Speed Dating Solves The World’s Ills

Gather round, children! It’s time for another episode of IM Conversation About Teresa Masterson Theater!

dmac: so. new teresa masterson article.

dmac: blog post, if you will.
dmac: it’s about speed dating. i think this one is fairly normal, though, until the end
anonymous reader: yes; of the teresa ouevre, this is the best so far
reader: until the end
reader: which is almost too contrived to be believed
dmac: also, she seems to be in a cab at the start, but not at the end: does she walk all the way from 12 lounge to south street?
reader: i know!
reader: i’d be way less scared of meeting strange men at a speed dating event than of meeting them while walking between university city and south street at night.
dmac: perhaps she took a cab. but wouldn’t she just take a cab right to her apartment?
reader: she says she “ducked into a neighborhood pub” after the homeless man on the street serenaded her
reader: maybe she took the cab to the pub
dmac: do you think nbc 10 reimburses cab fares? probably.
reader: yes, i bet she got the cash for it.
dmac: but this is definitely the first time she’s gotten introspective
dmac: “There are droves of people walking past us daily, standing in lines with us, sitting next to us on the train. Why aren’t we talking to each other?”
dmac: that’s fuckin’ deep.
reader: wait wait wait
reader: “So much could be solved if we all would just find the guts to talk to a stranger.”
reader: i’d like to see someone put that theory into practice
dmac: AIDS! The Iraq War! Homelessness!
reader: i’m going to start talking to the homeless guy on the harmonica outside my apartment.
dmac: and i’m going to talk to the transvestite prostitutes on my walks home!
reader: soon, the city will be wireless
reader: and people will be singing in the streets
reader: holding hands
dmac: and blogging about it.
reader: i’m totally signing up for email alerts for all of her stories.
