When I was 15, at the peak of my wisdom in terms of love, life and what makes a person happy, I wrote up a list of 101 things I wanted in a guy.

Among them were:

78. Writes with a ballpoint pen

19. Listens to NPR

55. Likes green beans

Now I wonder why I thought it could be that simple or that complicated.  I mean, who doesn’t like green beans?
