Wow. Who likes writing this thing?
I think my defining characteristic is...man, I just typed that and I could not begin to answer it. I guess that explains it as best as anything. I am a person who loves learning about everything, including herself. It changes and grows everyday and I wouldn't have it any other way, I suppose.
I LOVE to laugh, so anything that promises that would be great for me. I think, if I tried, I could find something funny in almost anything (thank God). Irreverent to highbrow. Anything.
Learning is so important to me, and I've actually found that it is just as important to me that my future mate (yeah, that was strange to type) be as interested in that in himself.
Someone once suggested I make a list of all the things I wanted in my romantic life. Here are some of my favorites:
--calls my brothers on their birthdays
-- who will wake up and on a whim start a project
--recognizes goals change
--understands the difference between an opinion and a fact
--is friends/friendly with ex-girlfriends
--kisses/hugs friends including girls and gays
--walks with his hand on the small of my back
--will movie hop...as a sport
--shares embarrassing details with people without a thought
--guts over brains anyday
--sleeps with the tv on
--polite but irreverent
--trusts that if I’m not everything on his list, that i have other traits he loves that he didn’t even think of that more than make up for it
--comfortable being the center of attention himself, but comfortable with me being that also

Wow. That looks inCREdibly anal. Good thing I'm aware that life is ever changing and NOTHING beats that "je ne sais pas".
