21 things i want in a lover

ok.. its been done on abc before, but there are new people....

alanis morisettes new cd *under rug swept* (whatta great title) has a song on called "21 things i want in a lover"

do we have 21 things we want? and if so, what are they?

here are some that alanis herself demands... Im staying quiet for now ;o)

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
That it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion?
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
And don't believe in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?
...curious and communicative...

Someone who knows and understands me totally without needing me to tell them anything. Someone who always says the right thing without ever planning it first. Someone who never judges anyone (except sun readers). I think its possible to have a perfect someone, perfect for someone else anyway, not perfect for everyone. Somewhere out there is perfect, unfortunately that also means that she is perfect at hiding so I've yet to find her. Also, even if I do she will also be perfect at running away while screaming her lungs out... Anyone wanna help me catch her?

I want a lover who will shave her legs in the sepia half-light while Moriseette crackles, burns and weeps in the flickering fire of pretension. Lloyd Cole will be playing on my as this occurs stereo of course..... That's ironic. r x

you know if you all re - read this lot .... it makes you wonder if there is such as thing as 'That perfect person' for any of us but there again I'm trying to untangle myself from one of these lesser perfect beings at the moment and after reading this lot it beginning to make me wonder why!

hmmmm.. rapidly coming to the conclusion that I need 21 different lovers.. preferably in the same body, but not too fussy.

No such thing, Ari... Er...Mr Simon, sir, I take it you mean the US lick (as in 'beat') rather than the UK lick (as in 'slobber')?

Someone who can fight but won't sulk Someone who will talk but let me have space Someone who doesn't expect to pay every bill Someone who doesn't expect me to pay every bill Someone who'll hold me when I cry Someone who'll let me hold them when they cry Someone who doesn't play mind games Someone who won't cheat on me Someone who'll be honest, tell me when I'm being too bloody stuborn. Someone else...... Bugger
