I love museum openings. I just ate a brownie the size of my palm and as thick as my fist.

The One Where I Go Speed Dating.
Speed dating rules: Try and arrive by 7 to grab a drink, check out the opposite sex and assess the competition. Speed dating starts promptly at 7:30. (Okay, those aren't the rules but they should be.)
I arrived at 7:30, was greeted by my lovely and gracious host Megan, grabbed my Hurry Date materials and my name tag, I was Nadine #5, and then hopped on over to the bar to get a glass of water. A quick glance around the room made me think "Oh this wasn't going to be so bad because there are some cuties here." In hindsight I either needed to wear my glasses or the guys I saw earlier did not come to the Hurry Date event. Anyhoo! Our dates started right after that. I chose a table and awaited my fate. (Too dramatic?) My plan was to write their name next to their number on my scorecard and a word or two that would help me to remember them after the "date" was over. Let's begin shall we?
Date #1: Dennis #13: Unlucky number 13. Need I say more?
Date #2: Scott #41: I have no notes next to his but i do remember that he was roommates with the guy that came after him.
Date #3: Jordan #26: He was a comedian but he didn't know who Mitch Hedburg was. EPIC FAIL!
(These aren't in order anymore cos I don't really remember.)
Date #4: Michael #27: No notes, no memory, so I say NO. Sorry dude. (I just remembered that he was the psychologist for FCPS and he knew Burke because that's where they send the crazy kids before they send them to be put down. I told him not to associate me with that.)
Date #5: Matt #28: Disc golf. Basically he told me that Burke Lake Park (5mins from where I live) has a place to play frisbee golf. I thank you for your advice. Good luck with speed dating. Oh and cut your hair.
Date #6: David # 29: The word next to him? Proposal. The words after that? Guy who stepped on my foot. The first sentence out of his mouth was "why are you wearing your sunglasses indoors?" Strike one. The second sentence out of his mouth "Is this what we're going to do on our second date? Will you be seeing other guys after we get married." I know you're joking and all guy but after the sunglasses thing, you're done. No matter how great your hair was.
Date #7: Juan #31: His word "Air Force." It should have been "too short." Sorry bub!
Date #8: Dan #33: I might have said yes to this guy if he hadn't have mentioned how he's not liking the sales business (sells insurance to hospitals) because he's too emotional. Yep, his words. Oh well.
Date #9: Thomas #34: OMG I want to say yes to this guy and hope that he's said yes to me too so we can meet again and I can make him realise that he's gay and he should have been hitting on Matt #28 instead of me. The words next to him? Travel Thai. He was really cool otherwise though.
Date #10: Tim #35: Tim was actually one of the cool guys and seemed like he was there to meet girls and wasn't confused. Civilian in the Coast Guard. Not bad.
Date #11: Biniyam #38: He was from Ethiopia. NEXT! (There's a story to this. I swear I'm not being racist or something stupid like that.) I mean he's getting his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering so I'm sure he's a catch for someone else.
Date #12: Mark #39: Oh poor, unfortunate Mark. Take the money that you spend on all these Hurry Date events and use it to get that wart/mole/thing on your face removed. I kept staring at it (while feeling awfully shallow) and thinking "moley moley moley mole." He did have the word lawyer (cos he's one and works up the street from me) next to his name, but I'm not that desperate.
Date #13: John #40. Oh. Dear. Lord. Ridiculously gay. At the end of the date though he says "I put yes to your name." Of course you did. I just told you I'm training to be a MMA fighter and you're hoping I can give you tips on how to be more manly. I might put Yes next to his name though because I might meet some of his cute Navy friends. :D (Totally kidding.)
So anyways, those are my stories for those of you I won't be able to share it with and act it out in person.
