The New and Improved
Magic List
alrighty... here it is, folks. the even newer and more improved magic list. i recently realized that some things i dont care about any more, and some things i suddenly do care about. so i redid the list yet again. my roommate used to think i was a dumb asshole for doing this--she said, "how would you feel if you knew someone was grading you?" (my response was along the lines of... "everyone does it subconciously anyways!")--but eventually it turned into a big joke. so on a serious note, guys especially: this is fun. i dont take it too seriously. each guy must be determined on a case-by-case basis. and if you pay attention... i dont have that many "absolutely must" things... most of the things listed below are just plusses. so dont take it to heart if you dont get a good score... you're still a great guy. you just might not be right for me. with that in mind, i've divided the former list into three sections: Musts, preferences, and negatives. they should speak for themselves. the individual items arent in any specific order, their importance is deemed by the amount of points that they are worth (ie, a nice smile is more important than height). have fun, and dont take life (or this list) too seriously!
| Musts | |
| Proximity: |
10=tacoma 5=seattle 3=portland anywhere further automatically disqualifies you, sorry! |
| agreement on music: add 1 pt. for each of these bands/labels that you like/support (i have tons more, these are just the minimum, the 10 i couldnt live without) OR... if you listen to metal-ish (tool, disturbed, godsmack, etc.) but would go with me to a punk show, go ahead and add 5 cause you're cool too. |
--Hellcat Records --Fearless Records --Fat Wreck Chords --random/obscure punk compilations --Rancid --Nirvana --Tsunami Bomb/cool girl stuff --Less Than Jake/ska stuff --Flogging Molly/irish stuff --local bands! |
| drug use: | 0=if you do hard drugs regularly 0=if you're a militant straight edge (you wouldnt like me, haha) 5=if you have experimented with hard drugs (pot doesnt count) 10=havent touched anything (except pot/liquor) |

137 will be my base number, since it is the highest score you can get if you play all instruments and get max on the scale points, but not including points for piercings/tattoos (cause i dont have a limit on that). so add up your total, and then divide by 137 to get your percentage. if you're up to it, email it to me, cause i've been keeping track of these things.
SO FAR........
