okay, so I'm gonna go to work in a bit. I haven't had my coffee yet and so I have a headache. that sucks.
I have been working on my backpack, making it look all nice for school. I start school in 13 days. Oh, and I need to call Rhett so that I can get those girls together to do whatever it is we were going to do before everyone has to go back to school. hmmm...
oh yes, I was gonna make one of those lists, saying what I want in a husband.
1. Godly man, absolutely in love with God and excited about doing things for Him and talking about Him. I don't want a shallow faith kinda guy who just does the Christain thing as a hobby. He's gotta be totally devoted to God, and striving to be like Christ. I hate it when guys, and girls, say they are saved and think that that is all that needs to be done. They don't try to become more like Christ or try to bring Him glory. and that's sad.
2. He's gotta have a great, no, excellent sense of humor. It's absolutely mandatory or else I won't marry him. I love to laugh and have a good time. He's gotta be able to laugh at himself and at me when I do stupid things. cause I will do stupid things. sometimes on purpose. and random and/or spontanious things sorta fall under this category, I suppose. I love to embarrass guys because they are so cute when they are embarrassed so I think I'd like for him to be able to handle that well.
3. He's got to be smart. not like a freaking genious but it would help if he could spell better than I can. And, I suppose if he has a great sense of humor he will be smart because you have to have some sort of sense to be funny. I know I am pretty smart so it would probably cause trouble if he weren't as smart as me.
4. He has to have curly dark hair. I would have said 'I would LIKE him to have curly dark hair' but it has turned into a must. It's like a sign to me or something. so yeah, the guy HAS to have curly dark hair. blond hair will not due. and it doesn't count if he shaves his head--the hair has to be long enough that you can see the curls or else, what's the point? curls on guys are so hott.
5. I want him to be strong. he doesn't have to be Vin Diesel or anything but he has to be able to lift me over his head. yes, odd requirements but that sorta makes me feel secure that if need be my guy could just pick me up and run off with me. and as long as I'm talking about physical stuff, he needs to be taller than me, by like a head's height, I think. how tall is a head? hmmm...well you know, I stand in front of him and he can rest his head on top of mine without getting up on his toes. so yeah, you get it, taller than me. which won't be much of a feat because I am only 5'4''
6. He must like or at least generously tolerate Relient K. this is a biggie. I love Relient K very very very much. so if he doesn't like Relient K, it's like those girls who are like, 'if you don't like my dog than you can't like me' or something. my 'dog' is Relient K.
7. He's gotta be able to say no. To other people and to me. I get where it's almost like a game to try to get the guy to do what I think I want him to do and sometimes I just need to be told no. almost like I want him to figure out what I need to do and then make me do it. I guess I just need a guy who can sorta keep me in my place, liberally but still, I do need guidance, or boundaries I suppose. I dunno, again.
8. I would love for him to be thoughtful. I am a thinker, I think about people all the time and I am quite thoughtful and so I greatly appreciate that in other people. I DO NOT want him to be a sensitive wimpy thoughtful person. I want him to be a strong man, who is so in love that he thinks about me and is thoughtful. Not weird odd stalkerish stuff, just thoughtful...there is a balance, as in everything.
9. He's gotta respect his parents. I really don't care if his parents beat him as a child, I mean I care but, he should still have respect for his parents, at least their position over him. But especially his mom. He's gotta love his mom and respect her. I'll ask guys what they gave their mom for mother's day or her birthday and if it's nothing they better have an excellent reason why not.
10. okay, these are some things I always look for in guys: how they treat their mom, as before said, how they treat animals and how they treat children. They gotta be kind to animals, they are God's creations, and guys are always so cute when they are playing with kids or holding a baby. I love to see that tenderness in a guy. They can be tough and macho but then to see them with a little baby girl, awwwwwwwww...yes. I am not too fond of lots of kids because I have 2 toddlers in the house right now and most of the kids at church are brats but I like the idea of children. I wish I liked them more. I hope I like my kids because I plan on having some.
11. I'd like for him to be a thinker. Can he appreciate just sitting and thinking? can he understand why it makes me happy to just stare out a window? does he need to be alone sometimes? I think that's good. we are supposed to be still before God and how are we to do that if we do not go off by ourselves sometimes and be quite? granted, I love being loud and obnoxious but there is a time for quietness and solitude. time to think.
12. If he is not interested in poetry and writing, that's fine but I would like for him to be able to appreciate the arts. I love the arts, I ummm...participate in them? that didn't sound right. I do artsy things like write, paint, draw, calligraphy, and sew and do creative things like that and I would like for him to appreciate the beauty in those things.
13. I would like for him to have well-thought-out opinions about things. it makes for good conversations. also shows that he's a thinker.
14. He can think I'm silly for some of the things I like. He can laugh at me when I act stupid. But I want him to have a high view of me. I want him to see me as a princess, not as his servant or something. Sure I may be silly but he better love that. I want him to be delighted in who I am and help me work on the things that are not delightful. I don't want someone who is always 'putting up with me'. I want the things that would usually annoy other people to tickle him.
15. so far as status goes, this is a hard thing to explain without sounding arrogant. I just want us to have respect for each other. like when I see him I'll think 'he's too good for me' and that we he sees me he'll think 'she's too good for me' but that we will still have the guts to talk to each other and find that we are perfect for each other. or at least very close to perfect. and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony. haha. well, this is a wish list, right? not everything on here has to come true. there are only a few essentials I guess.
there are most likely more. if I think of more, I'll come back and add them. okk.
