i've never played spin the bottle. and i know other people my age who never have either. i think about it a lot and i don't really know why. maybe it's the idea of not having to initiate anything; not having to assume, but just doing what the game tells you. the rules are simple: the bottle points to him, kiss him. the bottle points to her, kiss her. it's like a test drive. it doesn't cost anything (i don't mean like a prostitute, but you know, emotionally. okay i just fucked up the metaphor), and you get to go car to car without having to commit. yes, i'm still just talking about kissing. i may have gotten a little ahead of myself, yeah, yeah.
anyway um...what? oh, right. so then i'm 25, right? and yeah i still think about spin the bottle and i still want to play it for the first time. but lately i've been thinking a lot about speed dating. you know, like in "the 40 year old virgin"? you go from table to table for like five minutes or whatever and talk to different people and see if there seems to be any kind of connection there. i just think it's interesting. how much can you learn about a person in that time? i guess it depends on who you are and what they're willing to reveal. personally i could learn a lot about a person in five minutes if they were game. i would hope they'd be game if they're actually at fucking speed dating. that would be lame otherwise. does it cost money? it must cost money.
when i'm first getting to know someone, i like to ask lots of random questions. they don't have to be particularly deep or thoughtful or...anything. just things like, what's your favorite color, cereal, when's your birthday, do you drink coke or pepsi...these things are handy to know later on. and the coke or pepsi answer says a lot about a person. and mountain dew people are their own breed.
i don't know where to find speed dating. i wonder what kinds of people actually do that. people like me, apparently. i wonder how many people there have played spin the bottle. maybe i'll add that question to my list.

:] no but really, i have never played spin the bottle. its so simple really. if only life were so easy. i guess its a good way to escape the mess of romance.
*pulls out pepsi bottle*
I've never played Spin the Bottle and never wanted to, and it's pretty much my worst nightmare. Although I think Speed Dating probably comes in a close second, hah.
does it count if you play spin the bottle by yourself?
cause im pretty sure ive done that. most likely accidentally, after finishing off a glass of champagne, falling to the floor and then spinning it so i could see the sparkles dance in the moonlight.
then once i realized the bottle had landed on me...i had to follow the law and kiss myself. passionately.
hmmm...
thank you for that arlan. so much.
I've never played spin the bottle. There's only ever been one party where people were actually playing it and at that time I hadn't really kissed anyone yet so my first time was not going to be during spin the bottle, haha.
