List the qualities and characteristics I'd like in a girlfriend

I want to be with someone that makes me feel like i’m in a country music video…the way the music is upbeat, the way you feel like you can finally breathe a breath of fresh air.. young and full of hope.
i want to be with my best friend. i want to know them and be there for them. i want to be able to go through hard times together.
the person i want to be with reminds me of skinny dipping in the dark, being wrapped up on the porch during a storm, and sitting in the lotus position on a sunday morning.
this person is calming like the breeze, grounding like a tree in the earth, sparkling like a star in the night. this person should also be like water – finding and making it’s own path.
most of all, this person’s essence is love.

I was hanging out with a very cool chick the other day. and we had a lot in common. random things, in fact.
and we were discussing the “love” issue. does it exist? what is it?
I have decided through a series of rather painful experiments that there isn’t someone i’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with (romantically). there are people that come into my life at certain points to help me, or for me to help, or anything like that.
that takes a lot of the pressure out of things. that doesn’t mean that i’m just going to go sleeping around, but it does mean that i allow myself to look around and see what i like.
i want someone that is independent of me and doesn’t need to talk to me every day to know that i care about them. i also want someone that will do things with me that i like, and i’ll do things they like.. and we don’t always have to want to.
=)

And the list begins:
*active or desire to be
*confident
*independent
*kind, loving, caring
*honest
*works a good program

physically, I cant really pinpoint my type yet.. but I like the athletic/boyish looks. as long as there is not a HUGE difference in height, i’m okay with it. i don’t like chicks that wear a lot of makeup (or obvious makeup). I also don’t like chicks that are “drop dead gorgeous” aka fake.
give me a girl that just got back from a run and i’m good =P
