A Response to Me Post -- (E-mail)

Dear Random Gentleman with the Intriguing Post,

To be frank, I normally read the craigslist personals at night just for fun, and I rarely find anything of substance. However, your entry truly caught my eye. Also on an honest note, I must divulge that I am happily in a relationship, but I would love to have intelligent conversation. It's a hard commodity to locate.

I'm deeply interested in talking about matters of faith and religion. Additionally, I love talking about literature, ethics, and all manners of topics. Thus far, I've led an interesting life through various jobs and friendships and often just like to share beliefs and personal experiences.

If you're still interested, feel free to contact me at this email. I would love just to have to have someone to talk to here, as the aforementioned relationship is long distance, and I'm often in ######### by myself.

Take care and have a relaxing Sunday.

Sincerely,
A random lady who is exceedingly curious

My Dear Randomly Sagacious Muse Whose Display of the Self-Similar and thus Familiar Products of Her Own Nimble Mind Didst Render Me Immediately Fond of Their Conceiver,
I feel, now, less alone.
Infrequently, I experience something after which the dapper narrator of my life - that nearly ever-present voice monologuing inside of my skull, constantly vying for and mostly winning my attention from the experience of life itself - is left, ever so briefly, speechless. This time, I resorted to a tellingly trite summation: "Awesome."
I don't wish to convey that I am a lonely soul - though I am, at times, as I am a bit of everything, at times.
You may apply the majority of your message to me: I read much of CL for entertainment, as I am ever curious about the human condition and the broadening of my perspective by the consideration of others'; I am also - and "deeply" is the word I most often use - interested in discussing the topics you mentioned, including, especially, the "and all manner of topics;" I enjoy the experience of coming to know a person, I find it more rewarding than any other that I can readily call to mind - and I am patient for times at which I am delighted to realize that I have found someone who is capable of understanding me.

With Pretty Fond Regards,
Edward

p.s. I convey that my chosen style of locution rarely has occasion to demonstrate this level of poise, and that, though I usually tailor my manner of speech to best suit what I understand to be the nature of the audience, I rarely have occasion to stretch myself. I look forward eagerly to refreshing parley.
