Too Fast For Love

So a lot has happened in the past twenty four hours, this ought to be a longer post..

First of all I went on a mini road trip with my teammate Sanijay to Kansas City. It was a long drive, and I really wasnt up for it except for the fact that I got a free meal.. and I think his girlfriend said I was family, which was nice.

Today I saw a handicapped person driving down the street in his motorized wheelchair. I wanted to ask him if it was street legal, but I was afraid I would go straight go hell. So I kept it to myself.

The most memorable moment though had to have been the round of speed dating I just got through. Me and Dusty and Sanijay all went with the idea of making things as uncomfortable as possible, and I think we succeeded. The event was very well put together. We walked in to a room filled with some cheesy R&B song and a table filled with brownies, cake, and other treats. I was immediately yelled at by the caterer, because I scooped up some punch before she added the ice cream. I have two problems with this. First. The punch was awful, I dont even think ice cream couldve saved it. Second, who puts ice cream in punch?

Before too long we moved into the ballroom for the "dates". Everyone sat down, and like some cruel, secret game of musical chairs I was left as the only person without a seat. That all changed when a Chinese exchange student named Corina (thats not her real name, I learned they change their names to American ones to fit in. Bastards) raised her hand, and just like that I had found a date. She didnt really speak English, and Im pretty sure she thought our date-rating sheet was a math test, but honestly she was the best date I had all night. Too bad Im not fluent in mandarin.

The second date that I had was really uncomfortable. We stumbled through small talk - she told me she likes boondock saints- and had what was a seemingly average speed date... until fate happened. She asked me why I was here..I said "Oh, me and a few friends are, just having fun, making a joke of it." She replied.."Oh. Ok. Well Im actually here to meet somebody...I kno, I know that sounds stupid and desperate and sad..."I felt really bad, but i tried to manage a smile anyway. Too bad we had two more long minutes before we switched dates. Check please??

Other highlights include an innocent looking girl named Megan who actually is a dominatrix...which was weird, because she looked like she had just finished teaching religious ed...and some of the questions made by Dusty. He wrote down a few questions on a sheet of paper before we started. My favorites were "Would you mind if I wear your underwear around?" and "Do you blog" which I guess was meant by silence.

It was a great night, topped off by another great trip to Burger King for an Angry Chicken Tendercrisp Sandwhich. What a night
