Castle in the Sky™ Dating Application

Dear Applicants,

I thank you for your interest in going on a date with me. Due to the demands of being a writer, being heavily invested in another club, working, and having to appease the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and their unbridled claims on my free time, I do not a lot of time to go on many dates. However, I love to go on dates and I would love to go on a date with you. That is, if you can survive this application. This should be fun, rewarding, and horrible at the same time. Complete as much as you can. Take as much space as you need. I wish you the best of luck and God’s good grace. Please submit this form to castle(dot)in(dot)the(dot)

Sincerely,

Castle in the Sky
