Day 2- 5 ways to get to your heart

Umm. I feel like this one is going to be hard.

1. Have a sense of humour. 

Cynical/Sarcastic humour is an asset, and just generally being able to act like a complete goofball. Because I’m absolutely crazy sometimes with the things I say and do, so I don’t want to feel like a big loser around you. Be stupid with me. Be able to tell when I’m completely joking. I say some really vain thing sometimes, but it’s completely satirical. 

2. Don’t be too cheesy…

…with nicknames. There are very few pet names I can handle. Don’t call me hun, honey or dear … you’re not my grandmother. Even worse is names like “cupcake snicker doodle” or other odd names. I will look at you in disgust. 

3. Don’t pressure me to tell you things.

I am very talkative and I can continue conversations very well about anything. Except my personal life. I will pretend things are fine and dandy in my life with practically everyone. It takes me a really long time to even hint to people at problems in my life. I usually just like to deal with them myself; I don’t like to seem dramatic. I’ll appreciate your concern but I’ll mostly likely tell you nothing is wrong for a long time. 

4. Be able to do fun things with me, not just go out and party.

I don’t mind partying with people now and then, but I really just prefer hanging out with one person and doing fun things like something active (biking, running, working out in general, going on hikes, yoga classes, whatever), adventurous (going through caves, bungee jumping, skydiving, anything slightly insane, going on a road trip without a map and just instinct, anything crazy) and just simple little things like taking walks on a nice night, apple picking, pumpkin carving, going to museums, people watching at a coffee shop… I just want someone to enjoy these kinds of things with. If you ever list “partying” or “clubbing” as one of your interests….then you’re a boring fuck.

5. If you’re tall and good looking and take care of yourself that’s a huge bonus.

I don’t care if it sounds vain. Relationships are just as physical as they are emotional. If all I have with you is an emotional connection, we’re better off as friends. Relationships need chemistry and if one of us don’t feel it, then there’s no point. And anyone can be good looking if they take care of themselves. Also, I’m tall. I don’t want to tower over you. I want someone at least a little taller than me. At least.

Bonus: If you have a dog I may love you forever. Or just your dog. 

Day 1- List of your favourite things

My attention span is comparative to that of a goldfish and I get amused extremely easily. My favourite things can change on an hourly basis practically. But I guess I can try to list some all time favourite things of mine.

• Paddling - I love my sport. So so so much. There’s no better feeling than when your blade goes through the water and you feel yourself propelling forward. I hate myself for having to give it up temporarily until circumstances permit me to go back again.
• Reading - There’s something about getting lost in a good book that makes everything better. 
• Summer, fall, winter - Spring in Ottawa is really gross but I like the other seasons. Especially fall.
• Driving around with the windows down and blaring country music
• Taylor Swift. I swear, there’s a song to relate to anything.
• GLEE, the New Girl, HIMYM, the Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls and the Office - I like shows with a comedic aspect. Dramas annoy me.
• Trail running. Especially over at the Gatineau Hills. In the fall. It’s so beautiful and you don’t realize how far you’re running.
• Sarcastic and cynical jokes and comments. They make the world go round.
• The Holiday Season. Christmas trees and lights. Snowy nights and feeling the crunch. Presents. The food. Parties. Love love love this season.
• Chunky reindeer sweaters.
• Cold winter day spent in bed with a warm drink and reading a novel or watching chick flicks.
• Working with children (even if they drive me crazy). Especially coaching my group of kids. They’re the best, most intense 8-11 years olds <3
• Driving the motorboat.
• Having an excuse to play with toys.
• Raking leaves.
• Haunted hayride.
• Skating on the canal and getting a beavertail. 
• Museums. Especially the Museum of Civilization and the dinosaur exhibit in the Museum of Nature.
• My journalism program.
• Meeting new people and learning about their stories. 
• Airports.
• Travelling in general.
• Cycling or even casual bike rides.
• Hot yoga. 
• The feeling of crossing the finish line.
• The feeling before a race. A mix of adrenaline and just plain out shitting myself.
• Smoothies.
• Apples and caramel.
• Pumpkin spice latte, Caramel macchiatos and salted caramel mocha.
• Starbucks! 
• Travel mugs.
• SERBIA. 
• Swings.
• In the winter when the trees are all iced up. It looks so cool.
• Dogs. Especially huskies. They’re so beautiful.
• Animals in general but I love dogs.
• Getting paid. Not being in debt.

Okay I think that’s enough for today :) Now have to help my brother with quadratics…woo.
