Recipe for the Perfect Boyfriend

Ever wish you could just throw a bunch of ingredients into the oven and have the perfect boyfriend pop out? Of course you do! And now you can, with my awesome, metaphorical contribution to recipes (because when I cook for real, the skies turn dismal and gray, and hope becomes a far-off dream).

INGREDIENTS:

- A dash of intelligence
 - A pinch of cuteness
 - A handful of endearing quirks
 - A smidgeon of social awkwardness
 - A pair of really cool pants

Optional: Abs you could grate cheese on, the kind of perfectly wavy hair that defies logic and reason, and/or a smile that is the embodiment of all that is good in the world.

DIRECTIONS: Chuck it all into a bowl (large, red, and zebra-shaped… THIS IS IMPORTANT! DO NOT FORGET) and mix until well blended (if it’s not the color of lilacs, you did something wrong). Toss in a few other qualities that are unique to the creator’s tastes. For instance, I might add the following:

- Must love books
 - Must frolic on occasion
 - Must be able to say he once licked all the frosting off four consecutive cupcakes
 - Must love holidays to the extent that his passion scares some small children (but only the skittish ones)
 - Must not recoil from the unsightly massacre that is me eating cake
 - Must like video games, especially Mario Kart
 - Must let me always be Baby Luigi while playing Mario Kart
 - If he insists on taking Baby Luigi, he must not complain when I’m forced to be Yoshi and make his life a living hell
 - Must have a really embarrassing public speaking story under his belt
 - Must own a fedora (I defy you to show me one man who looks bad in a fedora)
 - Must like dogs
 - Must dislike cookies (more for me)
 - Must be Orlando Bloom (optional but strongly encouraged)

Bake for approximately 1.5 to 6.72 hours, or until golden-brown. Sprinkle on some cinnamon and an all-around good personality. Let cool for 30 minutes. (Or don’t. Who does that, anyway?) And there you have it—a perfectly good boyfriend, fresh from the oven and ready for a date at the cinema!
