Shit, now I have to remember. I'm a fickle bastard so it may be hard...

Lessee... someone who's kind and sweet and won't put up with all my
shit and knows how to put me in my place without making me feel like
a total loser. Hmmm... She should be pretty smart and do well in her
field of choice, which should be different from mine so we won't
compete with one another. She must be interested in the same trashy
music I like, enjoy listening to NPR, doesn't mind if I dissapear to
work in the garage or hack away and be confident enough to realize
that no matter what I'm still coming home to her. I think I was drunk
(read: "too honest") at the time, so I probably said something about
carnal stuff, too... (you know, the standard "not afraid to try 
anything twice just in-case we did it wrong the first time?")

My current girlfriend fits the bill about 95% -- no complaints
(other than that she's going to be in Florida all next week...)
