It's the shoes that give it that extra kick.

Are you tired of the staples of dating: dinner and a movie? Looking for some fresh tasks to undertake with your significant other? If I had a significant other, I might be too. But unfortunately, my head is too full of strange ideas to make sense of it one way or the other. So for those of you who actually have someone to entertain, here are some alternative date ideas of my own eclectic creation for you to attempt. This item is sold as-is, no warranty.

1. Visit a modern art museum.
2. Attend a jazz event.
3. Go out for bubble tea and order the most unreasonable flavors you can think of.
4. Wander the mall and introduce yourselves to complete strangers.
5. Visit a cemetery on a rainy day and read depressing poetry out loud to each other.
6. Throw Frisbees/footballs across a busy intersection.
7. Practice ballroom dancing on a street corner.
8. Throw pennies off a freeway overpass.
9. Two words: Speed Scrabble
10. Go shopping for drapes.
11. Ride the elevator in a high-rise for hours, chatting.
12. Walk through the park, arm in arm, arguing furiously.
13. Learn to waltz...backwards.
14. Dress identically for an party and swear it was coincidence, then act indignant towards each other.
And the grand finale...
15. Confuse a cat.

Heather and I already play Speed Scrabble and go to cemeteries... We also quite enjoy impulsively touring grocery stores. We've been on a lot of dates... a very small amount of which have been to theaters or restaurants. We are looking into the possibility of a so-called 'dinner date' in the near future...

My friends and I at church the other day were discussing the best way to confuse a cat. My friends, Sarah and Tony, seem to think putting a hat on its head is the best trick, or put tape on their feet. I can't even remember why we were talking about it, but Sarah and Tony seemed to have the most experience with the subject. I didn't have anything to contribute but laughter—a lot of it actually.

Update: Heather and I tried a "dinner date." I recommend the venison steak. We started feeling awfully normal after a while though so we resumed our cemetery tour of Scotland. More details to follow on my blog.

I want to try some of these out sometime. Some of them are just plain..weird. Some are just plain dangerous, or could get you in trouble. But for some, I guess the thrill is worth it!
