I prefer sarcasm to slapstick, crunchy peanut butter to smooth,
sunsets to sunrises, autumn to spring, rhinestones to diamonds,
dive bars to clubs, and Peets coffee to chamomile tea. I feel lucky
to live in the Bay Area and unless a long-lost relative bequeaths
me a castle in France, I want to spend my life here. My friends are
important to me and I want someone who will fit in well with us
taking burritos and sake to Dolores Park on a sunny spring day.
Some nights, I want to go out and sip gin and tonics all night long
and some nights I want to stay in, make a grilled cheese, and watch
re-runs of Dexter. Intellect is important to me and I like it in
men. I also like men who know what they want and who have a pretty good idea of how to get it. I thoroughly enjoy my life and routines--"This American Life" and yoga on Saturdays, farmer's market on Sunday-- and am looking to expand my circle.

I'm a high school English teacher, trying to steer my students away from Twilight and toward Vonnegut.

What I am up to in the parallel universes.

Cooking dinner (cous cous with tomatoes and basil?) and on my way out for drinks with friends. If my students have worn me out, I am watching old Fringe episodes in bed.

I had a huge crush on Rob Morrow during the "Northern Exposure" era. Huge. In fact, if you are reading this Rob, call me.

You know the difference between "your" and "you're"
You miss Firefly
You want to visit Iceland one day
Where you get your burrito is important to you
You secretly wish you were a fisherman
