Well…first of all, I know you think she is cute as a button and all…and want to actually PUT her on a button, a “cute” button…but, I think she’d look better brunette. Just sayin’.

All kidding aside, sacrifices…there are some I’m willing to make and not others. Serious lifestyle sacrifices, absolutely not. When it comes to major things like politics and religion, it’s MUCH easier if you’re on the same page as someone to start off with. When it comes to small sacrifices, like doing things the other person loves but you hate (i.e. antiquing or certain sports)…in the grand scheme of things, they’re not that big of a deal. As long as the sacrificing is two-way.

Oh, wow! Geography is the only thing separating me from Johnny Depp, too, Kev. I can totally commiserate.

Oh, and the fact that I’m married. Trifles.

But to answer your questions:

For Johnny ONLY would I become a vegetarian. I am a lifelong carnivore but for his sake this seems like really not all that much to ask and, some would argue, it has the advantage of being healthier.

I don’t let anyone tell me how to wear my hair. This is actually because my hair tells ME how to wear IT. But then that’s OK because I know Johnny would like my hair the length that it is. OH! And TG (the guy I’m married to) likes it too!

I am a Republican and would not vote Democrat for anyone, even Johnny. But I would date a non-Republican if his name were Johnny Depp. And if I were no longer married. Which isn’t going to happen. Who’s on first?

No one would punch a kitten in my presence without getting punched themselves, somewhere very painful.

I would not date Nicolas Cage — even though he DID give Johnny a floor to sleep on when JD was homeless AND gave JD the idea to become an actor AND pointed him in the direction of the Nightmare on Elm Street audition — because aside from all that, to me NC is one of the most boring people on the planet. Sorry Nic. I know this news will be devastating to you but, well, c’est la vie.

I would not go within a hundred yards of the SatC movie. I’d rather chew radioactive shards of glass and wash ‘em down with lighter fluid.

Antiquing? Sure, with Johnny … as long as a protracted and romantic candlelight dinner was promised for the evening that followed the antiquing episode. With him, of course!

As far as other sacrifices, I have made many for my one true love: geographically, logistically, socially, ecclesiastically, grammatically, professionally, and many other -allys. It’s what we do for the sake of meaningful relationships.

Sorry Kristen lives so far from you because I know she’d love you, Kev. You’re all kinds o’ awesome.

Kristen Bell? Well she’s blonde….so not really my thing. She’s relativly attractive I guess. Dunno if I’d go as far as “Cute as a button” and Hockey isn’t all that bad….ok maybe it is.

Angi is right in the differences category. But as far as utter nonsence…I don’t care how hot or rich she is….if she was dumb as a brick I’d drop her faster than Shaun Alexander drops a football. But I don’t know the girl, so if she needed to and could change I’d have to give her a chance I guess.

@Angi: Ah yes. I’d forgotten about my idea to put Kristen Bell’s face ON a button. The combined cuteness would be too much. A brunette Kristen Bell could work. So, too, could a blue or green haired Kristen Bell. The latter two are why God invented hats.

We’re pretty much in agreement. The big things I won’t budge on, but the little things I’ll make sacrifices on so long as the other person is doing the same. Even hockey.

@Jenny: Since I’m super observant, I believe I’ve picked up on something about you no one else has — you sort of like Johnny Depp.

Do tell: what is your favorite Johnny Depp role?

@Yasumichi: You Washingtonians and your Shaun Alexander references. Gotta love them. I’d agree with you on the intelligence factor. A girl does NOT have to be educated, but she needs to be reasonably intelligent. Otherwise, my head would never stop hurting.

Jenny: Since I’m super observant, I believe I’ve picked up on something about you no one else has — you sort of like Johnny Depp. Do tell: what is your favorite Johnny Depp role?

HAHA! You’ve outed me, Kev! And I thought I was doing so well at disguising my fangirl self! Oh well … you might as well know, I am a certifiable JohnnyJunkie. And yes, that is the worst anyone can say about me, LOL!

I think Jack Sparrow (specifically in Curse of the Black Pearl and At World’s End), Sweeney in Sweeney Todd, James Barrie in Finding Neverland, and Gilbert in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape would be my fave Johnny roles, although I love many others. I think he’s brilliant and cute as a button.

No kitten-punching. I’m inflexible on the kitten-punching.

Otherwise my level of flexibility is in direct correlation with his level of “cute as a button-ness” The more button-like cuteness he has, the more flexible I am. I jest, I jest.

I would go to a lame movie for a date. I would watch *groans* football sometimes and I wouldn’t complain or criticize the sport. I would not change religions. I would switch to a different church if it was the same or a similar denomination and I did not have any issues with the doctrine–although I guess I would not actually make the switch for someone I was only dating–only if we were engaged. I would date someone who belongs to a political party (I’m non-partisan) but if he expected me to vote the same as he does–deal breaker. I would not become a vegetarian. I would go on a vegetarian date night, though. I would watch reality tv. I would watch sitcoms. I think you get the gist.

If you want a more intelligent girl…you could aim for Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Brittany, Lindsey…. Uhhhh….wow…nevermind….Just go to Wal Mart and look for the bin marked “Special”

Is the girl still Kristen Bell, cause I have to know how far she’d go for me… I’m going to stop there cause the rest of that thought gets a little dirty. Well a little is an understatement.

I think any changes to my own habits and personality would have to be matched, say for example she wants to go for a picnic, she would then have to sit next to me whilst I play video games in my underwear…

After spending many years hating the sport, I would sometimes watch football games with my ex-boyfriend, who was a HUGE Steelers fan. It just brought him so much joy, and honestly, it wasn’t so bad.

If my next boyfriend were really passionate about something, I would be willing to do/watch whatever that was (within reason, of course. I draw the line at kitten punching). I would expect the same from him with MY biggest passion, traveling. If he didn’t share that passion, it would be nice if he were willing to do it with me (and not complain), just because it’s such a huge part of my life.

That said, I would never change my morals/ideals for a guy. No religion or political party switches for me. And as for cutting my long hair short? ABSOLUTELY NOT, NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS.
