Ellen's one of those people where coffee actually calms her nerves instead of energizing her. No matter whether it's the beginning or the end of her day, she always sits by herself outdoors and has a cup of coffee while she watches the sun come up. She thinks about each member of her extended family in turn - where they might be, imagining what they're doing.
When she's done, she asks whoever's running the show to please find it in their hearts to give everyone she cares about another day to do what they need to do on this earth.
#21. Turn-ons? Turn-offs?
Wisdom as opposed to intelligence - she appreciates an educated man, but only if they can apply what they know to the real world.
Somebody who has strong, well formed hands and knows what to do with them. Ellen can appreciate the practical value of someone who can make and fix things, and who also has enough imagination to put their hands to more pleasurable use. *g*
Strong, well-formed shoulders for purely shallow reasons.
Turn-offs include arrogance in all its forms. Anyone who underestimates or dismisses her. She also has no use for weakness - physical, emotional or character. Ellen has reached a point in her life where she wants a true partner. She doesn't want somebody she has to take care of anymore than she wants somebody to take care of her all the time.
#47. If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?
As I kind of mentioned for 21 - Ellen is looking for a true partner. Somebody who respects her strengths and weaknesses and where she is in her life, and who she can respect in turn. They have to be willing to argue with her, but understand that she has a few points she will never compromise on.
They have to be clever and interesting, understand the value of family, and preferably not be looking for forever out of her. If forever happens great - but she doesn't want to see it as part of the master relationship plan.
