These things...

There are some absolutely necessary things that I have determined I need in a fellow/partner who will remain with me for any significant length of time.

I've decided to make a list, however asinine.

  1. Good Manners.  FUCKING IMPORTANT.  If someone does something nice for you, let them know that you noticed.  Don't lick their ass, DO acknowledge the kindness.  Asshole.
  2. MUSIC.  Must love and know music.  Must dig punk music, not shitty punk music, but decent punk music.  Must love almost every other type, aside from C-Rap.  AKA CRAP.  
  3. Sense of Humor.  Duh.
  4. Sass.  Yep.  Lotsa sass.
  5. Must love musicals.  Or at least like/tolerate them.
  6. Intelligence.  Please.  I cannot tolerate less for long.  I'm too fucking smart for my own good.
  7. Skills.  Art, Cooking, Music, Sex, Sass, READING, learning for FUN, history interest, technologically savvy, industriousness, activity (not JUST sexual).
  8. HONESTY.  Actually- that should be about number one.  HONESTY.  NO BULLSHIT.
  9. Respect my son.  He's more important to me than ANYONE ELSE (aside from me).
  10. Sexiness.  Doesn't mean rock hard abs, does mean sexy to me.  It's mostly in the attitude, I think.  So Sexual Confidence might be a better wording.
  11. Self-supportive financially.  I can't afford another dependent.
  12. Playfulness.  Make me laugh and play.  Play with me.  Play board games/word games/geeky games with me.  
  13. Have a good vocabulary.
  14. Availability.
  15. BOLLYWOOD.
  16. For reals.
  17. - Raven - THASS WASS UPP!!!
Raven helped me edit this list.  He does know me better than anyone else.   He also added number 17, the cutie.

So.  If you wanna come aknocking.  You had better have this list checked OFF, SUCKAAAH!

Addendum:  Um.  I forgot what I was going to add.  Oh well.  I'm sure I'll come up with something clever later...

...Oh yeah- These are not in any particular order, because most are equally important.  Most important on the list might be honesty and intelligence, with manners close third.  ALSO- I want to add that I have many friends who have most of these qualities, just no man-friends who have all of them.  Maybe my friend Rachel's comment that making lists tends to make the desired result manifest (MANifest- huhuhuh) will be true.  That would be cool.  And also horrifying.  Heh.

I keep adding to this list!  I guess it's going to be a work in progress, like myself.  I've added 5 items already today, and it's just noon!  Yowza!

ALSO- I do realize I'm a bit of a hypocrite and am not doing very well on the active side of things- I need to create more, get out more, do more.  I'm going to work on that.  Heck yes.  I aim to make myself proud.

Thanks for reading, good people!  I love you all!

Good point DAJ! I did say fellow, I think. I'll make it more clear somehow. I don't want to lose any friends over this post. :D

#15 - So why don't we ever see you at board game night?

Random Extracts said...

@JOEL: Good question. Probably because I'm afraid of meeting new people? Or because I don't know which games you are playing? I will NOT play Monopoly or Risk. Which board games do you play?

Unknown said...

We play Settlers of Catan, Roborally, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Race for the Galaxy, Arabian Nights, Fury of Dracula, Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Most times it's just us and our totally non-scary friend Annna. Sometimes we'll have some other random person over, but let us know if you're showing up, and we can avoid inviting anyone new with undetermined strangeness potential.

Remind me when board game night is. Also, I've never played any of those games. I'm more familiar with Boggle, Master Boggle, Bananagrams, Scrabble, and other word games, and of course Taboo, Cranium, etc.

The next game night is on the 25th at 6, and Felicia always makes dinner for it.
