This is what is called a "blog", otherwise known as a public online journal. It will document personal / professional updates. Warning: May contain inside jokes, discreet arrogance (pardon the paradox - pardon the alliteration), and other forms of absurdity. I'd rather you not use what I've written in these entries against me, but I'm 99.9% sure you will. Prove me wrong.

beware of vexation

The hurricane is beating us to a pulp.  Already two leaks in our roof.  Insurance won’t cover it, of course - if we even try to make a claim, they’ll just stop supporting us completely.  When I am an adult, I’m not going to let the government regulate my life.  Two reasons on how I know this: 1.) As proud as I am to be an American, I’ll be moving - hopefully to Scotland or maybe Italy, and 2.) I’m going to stay healthy and financially secure.  I’ve always been great with money, just like my dad.  I only spend it on what I really need; none of this OMG PURSES SHOES SUNGLASSES HAIR DYE MANICURE FACE CREAMS.  I like capitalism, but the spending?  Meh, not so much…

I’m going to be an incredible wife, aren’t I?  I hope whoever I end up with will be grateful for my practicality and sensibility.

Now, on to the heavy stuff.

I really don’t know if I’m going to find a person who is willing to change his life for me, simply because some of what I want is complete bull to most.  Here are the things I look for in a significant other:

  • respectable
  • loyal (ie honesty and genuineness)
  • noble
  • gentle
  • challenging
  • a bit of brute
  • a bit of a prince
  • a bit of a puppy
  • a bit of a sage
  • humility
  • pride
  • personable
  • warmth
  • cultured
  • relaxed
  • sweet family, one that likes me
  • has a stable cash flow
  • doesn’t have any female friends *red flag, amirite?*
  • Conservative (not a Republican - just a person who believes in smaller goverment and can recognize left-wing nonsensicality a mile away; and no, they don’t have to hate gay people - if you think that’s what I want or what I stand for, you’re off base.)
  • adores my family almost as much as I do
  • is not an Atheist and will also honor my Catholicity
  • a bit of a spontaneous romantic
  • thinks I am elegant and charming both personality wise and physically
  • likes my singing
  • doesn’t notice my flaws
  • sees only me
But what kind of person would I be if I asked a young man to be / do all of this just for me?  A fool.  However, I will not hesitate to become a solitary fool if my desires aren’t fulfilled.
I could even pull that off, you know.
