Speed Dating 101
The library is a scary place, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. The University Cafe situated right beside the library is far more entertaining, not to mention the most likely place to find a date. Library studiers are always thirsty for coffee, and conversation-with anything. I sit, watching a student who I will soon know as Mike as he sips his frappucino (over)enthusiastically on the couches alone. His eyes are really wide, like Mr. Burns as an Alien. Mike didn't used to be a close talker, but he recently went through library rehab entailing really scary rooms that are lit just like the Saw movies where you do nothing but read textbooks for hours. When Mike emerged from the catacombs he just really wanted someone to talk to about his Islam mother and what he thought of 16 year old girls. One minute I'm staring across the room wondering if the poor kid is Jewish or not and the next minute he is a close talking machine. It's a crazy world out there, keep your friends close, but keep your pets closer.
