back to speed dating: whoever invented it was actually fairly smart b/c in only 2 minutes per guy i figured out i have no interest in any mormon guy in atlanta. i saved so much time! actually i really enjoyed chatting with the guys i'm already friends with, which is probably why i am friends with them. unfortunately, i'd never met the majority of the guys there before & most of them were insanely dull:
*sooo, what do you like to do for fun?
i like to hike (really thinking:i like it when you get up & leave)
oh, me too. i love hiking
yeah, do you know any good hikes near atlanta?
ummmmmmm, no
oh (thinking: what an idiot. why didn't i just say, 'you creep me out. lets sit in silence for the next 1.95 minutes')
the last guy i was forced to talk to was by far the worst of the bunch. it was pretty much like speed dating Dwight from the office:
dogs or cats? (no hello, no introduction - this is literally the 1st thing he said to me. i'm sure he thinks he is very creative)
dogs, but i live with a cat. its my roommate's
if you killed it, you could have a dog
ummmm, nevermind, lets just say i hate all animals
books or movies?
it depends
no, you have to pick one (do i really have to, creepy bald man? i don't think so)
fine, movies, but only if they're good
you're awfully non-committal. but i agree, some movies are horrible. like ones from france. And italy.
i took a french & italian film class & loved it. french films are my favorite. (abort! abort! how do we still have 1.5 minutes left?)
[few seconds later]
i'm studying to be a chiropractor at life college (he then went on to bash doctors, pharmaceutical medicine, etc.)
both my parents are physicians & i study public health (meaning: i think you are a complete freak who knows little to nothing about how medicine works)
oh, look, time's up!
there were only 2 guys i found remotely interesting. one was an international broker & we bonded over a mutual love for eastern europe until he told me he wasn't actually in my ward (i suspect he is finishing up a divorce). the other interesting guy was super hot & we talked about music for a while, but once i realized he was still in undergrad i lost interest there as well. Boy tells me i am too picky but (unlike my bishop) i don't think i need to settle just yet.
*these conversations actually happend exactly as recorded

cats or dogs? You should have said, "Babies. My biological clock is ticking, and I don't want to run out of time." That would have been funny.
Seriously though, you really can't judge someone after 2 minutes.
More importantly, it is not finding someone to marry but finding the right someone to marry.
Yikes. Glad to hear that it's not just Utah that's full of strange/creepy men.
This post entertains me so!
