Speed dating for goths

[lOki]

It's been tossed out there. Please single folks only.

If we had speed dating, would you attend?

Would you be more likely to attend if we turned it into some form of event.... Like a ball?

I'll be there if you there . . .

*knock on door, startling due to lack of a delivery order being placed. Opens door*

*woosh of air, two darts hit center of chest. StormKnight collapses*

*Wakes up bound in chair at speed dating event*

I'll bring the rope

[StormKnight (1)]

I'll bring the rope

I suspect as much. I was wondering why there was the smell of wet burlap, maple syrup, and pancakes. *looks down at right shoulder for any other surprises*

[Destroit]

Rofl, if I get to make the topic cards, I'ma have trouble behaving

Sample card

Men: Talk about your dong size. If under 8" mention that you have a six figure job and drive a Corvette.

Women: Pull down your shirt a little. If you have no cleavage talk about how you're great in bed.

J/k, I'd behave, I promise

[EnViOuSPoPpEt]

I will do the " knocking out"

I read a book* this past weekend that had some interesting items in it which may be of some use to the organizers of this event.

Psychologist Arthur Aron devised a series of 36 questions to increase acquaintanceship and intimacy in relative strangers. The questions start relatively innocuously and increase in intensity. He devised the questions to get to what is considered the second and third tiers of acquaintanceship: personal concerns and identity claims. Not all of the questions were given in the book* I read, but may be somewhere on the net. Aron calls them the "sharing game." The professional text in which the "sharing game" is described is: Aron, A., Melinat, E., Aron, E. N., Vallone, R. D., & Bator, R. J. (1997). The experimental generation of interpersonal closeness: A procedure and some preliminary findings. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 23, 363-377.

Also, in Snoop, Gosling touted the OCEAN method of identifying traits as one that is highly competitive (and pretty much preferred in the field now) to Myers-Briggs. A 120 question test utilizing this method should be available at drj.virtualave.net. More webpages with information on OCEAN (also known as the Big Five) is listed in Snoop's notes: http://darkwing.ugor...ay/bigfive.html and http://www.personal....criptions.html.

Do we have a date and a place yet? I'm like twoooo seconds away from being done with the topic cards, sorry for the delay, Holidays happen which caused beer and beer caused me to procrastinate a liiiiittle bit. I should have said I would turn them in a little later because I should know better by now that every year at around this time I binge drink for a week or two....muh bad .

I'm still looking for good matching questions for the questionaire. PM me anything that you find.

[StormKnight (1)]

January is right out for me. I found out today that I have to remain available for a weekend to do 20+ hours of surgery on that weekend (Saturday and Sunday,) to finish off one of the big projects before the deadline. The problem is I will not know about the weekend until the Friday before it. I am basically at the mercy of the chief resident who heads the project and his call schedule.

*wanders off, grumbling of whether it is up, then over or over, then up*
