i just had an interesting conversation with my friend Ayako. it was funny because she was asking me a lot of questions regarding what would happen if i met a white girl (meaning for romance; and if you know me, my current preference is sushi :p). the answer i gave her was that i did and she got married. that person who got married was my friend Cyndi Bear. she was going to the same university as me and was about the same age. probably one of the nicest people i've ever met. but the main quality i liked about her was that she never judged me. obviously, if you read my blog you'd say i've got a ton of issues (and that's being nice). so for someone to come across me and not judge me is a spectacular person, indeed. that's what Cyndi was like to me. she wasn't judgmental, or if she did feel some negativity towards me, i never knew. but i doubt she would. she was so laid back it was scary. she reminded me of the mother i never had. the one that would make sure you're okay and comfort you when your day went bad. she wasn't stupid either. she wasn't entirely academic. she was well balanced. most people aren't like this. but people ought to be because they need a sense of being grounded to something. heck, reading my crap you'd probably think i should be tied to the ground since my ideas are always lofty. but when it came to Cyndi, she was too pragmatic in some ways. i'm not talking about everything as she had her issues too. but i always felt she could balance me out somehow. that's a near impossible feat to accomplish for anyone. but i really liked having this conversation tonight. many people often ask me what i like in a woman. unfortunately, i tend to veer off into some strange course that ends up being silly or impossible in itself. but remembering Cyndi reminds me of what i do like in a woman. not just in a japanese woman, or whatnot. but some of the fundamental qualities that would win a woman over for me. too bad i lost contact with Cyndi. hopefully, i'll catch up with her sometime. and if you are reading this by any stretch of the imagination, join up with myspace and look for keithyw.
