I've been tagged (agh!) by that Scarlet Blue. (I blame EmmaK.) The question is: what is my secret recipe for a perfect partner? Actually, the literal question is "what is my secret recipe for the perfect man" but self-praise is no recommendation. So I'll concentrate on a perfect woman...
- She must be able to cope with being surrounded by books. Quite a lot of books. By any objective measure rather too many books, but she wouldn't say so.
- She would need a love of old black and white movies. At the very least she would be delighted by a Pabst double bill or a season of RKO horror movies.
- One of us needs to be able to drive. It isn't me.
- She would need to be able to cope with the fact that for all the talk and blather I am, allegedly, one of the world's most uncommunicative men.
- Freckles would be nice.
- She would be able to remind and coax without my deciding I was being nagged.
- I have views on the heptagon formed by a woman's nape, shoulder girdle and spine...
- ...and the jugular angle of a lady's jaw.
- She would be a good cook but would allow me my moments in the kitchen.
- And she would laugh easily at the daftest of things. We would giggle uproariously at the small ads in the paper.

I fail on number 5. but otherwise we'd be perfect together
I can manage 1 and 3.
Just as well I'm spoken for, really!
Ah, Kevin, such simple wants and needs. I have freckles. And M. DeFarge. I fear that we are destined never to be. Let's hope someone is.
Blimey Kev, incredible, the fits-like-a-glove no-arguments answer to this is My Mother. I'm not entirely sure where her heptagon is but there's absolutely no way that she'd let you drive.
We are almost a perfect match! I even have freckles - nothing to do with being ginger.
Unfortunately, I really can't cook; I have a pathological fear of driving and I have occasional bouts of temporomandibular joint disorder.
Sx
I fail miserably so we'll just stay friends:)
*sigh* i still have to do this meme, sugar. xoxoxox
1, 5 and 10. You know my views on no. 2
This sounds like the beginning of an adorable couple.
Now all you have to do is find her.
