Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There are multiple Google logos today. And they are cute.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Leafing through the mental rolodex of lovers, I can safely say none looked even remotely like a) any family member or b) each other.
Ditto this. I do have a type but none of my lovers have matched it. Well, the male ones. The female ones have.

Because books.
My female type is pretty specific -- Carla Gugino or Mila Kunis. Or a combination thereof.

Not familiar with the artist Google is paying tribute to. Maybe I should Google that. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My female type is typically aggro. Or Christina Hendricks.

I have many types. The women strayed furthest from the ideal, though.
N probably matched closest to any of my female ideals. And I am constantly drawn to women who look like she did back in '96, when she still had those long, glorious curls. (I've seen pictures of her online, and she's still just mind-numbingly gorgeous, but in a more modern way.)
Paul's the least close to my physical type of anyone I've been with for more than an evening. I mean, he's pretty, but in a softer way than my usual OH HAI, CHEEKBONES! aspect and far hairier than I tend to like in men.
Honestly, I think I tended to go for men based on the "would we make pretty children?" test. Paul clearly passed that in practice.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sumi,
that is pretty crazy. The only way that would be okay (in my eyes) is if the administrator got estimates on house painting and donated that sum to the program.
Otherwise, you aren't going to tell me that painting individual property counts as this activity. Where is the educational value?
Erg.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My female type is typically aggro. Or Christina Hendricks.
If we could only get her to play Big Barda.
I don't have a type. A fair number of Jewish girls, but the only common personality trait is a certain warmth to the personality. Physically they've been everything from 5'1" to 6 feet tall, skinny as a rail to quite bodacious, brunettes, blondes, redheads, WASPy girls, Jewish girls, hmmm, not a lot of Italians (though JZ has both Italian and Greek), Asian (Filipino), Hispanic (Half Mexican, actually), Black (extremely beautiful, tall and bodacious. I think she's just swinging with the girls nowadays. In Portland, now that I think of it, meara...).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't have a physical type. Boys, girls, tall, short, skinny, stocky/curvy, blond(e), brunette, white, mixed... Mostly I go for outsized personalities (KBD was a blip, there), and they all seem to have a hidden brick wall that I run into. Repeatedly. Hrmph.
