A man who takes me to exotic lands without moving an inch. Who moves with the grace of a large spotted cat. Who is aware that the cat would devour him if it were only slightly larger. Who is larger than life. Who knows that life is but a dream. Who knows that the dream is not mere chance but can be intricately constructed. Who has constructed his own version of what it means to be alive. Who is truly alive. It would also be an added bonus if this person were to possess the rare quality of mental telepathy and heat inducing hands or some other super-power which could be used to fulfill my every desire,is not afraid of spontaneity, and ideas that at first glance appear to be really really bad ones. You also might dream of breathing under water, are intriguing without being banal and you secretly find the scene where two slugs have passionate sex in the pouring rain to French opera in Microcosmos one of the most erotic cinematic moments.
