These might be for you.
My personal notes to a potential suitor:
#1: Music is a huge part of my life. I will introduce you to my favorite artists. And I will be looking for some indication of what you think. If you love it, let me know. If you don’t, tell me why.
#2: Please dance with me. =] Goofily(?) and all other kinds of dancing. Don’t worry, I suck at it, too.
#3: A lack of respect towards me is a deal-breaker. No excuses.
#4: It’d be totally awesome if you would be all about holidays with me. Including National Get Over It Day. (March 9th)
#5: Please let me vent. And, if you disagree with me, please let me finish ranting before you say that you can see the other side. If you make an argument for the opposite side while I’m ranting, it’ll probably just start a fight.
#6: Please, please don’t close off. Especially during an argument. Let’s always talk, okay?
#7: Do not text me 24/7. Everyday? Sure, I’m down with that. But let me get to sleep at a reasonable hour. Let me go to school. And don’t freak if it takes me a little while to respond. I have a life.
#8: Be okay with no PDA. Holding hands is fine, but let’s not ever be attatched at the hip.
#9: Honesty is an absolute must. It’s a core value for me, so I hope it is for you, too. Don’t be the type to just tell me what you think I want to hear.
#10: Yes, I probably would prefer to buy the book as opposed to borrowing it from the library.
#11: Please don’t be one of those people who freak out about their picture being taken. I think you’re cute. And bad pictures happen to even the best of us. A picture is only embarrassing if you choose to be embarrassed by it. And you are not any picture of you. If necessary, and in those situations where you really don’t want your picture taken (I have those, too), please be mature about it and respond by saying something like, “honey, please not today. We’ll get pictures together some other time, okay?” as opposed to freaking out. Or you could suggest a compromise: Let me take a couple pictures in return for letting you pick the next movie we watch or having me pay for dinner sometime.
#12: On that note, if a compromise is to be made, let’s specify at the moment it is being suggested what the conditions are for each party. Don’t hold it over my head that I owe you something.
#13: One word: HYGIENE!
#14: Please don’t ever feed me. It’s so awkward. For me and everyone else.
#15: Drive me places, but I’d like to drive sometimes, too.
#16: I can pretty much guaruntee that I’ll try to imitate the way you talk. I do that. Please find amusement in it and don’t get offended. I don’t do it to mock you; I love linguistics.
#17: Please, no buzz-cuts. Have hair.
#18: Please be a fellow musician. But if you are, don’t be critical or try to give me lessons unless I ask you for it.
#19: Be a real man – Love God.
#20: I would absolutely love it if you made “your face” jokes with me. =] And if you remember that I like Chuck Norris jokes.
#21: If you interacct well with kids, I’ll melt. =]

… Cont’d
I love music. Choir is an extremely high priority for me. My school’s choir has some really amazing songs this winter, so I thought I’d share them:
“There Will Be Rest” – Frank Ticheli
MSVMA Honor Choir performed this last year; that’s what the link in the name is to. It’s gorgeous. The lyrics are one of the last poems written by Sara Teasdale. She committed suicide at the age of 48.
“There will be rest, and sure stars shining
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
The music of stillness holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising,
Out of a dream in my lonely mind,
I shall find the crystal of peace, – above me
Stars I shall find.”
Another one we’re doing is “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” The lyrics are a Robert Frost poem:
“Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ”
We’re also singing Carol of the Bells (Peter J. Wilhousky), There Is No Rose (Gary Garcia), The Sleigh (Kountz), The First Breath of Winter (Phyllis Wolfe-White), and a few others. But I couldn’t find any videos of them, though.
However, while I was youtubing, I came across this. I say you should watch it. It’s hardcore. Lol.
