Ten Wants from a 'Significant Other'


●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬●


1: MUST BE F-CKING SAD THAT MJ DIED OKAYS.



2: I'd appreciate if he does not resort to immature tactics when he doesn't get his way. Like saying deliberately hurtful things just to get under my skin, doing stupid things that are equivalent to a six-year old pulling another's hair. I'd appreciate him to have some maturity. I LOVE a man who can put up a fight, in fact, verbal sparring is something I enjoy immensely. And if he can tick me off like I tick off my mother, well, that's a huge plus point, not negative.

And if his only comeback is, 'Yeah...well...well YOUR SISTER'S BETTER IN BED!!'
then he's not worthy.
also I don't have a sister so he didn't do his research either.

In other words: want to be a bitch to me? Then please... I don't mind you spitting scathing, witty verbal abuse at me but don't stick your tongue out. That's just...lame.





3: I want someone on par with (or higher) in terms of cunning, sly and wit. I want a boy who can use people.

I don't really mean to the extreme, I don't mean someone who breaks hearts for a living, I mean...someone with people skills. Someone who can be PR. Someone who get make people feel comfortable, get on their good side...You know, salesman stuff.

I mean, someone who can woo me. ( In this case, I'm L and I have no social graces at all, so I need a Light to balance it. XD )

iMean Look at me!

I'm the epitome of dating failureness!

If I went on a speedating session, I'd die of Freak Out!

I don't necessarily want you to have a slick way with words, someone that can talk a cat into shaving it's skin off for the good of humanity.

I just want you to make me feel connected to you. Someone I can talk to. :)

Otherwise it's going to be a very awkward courtship process ಠ_ಠ


4: Someone of similar mental calibre. Not caliber, you fucked up American Firefox!

& I don't mean that you must be able to explain the workings of the universe, I mean your logic is as strong as mine, not necessarily working the same way. We can, for example, have totally different stances on a debatable topic (e.g Religion has been a curse or blessing to mankind?) and we can argue with each other for hours. That's how equal our intelligence levels should preferably be. And if we can trip each other up in vicious loops...Then I'm interested in you.

Mindfuckery sessions are almost as good as sex, anyway ;)





ahem.



5: I don't want to marry a celibate prude. Period.



seriously.
if I do, what the hell do you expect me to do with my secret cache of handcuffs and whipped cream? Give them away as Christmas presents?



6: Must respect me, all I stand for, and all I believe in, not that he has to agree of course.

Must understand that I am a hot air balloon, that all my life I've been floating away in an attempt to escape.


My love will be my only anchor to the real world,
and he has to understand that I am both reluctant to be anchored and brave for even thinking it possible.

Respect.














kthnxplz.

7: raison d'être.
"if anything, if any vice and virtue in this human life...Love may not be the reason to be, but while we're on the way to finding out what is the reason, Love is a pretty good distraction...and a pretty good answer, if nothing else."



8: Laugh,
love,
live together, and if we can do all three I promise I'll jump down into the abyss with you or pull you down with me, whether we be going to Heaven or Hell or Mu. :)




9: Understand that you are not getting a happy ending, my friend

Love is a cold and broken hallelujah, and yet - because of that - we still sing it.

If he's not ready to open his mouth, to stand up and sing for the one thing that has made and broken humanity...Then I suggest he find affection elsewhere because I, for one, will make and break his heart.



10: Define 'Compatible'? -

Romance, in general, could be considered the antithesis of anything having to do with good common sense.

For what good does romance do anyone, really? It is a catalyst of dangerous potency, unable to leave any it touches unaffected in some way or another. It can bring about wars, set into motion a folly or failure, topple the dominos of any well laid plan. Romance, more than anything else, is a curse upon society and those who seek to uphold it.

Romance, however, must never be mistaken for love.

Romance is the immature infatuation of youth that yells, "I want you, I need you, I can't live without you." Rather, love is the mature decision of the wise that snarks, "I know you, I tolerate you, and I guess I can learn to live with you."

Therefore it should come as a surprise to no one where the greatest of love originates. No love can sprout from sudden, passionate attraction, as no emotions were ever involved in the first place, and hormones are the most fickle of beings. Good love may eventually bloom from long-lasting friendship, as both parties are knowing and understanding of one another, and learn to enjoy each others' faults.

However, the greatest of loves fully blossom from mutual and near obsessive antagonism and competition. Neither party may ever grow bored of loving the other, and increase their toleration daily through aggressive and spiteful battles.

But it is a fact of reality that one would never think to look for romance in their worst enemy. They are a bit too busy hating the person to allow their hearts a word in edgewise. The entire situation is deliciously ironic, and not because ones greatest hatred may turn into their greatest affection.

No, the unavoidable irony is how the entire universe bends over backwards trying to push the fated two together, while they both do their stubborn best to stay worlds apart.

In the end, love is all a matter of compatibility. Can two people truly fit together, work together, live together, and not end up hating each other?

The answer is yes and no. Yes, they can do all of those things. No, they cannot do them without hating each other, as any couple truly in love will tell you. There is hardly a day that goes by when a couple in love cannot claim, at least once, to completely loathe the other's existence for an undetermined amount of time for some unspecific reason. Because the other deserves it. Because they're having a bad day. Because it's therapeutic. Simply because they can.

And, in the end, they wouldn't have it any other way.

And so this meme ends.
