Define "best".

For example, I've found that my community college has a Language Partners Program, where hordes of people (about 90% female) from other countries who want to learn English show up, and practically throw themselves at the three native English speakers who are actually participating in the program. If I was desperate (which I am not, yet) it would be a great way to get laid. Long term? No. I'm currently betting on becoming a regular at a local Irish pub. The clientele is definitely around my age and attractive. I do need a wingman/woman to bring with me, though. Also, dancing classes in theory should be a good place to meet women. I'm hoping private dancing instruction is better than the community college system; in my prior class the class consisted almost entirely of older married women without their husbands, couples, and young horndogs like myself.

Thinking of joining a local org that goes hiking on the weekends. I guess I just found it strange that a story about the best places for singles to meet was somehow "news". :)

I was active in drama in high school but stayed far away from it in college. Now I want to get back into it again. Hope you enjoy the experience and make some nice new friends. Amy

[link\|http://www.thisamericanlife.org/pages/descriptions/99/135.html\|Julia Sweeney] told about working as an assistant bartender at a hotel. Act One. Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad. When she was 21, Julia Sweeney got a job as a bartender's assistant and stole between ten and fifteen thousand dollars in cash. She describes the thrill of stealing, and how she justified her thefts to herself, and, oddest of all, how she became a more religious Roman Catholic during her crime spree. Julia Sweeney is an actress and writer, a former cast member at Saturday Night Live; and star of her autobiographical movie God Said Ha!. (14 minutes) It's quite funny, and gives some insight as to why and how people convince themselves that what they're doing is fine. I can't find a transcript, but free audio links are there. Cheers, Scott.
