"Yu-Mei Balasingamchow," she intoned in her distinctive singsong way, albeit with a tinge of disapproval, "you were supposed to be here earlier."
"Yah, sorry, I had dinner with some friends and ---"
"No, you were supposed to be here earlier." She gave me a look. It turned out there had been a Very Nice Man at the party whom she'd been hoping to introduce to me, but he'd booked it for another party before I got there.
Nonetheless, she proceeded to tell me several significant details about him, which now makes me wonder if I'll be able to keep a straight face if he and I ever get round to meeting (nothing wrong with him, just my friend's enthusiastic description).
Unrelated to this, a couple of months ago someone asked me what type of guys I like. In response my mind went completely blank. One doesn't simply walk around with a list in our heads, do we?

Actually the real question is (not to sound too Bridget Jones) "Is being Single a disease?" Can you be happy/fulfilled without being in a "relationship"? Lots of people tried to set me up when I was single without really asking me if I was looking for someone at that time. As to what I was looking for....I didn't know until it hit me.
I have a list tucked into my purse which includes 'ability to juggle' and 'able to name up to 14 species of plants'.
naixuhs > I don't think I mind being single right now. I find myself more amused than anything else by my friends.
Jess > Eh, next time we have a beer, I want to see that list!
I wonder where I can advertise to look for A Very Nice Gal.
Jess: Can you name 14 species of plants?
Tym: I'd be curious to hear your list... if you ever wanted to make one up.
