high bar.

i know a lot of really nice people... people who are constantly wishing eternal bliss upon me... all of which i appreciate. really.

but lately, i get the sense these people think i'd achieve said bliss already if i didn't set my bar so high {maybe because of the "aubry, your bar is set too high" lectures........}

sure, i have strong feelings about being nice, being cute, and possibly have been a little too outspoken about a man's salary. i will not relent. my bar is appropriately set.

BUT.

i realized something the other day. i only really care about three things:

1. i must be attracted to this man.

2. he must share my religious conviction.

{nothing too exceptional so far, right?}

3. he must have a savvy knowledge of pop culture and current events.

i don't think that's too much to ask. if we're going to be together forever, i don't want a man rolling his eyes at me when i talk about the mysteriously high number of hollywood couples giving birth to twins or what film will receive the most nods at the oscars this year.
