So look, two pastors were....

[Stark]

I need a date for the Marine Corps ball coming up in a month or so. November 14 I believe it is. I'm stationed down in 29 Palms, CA and don't know anyone here whatsoever. I bought tickets thinking a friend from LA would make it, but no go. So now I have an extra ticket. Would anyone, preferably of the female persuasion, be interested in going? Everything will be taken care of as far as transportation and all that.

Here's the msot recent picture I have of me.... http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v231/67/15/17209302/n17209302_35146144_2497.jpg

A year ago I would have said no. But these days...

CA's new motto. Give us your poor, your sick, your mentally depressed and your singles. We'll make them into a community.

Can I have a girlfriend, too?

[Mirana]

Why stop there? I personally want a harem (it's just the upkeep is expensive, so....need more money first).

Good luck, Stark....

[Ilaekae]

Stark's the one being groped...

[aesir]

this situation is pretty much the definition of what escort services are for. Go throw down a few hundred bucks and have the hottest sluttiest girl at the ball.

aBUURRN :D

[Stark]

I'm actually the one doing the groping Ilaekae.... :P I'm the fairly sun-burned man in the striped polo. :D

No, I'm not paying a few hundred bucks for some hooker. If I wanted that, I'd just go to Vegas. The reason I posted it in here was because I'm more comfortable with the site, I'm new to the entire state and I figured an artist from CA.org would be the next best thing to actually having a girlfriend (no, I'm not a loser....just in the USMC). So yeah, now you know my deal and I have only a few days to get back to my Staff Sergeant so he can get my Dress Blues taken care of (Asian people in America with dry cleaning and uniforms... O_O )

[Ilaekae]

I knew which one you were, you walking wrecking ball. So where's the little twerp's left hand? I'm thinking this is some mutual military "salute?" :P

[corspufo]

My wife and I were supposed to go to the ball this year too with her cousin and his wife, but he got deployed. So no go. Sounds like fun though.

BTW, this does not sound like hooking up. When you're in the Marines I would imagine finding people that share a love of Concept Art and such are hard to come by. Also, 29 Palms is quite a drive from practically everywhere in LA and the OC. Now are you at 29 Palms permanently or are you just there for training. My cousin was down at Pendleton.

Also, I'm imagining that this is just looking for a friend and not so much a booty call, right? Well good luck to you, and thanks for Serving dude. Take care.

[Black Spot]

Wish I was 20 years younger and not living the UK or married – you’re cute. You want an art buddy to have something to talk about at the do. Wish you luck.

[Stark]

I'm in 29 palms for training. Who is your cousin corspufo? I doubt I know him, but you never know. And you're right, it's not hooking up or anything. If I could spend the ball with someone who shares some kind of interest in something, then that would be a plus. I've heard it's really fun, but now that I can't get a...a..date...I'll have to return my tickets or sell them to someone who is going.

And Ilaekae, Don't ask Don't tell right? :P

[Ilaekae]

I never did... :P

I feel bad for you. Isn't there anyone in the area that might be interested in going? Even another artist or some clerk you see every day--just tell her the truth--she might enjoy a night of not waiting to be groped...

[Arshes Nei]

You should know better now, there are no girls on the internet!

[Brashen]

You should know better now, there are no girls on the internet!

But what bout the girls on msn?

[thrilafrommanila]

oh the marines ball, my parents have this nice studio-y picture they took from there, i alway thought it was their wedding picture...

good luck though, i'm unfamiliar with CA, are you in camp pendleton?

[Stark]

Well, no go on this situation. Tickets are gone and I asked too late. Thanks for looking in this thread. Guess I'll go find a good dark closet and just....cry. :P

TOOTLES!

[Black Spot]

I'm really sorry you didn't get a date. Make friends with a few girls that are nice to talk to so you don't have to go though this again.

I had a guy pull out of a similar situation and spend the next two days phoning to find someone free, so I can sympathise. I got a migraine during the do and went home early. Stress is a killer of good times. Also banged my knee from falling over doing the Can-Can. This dance is a killer. Don't want to talk about the time it made my dress move round my body and I had four boobs.

[corspufo]

Stark: He is Gnry. Sgt. Reichert. Used to be part of the 3-1, but got transfered to MI which was a great move. Now he's applying for Warrant Officer.

Black Spot: Four boobs? And I thought the 3 boob chick in Total Recall was hot. We have a winner!!

Arshes Nei: You might want to let Google know about the no girls on the internet thing. Because if that's true, then I need to take a shower, rip my eyes out and burn them.
