I am...

feeling: amused
listening to: Beautiful Liar - Beyonce & Shakira

Haha yeah... Amused about the title? Well... I posted a note on Facebook a couple of days ago, and was pretty shocked at just how many comments I'd received about it (78 and counting haha XD)... Want to read what I wrote?

However, be warned, this is a very long entry! XD

—×—

After getting back into (shoujo) manga yesterday, I have become thoroughly depressed at the prospect of not finding my "The One". FFS. I've been through half the world... he can't be hiding THAT well can he?!?!?! ¬_¬

Therefore, I have resorted to desperation and begging for help from others =D Friends! If you know any friends who are potential boyfriend quality for me, feel free to let me know! (In fact, PLEASE DO) =3

A few REQUIREMENTS though. (And this is probably what's gonna land me 'Single-For-The-Rest-Of-My-Life' status...)

—×He MUST be smarter than me. That means Straight A's/A*'s at GCSE, Straight A's at AS/A Level, doesn't work his arse off and still achieves really high grades and all that jazz. NO EXCEPTIONS.

—×He MUST be musically talented and play at least 4 different instruments (preferably some Chinese ones too) and have achieved Grade 8 on at least one of them; preferably Diploma, too. I cannot have a boyfriend who isn't as good as me at anything ¬_¬ However, I can compromise. If he only plays 3 instruments that's fine as long as he has an ABRSM Diploma in Performance in one of them. Nothing less.

—×He MUST be 175cm or taller (Yes, I know I'm short, and it's not hard to be taller than me, but just a few cm's taller is weird ¬_¬)

—×He MUST be amazing at least martial arts and basketball -- NO EXCEPTIONS!!! He HAS to be sporty. And be able to protect me. I don't want a wimpy boyfriend.

—×He MUST speak at least 3 different languages fluently And when I say 3, I mean 3 specific ones: English, Mandarin Chinese (Cantonese doesn't count) and German and also know at least some Cantonese, Japanese and preferably some Spanish too. I need to be able to communicate with this guy easily, and I love switching between languages randomly when speaking, plus I can see myself moving to different countries in the future, so languages are essential. Plus I speak those three, and therefore he must too. Again, cannot be worse than me at anything.

—×He MUST be at LEAST AS standard with his Chinese writing, and A Level standard with German, and A* GCSE+ standard English - nothing worse than me! =P

—×He MUST be able to cook. Even if it's egg fried rice--ability to cook is essential. (Okay cooking he can be a tad worse than me at XD)

—×He MUST be good-looking. I know that all depends on opinion, so send me his photo. A NICE NOSE is utterly ESSENTIAL. If I don't like his nose, that's it! =P

—×He MUST be toned/have a nice body. I don't want beer bellies and I don't want bulky either. =3

—×He MUST be good with computers-I have my own personal site and a blog, all of which is created by me (aside from some scripting help from wonderful friends <3) but I am good with a computer. And I type fast (90+ wpm - I did a typing test two yrs ago), therefore, he must too. Cannot be worse than me at anything

—×He MUST be good at ice-skating, or can at least skate backwards without any problems. =3

—×He MUST be either Chinese or Japanese (Half of any will do--Half and half is even better ;])

—×He MUST live in England.

—×He MUST NOT smoke/take drugs etc.

—×He MUST NOT have a geeky name/name that clashes with mine =3

—×He must be pretty open-minded too. Or at least be able to deal with the fact that I am obsessed with H/D (Harry/Draco Slash) fanfiction and yaoi mangas XD

Personality-wise:

He MUST be out-going, either that or the cold/cool/collected Kai-attitude type (Kai Hiwatari from Beyblade. Google it if you don't know who I mean =3) but is actually really nice deep down. I don't even mind if he's the player type. In fact, they're interesting ;) Either way, it must be him who takes the lead in this relationship.

He MUST be strong-minded.

He MUST NOT be wimpy/scaredy-cat. I need someone to take care of me, not the other way around.

He MUST NOT be clingy/needy. Clingy and close are two different things.

He MUST make an effort to meet up with me and be with me. If he doesn't or is not willing to, then no point in us being together. If he doesn't make an effort and is clingy or needy, he can eff right off cos I cba to deal with it.

He MUST be funny, or at least, can make me laugh, which, to be honest, doesn't take much ^^;;

He MUST be able to take a joke! >_>;;

He MUST NOT be abusive. He can be dominant; I like dominant, but dominant and abusive are two different matters.

He MUST be a Christian.

Others:

×Preferably likes Manga/Anime
×Preferably rich XD
×Preferably doesn't live 7 hrs away from me ¬_¬;;
×Preferably likes drama/acting
×Preferably between the ages of 17 and 23

Ah... I drew an 'ideal bishie' last year (ignore the age--I was only 16 then)... you can have a look... but I seem to have altered and added since then XD (Click the image to view full-sized version)

List might increase... That's all I can think of on the spot ^_^

Oh yes... For those of you who don't know me very well, you might be thinking 'so, what qualities do you have to deserve a guy like that?' Well... not many, really ^^;; But still. I've never had any troubles getting a guy I like to like me back so far, so~~~ XD

But yeah, most of those are based on me (non-personality wise ones) anyways [i.e. I got straight A*/A's at GCSE even though I only had 1 yr to do them all in, I also got a Chinese AS already, soon-to-be fluent in German, currently doing Piano Diploma in Performance--already passed Grade 8 last year, play 5 instruments in total blah blah]. Except maybe the sports/nice body one ^^;; But anyways XD

If any of you know any guy like that -- and yes, it must be a guy, please let me know! XD

Hehe or you could just find me a real-life Takashima Kei (refer to Special A manga)~~~ XDDD Cept without a Hikari =_=;;

—×—

Haha... Unfortunately, the most I've had is only a bunch of "OMW Crystina WTF?!", "I really hope you're joking" and "Good luck o_O;;"s... which is a bit disappointing... doesn't any of my friends know a guy like that? TT_TT

Do any of you know a guy like that you can introduce me to? XDDD

I think I might have to resort to finding Chinese guys in Germany... o_o;;

<33333

L8r,

—×Kuri×—

Hahhaha, I thought that my list http://zanzibar.nutang.com/comment_29693/The_Kristina_and_Laura_Perfect_Husband_List/
was pretty stringent. I'm sure you'll find him. But you might have to highlight his hair blue yourself. And I think if he has that many skills and talents, he might not have time to have a girlfriend!! ^^ ps- I like the halfies, too.
» Zanzibar on 2007-05-31 08:36:54

It sounds like you're searching for every girl's dream guy and sorry to break this to you, I don't think this Mr. Perfect exists. Sounds too good to be true. Ok, just a piece of my thought...
» deecy on 2007-05-31 09:05:01

Sorry Kuri dear, can't help you with that.. don't let everyone else bring you down, you'll find your other half someday.. be patient.. Furthermore, what's so bad with being single? Er.. other than feeling lonely at times and have an overly wild imagination.
» Nuttz on 2007-05-31 11:35:36

Dude, you're SCREWED!

Seriously, though. There's no hope for you. Throw in the towel. Call it quits. Might as well...

I mean, I hate to be a punk like that, but do you REALLY think you can find a guy with ALL these specific qualities AND make the relationship work?! What if he doesn't even like you!? Or what if you find a guy with all of these qualities and you, for whatever odd reason, don't like HIM?!
It's quite possible.

I just came in to make a pun over the "bloody boyfriend" bit, but as I read your entry I was just thrown off.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have high hopes, but let's be realistic here, no?

Call me a punk, but at least I'M realistic.
» elessar257 on 2007-05-31 04:19:08

XD Kuri-Deer, 'must' is such a hard word, especially bolded. Dare a suggest the word 'preferably'?
I sense a tiny problem though, just like Zanzibar said. You only have that much time and sporting, studing, practise instruments, going to curch, computer-ing, dating, hanging out with friends ect. is a very lot to be able manage. :D I'm curious as how he would solve that, but hey!, Good luck!
Wouldn't it be terrible boring if he was never worse than you at anything, when would you be able to shine then? ;D
» Teal on 2007-05-31 04:44:11

@deecy and elessar, I am realistic! ;_;

there must be ONE guy in the world like that; and he's who I'm looking for. MY "The One"--for ME. there's no way he'd be taken, because we're meant to be. (woo rhymed haha, anyways besides the point)

I mean... if *I* can have all those qualities minus the sport/height one, there must be one guy with all those and more. I know i'm not the most talented person in the world, so a guy with those qualities is perfectly reasonable. let's be realistic here: the world's population of guys are not ALL daft. how are there successful guys then? surely they must have something that makes them stand out from the rest.

and he's who i'm looking for. you know, he's not perfect. if i wanted him PERFECT the list would be 10x longer. and there's no way i wouldnt like HIM. if he's my "The One", the one God has chosen for me, of course I'll like him =3

@Nuttz, thanks for the support!!! =glomp= I will find him! ^_^

@Zanzibar, hahahaha!!! XDDD your list is longer than mine!!! XDDD (well... if you include the stuff that i havent left out of my list then maybe it isnt as long, but the main ones... woooo longer! XD you guys have even decided what he likes to eat and read and watch! XD and here i thought *i* had a long list kekeke >DDD)

L8r,

I'm sure you'll find the right guy one day. And you may come to find that the guy for you doesn't have to have all those specific qualities. You're only 17 so you've got plenty of time to find the one for you. I know what its like to want a boyfriend and even though I *sort of* have one, I still am not completely happy. Although it could take you time, I wish you the best of luck in your search.
» LostSoul13 on 2007-05-31 04:48:22

@Tealy-Kun, I don't think so? =3 I'd love to find a guy I can aim to be better at in important aspects =3 Besides, that's not all XDDD i mean, i havent listed specific instruments/other sports, and anything on video games and stuff XDDD also, if i can have all those qualities (minus basketball/martial arts--i do do sports tho) and still have time to be a lazy git in front of the computer then surely there's one guy in this world who can too XD

L8r,

—×Kuri×—
» Kuri on 2007-05-31 04:50:21

=/ I wonder. With just with sports/training I neglect school, add all that other stuff and I doubt I could keep everything up.

Erm, what if this guy didn't like you? O_o
» Teal on 2007-05-31 05:05:39

Methinks you might want to lower your standards a bit. :P
» randomjunk on 2007-05-31 05:06:46

@LostSoul, ty ^^;; yeah, probably that's what will happen, but honestly, I really want to find this guy... i dont know why so many people are dead set on him not existing... honestly i'm certain this guy can exist! =/// we'll see... x_x;;

@Tealy-kun, i'll make him like me XD he can't not like me anyways... if he really is my "The One", there's no doubt he'd like me back =] besides, it's fun to chase a guy XDDD i don't like being chased... =3 i prefer to do the chasing for a bit XD

@randomjunk, nahhh XDDD i'm gna find this guy +_+ MWAHA XD

L8r,

» Kuri on 2007-05-31 05:21:04

While you might have all of those qualities, you need to remember GOD might have a different plan. Expect the unexpected. My fiance is not someone anyone I know thought I would be with. In many things, except how bloddy smart he is, he's very very different then I am. Shouldn't you be more concerned that the man God chooses you should be with had a strong faith like you do? Who ever God has decided to be your one and true love of your life I hope he brings you all the joy and love you could ever want. I hope God does want you to be with the person who has all of the qualities you've listed since you deserve nothing but the best! /huggles and kisses

@LostSoul: That's what people told me too and I found my soulmate right out of high school once I got away from all those silly boys. XD

Btw am I the only person who finds my cute little imotou so wonderful? It's sooo hard to believe how much you've grown and changed since we first met! XD
» Katrina on 2007-05-31 09:10:23

i hope you find the guy XD
kuri, you really are a genuis. im sure theres a guy out there just as smart and talented as you are ^^.youre one of the most talented people i have ever read about. XD i would like to meet you and your perfect guy when you find him ^^ that would be really cool. everyone has their special somebody ^^but dont look too hard, or you wont find them XD sometimes, its better to wait for things to come to you ^^
good luck^^

re comment on Blackfire
thanx Kuri! I didn't even realize there were so many different blog sites. I actually have three names here on Nutang {this one, Blackfire and Bug} I mainly use this one, but I use the others to rant or whatever. I'm just considering the other sites. I'm not even sure if I'm gonna join any of them. But thank you, again, for listing others that I didn't know of =)

...
You know... my mother was convinced that I was going to go through life as a very lonely old lady cos she said my requirements for a future husband were... impossible. And I was pretty resigned to the fact that I was going to have to go through an endless stream of losers for the rest of my life. ANd then... bam. Just one day out of the blue... a winner appeared. Everything I ever wanted. All I'm saying is... it may take time, but you shouldn't settle. Wait for what you really want. It really will find its way to you.
