Your Personality Profile

You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.

How You Live Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You have one big dream in your life, and you never lose sight of it.

Your Seduction Style: Prized Object

The seduction game you play is tried, true, and still effective: hard to get. You know that the best seducers turn the tables - and get their crush to seduce them. The one running has the power, and you're a challenge that is worth the chase. You are a master of enticing and pulling back. Giving a little and taking some away. You are controlled enough to know rewards come after a long seduction dance. Even though you want to call, email, or say "I love you" first - you don't! You're style is the perfect mix of hot and cold - so much so that you have many suitors. Think Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's ... or any of those creepy guys from the Bachelor. You're skilled at inspiring a chase. The real test is picking the person to slow down for.

No Shot

Oh, I am totally hopeless. I’m in love and I have no shot.

Kristin Kreuk.

She’s petite, she’s unbearably cute and she would never give me a second look. The quintessential J Holden type. She is not a huge star. She is not some superficially perfect bombshell. She’s not even a really great actress, although I do love watching her act.

One of her teeth on the left side of her mouth sticks out just a little more than the others. She has this slightly exotic and wildly unique look about her. The perfect mix of European and Asian genes.

I don’t think she is someone who would stop me in my tracks at first sight. But rather, someone who strikes you more and more every time you look at her. That’s the best.

Ahhh, maybe someday I’ll make it to Hollywood – like I often dream about. Maybe, then, I’ll meet Kristin. If I ever do, you better believe I’ll take my shot.

Even if I don’t really have one.

A Parable

My favorite television show was on last week.

The main character finally got what he wanted. He won the girl. He had spent years and years wanting her, but had been unwilling to reveal his Secret to her, and hence unable to get close to her.

But this week, Destiny was allowed to unfold. He took the ultimate chance. He risked it all. He laid everything he had out on the table in an effort to win her. The Secret was told and a marriage proposal followed. So now the girl knew all there was to know about him. She knew the Truth.

And she accepted. She accepted him and she accepted his proposal. It was Beautiful. Things were as they were meant to be. All was right with the world.

However…Evil stepped in and took it all away. Being chased in a car by her new fiancé’s worst enemy, the girl was hit by a bus. Killed. The Enemy desperately wanted to know the Secret and he let rage take control.

Despite all of his powers, the Hero was unable to get there in time. This time, he couldn’t save her. Everything was finally right but quickly, everything turned wrong.

Miraculously given a second chance to alter these events – the Hero withheld his Secret this time. Scared that the girl, knowing this valuable information, would forever be put in harm’s way – he decided that it was better to not be with her.

What a decision.

Can you imagine pushing your Soul Mate away? For ANY reason?
Someone that you’ve wanted to be with for as long as you can remember. Someone who you know, right down to the bottom of your big, thumping heart, is the One.

Oh, I know that I’m a softie. Always have been. But the events that unfolded in this episode were some of the most beautiful, yet tragic and sad events that I’ve ever witnessed on screen.

It’s fake – I know. It’s just a story. But what is a story?

It’s a parable of Life. Things like this do happen, after all. That’s what that song, “You’re Beautiful” is about.

“But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.”
