you win some, you lose some

my first real crush happened when i was in the 3rd grade (if you don't count fernando in kindergarten). i'm talking telling each other you liked them crush. his name was brandon. we're friends on myspace now, and we could not have anything less in common.

i think about that sometimes when i think about past relationships. it makes me know a little bit more of what i'm looking for in a relationship now, sort of. there's always a checklist.. or guidelines. i usually let one or two things slide, but look at where that's gotten me.

1. must be tech-savvy and preferably uses a mac, so he can fix my computer too. (G and josh lose here)
2. must talk in text/email/any other form of communication that doesn't require speaking as if they were speaking to me in person. that means no unnecessary periods, exclamation points or spelling errors. (G loses here)
3. must have good personal style, you have to care about how you look to some extent. i know this sounds shallow, but look at josh and G.. big mistakes. josh cared too much. g cared too little.
4. must have similar music taste, or at the very least, taste in GOOD music. even better if it's a wide variety. (stepan, jr, kevin, josh, G all lose here)
5. must be open to veggie foods (G loses here, josh and Z win here)
6. must have opinions about things, even better if there's some knowledge/reason behind it (Z wins here)
7. NO EGOS. period. (seth and G both lost here)
8. if you're going to talk about something, know what you're talking about. i remember G and i had this petty argument because i told him cries of the past was my favorite underoath album and he said that their first album was the changing of times. he was so convinced i was making it up. what a moron. this goes hand in hand with ego. you just have to be able to accept when you're wrong.
9. know the meaning of compromise. meet me in the goddamned middle. (everyone loses here)
10. modesty. this is also a big one. (Z wins)

i'll add more as i remember. but these are BIG points.
