A distinct musk of EXPECTATION, FEAR and SEXUAL ENERGY descends over Vision this week… Affable young things Alex Ferguson, second year WDP student, and Sarah Dodds, second year Linguistics student attempt to find love…
What were you hoping for?
AF: A nice free meal and potentially a nice person. To be honest, I went for the food.
SD: Lots of free food, that he wouldn’t be a serial killer.
First impressions?
AF: Seemed confident, no awkwardness, we may have met before.
SD: Cute, smiley and friendly. I thought he physically wasn’t my type.
What did you talk about?
AF: Mutual friends, a lot of films. I’m struggling to remember. There was definitely films and family and home. Favourite film performances. Hers is Christopher Waltz in Inglorious Basterds.
SD: We talked about films. At points it went quite deep. I think the wine was flowing. I was pretty drunk.
Any awkward moments?
AF: Surprisingly no. She kept the conversation going really well. Could’ve been down to the wine.
SD: He wasn’t awkward or boring at all.
What did you eat?
AF: I had the lobster Bisque. I didn’t know it was a soup I just heard Lobster and thought I’d milk Vision for all its worth. I also had a stuffed crab, which it turned out came cold. Our waitress was lovely.
SD: I went for the most expensive thing, Anti- pasti and sirloin steak. He didn’t like the crab.
Best thing?
AF: At the risk or repeating myself, her interest in films. It was nice talking to someone in such depth about one of my main interests in life.
SD: I didn’t realise how many mutual connections we had. He was really endearing.
What did she/he wear?
AF: She wore a black dress I believe. There was definitely a black top. I didn’t see what was beneath the table.
SD: I can’t remember. I think he looked smart.
The most interesting thing you learnt about Sarah/Alex?
AF: She is known as the Posh Geordie because she doesn’t have a Newcastle accent despite apparently being from there.
SD: That he drops his knife every five minutes.
Did you go on anywhere?
AF: No, but we walked home. I think I was a bit drunk.
SD: I was going to go back for a smoke at his but I was a bit too drunk.
Did you kiss?
AF: No, but we had a lovely hug.
SD: No.
If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be?
SD: Either not get the stuffed crab or ask them to stick it in the microwave. It was nice, but weird that it was cold.
AF: I would drink less wine. You don’t realise how drunk I was.
Do you think they’d make a good lover?
AF: N/A
SD: You can’t ask that Milo!(Sarah giggles, bites her lip and looks coyly towards the floor)
Marks out of 10?
AF: For the amount of fun, at least a 9.
SD: 8.5. I had lots of fun.
