20. Because I'm short... he's short... short short people in a short short world wearing short short shorts...

19. For I am deeply and truly in love with him... or at least, infatuated. I don't like to use the word "obsessed" as it makes me feel all stalkeresque. I mean, puh-lease, it's not like I look into his bedroom window every night!

18. Because he played a munchkin in Wizard of Oz... and hey, I am a munchkin from Oz [Australia]!

17. I have a purple car; he has a purple car...shweet.

16. I have a small nose; he has a big nose... if we were ever to copulate, our offspring would have perfect noses.

15. I am part Spanish; he's part Puerto Rican... I don't know what the connection is. It was just fun to say it.

14. He loves Oriental food... I'm Oriental...would I constitute as food? Hmmmm...

13. I've actually read The Outsiders and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Sad to say, I only read The Outsiders because of Howie. And darnit, curiosity made the cat fall asleep in boredom.

12. Because my idea of a perfect date ends at the beach too... walking barefoot on the sand, the stars above lighting our path... *dreamy sigh* Yikes, did I just DO THAT?

11. I love me some D&M's. No, no, not S&M's! [sheesh, what were you thinking!][although...] Deep and Meaningfuls are my specialty. Howie likes to talk; I like to talk... between he and I, nobody would get a word in edgewise.

10. I, too, have a huge family. Imagine where we'd have to hold family gatherings [hmm... dahling, is Canada big enough?]

9. He has a great body... it would aesthetically balance out what my body lacks in fitness and svelte.

8. I have a great imagination... he looks like he could use some new ways of styling his hair.

7. He needs a girl; I need a guy... you do the math.

6. Between his singing career and my never ending crooning, a place would never have a moment's lack of music.

4. We both have brown eyes... yeah, yeah, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here. But give me a break, we're almost down to numero uno. This crap's getting hard.

3. Because I think he's a hottie... now if he could only like me for me, not because I'm phat like Cindy Crawford, but because I have so much to offer...

2. Because I'm too decisive; he's too indecisive... together we can rule the world! *BwahAhaHAhahA!*

1. Because I always wanted a big Catholic wedding, complete with bridesmaid in puke-colored gowns and a spoiled little flower girl. Oh and a huge reception with lots of guests... the cake would have five tiers... and my wedding dress would be off-the-shoulder and be silk and...
