I write very eloquent entries in my sleep.

It's true.

Well, I've finally made a list. A mental one at least. You know, like the list. The list of things, qualities will you, deemed necessary in potential suitors. It's much more simple than I thought it would have been. I guess that has to do with the fact that I'm compiling this list of traits at 22 years young, and not 15. Anyone who thinks the simpler times occurred in their youth is lying. Childhood is serious. Anyway, here's my list- or what I can remember of it at least. I guess if I ever have to join match.com all I'll have to do is copy and paste.

1. You must be kind... Like ferociously kind.

Oxymoron? Yes. Rare? Totally. Number one on my list for a reason? You bet your bottom dollar, kid! I will never again date anyone who isn't exceptionally kind. It won't work. Note: Having kind eyes boosts your kindness rating but the insides must match that outpouring of kindness via orbital region.

2. You have to at least kind of think of the future.

Yea. I said it. I'm not getting any younger, people. Just kidding, I'm turning 17 next month! But really... I don't mean you have to throw out wedding dates upon our 3rd hang out, I just mean you have to be going somewhere. It's vague, I know, but it's supposed to be. You just can't be a bum. You have to have held down some kind of employment at some point in your life. You can't be sucking off the parental tit. You must have goals, more importantly dreams, and most importantly drive and discipline to help you arrive at both those destinations.

3. You must have the ability to pry my white knuckled fists off of being the boss lady.
Yea. I said it. Again. I'm type A. Heeeey! Type A in the house! Luckily, some well timed (or poorly timed) jokes will do the trick... So maybe #3 should be a plea for a generally humorous attitude toward most, if not all, circumstances. Whaterr. How not type A of me to care.

4. You must subscribe to some form of creative expression as a release for both life in general and the pain this world causes (mentally or otherwise).
Trust me.

5. You must like me and/or find me the least bit charming and/or humorous and/or special and/or enjoyable to be around.

I figure if you like this curly headed broad, you won't go a-traveling to find yourself another. As much as I enjoy regular episodes of Sister Wives, I wouldn't jump on the polygamy bandwagon. I've also seen Cheaters. It scares me. So I'd like to avoid any reason to be on that show. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding however...

Listen people, this list is incomplete. I can't remember all of the great things I wrote inside my noggin before falling asleep last night. I'm sure they'll come back to me. Feel free to add to the list.
