Superman. He's a person however, not a thing, but I am completely serious. I love Superman. I even have the tattoo to prove it. I actually wrote a note on Facebook a couple years back about how much I loved Superman and why, and I printed it out and gave it to my parents to convince them that it was a good idea for me to get the tattoo. Here it is:
"Over the years I am sure many of you have wondered why Superman is so important to me. What is the big deal about Superman? Well.... I'll tell you. Ever since I was a little girl I have known about Superman. I used to watch the Adventures of Lois and Clark and that is when my love began. Superman embodies all that is good. He embodies near perfection. And that is what I want in a guy. A guy who is perfect to me. Superman is also a reminder to me not to settle for anything less than what Ive wanted all my life. That is why I am always like "I love Superman soooo much". When I do call someone superman It means that I am truly deeply in love, and that is a scary feeling. I have only called one guy Superman.... ever. And he was far from perfect, but I was so in love that I found him perfect. Over the years I slowly became more aware that he was more like Bizarro than Superman (excuse the comic book lingo). And so my search for my Superman continues. I may already know the guy, I may not have even met him yet, but I know God has my Superman prepared for me, and I certainly can not wait to know who it is. In the meantime though I plan on working on my relationship with God so that I can be ready to truly be Lois Lane.
Im a geek, I know, but this is something important in my life that I want people to understand. When I say I want a Superman tattoo I say that because I want a permanent reminder to NEVER settle for anything less than the man I can truly call my Superman."
Yeah. I'm pretty dorky. :)
