I've been having a really hard time coming up with 8 (eight!) things I want in a perfect lover. I'm sorry, Jeline. I don't mean to be rude by not posting anything. I guess I've just had a total attitude turn-around with regards to relationships. When I was younger I used to be very specific about what I wanted in a guy, i.e. he needs to be 1)left-handed 2)attractive 3)intelligent, and 4)he should know how to sing or at the very least carry a tune.

The audacity of it hasn't escaped me - that I could require all these from someone when I myself am surrounded by neuroses. So over the years, I've tried to let go of rigid standards, but not until recently have I discovered that I don't see the point in them anymore. I've been telling my friends that I wish I could be less critical and dismissive and more open, and just like that I'm finding out that I could be all that.

I just think it'd be a bit ridiculous/unfair to list qualities that I know my guy doesn't have. I really really wish he liked Broken Social Scene too. I gave him The Mix CD - you know, the one that took me weeks to make, that I was going to give to the boy. He listened to it maybe once, twice and dismissed Gainsbourg's Je T'aime Moi Non Plus as gibberish. But maybe I don't really mind that much. I'll trade that for the fact that he likes doing my laundry with me.

I tag Drey, Bodge, Kathy, Deo, Nikki, Karen, Tina, Cynthia.
