Hey, if they can't encourage your perfectly healthy hobbies (I nearly typed "hobbits") and interests, then they're not for you! Um, or maybe take out either the "were" or the "spawn".
Yeah! They call it a sign of a diseased mind, I call it "product differentiation".
It usually takes me forever to know a person. I mean, unless it's really honestly completely nothing-to-talk-about (and I've had such blind dates, so I know that's a definite possibility), I usually feel like I need more time. I can just imagine myself running out after the speed-date session to ask people questions I didn't get time to ask when we were supposed to talk. Like those students who run after the lecturer to catch up on the last things told in class, with a notebook and a pencil.
Oh, that's ok. That's what the next date is for. (And, on the plus side, you'll have the notebook and pencil right there!)
I'm going to experiment with waiting until the second email before asking for their cranial measurements too.
Did you put "phrenology" in your list of hobbies? If so, add "trepanation" to really confuse 'em. Wait, maybe confusion isn't the effect you're after....
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
Nilly, how does the school year run for you, as a grad student?
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
This needs context? Okay, tommyrot. I need to see your Buffista i.d. card, right now.
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
Slavering werespawn, as in "Dear slavering werespawn".
Did you put "phrenology" in your list of hobbies?
Yup. And I told 'em I'd added them to my phrends list.
There's a bit in IMDB about how Princess Di boinked JFK Jr, but that's not the point. It includes the following sentence:
She had more love to give than any men could take and when it came down it, I think he found her too needy
Ignoring the grammar, what's with too much to give and too needy? How are those related?
In the theme of sentences without sense, Versace on Demi:
Her presence is magnetic because it is entirely natural and never forced.
Did he not see GI Jane? Natural?
Has he seen any of her acting?
That's what the next date is for.
It's been a while since I had a "next date". But I still remember to try not to take notes during the date itself. Hmm, maybe that's what I've been doing wrong all along.
how does the school year run for you, as a grad student?
I'm TAing during the schoolyear (usually, late October to June, with exams ending by July-August), and that's when I'm taking classes, as well (though I just have to hand in one more paper in my History and Philosophy of Science class, and that concludes the classes I have to take for my degree). The research - the actual work - takes place all the time, though, without any specific dates or the like. During the schoolyear, naturally, with all the other things to do, it doesn't progress in the pace it should (also, see above, re: me being slow), so I hope that the summer will be a good chance to at least begin to catch up.
Magnetic? Presence?
I was just wondering how I'd go about dating if I suddenly found myself single. Speed dating seems fairly promising - it's in person, so you don't have to be concerned that the picture isn't accurate, and I get a better read from people in person than in writing. And it's on neutral turf, with no commitment.
I mean, I never really dated before getting married, just went out with guys from gaming (the odds were good, but the goods were odd) or school. So I'm clueless. How do adults date?
