It was a dark and stormy night (really!); the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in Carbondale, IL, that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty light of the lamps that struggled against the darkness..... [12 points if you know where that opening sentence was plagiarized from]

In addition to marriage I am also interested in friendship (without which a marriage is pointless), activity partners, dating, and other forms of a relationship. If it would amuse you to talk with me feel free to contact me.

I am a very shy person with excellent conversational skills and a wide-ranging curious mind. Because I am very shy it is highly unlikely that I would initiate a conversation, but if you decide to start one - for whatever reason - I can certainly keep up my end of the interaction.   Send me a message!
