The List.....

I was talking with a friend the other day.....she is a nice little girl who became my friend for some reason i can't remember....but i'd like to think we're close....Anyway, she asked me to write down a list of what i want in a girl....or my "IDEAL" woman. This was a very unusual request that i thought i'd indulge. I'm always waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet. But just as i think everything would be perfect....something always comes up.....Something always comes up.... I'd like to think that all i want is someone simple. Just like everyone else. But life is never simple. And i think i made my life screwy complex. So, maybe a list is a nice thing to do so as to guide me.....in a very weird sorta way.........Here goes nothing............................................................................(after 30mins)........Ok,ok....I made a list....and i read it....it was pretty ridiculous! Really...that's why i never get to stay long with anybody. Terrible. Still, I really am not the kinda guy who just settles for anyone. So i texted my same friend....i told her my list was outrageous and maybe it was a bad idea....so she asked me...."What are the non-negotiables?"....then i thought about it. And told her that we have to be Kiss Compatible....She has to get along with my family and friends....Sweet, and loves me very dearly for who i am...She said...."There...is that not reasonable?". It's nice to have friends like these during days like these. I'm going to sleep it off... :)
