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.
It might also help if he was a prince.
Yes, a few times I think.
But I didn�t mean to.
Don�t be in a rush � real love is patient and infatuation is not.
