Here are the characteristics I think the ideal guy for me would have:

• He'd be rather laidback and be up for a lot of new experiences
• He'd be considerate and genuine
• He'd love to read a lot, a variety of books
• He'd like a lot of the same music I like and also introduce me to new music I've never heard
• He'd be funny in a goofy sort of way
• He'd be very stable emotionally so that I wouldn't feel like I'd have to hold him up or take care of him
• He'd be tall enough so that I could wear heels and still be shorter than he is :-)
• He'd enjoy movies and be able to talk about them with me and appreciate them
• He'd be a Christian, not necessarily affiliated with an organized religion

Crush

• Starring Andie McDowell. This movie is kind of intensely romantic, touching, and sad. I enjoyed it. Well acted, and the guy in it is gorgeous. I should see what else he is in...:-)

The Dust Factory

• Strange children's/family film about a boy who finds himself in an alternate universe and meets a free-spirited girl...I kind of lost interest in this. Appealing maybe only for an adorable young Hayden Panettiere.

Hancock

• Superhero (Will Smith) falls out of favor with the public and fights bad guys. This sort of spiraled into near-absurdity as it went on.

Dirty Harry
