floydius it's almost like you've got nothing better to do

my (hitherto imaginary) future wife wish list

Today, I decided to make up a little list of qualities I think my ideal compatible mate would have.

Now I've gone and made it public. I'm sure if I ever do settle down, I'll fall in love with someone who's nothing like most of these. This is totally going to come back to haunt me.

Essentials:

• Serves Jesus of Nazareth

• Dedicated to being part of a congregation wherever she lives.
• Does not consider divorce an option.
• Trusts and respects me.

Would be Nice:

• Accepts (good)/Appreciates (better)/Shares (great!) my obsession with foreign languages.

• Would be interested in living abroad for extended periods of time.
• Holds libertarian political values.
• Thinks reading is fun.
• Her idea of a great date is staying home, renting a movie, and snuggling on the couch. (movie optional)
• Could let me pamper her for a day without feeling guilty in the slightest.
• Could pamper me for a day without feeling used in the slightest.
• Loves to receive and give back rubs.
• Knows the difference between good cartoons and poor ones.
• Tends to see the best in everything and everyone.
• Takes genuine compliments as they are intended.
• Sometimes/frequently leaves the house without wearing makeup.
• Thinks being 5 - 10 minutes late for most events is normal.
• Would be bored after 30 minutes of shopping for clothes.
• Thinks living without Cable TV is a good idea.
• She is a great personal communicator.
• Never uses their when she means they're or your when she means you're.

Just Icing on the Cake:

• Thinks making unsolicited sandwiches for her future husband would be fun.

• Her first reaction to the words "family vacation" is to wonder which tent we should bring.
• She likes karaoke.
• Enjoys good-natured ribbing (i.e. thinks insult wars are funny).
• Holds the following pet hierarchy: Large Dogs, Ferrets, Cats, Sea Urchins, Small Dogs.
• Thinks waking up at 6am voluntarily would be ludicrous.
• Does not find the making of a future wife wish list to be insane and/or creepy at all.
