

          i have noticed the imbalance between men and wemen on creigs list. it kind of makes me wonder if maybe the socirty is gona do the a pendulum swing and make a shift in the next few decades to a more matriarkle society, ofcorse it's easy for me to think that since the gender roles wer always reversed in my family growing up, with my mom working and being the disiplinarian, and my dad staying home and taking kare of the kids and the house. i had a couple freinds over the years who thot my dad was joking when he said "you just wait untill your mom gets home".

    Hey there,

    I don't know if you sound creepy. Doesn't seem like it. But, I gotta tell you. Your spelling is atrocious. Seriously, write this stuff in Microsoft Word or something, check the spelling, then post them. Or use www.dictionary.com. I'm not saying this to sound mean, but bad spelling is a real put-off.

    I hope this helps,

          I'm sorry to point it out, but yes it is. I thought you were joking for a long time. Suggestion: In another window you go to google/dictionary and you will have a very easy resourse to use, readily at hand. Good luck. I have fought the same problem all my life and I still use a dictionary on most letters and posts.

            well actualy i can spell and use proper gramer when nesisary, it's just that i have a personal moral objection to doing it unless it's actualy a nesesity.

            it's the same reason i don't shave every day or wer a less conspicuois hair style, or go out of my way to wer normal clothes.

            it's a hole life filosify thingy i've got goin on. for me to do any of those things out of any form of vanity or for the perpis of manipulating others , or trying to controle how others see/treat me would be a moral failing, the same way that steeling somthing or lieing to a loved one would be .

    dude, spell check can kiss my big white boodie

    i miss use and miss spell words all the time

    deal.

    yet, no one wants to sound like a bigger fool then they already are.... we are all fools in some way. people are attracted to education/ stimulation/ learning/ teaching/ having deep conversations. believe it or not girls like smart guys..... at least the kind of girls i wanna hangout with, and the kinda guys as well.

    so if your posting an add think of the things that would catch your eye. what is it that your looking for in other people that is reflective of your own attributes. what is it that you need in relating to other people to bring out the best in you. what is it do you want to learn from others. what is it that you want to teach others, show them, open doors for them and your self in the paths that we are on?????????????????????

    use things about the answers to these questions you must ask your self when posting an add. or presenting yourself in general to people. being honest is always good. sounding like to much of a push over will make you sound boring. description of anything to sexual will sound creepy.

    use more of who you are as an artist to help draw other artist in. maybe ask if anyone it interested in going to a museum or getting together a small group in a park to show and talk about their current work.

    and lastly...the advice of just getting out there is really good. go to the places where the people you want to hang out with are, and try talking to people. ask them for advice, or to answer a question.....people love to help other people. people love to be the expert. even if its just a simple, hey its my first time here, whats it like, do you come here often.
    mostly, smile, use your own inner warmth to get people to open up to you.

    love and rockets

    oh and with your text, space things out so its easy to read. if its a long post most people stop reading if its in a block type form
