abstract miscellania
I'd like to meet:
Looking for a girl with a beautiful smile who likes to laugh so I get to see it a lot. She should be a talented artist of some sort and take an interest in the world outside of herself. She should have an appreciation for all kinds of good music and have an open mind for good movies and the like. She has to have a profound understanding of issues like love and romance. She should love unconditionally when she chooses to love but not love just anyone. She should be kind to strangers, non-judgemental, and empathic. She should like to go out and have fun but should also consider a night in pajamas in front of the tv as a date. She should think of herself as someone who deserves to be treated like a queen, but she should appreciate this treatment as if she never expected it.
And her name should be Shannon. Yes, that would be convenient, since I've married her.
