This One's for the Ladies

Do you ever have those moments when you just have to write something down before you burst from all the thoughts swirling around in you head? This is one of those late-night-sappy-quote posts, and just the tip of the iceberg for all I've been thinking about lately. So, as your late night blogger, I'll say, "This one's for the ladies"....

"I want someone who will be monogamous and nice to his mother. And I want someone who likes musicals, but knows just to shut his mouth when I'm watching Lost. And I want someone who thinks being really into cars is lame, and strip clubs are gross. I want someone who will actually empty the dishwasher instead of just taking out forks, as needed, like I do. I want someone with clean hands and feet and beefy forearms like a damn Disney prince. And I want him to genuinely like me--even when I'm old. And that's what I want."

--Liz Lemon "30 Rock"

"You know, honestly, by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window. You secretly pray he'll be tall than you. Not an 'asshole' would be nice. Just someone who enjoys my company--comes from a good family. You don't think about that when you're younger. Someome who wants kinds, likes kids, wants kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do. You may not understand that now, but believe me, you will someday--otherwise that's a recipe for disaster. And hopefully, some hair on his head. I mean, that's not even a deal breaker these days. A nice smile, yeah, a nice smile just might do it."

"Jane I want a wife. I want a wife, not a nursemaid to look after me. I want a wife to share my bed every night. All day if we wish. If I can't have that, I'd rather die. We're not the platonic sort, Jane."

"I love that you get cold when its 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend a day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And its not because, and its not because its New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

--Harry "When Harry Met Sally"

"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."

"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
