Well as soon as I get a good colllection of social snapshots of L.A., I'm
gonna add that to my already-completed, revised FAQ.  I have no concept of
the issue of freely changing social circles (the ones I was in, were pretty
much set in concrete, albeit rather diverse) - and that's a hindrance in
L.A.  (Nancy told me 'bout this when she went back home from her first
semester at State U, but did I listen to her and take heed for when I moved
to L.A.? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....)

Los Angeles or San Francisco?

Yeah, well how do you meet without something looking at you and saying "OOH
YOU FILTHY MALE STOP TRYING TO GET IN MY PANTS!!!###!!!!" in their heads?
I mean, even when I was talking to my sweetie, I was dead frightened of
this factor - which is weird since we both were dating heavily RIGHT up to
May 9th, when we fell in love...

Most men who are lonely, try to be upbeat in public - there is a remarkable
explosion of venting their REAL feelings, on Internet.  Some of us jeer,
others try to help out.  Me, I don't wanna be single again..  if it weren't
for the presence of someone to call at night, I'd be pretty damned lonely
in this area.

who'll father/mother them...
