This Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You

Personal Ads:

Looking for love, French-style. Can ONLY speak French to me, preferably wearing tight pants and through a cloud of cigarette smoke. Woo me with stories of fish you feed to your large pets or your deep understanding of the need for at least 6 blankets, layered under and over the sheet. If you wear checkered Vans and consider yourself So Ska and love postmodernity and sometimes feel like you have two separate sets of teeth, write me love letters, Scripps box 877.

Sigh . . . Looking for that certain someone, preferably female (if male you must be tan, tall and have clean nails) for Sunday mornings only.  If you enjoy reading cookbooks, rolling cigarettes but not smoking them, or pruning fruit trees please do not let this stop you from considering another of similar physical persuasion (short, tannish, nails left to the imagination) please call S.R. Duncan at (631) 854-6602.

Is your lover abroad? Do you need a hook-up that doesn’t mean anything? I am a sexy girl looking for a sexy guy or guys with no strings attached. If you want a three-way or something else kinky, I am there!!! Just don’t tell my boyfriend and I won’t tell your girlfriend if you don’t want me to. No dates necessary, this is strictly bedroom. Call me and ask for Ms. Sexy! X86120

Fast learner with ample experience in cyber-flirting, cyber-sex, and other computerized forms of affection. Eager to apply skills to the real world with a liberated girl who does not judge or expect aggressive put-ons. If you find dignity in a Home Town Buffet and think good energy is better than a good job, I would love to meet you (...in person).  X91666

Looking for a bookworm-ish, bespectacled someone to spend Fridays in with. Must be fan of Roget’s Thesaurus and The AP Stylebook. Sex/gender doesn’t matter – I am open to anything. Also, this will not be physical. If you like reading and drinking Raspberry Zinger tea, call me! Scripps, Box 424

Wanted: MUSE   You: beautiful, dazzling, deep, inspiring, genuine, mystifying, stupefying, able to play with light and darkness within. Must be able to stop traffic, control even the weather, and open all kinds of doors. Gender irrelevant. Age not important. Pretenders, inflated egos, empty divas and garden variety weirdos need not apply. Me: The visionary that will immortalize you. We are made for each other. Pitzer, Box 111

In search of literary individual, interested in role-playing. Specifically, Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, but if you have another good one, that is fine too. I’m thinking that you would be Jane, but if you want to be Rochester, I can be Jane (keep in mind I am not very small). Reader, answer this personal! X87754

Are you a professor looking for young love, but not one of your students? Send me your name & number and if I’m not in one of your classes, I will call you. Let’s leave schoolwork behind! I’ll never ask you to look at my papers or bother with academic talk – I don’t want to talk at all – I just want an older man! X84421

I Saw You:

Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, I do. At least, I do now that I’ve seen you. You: In jeans and a green t-shirt, blondish hair, walking in front of Bridges. Me: Khaki pants and a hot pink polo shirt, brownish hair, walking the opposite direction. I tripped because I was staring at you, and that made you laugh. Do you remember? Call me X87656

We ran into each other in the mailroom, and you dropped your mail. I helped you pick up your credit card bills - obviously, Daddy isn’t paying those bills for you. I can’t pay your credit card bills . . . but I can be your Daddy. Do you want to be mine? X81132

OMG. I saw u wlkng 2 pitzer dining hall w/ ur gf, but u were smiling at me. I have been looking 4 u, but I haven’t seen u since. Do u want 2 hang out sometime? : ) X85443

You: Girl working at the Motley. I can’t remember what you were wearing, but it was cute. You have brown hair and a cute nose. Me: Doing homework in the Motley. I tried to buy my coffee from you, but one of the other girls, the least cute one, got in your way. I was in a yellow shirt and pants. I stared at you from the sitting room and I think you noticed. Call me!!! You are hottt!!! X86098

Am I crazy, or did I see you checking me out!?!?!?!?!? Me: A hot pink jumpsuit and turquoise boots. You: Super cool in black jeans and a hot purple top & an emo hairdo. Do you want to get together!?!?!?!? Because I think we would be a super cute couple!!!! PLZ CALL X89906
