you found me

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded

- You Found Me, The Fray

Let's get inside Super Boy's mysterious persona with this entry, shall we? Hopefully, once you get to know the brighter side of him, you won't dislike him so much.

o1. He's one of the brightest people I know. He can talk about anything, from philosphy to history, from art to science, anything you can think of. I love the fact that it doesn't matter where I take him or with who, he will always find some subject to talk about and thus ease the discomfort. If there is one thing I love about a man, is having something to admire and look up to. I don't want to sound conceited, but there aren't a lot of people that can challenge me in a discussion, and Super Boy hits the nail every single time. His arguments always have my brain on overdrive and I love that.

o2. He's incredibly chivalrious. Whoever said chivalry is dead obviously never met Super Boy. His mother educated him in a rather old fashioned way in that sense, and so he will always open the door for you, let you pass first, walks on the side of the sidewalk closest to the street, hugs you close whenever suspicious men walk by, leads you when the crowd is thick, and all those nice little details that drive me nuts. Seriously, I'm so easy. Just pack a man with excellent manners and a chivalrious attitude, and I'm all over him.

o3. He's incredibly confident and his self esteem is soaring. Men that are afraid of rejection and thus never take the first step irritate me. I love the fact that Super Boy handles himself with confidence in any situation, and is always straightforward and charismatic.

o4. He is always telling me just how much he likes everything about me. On days I feel like the ugliest, most stupid female alive, he can make me feel like a princess in a second. It doesn't matter if my skin isn't clear, or that I don't have a model body, or that my hair sometimes refuses to cooperate. To him I look great always, and that is one big ego boost every girl needs.

o5. He's very affectionate, and even if we are sitting amidst a large group, he always finds a way to make contact, whether he reaches out for my hand, or rests his arm against my leg, or leans his head to touch my forehead, or kisses my shoulder. Sometimes, when I'm washing dishes, he comes over and wraps his arms around my waist, resting his chin against my shoulder, and talks to me about his day. When we're walking back from school, he wraps an arm around my shoulder and pulls me close, sometimes resting his head against mine. When we're sitting at opposite sides of the room, or when for some reason we're not standing together, he always searches for me and winks, like saying 'don't worry, everything's all right, I'm here.'

o6. He can read me like few people can, and knows whenever I'm upset, or sad, or not feeling very well. Then he goes out of his way to make me feel better.

o7. Not only is he environmentally friendly, he also wants to work to improve the lives of the mexican people. I think it's great that he's so involved in what surrounds him, both society and nature. It may not appear so at first glance, but he is always willing to go out of his way to help the people he cares about.

o8. He believes in me. Complete blind faith in me, in what I am, in what I will become. I've shared all my dreams, all my hopes, all my goals, and he's rooted for every single one of them. He doesn't hope I will achieve them, he knows I will. It's refreshing to have someone that not only believes you can achieve anything, but pushes you constantly to do it. Whenever I'm procrastinating about an assigment or leaving responsabilities aside in favor of silly stuff, he's always there to get my butt back on track and remind me what's at stake.

o9. He writes like a dream. His dominion of prose is astounding, not to mention captivating. Everything he has written to me took my breath away, and continues to do so whenever I reread those letters.

o10. He's the perfect balance between a strong, unbreakable macho and a corny love fool. I hate guys that think being romantic or having small details with their girlfriend is a sign of weakness, and the guys that drip corniness all over the place and write verses and sing songs and make big dramatic gestures so the whole world finds out just how much they love their girlfriends. Both opposites irritate me beyond belief, and Super Boy is the perfect balance between them. He knows when he has to be the protective, strong, serious and manly boyfriend, and when he can be sweet and romantic and make my heart melt.

o11. Call me crazy, but I've come to love his build. I used to swear I would never date a guy thinner than me, but then along came Super Boy. I love how skinny he is and the fact that his back is so broad and his hands are so big. Whenever Captain Awesome hugged me, I remember I always disliked just how big he was, and the curves of his body felt strange, compared to the rough edges of Super Boy. I mean, I'm supposed to be the curvy one of the two! I also love his cheekbones, exactly like one male model I love called Eugene Bauder. I've always had a thing for cheekbones, and it's one of the first things I notice about people. Weird, I know.

o12. He's an amazing dancer. One of the things that will always attract me to a guy is if he dances. Very few guys make an attempt to dance normal club music like pop and electronic, let alone salsa and stuff like that. Super Boy has very good rhythm, and we mold very well. He's one of the few guys I can dance perfectly with, with no missed steps or kneee banging involved.

o13. I love the way he dresses. He's got a casual, comfy style but always very trendy. He wears dress shirts often, and that drives me wild.
