Hmm, OK, we'll let you scrape through with just a passing grade. But I expect you to knuckle down next semester, young man.
(I wonder, is there anyone who's ever owned a digital camera who hasn't at some point taken a photo they probably wouldn't have taken (or been allowed to take) in the old days of taking-your-film-down-the-chemist's-to-be-developed? I steer well clear of my parents' My Pictures folder, I tell you, just in case, and let them send me the good pictures of Lula they might take; there are some things man was not meant to know)

What? What did I miss here? Truly. I started thinking about what my ideal woman would be back when I was about seven. By the time I was fourteen, I had a finished first draft. After tht, a few things got refined or reworded, but no major additios or deletions. And Jen was a line-item match.
Tall, but not too. About 5'8" Athletic build Blue-eyed brunette Impressive, but not ungainly, boobs Some stuff detailing eye and eyebrow shape(s) (no Britney Spears "down at the outside" eyes; no ruthlessly plucked eyebrows) Winning smile Smart enough, witty enough, and sarcastic enough to keep up with me Interest in sci-fi/fantasy genres (Star Trek/Star Wars a plus) Interest in science Creative Musical aptitude Proud of ancestry, but not unduly racist Interest in outdoor activities (hiking, camping, paintball...) Sexually enthusiastic and inventive Likes to cook -- and eat Likes to play adult dress-up (Star Trek and Star Wars uniforms, fancy dress, formalwear... and the naughty stuff) Wants to be marrieed and have a couple kids Likes to read Likes an evening of movies/TV And even given all this, is always capable of surprising me
That better, Lee?

For the record the line "Impressive, but not ungainly, boobs" was the winner for me. I'm still grinning here at that one. Quite aside from the fact that I think "Ungainly Boobs" sounds like a Terry Pratchett character (or a VERY unlucky native American), I like the mental imagery.

Sorry, it comes from a Pratchett book called Reaper Man:
*****************
"Why are you called One-man-bucket?"
"...In my tribe we're traditionally named after the first thing my mother sees when she looks out of the tepee after the birth. It's short for one-man-pouring-a-bucket-of-water-over-two-dogs."
"That's pretty unfortunate."
"It's not too bad. It was my twin brother you had to feel sorry for. She looked out ten seconds before me to give him his name."
"don't tell me, let me guess. Two-dogs-fighting?"
"Two-dogs-fighting? Two-dogs-fighting? Wow, he would have given his right arm to be called Two-dogs-fighting."
