Friday Five: Love
Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003, 12:51 p.m.

QUESTION: Why do I watch so many Disney flicks?

WHAT I LEARNED: Mottos can stick in your head.

1. How many times have you truly been in love?

I can count my true loves on one hand.

2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?

I would say that it was a little bit of who they really were and a little bit of what I perceived them to be at the time, all mixed up together.

Rose-colored glasses should probably be banned by the way.

3. What qualities should a significant other have?

Someone who is going to be sharing in your life should be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave. Oh I’m sorry, I think that may have something to do with being a Boy Scout. How about this then - neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night – oh alright so maybe that’s a U.S. Postal Service inscription but it’s a good one and I still think it works as an answer to this question.

If I were burning a 10-track CD of winning qualities, this is what the play list would look like:

• Track 1 – Humor Every Day by But I’m Not Jim Carey
• Track 2 – Nice, Nice, Nice by I Will Never Be a Dog
• Track 3 – I Got Some Ethics by I Don’t Care If You Think I’m a Square
• Track 4 – Flexibility Right Now by I Can Go Your Way, Honey
• Track 5 – Loyalty by Stand By You
• Track 6 – Fun, Fun, Fun by Don’t Be Blue
• Track 7 – Compatible Minds by Me Too
• Track 8 – I Can Take Care of That by Always Helpful
• Track 9 – Impromptu by Fun Surprises
• Track 10 – You Want Fries With That by I Can Cook Too

In all honesty, I think a good heart makes up for a lot of other flaws and a good disposition is imperative to pleasant daily living.

4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?

Yes, a few times I think.

But I didn’t mean to.

5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?

Don’t be in a rush – real love is patient and infatuation is not.

DETAILS: Coffee:Still need some + Listening to: birds in the rain + Observing: a day full of chores + Thinking: NYC here I come + Weather: Well, it ain’t rainin’ men but it is raining again
