so i just typed this entry up, and accidentally clicked on a link. *RAAR*
anyways. yeah, i went speed dating last night up in the city. it was sort of a fiasco for me. why? because i drank too much. i drank because i needed to combat my tics with alcohol. so i had four grey goose & tonics. i didn't get a buzz or anything, but just got all space-y.
and the thing about all that alcohol was that it totally dehydrated me, so i couldn't talk. i mean, i couldn't enunciate clearly because my dry lips were sticking to my teeth! ugh. :/
and being all spaced out by the alcohol, i made terrible conversations with a few girls. like, i asked one girl the same question twice (embarrassing!) and just ran into a wall with another girl. luckily, they weren't girls i was interested in in the first place, so i just waived it on by.
i did, however, match with one girl. she was the last girl i talked to, so maybe i was fresh on her mind? maybe. we'll see how it goes with her.
the best part of the night was driving up and down with rainbow. i have never really "talked" to her, despite knowing her for more than a decade. i think both of us are looking for knock-you-off-your-feet passion, and we're not able to find it. and then, we're left to wonder if that's just impossible to obtain now, and we should settle down with a relationship that's safe and secure.
oh, and one more thing about speed dating. i've been to three of these now, and i met a girl who attended all three as well! it was sort of awkward, because both of us knew that it didn't work out the other two times, so what else is there to say?
anyways, so i think this will be the last speed dating i attend. it's a novel concept, and i do think that this is a valid way to meet people, but it's just too much chatter and smalltalk for my tastes. but now, i must find a new way to meet people.
anyways, it's friday! woo-hoo! tomorrow a group of us taiko alum are headed up to the city to meet up with alum gina. and sunday, i have dim sum with dave & carolyn and other assorted people. fun fun!
so have a good weekend folks! i'm off!
