My Personal Kryptonite

So I know that everyone has a few things that are simply irresistible to them in the opposite gender. I know I have mine. Here is a list of things I find incredibly hot on men. I guess you might say it makes them more attractive to me and they go several points higher on the hotness scale. Some of these are things that men do that make me just melt like warm butter on hot toast! Please take note that just because a man has one or more of these qualities does not necessarily entitle him to my love and/or affection… It does however give him a few extra brownie points!

1. Baseball Caps

2. Hoodies coupled with Basketball Shorts

3. Curly hair

4. A great smile

5. Sweater vests with a long sleeved dress shirt underneath

6. Glasses

7. Suits

8. Uniforms (Any form of the military, firemen, pilots, police officers etc!)

9. A man who is willing to do the dishes or who offers to help clean my kitchen

10. A lovely singing voice/or at least being willing to try and sing

11. Playing an instrument

12. Intelligence

13. Assertiveness (Being able to take charge of a situation and make decisions.)

14. A man who is willing to let me know when he thinks I am wrong and won’t just agree with me no matter what.

15. Life plans and goals. (I like it when a man at least has a general idea of what he wants out of life, how he is going to get it, and what he needs to do to get there. It is also always best if he is actually working toward that goal.)

16. A Sense of Humor

17. Men who are respectful and courteous of the women in their families and the women they associate with.

18. Shaggy hair

19. 5 o’clock shadows

20. A man who can control his temper

21. A man who wants to have children and is willing to spend time with them in the future

22. Sweaters

23. A man who is well read and is willing to read new things

24. A gentleman who does not consider chivalry to be dead.

25. Varied and well rounded interests

26. Men who like animals

27. Hugs (I love it when I fit directly under a man’s chin, or right in the middle of his chest. Those are often the best hugs!)

28. A man who is a good kisser

29. Regular temple attendance

30. Spontaneous Romanticisms

31. A man who is comfortable with his masculinity (Examples include not being afraid to admit when they like a chic flick, being willing to indulge me when I want to do something that could be considered slightly on the girly side)

32. A good conversationalist

33. Not being afraid to try new things

34. Dark hair (I am typically fine with any hair color… sometimes even baldness. I admit I am slightly partial to dark hair though!)

35. Accents

36. A man who is confident but not cocky

37. Ok I’ll admit it… I think I kinda have a soft spot for nerds. They’re super-cute!

38. A man who has a good work ethic

39. A man that enjoys my random whimsical moments and is willing to join me in them

40. A man who likes to travel

These are just to name a few. I’m sure there are more... but this is all I could think of at the moment. I am definitely not using this list as some sort of weird checklist or something. Let’s face it… you sometimes can’t help who you’re attracted to or who you fall in love with. So a checklist would pretty much just be pointless. These are a few things that I know I am attracted to in men. Heck I’ve been attracted to men who have had very few of these things going for them. I’ve also been attracted to some that have a lot of them. These just happen to be a few of the thing about men that are like a recipe for my own personal kryptonite!

Indian War Dance

Last week I was sitting in my math class and I had this insane desire to jump up and start dancing around the room like an Indian complete with drum and war paint. Completely insane I know! You have to understand that this is a two hour class and it is hard enough for me to sit still for one hour let alone two. As the class progressed I couldn’t help but smile and laugh to myself as I wondered what the expression on my teacher’s and fellow students’ faces would be if I actually did dance around like an Indian. This became funnier and funnier as the minute hand on the clock slowly ticked by. I was on the brink of actually trying it out… if only to see people’s reactions when the bell rang and the moment passed. One of these days I will really have to do an Indian dance, complete with war paint and of course my off beat drum!

The Drum

It has been said by those who know me well that I march to the beat of my own personal drum. Whether the drum is five counts behind or 20 counts ahead it works for me. You see I like my drum even if it is off beat. It makes life so much more interesting. I guarantee that if you decide to march to the beat of my drum you will always be entertained. Everyone needs a little fun in their life. I invite you all to march to the beat of my drum until you can find your own beat. In my opinion everyone needs their very own drum.

May is for fun voicemails

Hello world! I am announcing my presence by declaring it random voicemail May. If you are in my phone book you may get a call from me leaving you a very entertaining voicemail. I leave at least one or two a day. I'm not saying I don't want you to answer your phones.... it could just be more entertaining for me and you since I never know what exactly might pop out of my mouth this month as I leave a message. It is all in good fun. I hope they make you smile. With that I am now signing off for another adventure.
