Online Journal Entry #18

"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. ~Roy Croft
Ahh, Valentine's Day--that special day for everyone to think about true love--whether you want to or not! :) You may or may not have a special person in your life right now, but you can always think about what it is you are looking for in that person. Are you looking for someone who is just like you? Opposite of you? What characteristics are you looking for in the one you love? Ziglar said, “You can't hit a target you cannot see, and you cannot see a target you do not have.” So, what qualities are most important to you? Think about it!

  1. I want someone who is their self. They dont lie to try and impress someone. They have an actual personality, they arn't just a hollow shell. They arn't trying to follow the latest trend to please their peers. Just nice, funny, intelligent, etc.

  2. for me i want someone who's going to do something with their life and not just think it's just a time to party... I want someone who is going to try and live life right :) I don't want some dumb little kid who just wants to party every night and get screwed up, cause with that in your life you will achieve nothing..

  5. Hmm. Well I hate Valentine's Day. I think it is a stupid holiday because all you do is get lovey dovey over someone you like/love. In consideration i like when guys are nice and caring, but not suck ups.

  9. Some qualities I look for in a girl are that she needs to have a great sense of humor, she needs to be cute, she needs to like games on some level, and she needs to not be weirded out easily because im pretty weird. And I'm happy to say that i've already found this person and we've been together for a long time. I love her.

  10. The most immportant qualitys that i would look for in a girl is that they have to respect or understand what i like to do for fun. A person that can respects themselfs that way others can respect them. Usually valentines day is a great day for me. It being my birthday. I just turned 16 and now i have a car. If i dont have someone to share that "special feeling" with i know i still have my family who loves me. :)

  16. I love Valentine's Day. It is a day where people to take a day and spend it with their sinficant other, or if your younger your boyfriend, and go out and just remember why you like each other. & In the opposite sex I would say I like to have trust, honesty, and someone who I can just be myself. Right now I do have a boyfriend and I honestly can see things going good like in the future. I know that I am young but I honestly can see us being together for along while. He has what I am looking for I don't have to act like something I am not when I am with him. He makes me laugh and smile for no reason and just being around him is a good day. But That is what I am looking for and the most important quality would have to be trust..

  17. Well intelligence, kindness, and responsibility are the best qualities in everyone, especially in a person you love. I wouldn't be with someone that's exactly like me, but some common interests are best. If not it would be really boring, but it still wouldn't be fun if they're too much like you.

  18. what i look in a girl is that they are cute. they have cute eyes, face, smile, and laugh. i also have to know them.

  19. well i look for a girl that is fun to hang with and doesnt act all weird. but i like a girl who i could act the same around and feel confortable around to. But the most thing is that they cant be a control freak becuase i will not tolerate that at all. but yea.

  20. Actually, I'm not looking for anyone right now. I probably want to be single forever. I don't need anyone. I have my family and friends.

  21. Peglegstan and Rupunzel: Whether you are looking for someone at this point in your life is irrelevant. What qualities are important for someone to have for you to want them to be a part of your life--for friendship if nothing else. Please address the prompt to get full credit.

  25. I don't think this is relevent to blogging but regardless this is for a grade. If I had to describe the person I'd be looking for, it would probably be someone who shares my views, interests, so pretty much a similiar me.

    ReplyDelete
  26. @peglegstan- are you serious get a life i understand video games are fun but jeez thats a bit overboard.

    But yea i look for someone smart and not just book smart, i can't stand people who make good grades but they are actually stupid. Another thing is I'd like someone who has the same interests but not all the same. They have to be attractive and have a sense of humor.Someone i can just talk to.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I want someone who can take a joke. I like to mess around and not be taken seriously and i hate when a girl takes everything i say seriously. Its also nice to be with someone who reminds you that they care about you.If a girl is annoying and talks too much she is most likely a lier and just trying too hard. Makes me mad when she puts her friends before you no matter what the situation is. She needs to be truthful, funny, caring and attractive. By attractive i dont mean she has to be the best looking person she just needs to be attractive to you in any way so you don't have a need to look at anyone else to find what you want because she will have it.

  28. Im looking for a girl that is nice, funny, smart, and pretty. Someone that isnt afraid to say how they feel. Someone that is outgoing.

  29. Wow! Some of you have put a lot of thought into this already!

    And ????, I must beg to differ. Blogging, by definition, is the sharing of the bloggers' "experiences, observations, opinions, etc." Like with any journal entry, this prompt is asking you to consider and briefly write about some things that are important to you in relation to some random thing going on in the world--in this case, Valentine's Day! Sometimes, considering and expressing your thoughts should push you out of your comfort zone a little. And again, part of the beauty of this particular blog is the anonymity so you can explore your own thoughts without having to share them out loud in class!! :)

  30. I personally hate Valentines Day because I believe you should love on your girlfriend/wife everyday, not just one "special day". The girl I would be looking for it has a fun personality, no one stuck up.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The girl's just got to be real. Like just a chill, funny, and cool person. I would want to be able to be friends with her not just in a romantic relationship because for something to actually work you've got to be able to get along and have chemistry with the person you're with. Oh, and being good looking would help a little as well haha :)

  32. at the moment im not really caring if i have someone or not. its not something im going out trying to find, but if i find someone who catches my eye, i'll make sure to not let it go unnoticed

    ReplyDelete
  33. What I look for in a is not so much her looks but how she presents her self. like if shes always dressed in pajamas it shows me that she didn't really care what she looked like when she got up. As well as a nice and fun having personality.

  34. I believe that for a relationship to last you both cannot have all the same intrests, some yes, but not exactly alike it gets boring. I'm looking for a person who is honest! Honesty is a very important quality in my book, also someone who is caring, affectionate, and is genuinely just a nice person. Oh, and being attractive definatly helps haha :)

  39. I want someone who accepts me for who I am and not who they think I can be. Someone who accepts my flaws and shows me how to build off of them. Not just point them out and try to "fix" them.
