After reading an acquaintance's blog yesterday (when I should have been working on something), I decided that I was going to list all the qualities I look for in a woman.
So I gave it some thought on the train while listening to my iPod and reading my first pocket book of Strangers in Paradise (after finishing the first this morning, I immediately ordered parts 2 & 3).
Then I gave it some more thought this morning while listening to Lewis Taylor and...
...I don't know.
I know what I've had, what I've loved and what I've hated.
But I don't know what I need in my life right now.
The "me" who was in a relationship a year or so ago doesn't exist anymore.
Like certain animals who periodically shed their skin, I have a tendency to shed skin after every relationship.
There are certain consistencies but certain things that have definitely changed.
I'm a much more openly geek than I used to be.
I like to be alone more.
I rarely talk on the phone unless it is for confirmation of plans.
I used to be die-hard about looking for people who I had a bunch of things in common (favorite movies, TV shows, restaurants, brand of soap, etc.) because I still think there isn't anything more fun than sharing a passion with someone.
But now I find myself attracted to be people I have little to nothing in common with.
I guess the whole point of this was that I realized this morning that I don't know what this "me" (Version 4.0) really wants in a woman anymore.
The only thing all we can agree on is that I have to think she is funny and (harder of the two) she needs to think I am funny. Because I am going to make a lot of bad jokes and if you are not even slightly amused, we might as well skip dessert and I'll just drive you home.
