Top Ten Reasons Sarah Should Never Attend A Speed Dating Activity Even When She Is Required To Be There To Take Pictures

10. Because someone will indefinitely talk her into participating despite her fervent attempts not to and excellent excuse that is the camera in her hand....because she's a pushover.

9. Nine out of ten of the people attending got lost somewhere on their way to the 7th grade.

8. Despite her tactful superpowers, she won't put up with people with stupid prejudices like "I'm done talking to you because you went to BYU for a semester." Children! Please!

7. Social skills are scarce, and limp hands are many. If there is one thing that Sarah learned on her mission, that is how to shake hands without feeling like you're shaking a dead fish, and how to parallel park. She's a master.

6. Everyone seems to think that she's into them and then either run away and hide and glue themselves to her because she has this stupid smile plastered to her face all the time.

5. The one decent guy she spoke to was oh so engaging until he realized that she does not yet have a degree. Seriously, night and day. Was done. And the gentleman graduated less than a year ago.

4. She prefers clinging to her camera for dear life and wandering solo, taking pictures, rather than attempting to fall all over the guys who got lost somewhere on their way to the 7th grade.

3. In an attempt to escape to a deserted corner momentarily, the scariest guy that ever she did meet comes and sits next to her......

2. And asks her name and age 5 times.......

1. And speaks repeatedly of how he is an entrepreneur, and marketer, and joining the navy, and working on "system" that facilitates the ability to focus and focus and be more productive while incorporating focusing techniques that increase the ability to focus and learning through focusing techniques......while stopping repeatedly and staring at the corner, at me, through me, and at the ceiling for a good ten seconds at a time....in the middle of his sentences. And after his last lengthy pause and staring session, looks at her intently, and whispers "this is privelaged information....I'm serious" and then began staring once again.*

*She does not mean to poke fun at this dear soul who obviously has some issues. Just trying to prove the point that this is what she spends her time doing if ever she tries to be "social".

PS. She's really not as bitter and antisocial as she might sound. This is her venting place. And after listening the John Mayer's Gravity and singing backup in her car, she felt much much better.
