Dream Girl #1

so my IPOD's name is Karen because I always said I wanted my dream girl to be named Karen.

But I've learned that Karen isn't explicitly what I want. But she's basically Dream Girl #1. Like one version of the kind of girl I'd like. (I'd like to say now that I respect all women and I think there's beauty in all of us. I do not mean to disrespect anyone. This is just a list of attributes I personally find attractive)

1. "Feminine" in appearance but not stereotypically.
What I mean by this: She might wear dresses and have long hair but she takes her whiskey straight up and only dances after I ask her to. She can fix a car anytime, anywhere and isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty.

2. Loves comic books. Preferably Marvel. Preferably X-Men geek.
I love comic books and I want someone to geek out with. I hate going to the movies and knowing I'm the only one who knows what they got "right" and what they got "wrong

3. Loves theatre
I've given so much of my life to theatre. I love plays and Caryl Churchill, Jose Rivera, Sarah Kane, Maria Irene Fornes, Griselda Gambaro...those are a few of the writers of my sacred texts. Since she's my "dream girl" which means she's not necessarily real I can get specific. I want her to work in the scene shop and love lights. She does lighting. It doesn't hurt if she can write as well.

4. Artsy
I really like going into random galleries and learning about art. I

5. Good dancer
She may not want to dance all the time but, when urged, she's a damn good dancer. And I'm not talking grinding. I'm talking salsa, ballroom, etc

6. Musician
(Again since she's make believe I can be specific) She can sing and play the piano. Throw in the violin and the cello and she's perfect.

7. Likes soccer
I'm not that into sports but I want someone is. Plus I do like the World Cup so the sport is preferably soccer. I hate football and she does too.

8. Sarcastic
I need someone who speaks sarcasm fluently

9. Bilingual
One language is not enough. She is fluent in Spanish (or Italian or French). She can also sign. She uses these languages with me so I can improve my skills and learn more.

10. Vivid Imagination
I get crazy. And my imagination is intense. So I need someone who can keep us

11. Active
Sometimes I like to go outside and toss around a Volleyball or kick around a soccer ball. I need someone who can do that with me.

12. Musically diverse
I like a lot of different kinds of music. Recently I've been dabbling in "indie pop" but who knows what I'll like next week

13. Neat
I'm really messy and I need someone to remind me to clean

14. Strong in her convictions
I have very, very strong opinions and I need someone who can stand their ground even if they disagree with me.

15. Queer
I'm odd. I don't want the standard edition of anything. And by queer I do not mean "not straight." I mean "against the standard norm." Believe it or not there's even a standard norm for gay people. I don't want it. This includes being open to non-monogamy and polyamory.

16. Believes in the supernatural
I believe there are things that even reason cannot solve. I am not saying believing in a deity necessarily because I still don't know that I do but just believes there's more than what we see

17. Avid Reader
I like reading. And I like writing. 'nough said.

18. Social Activist
This can be defined diversely. I'm not saying she's got to go join the nearest protest 'cause that's so not me and I will not be going with her BUT she needs to be socially concerned and willing to do SOMETHING about it.

19. Nonviolent

20. Chill personality
I need someone chill. I don't believe in getting all fired up for no good reason. That takes too much energy

21. Rationally emotional
By this I mean she makes her decisions using reason while simultaneously following her heart

22. Willing to talk about life in a philosophical lens
I want someone who I can toss around some tough questions with and even though there is no correct answer I still want to be able to talk about it

23. Drinks
I can't be someone who doesn't drink. I'd feel so guilty every time I had a beer

24. Non-judgemental

25. Brilliant
I need to be with someone intelligent or else I will walk all over them.
