Playing along - though a little late

SoXy had double tagged me. Saw it only now. So playing along. And of course, unlike him, I've had both tags pinned on me by one person.

Tag 1: Things i hate.

Quite a lot of things. Where do I start.

• Most food (and what I don't hate, I totally love)
• Boy bands, Indi pop and people who play them all the time and think they are being ubercool
• Inane chatter
• Inane movies which people describe as ones that can be watched after "leaving your brains behind"

Tag 2: Eight Characteristics of what goes into making Ms. Perfect (and oh, the salutation makes it clear that the object of my affection will be definitely female - so that part of the tag is done)

1. She should have Courage. To tell me that I definitely am wrong (which I am most of the time. And mostly about people)
2. Be Unpretentious. Totally so.
3. Should Love music. Or else she'll never be able to live with me. And of course, it has to be the same kind of music that I love or something that I tolerate or like. Someone who listens to Jazz will fall short of perfect (and may be too intellectual for me), but still welcome ;-)
4. Be loyal. No. I hope that it isn't just dogs that are loyal. Friends and lovers can be too. Though I have my doubts about married men (and women)
5. Not have a single ounce of spare fat. I live in morbid fear of turning fat myself and will put myself through quite a lot before I'll allow that to happen to me.
6. Dress fabulously well. I love to see people well groomed. And if she doesn't take much time or trouble and still appears wonderful (like someone I fell in love with quite recently), that'd be wonderful.
7. Must drink. Prefereably anything from beer on a hot summer afternoon to wine in the evening. I love the mellow buzz from wine and don't think there is much in life that comes close to that.
8. Attitude - Post modern liberal. Maybe I ought to put this at the top of the list. Easier to pigeonhole people that way though it is admittedly wrong.

My apologies that this isn't quite as entertaining as SoXy's. But not in a right frame of mind for anything but sarcasm and cynicism.
