Hey girls!
I had an idea hit me yesterday for a fic but, I'm only going to make it into a 3-5 part shortie. Since it's only a short fic there won't be a lot of room for huge parts.

It'll be a fic on speed dating. I'm not sure if anyone has done it before or even heard of it. Basically, it's a bunch of people in a room and you talk separetly with each person of the opposite sex for a short amount of time and then move on to the next person. It's an organized event and from what I've heard it can be fun. I've never done it myself but, think it would be an experience to try.

So, if you sound interested just leave your basic info. If the fic goes well, there is a possibility that I may extend it into a longer one.
Thanks to anyone who replies. :)

~Stacy~

^_^ I was just reading something about speed dating. That'll definitely make for an interesting story...

Anyway, here's my info, darling:

Name: Samantha Greer, nick: Sam, Samma, Sammy, Red

Age (between 21 - 28): Ideally 23-25, but I don't care if its other than that.

Personality Description (detailed): I'm a door-mat. As in, I basically let everyone walk all over me. Tread on me should be my theme phrase. I'm pretty reserved. I'm not very emotional with other people around, except my best friend. I'm a kind person, who everyone says is "soooo sweet". Bah. I'm friendly with pretty much everyone. I'm tolerant, and not at all against, homosexuals. I'm pro-life, and I have spiritual and physical/mental reasons, but am by no means one to push my beliefs on others. Its your body, this is mine. I'm a listener. I'll be talking to people and know things just from hearing them, and they're confused as to how I know it. I'm the shoulder in most of my relationships. I rarely cry. When I was younger I guess I subliminally convinced myself that whole crying=weak. The only person who can make me cry is my dad, and occasionally my best guy friend. I'm really competitive, especially in school and when I get into a game. I suck at video games. I love to read and write, and am a total daydreamer (so I zone out a lot), although I rarely remember my dreams. When I do they're totally weird.

Hair & Eye Color: red hair, hazel (mostly green) eyes
Height: 5'5"
Body Type: thin-ish, flat
Scars: an 1.5" slightly curved that runs between my middle and index knuckles on my left hand.
Clothing Style: I'm really casual and modest most of the time. I usually wear pants (mainly blue jeans), but if not its a funky skirt that goes at least to just above my knees. I wear tees, blouses, tanks, pretty much everything. I'm pretty eclectic. Shoes? Black or brown low-top Chucks or green slip-on Vans or if I can get cheap flats in brown or black. If I'm in a 'pretty' mood (as in not lazy) I'll wear heels or boots. And if its cold or raining, my "Ugg" boots that are actually "BearPaws". My favorite colors to wear are green, brown and black. I like the simple layered look (meaning, I hate to wear 4 different shirts at once...).

Dislikes:most pop music (country music is okay, grew up on that), Britney Spears, spinach, skimpy clothes, Justin Timberlake, pink!, being paranoid, feeling like i have to impress people...Cocky people piss me off. And people that get off putting others down and think they're 'ohsomuchbetter' because of this or that, rap music and I HATE HATE HATE broken/empty/unfulfilled promises

Favorites:
Song: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Elton John, Cozy in the Rocket - Psapp
Food: I have a burning sweet tooth and am definitely a carnivore. I love sloppy joes and cheeseburgers. Oh, and Orbit gum (especially the orange and sweet mint flavors. oh em gee.)
Drink: I like pulpy orange juice, and apple juice. Love love love Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke. Love wine coolers, but also hard liquor. Pretty much anything BUT beer. I refuse!
Season: I love fall for the colors and light jackets, and winter for the heavy clothes and snow. =)
Colour: green
Movie: Timeline, Red Eye and Pride and Prejudice (05)
Book: Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, anything Jane Austen (esp. Persuasion) and Deception Point (Dan Brown)
Magazine: Vogue. Its just pretty to look at. TeenVogue, too, I guess. And I like to go through Seventeen and Cosmo, too.
Quote: I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Flower: Calla Lily

Guy you would like to be with: Gerard Butler

Banner: Cintia Dicker

ETA:
Tattoos - a Camarque (picture) cross on my left shoulder blade (black outline; the cross = faith, heart = charity, anchor = hope), and "aequitas&veritas" in a celtic font on the small of my back (translates to "justice&truth")
Piercings - just two on each ear
Jewelry - my favorite necklace has the pendant of what looks like a gold coin, with a cross and two rings about it and it says I WILL WAIT (an abstinence necklace), i wear a claddagh ring with turquoise in the center on my left ring finger, and usually funky earrings :)

I love your fics Stace. If you need my info I'll post it here, do you still have it from Dance with the Debutante?

:heartbeat: Pat

Name: Real Name: Liz Peters
Fic Name: Alexis Jones, Miranda Peterson or Alexandra Parker

Age: Real age: 22
Fic age: between 15-25 years of age.

Personality Description (detailed): Normally I'm a nice girl but most of the time, I have this quiet pissed off mood and mostly that is due to the fact that I'm either Tired, having to do two or more things at once or if I have to do something that I don't want to do (Or if someone is really pissing me off). And when I act like this, I act like a spolied two year old brat and then some. I normally don't act like this publicly (so that's why I said a quiet pissed off mood, I don't want a cat fight when I go into a pissy mood emotionally). I'm a Total "Yes" girl, and even though it's sad in a way, this is how I act when I'm nice (if I'm being sickly sweet, which is kept to a bare mimmium). I love to interact with people, but most of the people that I know (I'm not saying you guys do it all the time nor do it at all, but you do it some times) think I'm the typical high school geek. Normally that's fine with me, but if I want to talk to someone about something, that can hurt. Getting back to the subject, The reason that I'm a total Yes girl is that I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I will politely say no, but most of the time I say yes. When I don't like a person, I either get all bratty on them or act like I'm in my normal quiet pissed off mood. But if I do like that person, then I will respect and honor that person. That and I will act like my normal self. I do get a little overprotective, but that's a rare case. Finally I'm a Virgo, but I'm a really lazy person. And I mean Lazy!. I hate it sometimes but I'm ok with it. I'm great with secrets too. (I know I misspell that word but I can't spell it right)and if you want, you can PM (For the fourms that I'm on) or Email you on how I'm great with them. But normally I'm a quiet, nice and dependable girl.

Physical Description: Hair & Eye Color: Black with brown roots for hair and blue/grey with a hint of brown on the left eye
Height: 5'
Body Type: Beer belly with love handles with baggy arms and big legs...I weigh at around 200-250lbs
Scars (description & location): two on my face (one on the left side of my forehead and the other on the right side of my nose) from the chicken pox and two on my right arm...one from a burn and the other...near my wrist...is from a hyper peroid in October of 1998 when I was trying to get something from the foot of my bed. I had an old open mattress at the time and one of the boxsprings came out at the foot of the bed as well as the middle of my bed. As I was trying to get something, I cut myself (From left to right if I remember).....luckly I missed a major vessel in my wrist..so I'm fine.
Tattoos (description & location if any ): None
Piercing (description & location if any): None
Other jewelry wron (besides piercings): Don't usually wear jewelry.
Clothing Style: Preppy Goth mixed with American White Trash...complete with stains

Your likes and dislikes. (You can go from your taste in music to what turns you off/on in a person.): Likes: I love going to the Movies, going on the internet, hanging out with my friends, reading comic books and comic strips and watching Tv. I also love hanging around Chicago, having a good time at Navy Pier or at Taste of Chicago (If you never been to Chicago, you must come in Late June/Early July..cause that's when the Taste of Chicago happens...it has so many types of great food and good music!! Even if you are a heavy blues fan.)

Hates:I hate the fact that people think I'm the author. I also hate it when I have to do two or more things at once. I don't like most fruits and I hate Green and Red peppers. I also don't like the Summer and Spring due to the fact that it brings out the worse of my allergies. My parents arguging about the same things and/ stupid stuff. Most Importantly, I hate Stupid People (Who think that they are the shit...pardon my french)...They are soooo dumb sometimes...believing whatever is on the news and they also think that they own the world....espically at my job! (I also hate being in a huge crowded area..even if that space is small and/or thin. God, I hate that...Think of it as my version of Clastrophobia...I just don't like being in a space with a lot of people

What do you look for in a man: Phyiscally I want a 100lb person and at around 5'5" tall (at the least). I don't want the Brad Pitt looks but the Chris Robinson (of the Black Crows + who is married to Kate Husdon) look.

personaily: well, considering this is a speed-date thing, I am not sure, I don't look the best of muyself on the firts five minutes because I need time to warm up. I stay there glancing and people, twitching and touching my hair, but when I relax I am very talkative, although, even if I am outspoken, I am very composed.
