Speed Dating, Round Two

When a Groupon came along for speed dating, four different friends forwarded it to me; I assume that's because I raved about my last speed dating experience so enthusiastically or because my friends are worried that I'm on my way to being a spinster.  Either way I bought the Groupon and had a great time again.  The vibe was very different this time because I wasn't on crutches, and the venue was at a bar with pop music videos being played loudly (the last one was at a chill bistro).  It really was hard for me to concentrate when songs like "Thong Song" were pumping in the background; I don't even like that song but I still found myself dancing in my seat.

I wasn't really wowed with anyone, actually that's not entirely true...I don't remember how one guy and I instantly started a conversation about shivs and shanking, but we did, and that instantly led to the topic of prison sex (All in jest.  I think).  It was impossible to have a normal conversation with him after that.  So he wowed me, but it was the wrong kind of wow. In the end I wrote down the name of two guys and was matched with one of them.  What I remember about this match is that he was an energetic Asian guy and we talked about shadow puppets.

What I took away from the evening is that maybe I should have a stenographer follow me around to monitor my conversations.
