Laurie recently gave a list of what she looks for in an MOTAS--which
I mostly agree with--with one addition:

I am looking for someone who is basically happy, has an underlying
positive outlook.  It's ok to be ironic, it's ok to be sarcastic, and
I'll admit there are a lot of things out there to get legitimately
mad about. BUT I've known too many people who give off this constant
low-level anger/bitterness about their boss, their parents, the 
Republican party, fundamentalist Christians, or whatever.  And I've
decided that I don't want to live around that for any length of time.
I'll admit that everyone (including me) goes through phases like that
but some people seem to do if for years...
