in which our heroine continues the meme -- day three: eight things.

eight ways to win my heart:

1. be honest. it's simple and it's cliché, but it's true.

2. be creative. my sweetheart got me to notice him in an interesting, unique, wonderfully geeky way.

3. be well-spoken. don't say something or someone is "gay" or "retarded". you don't have to be politically correct, but don't say things that make you out to be a moron.

4. have a great sense of humor. another cliché, I know, but laughing until you cry with someone is such a great feeling.

5. really get me. if that one has to be explained, then you (the general "you") don't.

6. be considerate. treat people and animals kindly.

7. be as into me as I am into you.

8. and finally, when all else fails...offer chocolate.
