Another year, another date

A retrospective picture essay on the standouts of the 2007 crop:


"Samuel"

Referred by: Suellen

Rationale: "He's pretty tall, how tall are you? He's not seeing anyone!"

Memorable quotes:
"Whoa. You're ahh..ah..you're so...ahhh, I mean...you're..
stunning. I just never expected that you'd look...you'd..ahh...you seemed so..ahh..intelligent..."

"So, do you believe that the Bible is the one and only true word of God, perfect in every way?"

"I'm sorry, I've been talking for 45 minutes straight. It's your turn now. Talk."

Verdict: Suellen is no longer on my contacts list.




"Marc"

Referred by: Tom & Allen

Rationale: Tom: You both have similar senses of humor. I never get either of you.

Allen: I just love the idea of the two of you walking around together. Fuck, hilarious.


Memorable Quotes:

"Yeah, I dripped pus for, like, weeks."

"Am I disgusting you?"

"So, I got these tattoos so, like, I could tell people to fuck off without having to open my mouth"

Verdict: On reserve






"Shane"


Referred by: Jane

Rationale: "I've heard he's cute! And nice! Everyone has a crush on him! He's really cute!"

Memorable Quotes:

"...um..."

" . . . "

"so..."

Verdict: Great in the case I ever go deaf and don't want to miss much.





"Stefan"

Referred by: Jonathan

Rationale: "Everybody loves Stefan. He's too good to be true. Besides, he drives that car you like."

Memorable Quotes:

"I brought these for you because I heard they were your favorite flower."

"I helped my brother finance that theater a couple years ago, so I was able to get box seats for tonight."

"I decided to get rid of the boat. It just doesn't seem conscionable in this day and age."

Verdict: I'm sure he can do better.
