Being pretty bored and whatnot, I decided to go on a speed dating thing to meet new people at the college there a few days ago.
Me: Hello.
Girl #1: Hi, what's your name?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #1: oooookay, tell me a bit about yourself.
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: Hello.
Girl #2: Hello. My name's girl #2, what's yours?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #2: eh... so where're you from and all y'know.
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: Hello.
Girl #3: Hey.
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #3: To divulge what?
Me: My name.
Girl #3: I didn't ask...
Me: Oh, sorry...
*beep*
Me: Hello.
Girl #4: So... who are you?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #4: can you tell me a bit about yourself then?
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: Hello.
Girl #5: Hi, what's your name?
Me: well they call me Jane, but that's not my name.
Girl #5: What? Is your name Jane?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #5: Where're you from and all?
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
(10 minutes later)
Me: Hello.
Girl #10: I'm Girl #10, and you are?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #10: Riiiiiiigggghhhtt... What course are you doing and all?
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: Hey.
Girl #11: Hey, what's your name?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #11: uh-huh, talk a bit about yourself.
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: Hello.
Girl #12: Hi, what's your name?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #12: Where're you from and all?
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*no beep*
Me: eh... isn't it time the buzzer should beep?
Girl #12: It should've, mustn't be always the same length or something. What's the 'another thing'?
Me: em... well I had planned that the monologue would end mid-senten-
*beep*
(continues the same for an hour)
Me: Hello.
Girl #37: Hi, what's your name?
Me: Oh I'm not at liberty to divulge that as this is going to be scripted exactly as it happened somewhere and cannot disclose that information just now.
Girl #37: oooookay, tell me a bit about yourself.
Me: and what? you can get a perfect judge of me from a minute or two of an introduction, that wouldn't even be long enough to get over the initial impression and fright you've received from the fact I'm recording this. I can't see how this speed dating thing took off if you get what I'm saying and another thing-
*beep*
Me: See, your the last person and I haven't managed to get a word out of anyone... the system doesn't work!
Girl #37: Y'know I was with you already, you said the exact same thing... why don't you actually tell me something about yourself.
Me: Well... I find repetition very funny. Then I noticed I had every girl saying the exact same thing and had to edit it cos that seemed far too robotic... as a result I don't even know if the original idea was funny. FORGIVE ME READERS!
Girl #37: Stop shouting at your tape recorder, Nutter!

So you got plenty of action then?
Oh your speed dating venture sounds great. Did you get any matches at the end of it? ha ha
you've captured the experience perfectly.
andrew: i didn't even get any blogging fodder. i was thinking each girl would have a posts worth of stuff to ridicule.
stel: nope, luckily it wasn't full on proper speed dating so no one did.
rosie: well it seems like something too structured to ever be different.
...even meeting someone pissed outta your mind in a nightclub would give you a better idea of who they are from the smell of whatever drink they were taking.
Sounds succesful, I raise my glass to you sir...
and stuff.
