Me too! Do you know the traits associated with us Scorpios?
Well, I'm into the whole zodiac sign thing, and I think a lot of what they say about Scorpios is legitimate-especially about us being amazing sexual beings and sex fiends. What about you Carter? Am I right, fellow Scorpio? [laughs]
Rawr. [laughs] Besides the sex factor-which I totally have, by the way-what do you look for in a guy?
I'm very picky. In fact, i have a list.
List? You mean like Santa Clause naughty-or-nice list or a full-on checklist?
[laughs] Yes, an entire checklist!
Word? What's on it?
Are you sure you really want to know?
Yes!
Well, I like old-fashioned men-I love a gentleman who is respectful and treats me like I'm his everything. He has to be intelligent and have a good head on his shoulders. Unique, independent and humorous-I need to have someone who can put a smile on my face. I'm a complete joker myself. My man needs to be patient, understanding, sweet, thoughtful, spontaneous, very caring and honest. I can't stand men who are liars and who are fake to impress me. Be yourself and have the woman accept you for who you really are, and not for the person you're trying to be. Guys who do drugs, smoke cigarettes or are alcoholics need not apply.
Physical attributes that I like in a man are an adorable face with beautiful eyes and smile. Tall, with a nice-cut figure, too.
I have the perfect guy for you: Jesus Christ. If you're not into the whole beard thing, there's Gautama Buddha . . . sheesh, you weren't messing around with the list thing. If you had to pick six of the 128 listed, what would they be?
So you're asking me to drop my standards? [laughs] The most important would have to be: respectful, intelligent with a strong drive, no drugs, smoking or excessive alcohol, patient, understanding, and humorous.
That was more like nine, but I guess that works. Given your standards, are you a serial dater or a relationship kind of gal?
I'm definitely a relationship type of girl; I don't really date.
Didn't see that one coming . . . from left field, that answer was. Of the few you've had, what's the worst date you've been on?
It was with this guy who took me to a bar first and then to a club. And all night, all we did was disagree with one another so I ended up leaving him at the club. My number-one rule, in which he completely failed, is never to take me to a bar or a club on a first date.
Now there are rules on top of a checklist?! [laughs] So what's your idea of a perfect date?
A perfect date would be with an amazing person who would bring a dozen roses before taking me to a candle-lit dinner overlooking the ocean. Our dish would be from Lawry's Restaurant: prime rib, lobster, mashed potatoes and apple juice. After dinner, we would walk down to the beach and converse, laugh, watch the stars together and before the night ends we give each other a kiss.
All your story needs is the clock striking midnight, a wicked witch, a poison apple, glass slipper and a knight in shining armor and we can, like, totally sell it to Disney. Dreamworks, even. Besides hopeless romantic, do you have any other talents?
If you call sleeping for 16 hours straight a hidden talent. [laughs]
Alone, no. If you added "with a guy" to that statement, yes. To feed the romanticism, do you watch a lot of TV?
I don't really watch too much TV. I'm more of a movie person, the only show I really watch is the George Lopez show.
What are some of your favorite flicks?
I love The Notebook, Twilight, The Proposal and the first Transformers. The second Transformers, not so much.
Your thoughts on Megan Fox?
She's super gorgeous, but she's not my favorite. Angelina Jolie is. Angelina not only has a perfect body and is beautiful, but she's always helping out other people and seems like a good person overall.
Who needs personality when you're a fox? Wow, that was bad. Moving on, hobbies?
I love to dance, snorkeling, parasailing . . . What I really want to try is skydiving. Care to try?
About as much as I want to try self-crucifixion. I'll pass, thanks. What's the worst job you've ever had?
Before I became a nurse, I was a personal assistant/receptionist for this man who turned out to be a complete pervert.
Define "pervert"?
He didn't touch me or anything but he was really flirtatious. He would say inappropriate things and he would look at me weird. I would ask him questions and he wouldn't answer. He would be totally distracted, staring at my body-do you know what I'm talking about? Carter?
Huh? What? Sorry, uh, you were saying . . . ?
Carter!
